Hello Everyone,

After Bloodstorm and Bloodstorm: Part II, Wolcen: Arise is the third content patch for Chronicle1: Bloodtrail.

This content patch brings:

• The Summons Revamp,
• New environments,
• New skills’ damage type variations,
• A New Cosmetic Armor,
• Quality of Life improvements,
• Bug fixing,

We worked on massive changes to how summons look, behave, and feel.

If you want more details on what we planned for our next content patches, feel free to check our June’s Monthly Development Update.

Here are the full Patch Notes for Wolcen: Arise.

Thank you again for your support.

• Complete cosmetic revamp - Models, animations and visual effects entirely redone for all the summons and every damage type variant.

Feeding Swarm:

Hunting Swarm:

Livor Mortis:

• Auto-respawn

As long as the skill is equipped, your summons will respawn automatically every 2 seconds for Feeding Swarm and Hunting Swarm, and 5 seconds for Livor Mortis, until you have your maximum number of summons alive.

• Teleportation

Pressing a summon’s keybind now causes all your associated summons to teleport and launch a coordinated attack at the cursor’s location.

Feeding Swarm:

Hunting Swarm:

• Summons’ power now scale with your character

Summons dealing Physical, Rend or Toxic damage will gain bonus damage from your %material damage. If you change their damage type to Frost, Fire or Lightning, they will benefit from your %elemental damage, and so on.

Hunting Swarm summons now benefit from your additional projectiles, your %projectile damage…

Note : Scaling being a matter of balancing, we will use your feedback on the current state of the summons in order to fine-tune how they scale with which affixes, thus, we will keep working on balancing the summons in the upcoming content patches. To help you theorycraft and make relevant builds, here is a list of what the summons do currently scale with.

• Weapon Damage
• Total Attributes Bonus Damage
• Ailment Damage
• Skill’s Flat Damage (Gems, XX damage on spells..)
• Skill’s %Damage (%damage, %spell damage, %projectile damage…)
• Skill’s %Damage Type (%material/elemental/occult damage)
• Projectile Count

• Tooltip and damage clarification

The average damage of your summons now appears on the skills’ tooltips. Every Modifier has been clarified to indicate the % of increased damage it gives.

It is also now possible to toggle on and off the summon’s damage on screen.
