• Valor 1.5.4: Resistance - 10 December 2022

  Resistance We've discussed this on the Discord server before. When you're trying to go for a defensive or tanky build, there aren't that many options. That's why we've introduced a new stat: Resistance! Each point of Resistance will reduce your damage taken by 0.1%, multiplicatively. Get those new resistance runes, or use your prestige points to get real tanky! New Afflictions A new Affliction has been added, that will reduce the damage you deal as time goes on (only during the round, of course), so don't pick it if you don't pack the damage to finish things quickly! On top of that, all Afflictions now have an extra tier, reaching up to Tier 4. You'll need some really strong late-game builds to handle these. Cursed Runes With the new Afflictions and extra tier, the maximum Affliction level has gone up from 27 to 40! Obviously, that means we needed an extra rune tier: Cursed Runes! Curse…

• Valor 1.5.3: Kunai - 6 November 2022

  New Evolutions 6 New Evolutions have been added to the Evolution gamemode, along with another 5 Streamer-only Evolutions. You'll see the new Kunai Evolutions pop up, and trust me, they're pretty strong! New Afflictions When trying to get Tormented Runes, Affliction really didn't give you much of a choice: you basically had to tick all boxes to get them. To solve that, 2 new Afflictions (each with 3 Tiers) have been added, allowing you to choose which ones you'll leave out and which ones you'll keep. Balance Rebecca Tactical Mine Base Arm time: 3s -> 2.5s Tactical Mine Base damage: 15 -> 20 Affliction Normal/Timeworn/Ancient Ghost base health: 160/400/800 -> 120/300/600 Other stuff Twitch vote time is now in configurable in the Twitch menu. The Achievements menu now also shows a nice progress bar to show you how far you currently are. Added 2 new achievements for reaching the top 1% in t…

• Valor 1.5.2: Affliction - 1 November 2022

  Affliction A new gamemode for true endgame players ... Affliction! Before you start the round, you'll be able to choose between various Afflictions. The more afflictions you choose, the higher the rewards, should you win the challenge. The challenges themselves will be the hardest you've seen so far in the game, but the rewards will be well worth it. Depending on the amount of selected Afflictions, you'll be able to receive 2 new tiers of runes. Both the Afflicted and Tormented runes are stronger than Gladiator runes! On top of that, some new achievements have been added that will increase the rate at which you can earn runes. You'll even be able to earn runes from non-bossfights! Of course, the new gamemode also counts towards the leaderboards, so you'll have some new opportunities to improve your glory! Balance Ember Flare cooldown: 5 -> 4.5 Dragon's Base damage: 30 -> 35 Dragon's Bre…

• Valor Full Release: Coming November 3rd! - 15 October 2022

  The time has (almost) come. Valor will go out of Early Access on November 3rd 2022! To celebrate, a new gamemode will be added, sparking a new competition, the Valor November Championship! Does that mean no updates will come after that? No! I still have lots of ideas to add to the game. The game will simply move to Full Release state.

• Valor 1.5.1: Prestige - 12 October 2022

  Prestige Levels You've asked for this, and it's now here: Prestige Levels! Once you reach max level (20), your character will now keep on gaining experience. This experience will count towards Prestige Levels. Every time you gain a Prestige Level, you'll be able to spend a point in the Prestige menu: Zone Gadgets A new Gadget category has been added: Zone Gadgets!

  Results The results for the first Valor Championship are in! Winners will be contacted personally by me in the next few days.

• Valor 1.5.0: Rebecca - 17 September 2022

  Rebecca A new gladiator has joined the team. Rebecca features high speed shoot em up gameplay, bringing her skills from Sector 92 and Neonwave City to the game. *Pew pew!* Rebecca was born and raised in Neonwave City. Her parents were part of The Revaton 7, an organization that ruled most of the city. Eventually, Jake Castillo took over and the family had to flee, seeking refuge in Spark. Spark's citizens aren't known for being very welcoming towards citizens from "lesser" origins, so their Order Keepers stormed Rebecca's safehouse. While her parents managed to escape, Rebecca was caught. She was transferred to Revaton's largest prison, Sector 92. Inside, she learned both combat and technical skills from her fellow prisoners, eventually escaping Sector 92, and starting a new life as a Gladiator. Balance Rewards The Training Grounds are a great way of getting more experience. While that'…

• Valor 1.4.2: (R)evolution - 19 August 2022

  (R)evolution Let's start with the main attraction. The fan favourite evolution gamemode has received some epic changes and updates! Let's go over them one by one. Difficulty The players who actually got far enough into the game to play Evolution, really enjoyed it. However, most players don't get to Gladiator difficulty. That's why the starting difficulty for Evolution has been lowered by quite a bit. You'll now be able to play Evolution once you've beaten the level on Novice. On top of that, the difficulty in the earlier waves has also been reduced to account for lower-level players joining in: Enemy strength: Gladiator level -> Brawler level Affixes: 3 -> 1 (+1 every 4th wave) Exp and gold rewards: 100% + 10% per wave -> 70% + 6% per wave Enemies now get stronger more quickly as the waves progress. The break even point compared to previously is around wave 25, but keep in mind there w…

• Valor 1.4.1 - 2 August 2022

  New Weapons Every gladiator now has a new weapon to unlock. These weapons are buyable gadgets, unlocked once you reach The Tinker District. Raven Echo: Raven's basic attacks now shoot homing bats that deal 30% increased damage. These basic attacks can no longer pierce. Ember Lightning Glyph: Ember's cooldowns are reduced by 40%. Her movement speed is increased by 25%, but her maximum health is reduced by 50%. Krogar Sanguine Scimitar: Reduces Krogar's attack damage by 25%, but all auto attacks heal for 20% of the damage dealt. Victoria Mooncaller: Sanguine shape is permanently active, but it is 50% less effective. Leaderboards The leaderboards have been expanded with few new features. First of all, you now get assigned a rank based on your position in every leaderboard. Earning these ranks will also grant you some extra bragging rights in the form of new achievements! Finally, It is now…

• Valor Price Increase - 26 July 2022

  Hi everyone, Valor is nearing full release, and as mentioned in our Early Access documentation, that means the price will be increasing slightly. On August 12th, 2022, the price will be increasing from $4.99 to $7.99 (or your regional equivalent). This will be the final, full release price. Before August 12th, you will still be able to purchase the game for the discounted Early Access price. Obviously, people who already own the game, will not be affected by this.

