Shadow Lords Mode

I just watched it too.

OMG KI will consume my life.

All the other games I bought throughout my life are meaningless, and will become a waste of money…

RIP Ostrich

Totally doing some hype SL Streams.

Are all characters available to play in this mode? I wouldn’t be able to pick Omen if I wanted him as part of my team would I?

I know this is a stretch but it would be nice if upon completion of shadow lords, the Captain or person to defeat Gargoes will receive a special alt. costume. Would be cool to add cosmetics of sorts or I suppose maybe a secret character.

Finally got to see the video on ShadowLords and I thought I’d respond while it’s still fresh:

Oh my god… I LOVE IT!!

I was hoping for a kind of super survival mode with loot drops, but this is a billion times better.

Daily bonuses
Item crafting
Loot drops
Huge array of buff and opponent nerf items
Wagering!
Player choice
Lore info

I mean that level of detail is insane! What an awesome idea and it looks like it came together beautifully.

I’ve been waiting for an infinite mode to replace survival and this is it. The idea of stemming the corruption and breaking the tethers… That gorgeous sky stage… The threat meter… I’m so happy IG did this and I can’t wait to play it! Thank you so much!

Sorry for double posting, but I figured I’d keep this separate. A few questions, @TempusChaoti, @BlitzedKraig and @Jessabirdy. Not sure if any of you can answer:

-1. Do you get any sort of penalty for losing all three characters? What happens to the world?

-2. How is the season three story woven in to this mode? Is it all text boxes? Are any parts cinematic or narrated like in season 2? Are there special matches for rivals or anything along those lines?

-3. Without asking for specifics and excluding the sky stage, which I’m assuming you unlock by beating Gargos (it looks beautiful btw!), will we be able to unlock anything else in this mode that we can use in other modes?

-4. Can you tell us what shadow fragments are for? Are they a type of food or currency?

-5. Is there anything else you might want to tell us about the mode that the guys didn’t have time to touch on in the video? I’m really curious to learn more!

-6. Can you switch up your team members mid-run through and does that have an effect on the story or anything along those lines?

-7. Is there any type of story benefit for having characters in your party, like you’ll get Fulgore’s story when he’s your captain or something along those lines?

My only questions is say I want to keep playing over and over with the purpose of collecting. Can I get to a point where I have every item, guardian and character in my barracks? Also if a character dies on gargos in the next playthrough are they gone? Is it possible to have a barracks bigger than three people?

Rabbit Guardian?

Vergo… for reals here…
Have you considered the notion that you might have a sort of obsession?

I’m not too up on Hisako’s accessories, but I’m pretty sure in the stream I saw her wearing a ‘phantom of the opera’ style mask…is it new? If so, will that mean we’ll get new unlockable accessories??

It’s not new. It’s part of her retro costume (which the fight was using)

My bad…I don’t use her much, and I really don’t care for her retro, so I haven’t seen it for awhile.

I hope it’s like Diablo or d&d in that u can easily add new items, character traits etc as needed. Like maybe 10-15new items every 6 months or something

A Diablo Ki during the gargos invasion haha I need that!!!

So I finally got to sit down and watch the entire breakdown and wow…That looks like it is going to be extremely addicting and fun lol

Is there any sort of leaderboard or something that keeps statistics? It would be cool if it kept track of our times and we all could compete to see who can finish the mode the fastest, or some sort of high score for us to aim for

I want to see how fast I can take Gargy down. Though honestly it wouldn’t surprise me if within an hour or so of being up some pro beats him before everybody else…

Look. Infinite Shadow so infinite Hype beams. Infinite Instinct so infinite annihilations.

What if gargos buff is instant block projectiles?

Umm well umm lose and try again and hope he doesn’t get the buff?

Infinite instinct on ARIA.

“I can play your tank game too gargos!”

With infinite shadow meter.

I can just shower the screen with dissonance blasts clipping anyone in my way.

SONIC BLAST! SONIC BLAST!!!
