There is exciting news to share, this week, coming straight from Kai, one of the Game Designers on Heroes of History.
We have been busy in recent weeks making plans, and we recently finalized a new feature that allows YOU to power up and even customize your favorite Heroes. This feature is called… drumroll… RELICS!
What are Relics?
Relics are powerful artifacts you’ll likely recognize from history books and legends alike. Usually, they’d belong in a museum, but in Heroes of History, you can assign them to your Heroes so they can benefit from their mighty influence.
Not only do Relics boost Attack and Defense values of your Heroes, but they also add a powerful new trigger or passive effect in battle, which ideally synergizes with the Hero’s own ability or even your entire Hero Team. But each of your Heroes can hold only one Relic, so choose wisely how you want to distribute them.
When are they released?
Relics will be released gradually in future events. They come in different rarities, and the 5-Star relics can only be applied to a specific Hero class—but they offer extra powerful synergies and new strategies for those Heroes!
The first four relics will arrive with the Forge of Vulcan event, at the end of January. They will be the Aquila Standard, the Abacus, The Cornucopia and the Torch of Prometheus. So, make sure to tune in and try out the Relics for yourself.
We plan to regularly add new Relics to the game to allow for interesting new strategies, and we hope you’re as excited about the Relics as we are.
Last but certainly not least, I want to extend a heartfelt thank you from the entire design team for your overwhelming reception of Heroes of History! Your input helps us make the game even better, so make sure you’re reaching out to us (for example, in our Discord) whenever you have feedback or an idea for the game.
Happy mix-n’-matching, and until next time!
– Kai
