Some guardian attacks fill the whole screen. Until now the only answer was to out-level them. Build 283 gives you somewhere to hide.
What's new
- Take cover. When a guardian winds up a screen-wide attack, cover rises between it and your crew. Tuck in behind a piece and its shadow keeps you safe.
- Every guardian has its own look. Khionar raises ice pillars, Morthul obsidian slabs with lava in the cracks, Noctaris torn plates of his own hull, Gravemarch's battery hazard-striped blast shields, Enxio shards of his cube. One, Skarn, Ashkara, Umbra Maw and Veyrath have their own pieces too.
- It blocks bullets too. Enemy rounds stop on cover, and your own shots fly over it.
- It won't last forever. Each piece wears down as it takes hits, so keep moving between them.
Boss adjustments
- Screen-wide moves can now be dodged. One's spin and charge, Skarn's Supernova, Khionar's snowstorm and meteors, Noctaris's Abyssal Maw, Morthul's inferno, the battery's crossfire, railgun and siege lance, Enxio's True Sight, Ashkara's carrier eye, Umbra Maw's whirlpool slam and Veyrath's laser all raise cover first. The damage is unchanged, so it pays to read the move and get behind something.
Update to build 283 and find some cover. Good hunting, pilots!
