Still waiting for Ship of Heroes character creation tool beta? We are too! That’s still coming, according to the game’s latest post, and the next entry will indeed focus on that beta. In the meantime, however, Heroic Games is showing off more of the work on its powersets, specifically props for the more techy sets.
“The upcoming CCT Beta is our main focus right now, but we also have people building other parts of the game in the background,” the studio says. “Today we want to show you the latest work from our prop artists, with a special shout out to Steven Zhu. These assets will be used in the Military Weapons power set, which is a primary set for Devastators and a secondary set for support characters, and the powerset is interesting as well.”
“Every offensive powerset is better than the others in specific situations. Powers in the Military Weapons power set intentionally create a lot of noise, heat, and flashes of light from explosions to suppress and distract a hero’s enemies from returning fire effectively. This suppresses the targets, with the mechanical effect of reducing their accuracy and damage. Explosives offer a decent amount of area-of-effect damage, while rifles are single-target weapons meant for things like giant monsters. Military Weapons heroes are good in all kinds of tough team fights and as solo operatives, but they’re not ideal for easier battles, where reducing incoming damage isn’t as important as just killing the enemies faster. These powers are often paired with healing or defensive buff sets, which benefit from similar playstyles.”
