More about this game
Take control of Zyra the Ember Wyrm in a fast-paced 2D action arena. Your goal is to survive escalating waves of shadow monsters and defeat the massive Shadow Colossus bosses. The core loop involves jumping between platforms, dodging blood meteors, and firing auto-aiming projectiles at marked targets. As you progress, enemies gain more health and attack faster. A run ends when your 180 health is fully depleted by enemy strikes or environmental hazards.
Tips
- Your dash grants 0.25 seconds of invulnerability. Use it right before a blood meteor hits the ground to avoid taking heavy damage.
- The Dread Knight takes 70% less damage from the front. Dash behind them to deal your full 30 base damage per shot.
- Save your ultimate ability for when the Shadow Colossus spawns, as it instantly deals massive damage to bosses and clears smaller enemies.
Questions
How do I heal my character?
Defeating a boss drops a Bloodroot Potion that restores 28 health. You can also buy the Soul Mending boon between levels for 5 Spirit Shards to heal 70 health.
What do Spirit Shards do?
Spirit Shards are earned by defeating enemies. Spend them at the Veiled Merchant between levels to buy upgrades like Spectral Plates for armor or Rapid Sigil for faster shooting.
How does the weapon heat work?
Firing your weapon increases its heat. If it reaches 100%, it overheats and you cannot shoot until it cools down. Pace your shots to maintain a steady damage output.
