Gameplay settings

Gameplay settings

The last screen is the gameplay settings screen. As yet, only the cinematic intro on/off setting is available.

Two modes

Illuvium's private beta has two modes.

  • Competitive
  • Training

They mean ranking battle and practicing for it.


Competitive mode

In the Competitive mode:

  • There is a time limit.
  • Checkpoints every 5 waves
  • Checkpoints may be used up to 3 times.

Players play under the above conditions and they may get on the leaderboard according to the number of Waves cleared and
the number of repulsions.

This is a ranking mode for serious play.


Training mode

In the Training mode:

  • There is no timelimit.
  • Checkpoint per wave
  • Unlimited checkpoints can be used.

It is only a training mode, so you will not be on the leaderboard. The enemies and decks that appear will also be from the previous day.

It is good practice to clear a wave in training that you could not clear the day before!


Basic keys and commands

Now that the initial setup is complete, basic keys and commands will be explained in this chapter.

The contents in this screen will be reviewed and explained.

Filtering cards

Finding the best card among the many Illuvial and Augments cards can take a lot of time.

This feature also makes it easy to keep track of which cards are available.

Illuvium Private Beta 2 Game Flow

Here is a description of the game mechanics of Illuvium Private Beta 2.

  • Time settings
  • Mastery points
  • Checkpoints

This is basic information for playing and winning the game.


Time to place Illuvial

It is indicated in "PLANNING" at the top of the screen. The time to place an Illuvial will vary depending on the number of Wave.

Wave 1 starts at 35 seconds, and each additional Wave increases the time to think and install by 5 seconds.

Time for each Wave

The table below shows the time for each Wave. Over Wave 30 has more than 3 minutes.


When the remaining time is less than 5 seconds, the time display turns red to notify the user.

When the time display turns red, you cannot press the start button and must wait for the start.


Note the time over 45 seconds and beyond!

The battle begins, and after 45 seconds, the battlefield flashes as shown in the video below, damaging both friendly and enemy Illuvial.

This mechanism can have a significant impact on winning or losing a battle.

Strategic use of field damage mechanisms may make it easier to win.


Learning how to increase mastery points

Mastery point management is a key aspect of the Illuvium battle system.

Mastery point
  • Placing Illuvial
  • Installing Augments
  • Ranger's Armor

Mastery points are required for these specifications above.

It's crucial to know how Mastery Point grows!


Mastery points start at 120 and increase by 20 points every Wave as base points.

In addition, an additional 5% of the mastery points left over from the previous Wave will be added as interest.

Let's say,
you leave 120P in Wave 1, Wave 2 will be 146P. (120P + (20P "base points" + 6P "interest") = 146P)
If you spent 41P in Wave 2 and left 105P, you will start with 130P in Wave 3.
(120P + (20P "base points" + 5P "interest"))
The undivided portion will be rounded down.

Mastery points can be learned as you play.


Checkpoints

In the arena at Illuvium, if you lose a battle, you can start over from a checkpoint.

The specifications of the checkpoints are different by the battle mode and are explained below.

To return to a checkpoint, use the button in the image above to start over from the checkpoint.


Competitive checkpoint specifications

  • Checkpoints every 5 Wave
  • Up to 3 checkpoints available
Competitive mode

Achievements that get on the leaderboard are those after returning at the checkpoint.
For example, if you lose in Wave 20, go back to Wave 16, and end up losing in Wave 17, the achievement to get on the leaderboard will be Wave 17.

The community has discussed this specification, so it's subject to change and modification. But it's a point to keep in mind!

You can check from the symbol in the upper right corner, how many more checkpoints you can return to.

Checkpoint screen


Training checkpoint specifications

  • You can go back to one previous Wave.
  • Any number of checkpoints available

For the above reasons, the training mode is the easiest mode to practice thoroughly.

The Augments feature, which was introduced in private beta 2, is one of the most important points of the game.

Augments

Augments are cards that enhance the Illuvial and come in a variety of types and effects.

The same Iluvial can be completely different depending on whether it has Augments.


Equipping an Augment to an Illuvial can be done in three steps.

  • Select Augments
  • Mounting in Illuvial
  • Select two stats

The following video flow is shown below.

It is important to know which Augments to equip which Illuvial.

Another important point is the stack of Augments, which can increase the capacity by two when installed.
