Waven Update Version 0.14 and New December 19 Content Explained

The beauty of early access is the relationship it inherently builds between developers and consumers, as the former works closely with its community to build the game they both have the vision for. That’s certainly the case for Waven, an early access free-to-play RPG available on Steam and currently in soft launch in some countries on Mobile. The game, its developer Ankama Studio, and its community are working toward a full launch sometime early next year.

This symbiotic relationship has clearly paid off for Waven. On Steam, the title boasts over 3600 Very Positive reviews, with 350+ of those being recent. Now, Ankama Studio has released Update Version 0.14, and it’s immediately clear why. Not only are the balance tweaks extensive with clear goals and communication about every Waven hero, but there are plenty of exciting features and new content in it, with more to come on December 19.

Waven‘s story mode prologue is officially added to the game, alongside a new UI to manage the various quests within the game. Developer Ankama Studio tells Game Rant during a recent roundtable that the story will continue to develop over the next year or so, with the studio expecting a content update to take place every four months or so. It also adds a new island nation, Amakna, as well as a few quests there and on other islands. Perhaps one of the most exciting elements of this update is the separation of PvP and PvE, meaning the two different gameplay styles are now able to be balanced regardless of the other.

Key Features for Waven’s Latest and Upcoming Updates

• Story Mode (AVAILABLE NOW)
  • A new interface is available via the Book icon in the main menu: Story Mode allows you to follow the main narrative of the game. This first part of the story constitutes its prologue and is made up of 40 Quests, including those of Tristepin and Ogrest.
• Amakna (AVAILABLE NOW)
  • The Island Nation of Amakna is available. Access to it is unlocked for 250 PQ in the Monster Islands of the Nation.
  • 15 new side quests are offered.
  • More than 300 Achievements have been added to the Logbook in the Amakna section.
  • Brakmar
    • 2 new quests added to the island nation.
    • New Achievements.
  • Bonta
    • 2 new quests are added to the Island Nation.
    • New achievements.

• Free Access Chat w/ Moderation (AVAILABLE NOW)
• Details of the Albuera Chapter of Lance Dur Coming December 19
• New Hero (December 19)
  • The new Iop hero Astramantis will be available as a preview in the Premium Battle Pass.
• New Gold Pass and Platinum Pass Content (December 19)
• The Seasonal Portal Opens, Battle Against Lance Dur (December 19)
• SVOD Access for Lance Dur animated series via Ankama Launch (December 19)
• Island of Albuera (Beginning of January)

Another big addition, coming on December 19, is the new heavy-hitting warrior Iop hero Astramantis, making this the 26th available character in the game. Astramantis can teleport within enemy range and blast them, adding +50% to the damage dealt. For now, Astramantis will be available via the Platinum Pass but will become available for all after one season; the devs described this as a “preview” of the hero for those who purchase the pass. However, they also noted that it was important for all players, since it is a free-to-play game, to get the character via some means eventually. A month, give or take, is a good amount of time for this.

Ultimately, these new Waven features alone are enough to carry a major content update, but that’s clearly not all. There’s plenty more content in this update, more coming in December, and more set for January and beyond as well.

CRÂ

• Bunelblade

      • New effect: When one of your companions attacks an opponent: Summons a Nocturian on a square adjacent to the target.

  • New effect: START OF FIGHT: Grants PHASE SHIFT to your hero. When you pass through an opponent: Deals 10 damage.

  • Damage inflicted: 120% ATTACK instead of 110%

XELOR

• Developer notes: Many questions arise around the heroes of the Xélor class, particularly regarding their uses of Sinistros and their evolutions. We don’t want to make these mechanics capable of tanking fights, that would instantly make them too powerful, but we would like the impact of their evolutions to match their difficulty of use. So :
• Evolved sinisters must benefit from effects upon appearance.
• Evolved sinisters must gain power.
• General
  • Sinistro Transformation effects now count as an Apparition for linked effects.
  • Evolved Sinistros
  • Base armor: 2.5 times the armor of a normal sinister instead of 3.

