Your guide to the (other) gameplay changes in 20.2
Obligatory Legal Notice: As part of the Kabam Creator Program we were given the chance to preview the update before it went live which is where the below images were taken.
Whilst I’ve known this information for a fair while I wasn’t allowed to share it until the community had either reached the final goal in the Save Argon! event or the event had ran out of time. Anyway let’s look at the other new stuff that was also in the update.
Malady
Malady1 the Seer is the new permanent champion for our rosters and requires Merchant Level 40 to unlock. All the petrified coins we’ve been obtaining are actually Malady coins and will be converted into them.
Malady’s champion skill is incredibly cool – she’s able to loot enchants as bonus loot (like how Polonia/Tamas/Reinhold have bonus loot), along with buffing the teams Attack/Crit Chance/Evasion:
Seer’s Sight (Rank 1)
+10% Attack, +5% Evasion and +3% Critical Chance for the party.
Earn a few enchantments as bonus loot IF she survives.
Sightless Eye (Rank 4)
+15% Attack, +10% Evasion and +5% Critical Chance for the party.
Earn some enchantments as bonus loot IF she survives.
Fate’s Hand (Rank 7)
+20% Attack, +10% Evasion and +8% Critical Chance for the party.
Earn some enchantments as bonus loot IF she survives.
The Truth Beyond (Rank 11)
+30% Attack, +15% Evasion and +10% Critical Chance for the party.
Earn lots of enchantments as bonus loot IF she survives.
The text in bold is text I added myself. It has been confirmed by the devs this is intended (that she has to survive) and her text will be updated in future to reflect this.
The tier of the enchants is based on the quest area and difficulty. If you’re looking for tier 14 enchants you need to be running either Elysium Extreme or any of the Ancient Jungle difficulties to reliably pull them from what I saw so far.
I’m not certain what the max is on the quantity she can steal – didn’t get her to max rank on the preview build however at an educated guess, given that she stole 5 at rank 4 and 7 at rank 7 we’re looking at around 10 at rank 11 (these numbers are based on her T14 steals, might be higher for lower tiers.)
She also has a collection card – it’s identical to the other champion ones and it does have some really great art:
Malady’s Arrival Content Pass
Malady also comes with a new content pass.
First up, the new blueprints:
And then the reward track (the amount of Malady coins will be increased so you can recruit her with these & the coins from the Save Argon! event)
And finally the tasks
Okay and that about covers it for 20.2 for real this time2. Go forth and loot enchants with Malady, the not-related-at-all-to-Ismael champion!
