Abyssal Tier Updates

Coming alongside the Abyssal Tier will be some planned changes to the Tier’s waves of releases and an update to the Breeding requirements.

Release Plan

The Abyssal Tier will consist of 9 Dragons in total - 6 Legendaries and 3 Mythics. The Tier is planned to release in 3 waves of 3 Dragons each, beginning with the first wave of 3 Legendary Dragons releasing this week. This means that the next time Abyssal Dragons are released will be the second wave of 3 Legendary Dragons, and the final wave of 3 Mythic Dragons will follow afterwards.

Tier-Based Discounting

Releasing simultaneously with the first Abyssal Dragons, Tier-Based Discounting will continue as it is applied to the Vanguard Tier!  Just like in previous Tier-Based Discounting rollouts, the amount of food and experience needed to level up Dragons and the time needed for incubation will be reduced along with the Token requirement discounts. However, the eggs and time required for research will not be reduced in this iteration of Tier-Based Discounting.

The following discounts will go into effect:

The embodiment of entropy and rot.

The last time Cordys was sighted was so long ago that they have passed into fable and faded into legend. Some parents in the Wailing Marshes will shake a finger at giggling children and tell them, “Clean off that mold or the Mushroom Dragon will come for you!” Even this faint memory falls more out of favor as each year passes. Unbeknownst to those who merely believe the dragon legend, Cordys indeed walks (or trudges) across the world again, and they have grown strong from centuries of rotting sleep.

There is no cooldown if Vanish is canceled by a Blue Mage Tower or the duration expires.</p>
  	</li>
  </ul>
  </li>
  

Oculex is a self-sufficient Hunter who brings its own disabling, healing, and destructive power. Oculex relies on careful use of Entrap to enable its two other spells. The Dragon can open an attack with Entrap, aiming to disable the Red Mage Tower and another threat. Oculex can then follow up by casting Lightning Surge on the Red Mage Tower. This will destroy the tower and several others, while also allowing more casts of Lightning Surge. Hopefully, the bouncing lightning bolt will take down any Blue Mage Towers as well, as Oculex relies on Bloodfury and Vanish to fuel its spell casting and preserve its health pool.

Certain battles with Oculex will certainly go better than others, as Oculex’s Lightning Surge won’t consistently hit the same targets beyond the first. Sometimes, the lightning will bounce perfectly. Other times, it may not hit where you want. Fortunately, the Dragon can generate plenty of Rage for multiple spell casts, and Entrap can always be used to precisely disable what you want, when you want.

Famine Wyrm

These ravenous beasts arrive in swarms, devouring everything in their path.

Decades ago, the druids of the Twilight Woodlands welcomed Orthoptars into their mysterious, endless forests. ‘Another dragon to fit into the beautiful cycle of nature’, they thought. Unfortunately, the woodlands were lush and bountiful, so the Orthoptars fed and fed as more and more arrived. In recent years, their swarms have diminished to the point where they are now a rare sight. Travelers whisper that the Twilight Woodlands’ ancient powers altered the landscape to fit these ravenous dragons back into the natural order.
