ADD more skills & gems

[QAQ无忧]

I’ve played for over seventy hours,this game is very fun and enjoyable, and the feel of the combat and the sense of satisfaction are both excellent.However, it feels like the strategies all become similar by the end. Mainly, in the later stages, it’s not about lacking damage output, but about lacking skills to stay alive.
This leads to a lot of playtime focusing on using Frostbite and Ice Shield to raise shields, because healing and shield skills are easily interrupted by minions.
I suggest add more new memories, essences, or mechanics. For example, in addition to the existing Tranquility, Invincibility, and Parry, we could also add a dodge mechanic, similar to how attacking a certain number of times grants a layer of dodge, which would immune you to the next incoming damage.
Then there are some essences in the game that have fixed values and do not benefit from other attribute bonuses. For instance, that Steadfast essence that gives a shield with a fixed value based on damage dealt, and the only way to increase the shield value is by upgrading the essence itself, which seems a bit underwhelming. Essences that don’t benefit from attribute bonuses have no place in the late game, so I suggest buffing similar essences.

Hi, thank you for the insightful feedback. We are planning to add skills and essences to add more synergies and fun interactions to shield mechanics. What you suggested also sounds like a nice idea! We will take note and see what we can do about them in the future. Thank you again, and I hope you have a great end of the year :)
