Greetings, adventurers! Combat in Zethrone follows classic rules: one click, one hit. There is no auto-attack, no auto-chase and no autoplay. This update brings a large wave of classic behaviour to both sides of the battlefield.
Your skills
The official skill tree is live for all 20 professions, with real prerequisites, maximum levels and SP costs. You earn one skill point per job level.
Working attack skills include Bash, Magnum Break, Fire, Cold and Lightning Bolt, Napalm Beat, Fire Ball, Frost Diver, Thunder Storm, Envenom, Sand Attack, Soul Strike, Earth Spike and Holy Light, plus second-class favourites such as Pierce, Spear Stab, Bowling Bash, Storm Gust, Lord of Vermilion, Arrow Shower, Charge Arrow, Sonic Blow, Grimtooth, Cart Revolution, Back Stab, Shield Charge, Holy Cross, Acid Terror and Finger Offensive.
Support and utility skills are in as well: Heal, Angelus, Blessing, Increase AGI, Cure, Detoxify, Improve Concentration, Endure, Divine Protection, Demon Bane, Beast Bane, Faith, Skin Tempering, weapon masteries, Discount, Overcharge, Haggle and Dragonology.
Status effects
- Freeze, Stun, Poison, Blind and Stone Curse work against monsters and players.
- Curse, Silence, Sleep, Bleeding, Fear and Hallucination join the fight through monster attacks.
- Every status keeps its classic duration and counters. Cure, Detoxify and a prepared party are your best answers.
Monsters fight back
Monsters now use their classic skills: healing allies, buffing themselves, casting bolts and storms, summoning slaves, breaking equipment and reacting when you attack them.
- Weapon, Armor, Helm and Shield Breakers can damage your gear. A broken piece keeps its cards and refinement but stops working until it is repaired.
- Blacksmith Weapon Repair restores weapons with the official materials.
- MVPs answer with Earthquake and other signature abilities.
Movement
Movement follows the classic 150 ms per cell pace, and Increase AGI makes a real difference. Characters, monsters and pets all move on the same clock.
Ground-targeted skills, stealth and the remaining class skills are on the way.
See you in Midgard!
