Gamevil has recently released a new update for Knight Slinger which added a familiar theme that we all know pretty well. New characters and a new game mode has been added in celebration of the Lunar New Year’s Festival. The new characters are based off on the popular Chinese myth, Journey to the West. There are also improvements in the Duel Arena, Siege Battle and UI for a better mobile gaming experience.
There are a total of seven new characters added from the Journey to the West update. Players can recruit them during this limited time only event through a separate recruitment banner which has increased rates for the new characters. Some of the new characters include:
Sun Wukong – The king of the apes, Sun Wukong is as skillful as he is arrogant. His near immortal status almost makes up for his lack of manners (Fire Spearman)
Sha Wujing – The menace Sha Wujing gave up her ways of bothering travelers while hiding in a river of sand. Commanded by the Goddes of Mercy, she waits for the one destined to retrieve the truth (Light Tanker)
Xuanzang – The leader of the group, Xuanzang’s mission has become bigger than himself. Anyone who can make even Sun Wukong follow him has to be scary indeed (Dark Magician)
Zhu Bajia – Underneath the clumsy and undisciplined personality of Zhu Bajie lies a highly skilled warrior. Bajie usually stops complaining once he gets his first love: food (Wood Cannoneer)
A new Divine Dungeon has erected which allows players to participate during this limited time to collect pieces in order to recruit the powerful ‘Journey to the West’ characters! Of course, the higher the difficulty of the dungeon, the better the rewards! Conquer the dungeon and stand a chance to obtain Niu Mowang!
New improvements in the update:
Duel Arena and Siege Battle Improvements – Not only can players obtain larger Starble rewards based on the revised score system in Duel Arena, but they can also participate in the new ‘Limitless’ game mode, which lets Adventurers battle with no restrictions. Be warned though; you may still face stiff competition! Siege Battle also includes a ‘Revenge’ feature, which lets adventurers gain back their honor on those foes that took over their rank.
Other improvements in the update include a cleaner UI interface when selecting stages in Adventure, Elemental Dungeons and Divine Dungeon. Players can also see more information before choosing a stage.
