3.8.0 Battlepass

Hello, Valorians! We are super excited for this update to finally be here. This is quite a large addition.

This is the first look at the battle pass by Sebafra, which we're super happy to present to you. The hope with this system is it will help beginners progress with rewards and "things to do" while offering still respectable rewards for Veterans. It introduces its mission system and is a very large and thorough system, so make sure to check out its FAQ here.

We'll start with some light housekeeping. As you can see, there is a new home screen. Congrats to Shmitty for winning the Valor Background competition it looks awesome.

Battle Pass

Valor Battle Pass
Thanks to BQ and Ohwy for sprites, Seb for coding

Similar to how other battle passes work, but basically you complete your missions and gain XP from level 1 to 100 with every level giving rewards. Some special ones at special milestones. Much more info can be found in the Battle pass FAQ link below.

Balance Changes

Once again we have a couple balance changes in terms of weapons, aspects, and effects.

  • Mercy of Yazanahar: Passive buff is now flat, and is not affected by effects such as damaging. (Could get over a 30% boost when using certain effects, now will not go over 15% anymore.)
  • Alliance Effect nerfed from 80% RoF to 60% RoF.
  • Curse Effect nerfed from 30% to 20%.
  • Aspect of Vamps rework.
