Hey guys! In this week’s update we announce the three winners of our Halloween Spell Competition, we also reveal a brand new, never-before-seen creature that will be playable from the new deployment next week. We also give you sneak-peek of a few ICO creatures — we hope you enjoy the read!

Spell Competition — It was a spooktacular affair!

Thank you to everyone who entered the Spell Competition — we were blown away by all the unique and creative entries — you really made our judging job tough! The judging team were provided an anonymous list of entries and after much deliberation and debating, decided on our three winners! All three of the winning spells are so awesome, that they’ll be included in our sprint planning to be released in future builds!

In 3rd place, winning 250 $DTBs is:

Winners Name: JD
Spell Name: Solar Bomb
Spell Description: This spell harnesses the power of the sun to form a ball of energy used as an attack. Your creature raises its arms and head to the sky and a glowing, yellow ball forms that can be used as a powerful attack.

In 2nd place, winning 250 $DTBs is:

Winners Name: Sonius94
Spell Name: Paralyzing Eyes
Spell Description: After activating this spell, your opponent is stunned for a short period of time. Two big, creepy eyes appear behind your opponent’s creature.

And, in 1st place, winning 500 $DTBs is:

Winners Name: Sonius94
Spell Name: Dark Shadows
Spell Description: This spell inflicts damage over time. Every x second a shadow attacks your opponent. It will get dark under your opponent’s creature, piercing your opponent’s shield and inflicting damage.

Thank you again for all your entries, and keep an eye out — maybe some of your other ideas could give some inspiration to our VFX team for future spells ;)

Introducing… Kuma!

Here’s a brand new creature that is included in next week’s new deployment! Kuma is a bit of a team favourite here at Augmentors HQ — we hope you enjoy him as much as we do!

Kuma, a young sorcerer from Sky Point Mountains, is imbued with the powerful soul of a Jade Spirit Dragon which he calls Kinn. Kuma came to the aid of Augmentors to bring Dark Rhule and his Shadowmentors to justice. He is selfless and according to some of his fellow Augmentors, “adorable”. But many underestimate him and his Dragon Spirit companion!

Kuma from Sky Point Mountains

Kuma is a Common creature, with a maximum token supply of 6 450. His starting stats are:

Health: 450
Mana: 1.9
Defense: 150
Attack: 200

Check out the full 3D versions below!

Sneak-Peek: Galaxia, Axel and Sledgewood

As you all know, we’ve been working hard on getting the token sale creatures ready for the start of the creature token swap at the end of the year. We’d thought we’d give you a sneak-peek of some of our work to help token holders decide on which creatures they want in the swap!

Galaxia

Galaxia, the God of Battle, Ocean and Frost, is a mountain of character and strength. Though surrounded by ice and cold, he has a warm, kind heart. Although when provoked, his fury makes him the one Augmentor you do not want to be up against.

Deep in his home of Frost Fang, he lives in what seems like a simple fortress sculpted of frost and snow. A closer look will reveal that the fortress is actually a chained hovering ship, capable of traveling and teleporting around the Bello Realm, the frost a special crystal fashioned from rocks, still cold in nature. The fortress is a part of him, he can control it from wherever he may be.

Galaxia trusts very few — aside from Gobi, the only other Augmentor that he trusts implicitly is Tundris, whom he sees as the prodigal son and heir to the throne of Frost Fang.

Have a look at him in 3D below!

Galaxia is a Legendary God creature, with a maximum token supply of 17. His starting stats are:

Health: 600
Mana: 2.2
Defense: 150
Attack: 200

Axel

Axel, a once beetle-like warrior, now embodies a suit of armor fashioned from nature by Gobi.

As a brave (or foolish) warrior, Axel stood the front line against Dark Rhule’s very first attack on the Realm. Like many others, Axel was defeated by Dark Rhule’s signature spell, conjured from the darkest corners of the Datasphere, that allowed him to siphon the spirits of his enemies in order to become even stronger.

Axel’s body was turned to dust, but his spirit remained, as Dark Rhule began to absorb his spirit, Galaxia arrived and landed a fierce blow to Dark Rhule. Shortly after, the cavalry arrived and managed to ward off Dark Rhule, only for a moment, to allow Gobi to collect Axel’s spirit so that he could find a host for him soon after.

Although Axel mourned the loss of his body, his will was stronger than ever. He is in complete control of his host, and is thankful to Gobi. He returned to battle, strong and vicious.

Augmentor Axel

Shadowmentor Axel

Axel is a Legendary creature, with a maximum token supply of 200. His starting stats are:

Health: 550
Mana: 2.1
Defense: 250
Attack: 140

Sledgewood

Although not much is known about his origins, it is known that Sledgewood is a tree that awoke from its slumber when the earth shook from Dark Rhule’s first attack on the Bello Realm. From his own bark and moss-covered mouth, he groaned, “One moment there was nothing, the next… I could see and hear everything around me.”

He controls spells in nature that even Tiska, being the most gifted druid in the Realm, is bewildered by.

Have a look at him in 3D below!

Sledgewood is a Legendary Hero/Villain creature, with a maximum token supply of 32. His starting stats are:

Unique Spells

A heads up that we’ve overhauled the unique attack and defense spells for each creature, and we’ve also renamed some of them to make them more apt for each creature. We’ll go into more detail on these changes in the coming weeks, but in the interim — enjoy trying out the new uniques available in the next deployment!

Reminder of the new deployment

The latest version (1.0.5) of Augmentors should be available from Tuesday on the app stores. The previous version is not compatible so you’ll have to download the update in order to see all of our new spell effects, the brand new spells and to be able to battle with the new creatures, Inubo and Kuma. You can find the full release notes on our website here.
