Absolver Weapons and Armor Revealed
Aug. 15, 2017Absolver Weapons and Armor Revealed
Recently we had the good fortune of playing theAbsolver Betaand one of our users, with some handy computer skills, managed to get into the game’s files and find all the images of all theWeaponsandArmorthere. They were then submitted to us and and not only did we manage to get them into the wiki, we’d also like to share them here with everyone. Please keep in mind that these were in the game’s files, of the Beta version, and there may be more coming in the full game, but this is most likely the majority of them.
We’ll start with the weapons of which there are two types:WarglovesandSwords. These items requireShardsin order to use and they can be disarmed through repeated attacks, but do more damage than unarmed combat. Both weapon types deal some Blunt and Cut damage, with the total amount varying from weapon to weapon, but they will fall on a slider that looks like this:
BLUNTCUT
Wargloves can be equipped by the player by using Shards, as mentioned above. Wargloves deal more Blunt damage than Swords usually, but can also deal Cut damage. Players remain using their current combos with Wargloves equipped, while players using Swords have a varied moveset. Below are all the Wargloves found in the game’s code.
Swords also require Shards to use, and it is expected that some Swords will require more than others, depending on their statistics. As with Wargloves, Swords deal both Blunt and Cut damage, but deal more Cut usually, which is the opposite of them. Players’ movesets change when wielding a Sword, so you will have to learn the moves of the Sword you like best. Below are all the Swords found in the game’s code.
Armor in Absolver isn’t just about Protection from Blunt and Cut damage, it’s also about style and appearance (Fashionsolver anyone?). Appearing intimidating to your opponent, or perhaps eccentric base on what you are dawned in, is part of the psychological aspect of the game. Be careful when taking on Absolvers who are wearing something you have never seen before, you just don’t know where, why or how they got it…
Masks covering the entire face are something that is extremely unique to Absolver and one that many players are excited for. It’s not hard to see why either after you’ve looked at them, some of them look badass and others seem like they were designed for those special trolls out there (you know who you are). Masks also provide Protection against Blunt and Cut damage, making them important to withstanding opponents. All of the following were found in the game’s files:
Absolver features “Sets” of gear that have a similar pattern or style to them. It isn’t known if they possess any current bonuses, but each piece has it’s own statistics and resistances. Players are free to mix and match as they see fit and their are no restrictions. Just be careful not to weigh yourself down too much or you’ll move slowly.
