Sure thing, let’s dive in.
So, just a few days away, right? August 7th. That’s when The First Descendant Breakthrough update hits. Super pumped for all you folks waiting for this. Seriously, your backing keeps the gears turning.
Alright, Xbox buddies, listen up. I’m here to spill the beans on the new season’s goodies. It’s nice to chat about what’s coming down the pipe.
Breakthrough’s Whirlwind of a Story
Get this: Karel—remember him? The big bad commander of the Vulgus—is finally at center stage. Things are going haywire after he fires up the “Iron Heart.” Dimensional craziness is popping up in Ingris, and weird things are happening at Axion Plains near Albion. And no, I’m not just talking about the usual headaches. Grotesque, nasty Legion of Breach and Mutants are roaming around. Plus, a Dimensional Wall appears, bringing in Colossus. It’s nuts. Why Karel’s doing all this? What’s he really after with the Iron Heart? You’ll find out in Breakthrough. I swear, it’s a wild ride.
Axion Plains: The Battlefield
Picture a massive field. Huge, right? That’s Axion Plains for you, central to all the action. There’s a whole batch of new monsters waiting to give you a run for your money.
Watch out for the Legion of Breach. These baddies are crafty, like they adapt based on the elemental attacks you throw at them. Why? Because of the Breach Swarm Sac thing—they study Descendants’ elements and adjust accordingly. Want to reset these guys? You’re gonna have to destroy those Sacs or Swarm Tunnels. And then there are the Assault Ships dropping enemies mid-battle. Handle them with specific skills or weapons. Sounds easy, right?
Hop on a Hover Bike
Ever needed to zoom around fast? Enter the Hover Bike. It’s all about getting across those Axion Fields without breaking a sweat. Three types to choose from: Basic, Speed, Balance. Customize ’em too—with skins and future attachments. A hoverbike that feels like it’s really yours? Check.
Wall Crasher: A Battle for Eight
So, one cool thing in Axion Plains? This ginormous enemy called the Wall Crasher. Big, dude. Shows up when a Colossus Guided Device says so. Kind of feels like a hurricane’s gonna hit when he arrives.
In these special eight-player battles, you’ll be dodging and weaving—Wall Crasher smashes everything in sight. Its movements? Slow but powerful. Watch for patterns, folks! Got a Descendant like Ajax? Their defensive moves are golden in these fights. Helps keep the team safe while the rest dish out damage.
Nell Joins the Team
Say hello to Nell, the new Descendant. Used to hang out with Alpha at Albion HQ. Now, she’s got a fresh look and skills. Think sci-fi, telekinetic powers. Controlling battles is her thing, and it’s as epic as it sounds. Really, feels like a scene from a movie.
NieR:Automata Crossover Madness
First-ever crossover here, and it’s a biggie—NieR:Automata is in the house. Characters 2B and A2 join as skins, along with extras like Pod, Virtuous Contract, and Type-4O Sword. It’s like playing in two worlds at once. The crossover’s got emotes too, to really bring NieR vibes into The First Descendant.
Hope this little chat got your excitement levels up. August 7th, be ready to dive in. See you on the digital battlefield!