• Valor 1.4: The Tinker District - 20 July 2022

  The Tinker District First things first: The Tinker District! The Tinker District has always been one of the poorest cities in Revaton. While many of the region's products, especially tech, are made here, it is often looken down on. In particular, the wealthy citizens of Revaton's capital, Spark, have been mocking this district for years. Spark has been reducing funding and support for the region continuously, resulting in strikes across the district. However, what the Tinkerers lack in wealth and riches, they make up for in ingenuity. The Tinker District is most famous for turning scrap into mechs, tools and other technological gizmos. Because there seems to be no end to the technological discoveries made here, many believe that Spark will lose their status to the Thinker District in the future. However, Spark will probably make sure that never happens. Eugene Sterling will guide you th…

• Valor 1.3.3: Weapons & Streaming - 17 May 2022

  Weapons Ever wondered why Krogar keeps talking about his axe, while he has a hammer? Well, now he can wield an axe too! With this patch, you'll be able to unlock unique weapons for every gladiator through the Gadgets menu. Once unlocked, you'll have the option to swap your gladiators' weapons for the new ones.

• Valor 1.3.2: Evolution - 19 March 2022

  Evolution The major addition in today's patch is the new gamemode, Evolution. In some ways, Evolution works like the Gauntlet. Every time you beat a round, a new, harder round starts. However, what happens in between rounds is what differs. First of all, instead of an extra affix, enemies will just get stronger over time, and they will spawn in greater numbers as well. So, how do you stop that? Between every round, you'll be presented with a choice of 3 buffs that will last throughout the whole run. All buffs are stackable, and we're very curious to see what kind of builds you come up with. Unlike the gauntlet, your score is recorded when you lose. Your Evolution score is simply the highest round you've ever survived. Obviously, a new gamemode brings with it a new way to gain Glory and rise through the leaderboards. As such, your evolution score will be automatically added to your Glory…

• Valor 1.3.1: ...With style! - 19 February 2022

Oh, you can also see where the next environments could be ;). Customization You can now purchase two new (expensive) items from the Gadgets store. One will unlock the Silver Skins, while the other will unlock Silver Particles! Particles are a new way to customize you gladiators.

You'll also be able to unlock Sanguine Particles by beating all Castle Sanguine levels on Gladiator Difficulty. Balance Raven Volley damage for arrows beyond the first: 80% -> 70% Recall damage for arrows beyond the first: 80% -> 70% Victoria Sanguine Shape Radius: 5 -> 4 Sanguine Shape Drain per level: 0.2 -> 0.15 Gauntlet R…

• Valor 1.3: Castle Sanguine - 21 January 2022

  Castle Sanguine The Midlands have been ruled by House Sanguine for centuries. Time to show them that's about to end. This patch brings us to Castle Sanguine, bringing you 5 new challenges, including a new bossfight. Are you going to come out on top? Backstory Alexander of House Sanguine has ruled the Midlands for centuries. He and his two daughers, Victoria and Catherine, both suffer from the hereditary disease, Vampirism. While the affliction grants the host extreme life longevity, and magical powers, it can completely take over the mind if not properly controlled. Being the eldest sister, Victoria was trained to be her father's successor, while Catherine was neglected and never learned how to properly control her Vampirism. As Victoria aged, she learned that House Sanguine suppresses their Vampirism by imprisoning the poor and harvesting their blood. Knowing this, she abandoned her fa…

• Valor Early Access 1.2.2: Leaderboards - 17 December 2021

  Leaderboards The game now features leaderboards, which can be accessed from the main menu. These leaderboards rank you among the other players, based on your Glory. You can earn glory by completing levels on harder difficulties, or improving your Gauntlet level. You'll see that there are separate leaderboards for every gladiator, environment and a global leaderboard: When you open a leaderboard, you'll be able to see the top 10, as well as the players ranked near you: Happy climbing! Other Fixed a bug where giving up would give way too much exp Fixed a bug where the game would lock up after unpausing

• Valor Early Access 1.2.1: Happy Holidays! - 11 December 2021

  Happy Holidays! This smaller patch brings a few new things, while we work on the big 1.3 patch. Expect an 1.2.2 as well! New Affixes The Gift Here for the holiday season, The Gift! This little package appears on the map, waiting for you to pick it up. You really should though, because failing to open your present in time will result in a huge explosion! Blizzard Like ice skating? Blizzard is the one for you! This affix will fill the arena with ice, decreasing your grip. Balance Affix: Rejuvenation While Rejuvenation is pretty non-threatening on its own, it gets pretty hard to kill enemies when it is stacked. We're lowering the base amount to make sure there's some more breathing room here. Rejuvenation health regeneration: 10% -> 8% Ember Empowering Ember's fire-mage fantasy! Afterburner bonus damage per level: 0.75 -> 1 Other changes Tweaked some post-processing settings for spicier gr…
