Update on Jousting
- As ‘jousting’ is currently a strategy for some creatures we wanted to provide an alternative and start expanding players’ and creatures’ reactions in combat.
- The shield allows players to quickly block an attack if there is no time to move or to keep the creature’s focus on you while your co-op players deal the damage.
- With new creatures and behaviors on the way, the shield may come in handy in the coming patches.
- This is just the first shield to be introduced to Icarus but expect more with various skills, stats and modules in future.
