Trove Revamps Shadow Hunter Class And Tweaks Combat Health And Damage

Trove has just received a massive update on PC, dubbed Shadowy Spotlight, featuring a much-neeed revamp of the Shadow Hunter class. The long-range, bow-wielding class is now equipped with a whole new set of skills to help him make quick work of his enemies as Gamigo explained in detail in the official patch notes:

“When going into a revamp for this class we wanted to keep the core concept of the class focusing on single target basic attacks while adding new tools to assist this playstyle,” said Gamigo.

“We have removed Radiant Arrow and replaced it with Shadow Seekers. Shadow Seekers uses a new resource called Seekers that are gained from basic attacking Shadow Marked targets. The Shadow Hunter now deals increased damage to Shadow Marked targets and Sun Snare now applies Shadow Mark to enemies damaged by it.”

“Additionally, we have implemented a new ultimate called Sacred Arrow which fires a large arrow, applying a damage over time effect to any targets hit by it. Holding down the ultimate button will continuously fire these arrows until the Shadow Hunter runs out of energy. Sacred Arrow’s damage over time effect can stack multiple times,” they added.

Aside from bringing the Shadow Hunter back into the meta, the devs also made significant changes to the game’s combat system, particularly with regard to health and damage. “No longer will bosses be limited to a mere 2 billion health,” announced the devs.

The developers also tweaked all other classes and added the new temporary styles system. Details can be found in the full patch notes on the Trove official site.
