Today, we'd like to introduce you to a unique and transformative set of weapons that every aspiring Bishop needs to learn how to fight with. And, as there are many dangers along the way, a versatile arsenal will come in handy. Extraordinary problems require extraordinary solutions, and [b]DIVOS - the Divine Instrument Versus Original Sin[/b] - is truly a problem-solver like no other. Entrusted to Bishops of the Church of Sheol, these form-shifting relics help them carry out their duty of safeguarding Antioch. Indeed, just as DIVOS shapes itself into a deadly armament, so does it shape its wielder into a champion. [h3][b]Per Astra Ad Astra[/b][/h3] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40723431/9b32d030d30729369d447f6e87b63d1c23021ffa.gif[/img] One of the staples of the RPG genre is a party composed of memorable characters, the uniqueness of which often ends up being translated directly into gameplay mechanics. Mixing and matching diverse character archetypes - jobs, classes, what have you - is part of the fun of engaging with RPGs. In SacriFire, these party archetypes are embodied by Ezekiel’s DIVOS. Our fearless hero is able to switch between Astras - or weapons - on the fly, which is not unlike switching jobs mid-battle in certain installments of the Final Fantasy series. Whether it’s a sword or a crossbow, each choice comes with a different set of abilities to consider. [h3][b]The Sword Astra[/b][/h3] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40723431/a42c4079997a1b7c0a98996aa1eafce1cb4830c2.gif[/img] What true hero could do without a sword? The sword Astra is associated with Fire Affinity and is the can-opening, hard-hitting, damage-dealing member of the DIVOS family. Aside from inherent shield-destroying properties, with a proper build, the sword may also slay enemies with a single blow. Curious to see the full potential of this Astra? Surprise! You will be able to try it out yourselves soon in the upcoming Steam playtest for the first time ever here. [h3][b]The Fists Astra[/b][/h3] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40723431/0f676c7baa49c49012937a3ac320df0fe5600b89.gif[/img] This graceful weapon represents the Ice Affinity. Befitting its status as the most agile of Astras, it grants the ability to tap into a diverse array of Boons and Banes centered around manipulating time and movement on the battlefield. Sure, you might think that a set of knuckles may lack range - not so with the DIVOS! As a weapon of pure energy, it allows Ezekiel to transcend the annoying limitations of flesh and perform attacks from an unexpected distance. [h3][b]The Spear Astra[/b][/h3] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40723431/0c0f95fd0a09b6ee293e2703ad7276cca6418a37.gif[/img] In another life, this Astra would have been a mage. Whereas the sword focuses on blunt killing power, the Electric spear revolves around employing the vast and mysterious forces behind Arts. With an appropriate Art for every occasion, this versatile Astra is a great choice for anyone who values a subtler approach to smiting. [h3][b]The Hammer Astra[/b][/h3] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40723431/fe365762fd5921e1faabeac02ebdd1de555412e3.gif[/img] It’s hammer time! As the quintessential paladin weapon, the hammer specializes in prolonged engagements - healing, defense, and enduring damage. Rocking (if you pardon the pun) the Earth Affinity for the glory of Sheol, this Astra proves that defense is the best offense. [h3][b]The Crossbow Astra[/b][/h3] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40723431/684260621eabd5772f2cb754432539f50f0584ea.gif[/img] The one gun in a knife fight, the crossbow adds a dash of roguish flair to a humble Bishop. With a generous attack range, a number of unique utility tools, and a plethora of ways to exploit enemy weaknesses, the crossbow is all about battlefield control. Oh, and it comes with a nice and thematic Wind Affinity, too. That would be all for today! We hope you enjoyed this brief introduction to the Bishops’ arsenal, and we can’t wait to see you swinging the sword Astra very soon! We're immensely excited for you to walk down the streets of Antioch in the upcoming playtest, and experience the world of SacriFire firsthand here on Steam.
