(Seasonal, returns each year)

Glacial Warlord Details

Embrace the power of the glacier… and CRUSH YOUR ENEMIES! They will soon know the cold grasp of the grave thanks to the power you wield!

Recommended enhancements: Fighter, Lucky

Stat Model: Tank Melee

Mana Regen: Glacial Warlords gains mana when they...

• Strike an enemy in combat (more effective on crits)
• Are struck by an enemy in combat

Skill Breakdown

Rank 1 Passive: Skull Crusher
Starting at rank 1, all skills can't crit unless Frozen Heart is active.

Powerful Blow
Rank needed: 1 / Auto Attack
Target: Enemy
Max Targets: 1
Type: 175% Physical
Range: Melee
Cooldown: 2.75 seconds

An attack that strikes with full force, but takes longer to build up power.

If Frozen Heart isn't active, applies Cryopathy to your target, reducing their Damage Resistance by 5% for 15 seconds, stacks to 10. 

A slower, but stronger auto attack than most. When Frozen Heart isn't active, this skill stacks a sizable defense debuff on your target. What is Frozen Heart? Well, read just a bit further!

Frozen Heart
Rank needed: 1
Target: Enemy
Max Targets: 1
Type: 150% Physical
Range: Melee
Mana Cost: 10
Cooldown: 2.5 seconds

Toggles Frozen Heart. While active, Frozen Heart reduces your Damage Resistance by 50%, causes all skills to crit, and changes the properties of your other skills. Use again to remove Frozen Heart. Can't miss.

When Glacial Warlord first released in December 2013, it used a mechanic called Frozen Heart, which changed the properties of its skills while it was active. While this was an interesting mechanic, it never felt like it was being utilized to its fullest extent, but that changes today. With this rework, Frozen Heart has become a toggleable skill, meaning that every time it is used, the class switches between one of two states; in this case, a defensive state that aims to keep you alive longer, and an offensive state that aims to increase your damage output! 

Bitter Cold
Rank needed: 2
Target: Enemy
Max Target: 1
Type: 200% Physical 
Range: Melee
Mana Cost: 15
Cooldown: 7 seconds

A chilling attack that freezes your target to the core, stunning them for 1 second. If Frozen Heart isn't active, applies Frigid to your target, reducing their Crit Chance by 20% for 10 seconds.

If Frozen Heart is active, applies Cold Wave to your target, reducing their Dodge by 20%. 

A debuffing skill that also stuns no matter what mode you're in. In your defensive state, you apply a Crit Chance debuff to keep you alive longer, and in offensive state, you apply a Dodge debuff that'll help you land attacks more often.

Glacier Crush
Rank needed: 3
Target: Enemy
Max Targets: 1
Type: 275% Physical
Range: Long
Mana Cost: 25
Cooldown: 12 seconds

Attack with the might of a glacier. If Frozen Heart isn't active, applies Bone Chill to your target, reducing their Haste and outgoing damage by 30% for 15 seconds.

If Frozen Heart is active, applies Frozen Ferocity, increasing your Hit Chance and Haste by 20% for 15 seconds. 

Your most expensive skill, but also your most powerful. While in defensive state, you apply a hefty debuff to your target that increases you and your allies survivability. In offensive state, you get a small Hit Chance and Haste buff that when combined with the Dodge buff from the previous skill, helps you output damage at an even more frequent pace!

Warcry
Rank needed: 5
Target: Friendly
Max Targets: 7
Type: -800% Static Physical
Range: Infinite
Mana Cost: 10 
Cooldown: 14 seconds

An invigorating shout. If Frozen Heart isn't active, heals you and up to 6 allies while applying Warlord's Rally, increasing Crit Chance and Damage Resistance by 25% and reducing mana costs by 50% for 20 seconds. 

If Frozen Heart is active, heals you and applies Warcry, healing you over time and increasing your Crit Damage by 75% for 20 seconds.

A healing and buffing skill that drastically changes depending on whether Frozen Heart is active or not. In your defensive state, this becomes a support focused skill that heals everyone, reduces their damage taken, and reduces the mana cost of their skills. In your offensive state however, this skill only heals you, and provides you with a HoT and an increase to your Crit Damage.

Rank 4 Passive: Heavy Armor Master
Rank needed: 4
Type: Passive

Damage Resistance increased by 50% and Physical Resistance increased by 20%.

Rank 4 Passive: Strong Arm
Rank needed: 4
Type: Passive

Strength increased by 50%.

Rank 1 Passive: Skull Crusher
Rank needed: 1/10
Type: Passive

Starting at rank 1, all skills can't crit unless Frozen Heart is active. At rank 10, if Frozen Heart is active, Powerful Blow applies Skull Crusher, increasing your outgoing damage by 5% for 15 seconds, stacks to 10.

Conclusion

Glacial Warlord's Frozen Heart ability allows it to switch between two states, an offensive state that causes your skills to always crit but makes you more vulnerable to incoming damage, and a defensive state that absorbs incoming damage and can support its party members, but reduces your damage output.

