In the meantime, please stay tuned for many more development updates and exciting surprises. Thank you for being a part of this journey with us!
In the vast world of Uwando, you'll encounter weather phenomena that can make survival challenging for wandering caravans. This meteorological chaos is known as the Phithi.
During your travels, you may come across various weather types such as Sandstorms and Acid Downpours :

You might ask, why would you choose to go through this chaos?
Well, these weather phenomena seriously limit your visibility and, at the same time, present their own set of unique challenges and rewards!
In them, you will encounter some new types of enemies.

These elementals can only be found within the weather phenomena on the map, as they are a manifestation of the Phithi's unrest.

The weather you encounter can modify certain elements of the map, causing watchtowers to collapse and wells to become contaminated with acid.
In conclusion, as you start your adventure in Uwando, the chaotic weather can be both your greatest challenge and a source of unique rewards.
