Watch, share, and tell us what you think! A very special thanks to everyone involved in its creation and also to you guys who continue to follow us through this journey. We can't really express how much work went into this - not only into the video itself but also into every single game system and art asset that is shown (or heard) in it. Also, it will be used - in part or in whole - in our upcoming Fig.co crowdfunding campaign.

This one is focusing more on delivering a gist of the game's feel and atmosphere than showing off gameplay elements systematically like the first teaser did. Steam Store Page | Game Jolt page | Itch.We are very proud and excited to finally release the second Teaser for Vagrus! In the next - final - part of this guide we are going to cover the movement effects. We hope this was interesting to some of you and even useful for learning the workings of Companion combat in Vagrus. Of course, a lot of buffs, debuffs, temporary and permanent effects, as well as equipment can alter Resistances. They can negate the effects of Skills (for example, with 30% Fire Resistance, the combatant has 30% chance each time a Fire effect - like Burning - would take hold to negate the effect entirely).Įnemies and allies both have really varied Resistance setups, so it often comes to bringing the right fighters against a tough enemy to gain the advantage.They lower the amount of elemental damage from the give type (for example, 30% Fire Resistance will decrease Fire damage by 30%).Each Companion has a set of Resistances that serve two purposes: Each Companion has different Evade and Block chance but because certain Skills are better against one or the other, you often have to change these to adapt to the situation at hand.Īdditionally, the Cover system also modifies these rules in the following way: if another Companion or objects is in front of a back line combatant, Ranged attacks with the Line of Sight property against them receives a flat penalty on Accuracy (making it harder to hit the difficult-to-see enemy in the thick of combat).īeside direct physical damage, combatants can receive, there is a vast number of Effects the Skills may apply on their targets (Stun, Poison, Curse and so on), as well as all kinds of elemental damage (like lightning, fire, magic, and so on). You can only have one active Defense Mode per combatant, either Block or Evade. However, you can still suffer damage while blocking and also suffer adverse effects from an attack, unlike with Evade (see Resistances below). That also means that they may move away from a position that protects another Companion or into a potentially more dangerous position.Ī successful Block (BLC) provides extra Armor against the attack, mitigating more damage. Your defenses (Evade and Block) are the primary means to avoid or mitigate incoming damage.Įvade (EVD) allows you to completely avoid an attack but you will be moved to an adjacent unoccupied position after a successful Evade. Some Skills have additional effects that can reduce or outright ignore Armor, so that also has to be considered. That said, there are a few methods to bring back Downed characters into action but none of these are easy or cheap.Īrmor (ARM) is the stat that mitigates damage: its value is deducted from incoming damage.

Therefore, it behooves the player to protect Downed Companions as best they can. If that, too, is depleted, they are Out of Action, which means long-term wounds and potentially death. They have their Downed Vitality for when they are Downed. When Downed, they can not act (they do not receive their turns) but can be targeted and damaged. When depleted, the Companion falls into a Downed state. Vitality (VIT) is the stat that your fighters lose each time they are hit. Your defenses are your main way to mitigate damage, so understanding how they work is very important. This time, we'll delve into defensive stats and their importance.Ĭompanion combat is cruel in Vagrus and in general you can not heal during it. In the last part of the Combat Guide we took a look at Companion Actions, including moving, Skills, and their combinations.