However, while there are two states, Frozen Heart has a short cooldown so you can essentially switch between the two states whenever you want, meaning that the auras you apply in one state can benefit the other. For example, while in defensive state, Powerful Blow applies a defense debuff to your target, but if you switch to offensive state, you can make use of that debuff to deal even more damage!

How you choose to play Glacial Warlord is up to you, but regardless, it should be a formidable force on the frozen battlefield!

2024 Calendar Class: Chrono ShadowSlayer

Unlock the exclusive class when you get the 2024 Calendar

Introducing Chrono ShadowSlayer class, the newest addition to AdventureQuest Worlds! Unlock the class, armor set, and character page badge when you get the 2024 "The Game is Undead" Poster calendar.You can pre-order your 2024 Calendar NOW from HeroMart. A version will be added to the in-game HeroMart map in the later half of 2024 for HeroPoints or AdventureCoins.

Skill Breakdown

Chrono ShadowSlayer class is a fast-firing, time-traveling, monster slaying gunslinger. Its skills revolve around its trusty six-chambered sidearm, loading special rounds to create powerful effects. They can debuff their opponents, increase their own stats, and finish their opponents off with a powerful chronomancy magic silver bullet!

Unlike other classes, they don’t have an autoattack. Instead, you fire empowered shots through your skills or rapid-fire all your rounds at your opponents. However, you must pay attention to your ammo, needing to reload every six shots. You’ll need to manage your effects and your ammunition well to use this class to its full potential.

Description: Recommended enhancements: Lucky, Thief.
Stat Model: Luck Hybrid
Mana Regen: Chrono ShadowSlayers load and fire special ammunition with their firearms.

Fire!

Rank needed: 1 / Default Attack
Target: Enemy
Max Targets: 1
Type: 105% Hybrid as Physical
Range: Medium
Mana Cost: 15
Cooldown: 0.15 seconds

Fire as fast as you can pull the trigger! Your shots are so fast that they're unavoidable. Your cylinder holds 6 shots, needing to be reloaded when empty.

A non-automatic auto attack! This one you have to fire manually, or using your other skills. Depending on the ammunition you load, your shots can have different effects. Or, enter Gunslinger stance and fan the hammer to your heart’s content.

Reload

Rank needed: 1
Target: Self
Cooldown: 6 seconds

Load 6 shots into your revolver and refill your mana. Removes Tracer rounds and FMJ rounds.

If you have 4 or more stacks of Temporal Rift, consume them and enter Gunslinger Stance for 2 seconds, granting you free shots and generating Chaos Rifts, which block Temporal Rift and increase your Crit Damage by 20% per stack for 10 seconds.

Reload your firearm, clearing your loaded rounds and refreshing your mana. This move can punctuate your firing combos, but using it can leave you vulnerable. This skill is also how you enter Chaos Rift mode, which focuses on longer combos and fast-firing.

Tracer Rounds

Rank needed: 2
Target: Enemy
Max Targets: 1
Type: Status
Range: Medium
Mana Cost: 5
Cooldown: 3 seconds

Load Tracers and fire one, increasing your Defense by 20% and Dodge by 40% until you reload. Gain a Temporal Rift, stacking to 4 and lasting 10 seconds, and a HoT for 4 seconds based on max health. Replaces FMJ rounds.

Firing with Tracer rounds Paints your opponent, reducing their damage, Dodge, and Crit Chance by 6% per stack, up to 4 stacks, for 12 seconds.

Tracer rounds are your “defensive” option, allowing you to debuff your opponents and increase your own survivability. Fires a shot when you use it, and comes with a handy heal.

FMJ Rounds

Rank needed: 3
Target: Enemy
Max Targets: 1
Type: 147% Hybrid as Physical
Range: Medium
Mana Cost: 5
Cooldown: 1.5 seconds

Load Full Metal Jackets and fire an empowered shot, dealing additional damage and increasing your Physical Damage by 25% until you reload. Gain a Temporal Rift, stacking to 4 and lasting 10 seconds. Replaces Tracer rounds.

Firing with FMJ rounds shreds your opponent's defense by 6% per stack, up to 6 stacks, for 12 seconds.

FMJ rounds are your “offensive” option, increasing the damage your opponents take and dealing extra damage. Fires an empowered shot when you use it, doing bonus damage on top of the FMJ effect. Use this in conjunction with Tracer rounds to maintain your survivability while slowly expending ammunition.

Silver Bullet

Rank needed: 5
Target: Enemy
Max Targets: 1
Type: 15 - 45% recorded damage as Physical
Range: Long
Mana Cost: 5
Cooldown: 6 seconds

Fire a silver bullet, dealing powerful damage based on how much damage was dealt in the last 10 seconds while a Rift was present and emptying your rounds.

