The Latenivenatrix TLC has arrived, and with it comes some major gameplay changes to this agile winged pouncer! These include changes to its abilities, and the addition of some brand new playstyles. The first general playstyle leans into the pack hunter aspect of this raptor. Pouncing is the primary offensive focus for Laten, and now it features new abilities to make it even more deadly.
Shred
Shred is a powerful new bite attack that can only be used while pouncing on an enemy. However, each consecutive use of this attack uses more stamina, so Latens must be sure to manage their energy.
Scatter
Scatter is a Hide ability that allows Laten to leap high into the air when detaching from pounced enemies, letting it escape from danger more quickly.
Featherweight
Featherweight is a new Tail ability that allows you to periodically survive any fatal fall, perfect for those tight getaways where the only way out is a steep cliff!
Mob Rally
Mob Rally is a new call that increases damage while pounced and is able to be stacked up to 10 times. Very useful when in a group with many other Latenivenatrix, who can each use their own Mob Rally call to build up massive damage boosts.
Latenivenatrix also retains its role as a deadly midnight hunter, gaining even more abilities that only trigger when the sun sets.
Nocturnal
Nocturnal is a Senses ability that greatly increases your stamina recovery during the nighttime, which will allow Latens to be much more mobile and deadly in the darkness.
Leaping Start
Leaping Start is a Legs ability only active during the night time that gives Latens a sudden boost of energy. Crouch for 10 seconds in place, then uncrouch for a rapid 10 second burst of forward movement, perfect for the unexpected ambush!
Lord of Terrors
Lord of Terrors is a nighttime call that drains stamina from all nearby creatures. This ability also reduces their damage if that target is not already in combat. Combine with Leaping Start for the perfect midnight ambush!
Latenivenatrix can also lean into the deadly bleeder aspects of it's attacks, whittling away its prey's health over time by specializing into it's bleed-inducing attacks.
Bloodlust
Bloodlust is a new Senses ability that causes all attacks to deal 25% less base damage in exchange for gaining 25% bleed damage, letting Laten's decide which killing method they'd prefer to specialize in.
Mangle
Mangle is a bite attack that deals bleed damage to your target. This new attack will help Latens bleed out their enemies and also makes them weaker to bleed. This attack pairs well with their existing Ripping Kick attack that also deals bleed damage.
Puncture
Puncture is a Legs ability that allows Laten to slash with its claws while pouncing. Puncture increases bleed damage for 2 minutes while the target’s Bleed Healing is lowered.
