4.6.0 XMAS Event & Templar Rework

4.6.0 XMAS Event & Templar Rework

Hey, we are happy to bring our mid month update as promised. With this will be the beginning of our xmas event, and long awaited Templar rework of which we are happy to bring to everyone. As well as some community suggested changes and fixes. This is the third Holiday Season we've celebrated together now, and we'd just like to say thanks for everything. The Community has always been super supportive, and we're looking towards an awesome 2023.

The Discord clean up, as well as other ways to make Valor more "new player friendly" and a little less daunting are some of our Moderation Goals for early 2023.

Staff Promotion & Changes.

We are pleased to announce the promotion for Waterfiend to Sr Mod. This is IWBU's first major contribution, and we're super happy to be getting him more involved. If you see him around, make sure to say Hi. Unforunately due to real life obligations, Bruhh will be departing the team.

Rewards such as all the reskins currently dropping including a reskin anatis and quack staves.

12 Days Of Xmas

For the next twelve days, check back everyday for a new mission in the "Special Tab" of the Battle Pass. Completing these missions will reward an in-game reward, and a premium reward.

Each day a new quest will unlock, so make sure to check back. Once a quest unlocks, they will be available until the 31st.

The required present cap may be adjusted if we feel it's too low or too high, and is something we can do without restarting the server.

Templar Rework

We were aware of all the bugs from our first testing session for the templar rework. Took in some feedback and made some changes, but we are pleased to finally bring another class rework. Especially to a class that has become underplayed over the years. This new addition of a charging mechanic, was to bring out some more utility, support and damage into the mix. We are looking forward to your thoughts and we welcome all constructive feedback. Your charge dmg will scale by speed and vitality, and will gain an invulnerable while charging as well as a 2s invincible upon reaching the banner.

Note: Tooltips with the dmg reduction are old, its invuln instead now.