Your grand finale! This can do minor or massive damage depending on how much damage you’ve done while under a Rift aura. This class has two types of Rifts it can generate, in fact- playing around one or the other can allow you to explore different skill combos.

Passives

Reinforced Chamber

Rank needed: 4
Type: Passive

Your high-tech parts allow you to shoot faster and more powerful shots for +10% damage.

Sharpshooter

Rank needed: 4
Type: Passive

You pinpoint critical weaknesses with ease, granting you +10% Crit Chance.

Blessed Ammunition

Rank needed: 10
Type: Passive

+20% Luck.

Conclusion

Chrono ShadowSlayer has a few new mechanics- making it very different from most classes. You can rapid fire your ammo, or carefully fire boosted shots with your third and fourth skills. Don’t panic- you don’t need to break your fingers to play this class well! Slower but more powerful shots with your skills can be just as effective as rapid firing your ammo, letting you pick how you play. Or, switch between them both to make full use of the class’s mechanics.

Chrono ShadowSlayer does what you expect a Calendar class to do- hit fast and hit hard with rift nukes. Unlike other Calendar classes however, it boasts strong effects and powerful base damage, being less reliant on its rift collapses. Your two ammo types let you play defensively or offensively, or mix between them to manage both benefits at once while building your Rifts.

Once you obtain your Temporal Rifts, you can choose to spend them on your finisher right away or enter Gunslinger stance, changing your Rift types and taking on a more vulnerable but more offensive playstyle. Plan your combos carefully, balance between your styles, and you’ll find a very powerful class.

So whether you've been with us for years, or this is the first time you're seeing the Achievement Tracker update, you're in for a treat... NEXT MONTH! The new achievement rewards for 2023 will arrive next month. 

2023 Reward Release Date

The post above is from last month. We haven't given exact dates so we don't miss it and release them late. The rewards will arrive as soon as they're ready... fully ready. That way, we can make sure the heroes unlocking the final reward tier do not have to deal with major issues, missing art, etc.

Current plans are for the confirmed release date to be announced several days before it goes live. That way, we can be confident they will release as planned, with few (to no) issues. but should anything major change, we will post about that in the Design Notes as soon as possible!

Survive Grimskull's Dungeon... AGAIN

Welcome to the Gaol of Eternal Torment and Misery

*GULP* According to the brochure in his gift shop, Grimskull is *ahem* "The master of the world's most evil, vile, death trap filled dungeons. His first "adventure" for you in DoomVault was barely survivable. And now, his high-level dungeon, the GAOL OF ETERNAL TORMENT AND MISERY! is OPEN! Plus, new rewards for all heroes in Doomvault, new Featured Rare sets, and more!

New game release

If you aren't familiar with dungeons, you can read about them here. However, there are some key differences with Grimskull's newest dungeon:

• This is a high level, high difficulty dungeon that's comparable to the final fights of the /infernalarena map.

Today's update shines a light on a different segment of our creative community: the writers! Complete Maya's 3 Greenguard quests to unlock a short story by the talented scribe, AQWorlds hero and writer, Meidrella, featuring Paladins + Necromancers!

These three quests are perfect for low-level heroes first exploring Battleon and Greenguard. Let us know if you want more chapters! If you like the tale so far, additional chapters are possible and would be target higher levels and expand beyond Greenguard.

We've also discussed adding a longer-form version of the in-game tale on the website, for those who would like to read more.

Meidrella has also written a short introduction and dedication she'd like to share with you all:

Pleased to meet you, Heroes. My name is Meidrella, a storyteller / scribble scribe in my young 20s. I’ve always used writing as an escape into worlds of my imagination from the outside world since I was young. Adventure Quest Worlds has been a grand part in the scheme of delving into such worlds, and I am most enthralled to be writing lore for Lore.

Dedication: this particular piece is dedicated to my mom; the real life hero who inspired me to keep writing my stories for years after years. I couldn’t have gotten this far without you.

October 10th || Vampiric Chalices

Countless heroes have fallen in search for these chalices. May their memories live on longer than they did. Battle the Zard in Battleontown to get the Blood-Soaked Note clue; it will guide you to the next step in your hunt for these priceless treasures!

New: Star Rating Difficulty Guide

To help you better gauge the type, length, and difficulty of our mid-week updates, we're adding Star Ratings (like you see on monsters). 

• 1 star: Pretty simple. Most players should be able to finish this with little to no issue. 
• 2 star: Slightly more complex. It might take looking up a clue or two on the wiki, or talking to friends. 
• 3 star: Somewhat complex. These may have a ciper or a multi-step clue to solve. 
• 4 star: Complex. Tough clues, 1 or 2 unique clue locations, and may be level-locked. 
• 5 star: Very complex. Very difficult clues, multiple unique clue locations, will likely require heroes to show/hide the UI, check background art, and may require some monster farming.

Thank you to everyone that has been logging in, enjoying, and sharing your thoughts on the last few months of mid-week treasure hunts and updates. We'll continue to evolve our mid-week updates based on your feedback!
