Valhalla Survival just received a massive new update, introducing exciting systems and challenges. Lionheart Studio officially launched the Hero Ascension System along with a wide variety of new battlefield items.
How the New System Works
------------------------
The Hero Ascension System in Valhalla Survival allows you to strengthen heroes using Hero Shards. With each upgrade, heroes gain improvements to their personal and class skills. Additionally, a second skill slot becomes available, letting you equip abilities from other heroes.
Every upgrade attempt is guaranteed to work. Reaching certain ascension milestones grants stacking passive bonuses. Unlock special profile icons and frames as you hit significant progress levels.
You can view which heroes qualify for upgrades under the Hero Advancement tab. There, you can also preview skill evolutions before finalizing your ascension choice.
The first tier improves hero skills and opens up the extra skill slot. The second tier concentrates on enhancing class skills, while higher tiers are planned for future updates.
Introducing the Hero Trial System
---------------------------------
Test heroes you haven’t unlocked yet through the Hero Trial System. Enter a special five-minute stage where monsters attack but inflict no real damage.
During the trial, hero skill cooldowns are fixed at 10 seconds, and every hero uses a predefined level and equipment. If the hero has unlocked ascension effects, these remain active during the trial.
Three treasure chest items have been added: Flames of Muspelheim, Footsteps of Loki, and Coin of Fate. Each provides distinct effects, from offensive fire blasts to brief invincibility in battle.
Nightmare Mode now includes a fifth chapter, targeting veteran players with increased difficulty. If you haven’t tried this hack-and-slash roguelike yet, download it from the Google Play Store.
