Hello Everyone,

After Bloodstorm and Bloodstorm: Part II, Wolcen: Arise is the third content patch for Chronicle1: Bloodtrail.

This content patch brings:

• The Summons Revamp,
  
• New environments,
  
• New skills’ damage type variations,
  
• A New Cosmetic Armor,
  
• Quality of Life improvements,
  
• Bug fixing,

We worked on massive changes to how summons look, behave and feel.

If you want more details on what we have planned for our next content patches, feel free to check June’s Monthly Development Update.

Here are the full Patch Notes for Wolcen: Arise.

Thank you again for your support.

• Complete cosmetic revamp

Models, animations, and visual effects have been entirely redone for all summons and every damage type variant.

Feeding Swarm


Hunting Swarm


Livor Mortis

• Auto-respawn

As long as the skill is equipped your summons will respawn automatically every 2 seconds for Feeding Swarm and Hunting Swarm and 5 seconds for Livor Mortis until you have your maximum number of summons alive.

• Teleportation

Pressing a summon’s keybind now causes all your associated summons to teleport and launch a coordinated attack at the cursor’s location.

Feeding Swarm


Hunting Swarm

• Summons’ power now scale with your character

Summons dealing Physical, Rend or Toxic damage will gain bonus damage from your %material damage. If you change their damage type to Frost, Fire, or Lightning, they will benefit from your %elemental damage, and so on.

Hunting Swarm summons now benefit from your additional projectiles, your %projectile damage…

Note: As scaling is a matter of balancing, we will use your feedback on the current state of the summons in order to fine-tune how they scale with particular affixes, thus, we will keep working on balancing the summons in the upcoming content patches. To help you theorycraft and make relevant builds, here is a list of what the summons currently scale with:

• Weapon Damage;
  
• Total Attributes Bonus Damage;
  
• Ailment Damage;
  
• Skill’s Flat Damage (Gems, XX damage on spells..);
  
• Skill’s %Damage (%damage, %spell damage, %projectile damage…);
  
• Skill’s %Damage Type (%material/elemental/occult damage);
  
• Projectile Count.

• Tooltip and damage clarification

The average damage of your summons now appears on their skill tooltips. Every Modifier has been clarified to indicate the % of increased damage it gives.

In addition, the damage display text and the health bars for your summons can now be toggled on and off.

• Infested Bog
  

• Aberrant Marsh
  

• The Lunar Armor is now available in Stormfall Palace through the “Mirrormaid’ project.
