Salutations, Duelists! As of Monday, September 2, 2024, a new patch has gone live for NeoDuel: Backpack Monsters. To experience the most recent and up to date build of NeoDuel demo on Steam, make sure you update your game. [u][b][h2]NEW CONTENT FOR THE GAME:[/h2][/b][/u] [b]NEW ARCHETYPE: FOS RU DRAGONS[/b] If you remember the 0.9.0 Patch ([url=https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2693940/view/4370265995221738339]which you can read here in case you missed it[/url]), we wanted to introduce a new Cosmion archetype that feels rare and powerful, and our pick was Dragons. Mystical being that can be found in the folklore of many different cultures around the world, we felt that Dragons fit perfectly in our goal was to create an archetype that could embrace any Element and serve as a set piece with sufficient variation to accommodate various builds. While we already had two Dragons in the game, Houshan and Runghai, they were Legendary Cosmions you could only buy in the shop. With this patch, we're removing those two dragons from the shop rotation, and introducing the base Cosmion known as Baby Dragon.

The latter will then need to be fused with Essences, to become one of the following 5 Elemental Dragons: [olist] [*] [b][NEW] Air Dragon:[/b] We realized that there is not a viable "fog" build, so this is our first attempt on creating one. The reason fog and rain doesn't really have builds is because we think these debuffs are a bit too "toxic" gameplay wise. [*] [b][NEW] Nature Dragon:[/b] Gaining shield won't damage your opponent, but a Dragon which gains damage as you gain shields will. [*] [b]Electric Dragon (Runghai):[/b] The thunderous Dragon has been reworked. While it was just a pure damage dealer, now it ramps up damage equal to player's energy regeneration on every attack. [*] [b][NEW] Water Dragon:[/b] Gain flow and damage. Free flowing Dragon power! [*] [b]Fire Dragon (Houshan):[/b] We just adjusted some of its stats but the main abilities are still the same. [/olist] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44786371/c16e2aa79d6a53657d5d6795743db0cf704fe4ff.png[/img] At the moment, only the Fire and Electric Dragon are named, and our plan is to have fun new names for the other three by launch.
