MASSIVE CHALICE Early Access Beta Patch 0.90

Hey everyone! We’re back! :D!

Hopefully you had a great holiday break. We’ve got a huge patch lined up for you with the long-awaited Hybrid Classes! Thanks for helping us hammer out these new features and thanks for supporting MASSIVE CHALICE in Early Access! :D!

HYBRID CLASSES
Starting in this patch all heroes now have a Primary Class and a Secondary Class. Your initial batch of heroes are going to be what you’re used to. We call them Pure Classes - Caberjack, Alchemist, Hunter. For the sake of this new system, a Pure Class is a character that has the same Primary and Secondary Class.

Hybrid Classes are created when you marry two heroes together that have different Primary Classes and then they have a kid or adopt. The Regent’s Primary Class becomes the baby hero’s Primary Class and the Partner’s Primary Class becomes the baby’s Secondary class.

For example, marrying a Caberjack Partner to an Alchemist Regent will produce kids that are Brewtalists. The Brewtalists fight very similarly to Alchemists (they use a Thrower and Flasks) but they have a real focus on melee combat and access to concussive Knockback Flasks that can push enemies around and stun them!

The Hybrid Class will use the Primary Class’s armor and weapons. They have a custom skill tree that is derived from the Primary Class with a combination of brand new skills and skills that are borrowed from the Secondary Class. The result is a hero that feels like a twist on the Primary Class with a bunch of new tricks!

There are 6 hybrid classes that are waiting for you to discover! Here’s a link to the full patch notes on our forums! :D!
