Glyph Perk System: A Deep Dive & Graphical Update

Get ready to dive deeper into the world of Glyphs! We’ve revamped our perk system with fresh visuals and enhanced descriptions.

What’s new?

• Each Glyph now has its unique icon matching its specific ability.
• Hand-designed icons are made to be easily recognizable.
• Icons more closely represent the category and purpose of each upgrade.

How does our perk system work?

Application categorizes Glyphs into five types:

• Are you an offensive powerhouse? Unleash devastating attacks with Offensive Glyphs.
• Prefer a defensive stance? Defensive Glyphs provide protective bonuses, such as reducing damage received from dangerous traps scattered throughout the depths of Aaru.
• Want a versatile arsenal? Utility Glyphs offer a wide array of abilities, from combat rewards after successful parries to lightning attacks jumping between enemies activated by well-performed combos.
• Looking to strike it rich? Increase your chances of finding valuable treasures or larger quantities of them or gain a chance to receive bonus rewards for your spent currency with Riches Glyphs!
• Ready to bend time to your will? Time Altering Glyphs enhance your ability to Bend Time, for example enabling you to unleash a powerful shockwave when this unique ability is activated.

Risk divides Glyphs into three tiers, but remember, every choice comes with a downfall. Stat-based Glyphs offer subtle enhancements, while Gameplay Altering Glyphs unlock new abilities or evolve existing ones. Dare to take higher risk? Two-edged Glyphs provide powerful benefits but also come with drawbacks.

• Stat-based: These Glyphs provide passive, low-risk enhancements, subtly boosting your abilities in the background - like increasing your chance to deal critical damage or heightening your stamina recovery.
• Gameplay altering: These Glyphs unlock new abilities or evolve existing ones. As a result, they carry a moderate risk as your skill level will determine how effectively you can harness these enhancements.
• Two-edged: These Glyphs offer high-risk, high-reward perks. They significantly boost your character in one aspect but also make you weaker in another. For example, with a curse of Seth, your attacks will gain immense power, but you’ll need to engage in constant combat or you start losing your health.

Choose wisely and tailor your Glyph loadout to fit your playstyle!
