Overview

Stamina

Heroes will burn stamina as they complete activities on the island. Each hero will start at 20 stamina, and can recover 20 stamina per day.

The amount of stamina is fixed per slot, meaning that you can freely switch a hero into a different slot in order for them to gain the stamina of that slot. For example, a Nemora in a slot with 12 stamina can be swapped with a Belinda in a slot with 20 stamina. At the end of the swap, Nemora will have 20 stamina while Belinda will have 12.

This is an effective manner of getting more use out of specific heroes.

Transcript

[Opening Animatic]

Our tale begins with an expedition. Heroes from all corners of the world banded together to explore a land risen from the abyss...

Unbeknownst to our adventurers, the seeds of failure had already been sown. One amongst them was a greater threat than any could've known...

A malice widened an already deepening rift between the heroes. With their ship destroyed, a lost island was their only hope. But the real test has just begun.

[Start of Event]

Solise: ... What is this place? What happened?

Gorvo: We were shipwrecked. This remote island is our new home for now.

Lucius: There's ship debris on the beach, we'd best investigate.

Belinda: The hull is ruined, there's no way we could piece this together and get back out to sea.

Gorvo: I can.

Belinda: ...Only by repairing the ship's hull can we guarantee everyone's safety.

[Begin farming]

Lucius: It'll take some time to repair the ship. The anomaly at sea doesn't appear to be subsiding. If we want to survive, we'd better cultivate our own food.

Solise: There are all sorts of plants on the island, I'm sure we can find some fruits.

[Collect first floating bottle]

Vurk: That looks like small bottles floating in the ocean, they seem to contain supplies.

Belinda: A drifting bottle. People would put messages in these and cast them out to sea. I've conveniently just picked up a pen and paper from the wreckage, perhaps we can use our own drifting bottle to send word for help?

Vurk: It's likely that the bottles will just wash back up on this shore again.

[Begin fishing]

Vurk: I can't live on leaves! I need some meat, too!

Antandra: Perhaps we can try our hand at fishing, that'll give us strength!

[Encounter vines]

Vurk: What's with all the vines on this stupid island?! Setting traps is such a pain!

Antandra: We need to clear these vines to explore more of the island.

[Challenge Mind-Caged Seirus]

Seirus: What's the matter Gorvo, are you so surprised?

Gorvo: My dear friend, why are you on this island? Was it you who sunk the ship?

Belinda: Gorvo has been ambushed! Quickly, help!

[Enter volcanic area]

Arthur: This is the cause of all our problems. The mysterious sea anomaly and the in-fighting among ourselves. This is where it ends.

Event Teaser

Teaser Transcript

"An exciting voyage into the unknown, a thrilling expedition. At least, it should’ve been.

But we found ourselves shipwrecked, stranded on a remote island.

Now the real nightmare begins.

A Hypogean is among us.

It has cleverly masked its identity, disguised as one of us.

It messes with our minds, corrupts our thoughts, leading us to our destruction.

All trust is gone, suspicion is rife.

Baseless accusations are at every turn.

Now, a choice must be made.

I’ve placed all hope in you.

Go now, strike, and reverse the tide!"
