About the game
"It is said the First Men could not comprehend the Voice of the Primordials. All they felt was the rhythm of a deep breath, or a pulse, as if the world itself were alive. Their chants, carried by drums, brought them closer to the heart of the wild." Two new Hunters join the hunt: Zaraya and Drusk. Each brings unique mechanics and playstyles, offering a wide range of new tactics and strategies to experiment with. The Spear Swift in movement, lethal in execution. A single piercing strike is enough to drive a monster’s heart into its fate. Zaraya focuses on maneuvers, mobility, and precision strikes. Her Pierce mechanic lets her unleash devastating blows, but the spear also offers tactical control and defensive options to protect her fellow Hunters. The Wardrum As long as the Wardrum thunders, the blood of hunters burns with fury. Will your chant rise louder than the Voice of the Dragon? Drusk is a unique hunter who drives his companions forward with his powerful rhythm, amplifying their attacks while providing healing and control. The greater the rhythm he builds through his distinctive discard mechanic, the stronger the boosts he grants to his fellow hunters.
