00:16In the next Titan Quest 2 update, players will have access to summons.
00:20Summons were a huge part of the original game and it's only right that we bring them back, with even
00:25more additions.
00:26We'll also be breaking down talismans as well as other features added in this update.
00:30Each mastery has received a summon skill, and there are new summon related passives too.
00:36Summons are sustained skills alongside auras, reserving energy to keep a summon active.
00:40We want players to have the choice of either active or passive playstyles.
00:45Here we are using a Core Dweller from the Earth Mastery and an Automaton from Forge.
00:49As you can see with the passive playstyle, you're able to let the summons do most of the work in
00:54combat,
00:54whilst you support them with a simple backup.
00:56Though with active summon playstyles, you can either trigger abilities on your summons,
01:00as you can see here with the Core Dweller, or you can empower via the active use of the summon
01:05ability,
01:06alternating between them to actively boost your summons.
01:09Let's take a look at some of our other summons.
01:11Here we have a build using the Wisp and War Banner.
01:14The War Banner has a strong periodic heal, increased damage for your allies,
01:18reduced damage from enemies and an extended buff if you leave the aura.
01:21You can summon up to 3 extra Wisps from the base 2 with modifiers,
01:25and these Wisps are buffed with Storm Nimbus and Battlefield Awareness, giving us an advantage in combat.
01:31Drawing enemies into the aura to maximize your buffs is ideal.
01:34We want you to be able to choose your own playstyle, and change around what your summons will do via
01:38modifiers,
01:39so be sure to study each to ensure you're making the most of your strategy.
01:43As mentioned, this update will also bring several other additions such as Talismans,
01:47which work offhand for mages in place of shields.
01:50Their guaranteed increase to energy should help a lot of builds,
01:53but they can also be useful for non-caster characters.
01:56You may recognize the inspiration for some of these items.
02:00We also have new epic weapons, along with reworks of all existing epics,
02:04such as Trigon's Tail, The Harp, and Peridix's Sphere, strengthening their themes whilst boosting their power.
02:11We have so much for you to try in this new update,
02:13and we can't wait to see how you all develop your playstyle in preparation for the challenges ahead.
