Description
Wild Variants adds unique weapons inspired by the monsters of orbis, changing how each archetype is played while also polishing & balancing some of the mobs that inspired them. These weapons are not direct upgrades in the progression system, instead they offer alternative playstyles, allowing you to experience your favorite weapon types in new ways while wielding gear crafted from Orbis’ most dangerous fauna.
Our weapons are currently balanced around being alternative counterparts to Adamantite gear, offering different combat styles rather than stronger stats. We want to add the feeling of wonder to Hytale's exploration and progression, creating unique drops from monster that allows players to craft unique weapons.
As Hytale evolves, Wild Variants will expand along with the game's progression, if the developers add a new poisonous monster, that might be the perfect opportunity for us to create a stronger poison dagger variant with a new look.
These daggers sacrifice base damage in exchange for powerful poison effects, Perfect for players who prefer damage over time and aggressive mobility.

• Primary Attacks applies a poison effect, increasing its duration with each hit
• Charged Attacks launches you forward in a spinning dash, dealing increased damage to poisoned enemies