  • New effect: When your hero ATTACKS: Triggers PEAT (11).
  • Aether Spell: Cog
  • Damage inflicted: 150% of SHIELDING instead of 200%.
• Pikuxala Needle
  • Developer Notes: His current design is rather complex since the hero must use his mobility, particularly for defensive purposes, to constitute his main means of being offensive. As a result, this hero swings delicately between the label “Little Viable” to “Overpowered”. Since its gameplay was trending towards a less enjoyable experience, we’re getting a temporary power boost. However, our long-term intention is to make more substantial changes that will make it better balanced and interesting.
  • Basic passive
  • Damage inflicted: 45% ATTACK instead of 35%.
  • Heroic Skill: Pikuxala Mastery
  • Damage inflicted: 40% ATTACK instead of 30%.

  • Developer notes: With the change to Sinistros transformations and their evolutions, we are drastically reducing this skill to limit abuse.
• Regulating Gurpapa
  • Developer Notes: The hero requires a slight refinement to its operation. Although its design relies entirely on Sinistros, it does not benefit from evolved Sinistros. A new passive is introduced to reflect this idea. The Support passive is redesigned to encourage a more balanced approach, eliminating the need for players to place Sinistros in a corner and then deal massive damage in one turn.
  • Basic passive
  • Damage inflicted: 65% ATTACK instead of 60%.
  • Heroic Skill: Gurpapa Mastery
  • Damage inflicted: 55% ATTACK instead of 50%.

  • When you evolve a SINISTRO: Draw your next SINISTRO spell.

  • Heroic Skill: Jikan Application
  • The application of the elemental state is done to surrounding enemies instead of adjacent enemies.
  • Heroic Skill: Jikan Attack becomes Jikan Catalyst
  • New effect: When you consume a state: Triggers the corresponding QUINTESSENCE effect.

  • Heroic Skill: Jikan Power becomes Jikan Reaction
  • ADDED: When you apply ASTRAL, the SHADOW effect will be triggered.
• Tako Synchronizer
  • Developer Notes: The hero has an interesting style, but his current effectiveness is considered insufficient. To remedy this, we are introducing a global bonus to its gameplay. We may consider further design adjustments in the future, if necessary to further optimize its performance.
  • Heroic Skill: Tako Concentration
  • ADDED: +5% to spell damage per ACTION POINT consumed.
  • Heroic Skill: Tako Destruction

  • Aether Spell: Tako Reserve
    • Increased damage of the next spell per ACTION POINT in reserve: 20% instead of 15%.

OBJECTS

• Developer Notes: Among the gear adjustments, we are paying special attention to Infinite rarity items. Although their effects are promising, they often turn out to be too low in terms of values ​​or require minor improvement in their operation. For now, Albuera’s items and spells remain unchanged overall, and we will return to them in a future rebalance.
• RINGS
  • Blood Orb – New effect: Inflicts 100 DAMAGE and grants +5% DRAIN to your hero. Mourning: +5% Drain your hero.
    • THEFT OF LIFE – When one of your characters is healed: -5 ACTION POINTS to the cost of this spell.

  • Devy
    • New skill: +3% to CRITICAL HIT chance of spells.
    • New skill: +10% LIFE for your hero.

Developer Notes: “Affinity” rings introduce a particularly interesting multi-element playstyle. However, we want to explore a new perspective: the possibility of playing with multiple affinities, thus creating damage synergy.

• Angry
  • Additional base armor: 60% instead of 75%
  • Additional skill armor: 40% instead of 75%.

• Developer Notes: ​​​​​​​Due to the improvement to Evolved Sinistros, we have made the proactive decision to modify the Raging Ring. This measure is intended to prevent any potential abuse in terms of Armor and Gear damage. We thus seek to maintain an optimal balance in the gameplay and to ensure a coherent gaming experience.
• The description of the Asis, Blong, Fusque and Péra rings now has a gauge counter.

• Limit
  • The description of the ring is adjusted to better match its behavior.
  • START OF FIGHT: Increases the DAMAGE of your spells by a random element by +25% until the end of the turn.
  • START OF TURN: Change element.
  • The increased element changes each turn in the following order: FIRE – AIR – EARTH – WATER
  • The description of his specific skill has been adjusted.
  • +25% to DAMAGE from your augmented element spells.
  • Developer Notes: The Limit Ring offers an interesting approach, however, its description was confusing as to how it worked. With this in mind, we have modified and clarified the description, in addition to adding visual effects below the character to allow clearer tracking of the augmented element in progress.

