Description

Bernard, the Alchemist is a Hero Pack that introduces the scout-healer multiclass to Across the Obelisk. Devise new party compositions and create advanced strategies thanks to Bernard’s unique class. Bernard is joined by a new pet, Inky, his faithful octopus friend.

Bernard, the Alchemist Hero Pack contains:

  • Bernard, a scout-healer hybrid, best placed to take advantage of Flask and Rust, the tag and curse introduced in update 1.5.

  • A deceptive hero. Bernard might have the speed of a turtle, but his powers are much mightier! Use his mastery of Rust to inflict powerful effects on unsuspecting enemies or reduce the impact of negative effects on Bernard.

  • Inky, the octopus, a pet with the ability to shoot ink and apply the Wet, Poison and Dark status effects.

  • Three unique skins, each fit for adventuring on the high seas and beyond.

  • Three new cardbacks with a Sahti Islands flavor.

  • Custom replies for random events. Discover more about Bernard’s personality, backstory and hopes for a longer life.

Thanks to Bernard, the Alchemist and Inky, his eight-legged friend, you can discover powerful new combinations previously unseen.

I don't understand the bad reviews. Yes, he is very slow (he is a [i]turtle[/i] after all), so speed-boosting items are a must. But he's a perfectly good healer, and actually I think he might be the strongest offensive character in the game. A max-level, well-built, well-equipped Bernard can inflict [i]massive[/i] amounts of poison; with the Polluter (which you can guarantee you'll get if you go through Aquarfall),
