The Invaders of Oakveil update not only marks the game’s transition to version 1.1 but also introduces a brand-new biome, the Oakveil Woodlands. Here, players will confront various new enemies while gleaning additional powers from defeated bosses. Each of the seven spell schools will receive an exciting new spell, allowing for even greater tactical diversity. Additionally, both new and returning players can look forward to a significant combat overhaul, touted by Stunlock as their most extensive update yet, which rebalances gear, refines stats, and adjusts blood types.
In a recent developer communication, Stunlock highlighted exciting additions to the game’s arsenal with the new weapons featured in the Invaders of Oakveil update. The Twinblade, a dual-bladed staving weapon, empowers players to strike enemies from a distance using its unique Javelin attack, which permits players to dash to its landing spot or pull enemies toward them. The community has long awaited the Claws, a weapon capable of inflicting a stacking Puncture effect that triggers an area-of-effect damage explosion when fully charged. Rounding out the new armaments are the Throwing Daggers, perfect for players preferring long-range attacks.
Additional features of the Invaders of Oakveil update include fresh castle building options and cosmetic enhancements, appealing to players who appreciate the creative aspects of V Rising’s base-building mechanics. While specific details remain under wraps, Stunlock assures players that more information will be shared leading up to the release, including insights into the new battle arena and dueling system introduced in this patch.
