Path of Exile: Royale requires a new level 1 character to play, and the battle itself lasts no more than 15 minutes. Players are waiting for a completely new tree of passive skills. It is specially designed for quick play and PvP battles. In this case, the selected class does not affect the starting location in the tree. As players level up, they gain two passive skill points instead of one.
Players start the match on the beach of the island with a few bottles and a basic weapon. The safe zone will shrink and those in the storm will take damage. Items, chests and skill gems are scattered across the island. Experience can be gained by killing monsters and other players. Stronger monsters and skill gems, as well as higher-level equipment and several valuable chests are located in the center of the island.
There are about 50 skill gems and 15 support gems available in Path of Exile: Royale. They were taken from the base game and weakened for low level play as needed. The equipment will be basically the same as in the first act of the main game, although the numerical values of some items have been adjusted. Several new mods have also been added, and some items have become available at much lower levels.
The authors note that the effect of the health flasks will be interrupted if you get hit by another player. When the player dies, you can pick up the items that he had from his corpse. Item filters and cosmetic microtransactions are disabled for now.
Flask stations can be found on the island, fully replenishing charges. Additionally, in Path of Exile: Royale, characters have more health, less mana (but with faster mana regeneration), higher stun and condition thresholds, more balanced base stats, and faster experience gain.
Battle Royale winners will receive a new hideout decoration in the base game, the Rhoa Feast. New appearance options are unlocked for him as the player wins more rounds. When you hover the cursor, the win score is shown.
Simultaneously with the return of Path of Exile: Royale, the developers of the action RPG presented an add-on “Expeditions”, which will be released on July 23rd for PC and July 28th for consoles.
Players will experience a challenge league, 4 new NPC traders, 19 new skill and support gems, new base item types, unique items, and large-scale balance changes that will make the game more challenging, including a complete overhaul of the flask system.