BRACES

• Serpento – Poisoned Effect
  • Damage inflicted: 35% of the target’s ATTACK instead of 25%.

We are also making a change to companions that work with Explosions/Peats/Hail/Rebons by increasing the bonus value on attack, but simultaneously reducing the values ​​related to critical hits.
• Remington Smisse
  • Smisse Bombs no longer destroy themselves at the end of the turn.
  • The power of Smisse Bombs is adjusted according to the Krosmic rarity of Remington Smisse.

  • Increased REBOUND with a CRITICAL: +150% instead of +300%.

• Kaotika
  • The CRITICAL skill now only stuns the target of the attack.
• Zorine
  • The CRITICAL skill now only stuns the target of the attack.
• Percimol
  • The CRITICAL skill now only stuns the target of the attack.

PVE

  • Movement points: 3 instead of 2

  • Number of Pic Orac Auras given when an AIR or WATER spell is played: 2 instead of 5.

PVP

• Balancing of PVP and PVE game modes is now separate.
• Developer Notes: In this version 0.14.0, we separate the balancing of PVE and PVP modes. Two distinguished players from the French PVP community (Akhous and Karzale) collaborated with our teams to implement a first iteration of balancing that meets the community’s expectations. Below, we share an outline of the game design ideas and intentions that guided their work.
• This balancing is focused on the objective of speeding up matches, in response to the progressive increase in the duration of clashes observed over the patches and alpha phases. This extension is largely attributable to the improvement in survivability, particularly notable in the Water and Earth lanes over the last few iterations. As a result, initiative has been taken to reduce the impact of this survivability.
• In alignment with the implementation of the balancing curve, significant adjustments are made in various contexts:
  • AoE damage is generally increased to compensate for low enemy numbers in PVP.
  • Heroes whose passive relies on healing or armor mechanics have their base health points reduced. In return, their attacks are increased to better reward their aggressiveness.
  • The emphasis is placed on strengthening the identity specific to each class. For example, a Cra will inflict more damage than a ranged Iop, while the latter will outperform the Cra during a melee exchange of blows.
  • The ability to inflict significant damage and healing is restricted to prevent heroes from being able to achieve astronomical amounts without preparation.
  • The draw mechanics are re-examined to avoid becoming dominant or too advantageous.
  • Efforts were made to reduce situations where the number of entities on the ground was excessive, in order to maintain field clarity.
  • Along the same lines, many spell and effect values ​​are converted to fixed values ​​rather than stat percentages.
  • As a result, adjustments have been made to mitigate certain types of effects on the different element paths (healing, placement, draw, AP gain, etc.), thus favoring the emergence of new mechanics and styles of play.
  • This phase Balance Lays the foundation for the future of PVP, with the likelihood of further adjustments in future updates. These adjustments aim to improve the gaming experience in this mode by creating an environment that is as competitive as it is fun.
  • The kamas reward after completing a fight increases to 3,000 instead of 30.
• Cra
  • The class’s Distance identity is strengthened, and some spells are adjusted to make them more interesting in PVP mode.
• Eniripsa
  • The class, focused on support and companions, sees the return of gauge gain linked to the consumption of elemental states.
  • ​​​​​​​The cost of Tamashi Amber’s Nocturian spell increases to 2 Action Points.
• Iop
  • To maintain the melee identity of the Iop, several adjustments are made.
  • In the same spirit, the Wind Sword aura will no longer grow back.
• Sram
  • The damage inflicted by traps is reduced since their placement constraint was no longer one.
  • Certain placement spells are now limited to limit abuse of mechanics.
• Xelor
  • The mechanisms are easier to evolve; any mechanism can evolve into an evolved mechanism.
  • Evolved mechanics have a limit to the number of possible activations, thus preventing a potential excess of power if they are placed on the first turn.
• Companions
  • Companions Justice and Hard Lance are temporarily disabled from PVP mode.
