#gameplay The Battlecry feature in our game is a powerful tool that allows players to harness the power of words and magic to gain an advantage in combat.
The feature is unlocked at Level 8, and is unlocked through a quest given by a Wizard NPC. Players can use the Battlecry feature by equipping 3 different spell words (trigger, effect, and duration) in the battlecry section of their inventory.
These spell words are of type:
- Trigger: This spell word determines what triggers the battlecry to activate. The trigger spellword contains variables, for example "On 3 Hits" (3 is the variable), instead of "On Hit".
- Effect: This spell word determines the effect of the battlecry when it is activated. The trigger spellword contains variables, Examples of effect words include "Heal for 20 HP", "Increase Damage by 10%", "Reduce cooldowns by 5s", etc.
- Duration: Static. 1 - 15s. Unlocked by default, non-lootable as there is only 1 spellword of this type.
Spellwords are PERMANENTLY unlocked by reading "Word Fragments", all word fragments are targetted (only drop from specific source).
Each spellword has a "Willpower Cost", and the player starts with 15 willpower. The potent a spell is, the higher its willpower cost. Player can increase their willpower by through exploratory interactions such as "meditating at a shrine", "sitting on a vantage point", "drinking from a mystical well", etc
When the player sockets the spellword into the battlecry, they can choose how much willpower it should strain.
For Example: Spellword: +15% damage. {min: 5, max: 15} When the player sockets this spellword, they can increase or decrease the potency of this spellword. If they set potency to 5, it costs them 5 willpower, if they set it to 15, it costs them 15.
When a player has all three spell words equipped, they can trigger the battlecry by using a hotkey. For example, if the player has a battlecry with the trigger word called "Fus" On 3 hits, the effect word "Ro" +10% damage, and finally "Dah" 5s duration, the player can trigger the battlecry by getting hit 3 times, and the battlecry will increase players damage by 10% for 5 seconds. ALL BATTLECRIES HAVE A COOLDOWN OF 5s.
