New map: Shackling Prison. New enemy type: Borisin.
At least 3 Xianzhou ships participating: Luofu, Zhuming, Yaoqing. There will be in 3 Arbiter Generals in attendance.
Officially, the purpose of the tournament is for morale, but there's also hints of political and other issues going on the background. There's gonna be (no longer) surprise attacks of course. Also, the Sword Champion title isn't up as the prize.
March is learning swordsmanship under Yunli (representing Zhuming). Jing Yuan seems to be trying to matchmake Yanqing and Yunli, lol. (Yunli's sword looks a lot like Dusk from GW2, heh.)
Jiaoqiu likes spicy food, but Yunli can't seem to handle the spice. Jing Yuan likes coriander, though Jiaoqiu can't stand it.
Chinese version. Note, the CN version seems to be mainly with the VA's as the VAs after the initial trailer, while the Eng version seems to have all the VAs mostly in character for the full clip.
Based on feedback of Jiaoqiu's current kit...yeah, probably not going to pull for him.
I mean, his lore is healer but they make him pure DoT/debuff in gameplay and removed the healing/debuff part of his kit, just...eh. Not sure if I want to pull for Sparkle instead (+ Guinaifen), since it would be nice to have her but maybe not a must-have.
BTW, the likely end boss of the patch, from the trailer, is likely the Borisin former leader Hoolay. (IIRC the Borisins might be based on the Mongols?) ( Read more... )
EDIT: Recent Xianzhou lore...
