👻Power Born from Ancient Curses - Ultimate Skills

Long ago, the most feared Immortals were bestowed with devastating ultimate skills, abilities so powerful they could summon storms, conjure flames, and rend the earth itself. Legends tell, that these skills were crafted by forgotten sorcerers who poured their souls into spells to curse or protect Norheim's champions. When the battlefield fills with shadows, each Immortal's ultimate skill awakens with a spectral ferocity, striking terror into their foes. This Halloween, these skills feel even more alive, —as if some unseen force is aiding the Immortals, whispering incantations to increase their power.

Every ultimate skill reflects an Immortal's essence:

Fire-wielders scorch the field, lightning-strikers unleash deadly bolts, and water-bearers summon chilling floods. Ultimate skills define each Immortal's role, making them pivotal to any strategy in battle. To harness an ultimate skill's full power, players must carefully select artefacts and buffs that draw forth its potential. During Halloween, even the dragons seem haunted, amplifying the potency of these ultimate skills with an otherworldly energy.

😈A Realm Divided by Blood, Magic, and Darkness -Norheim 

Norheim is no mere battleground; it's an ancient land bound by haunted history, divided among three rival factions that each guard their grim secrets: Ydvia (blue), Vitas (green), and Ruslan(red). These factions are more than just allies—they grant dark powers that feed into each Immortal's strength. A Faction wields a specific trait, that boosts your March. Selecting a faction means aligning with the forces that best complement your march, but beware—the wrong choice could bind you to shadows that might hinder your strategy.

In Norheim, each of the three factions—Vitas, Ruslan, and Ydvia—provides a 5% boost to a specific frontline unit type, which can significantly impact your march strategy. Crucial in the early game when every bit of power is essential for growth.

Vitas offers a 5% shieldman buff: Ideal for players whose frontline is packed with shieldmen, providing increased durability to absorb damage. This faction is a lifeline for defensive players who aim to build resilient frontlines, keeping their backline attackers safe for longer. And away from the ghouls, and goblins that rise during the Feast of Halloween.

Ruslan provides a 5% cavalry buff: This is a powerful boost for those relying on cavalry in their March, enhancing their offensive and manoeuvring capabilities. A Ruslan player can expect powerful charges and quicker flanking, making it perfect for an aggressive playstyle.

Ydvia grants a 5% spearman buff: Spearmen become more lethal with this buff, dealing substantial damage to enemy cavalry and balancing out a frontline for those using versatile, well-rounded forces. To build a balanced March: This buff enables spearmen to hit harder and perform effectively as anti-cavalry forces.

Pros

Vitas (Shieldman Buff): Boosts defence, which helps for sustained battles and keeps backline attackers protected.

Ruslan (Cavalry Buff): Increases mobility and attack power, perfect for quick, decisive engagements.

Ydvia (Spearman Buff): Strengthens anti-cavalry tactics, excellent for countering cavalry-heavy opponents. Finding the perfect Spearman Immortal to counter those Marches—whether they're leaning towards Defense or Attack—can be challenging! Posidene, hailed as a Meta Spearman, is considered a worthy Spearman, to invest in. But he is a Chaos and P2P immortal, so careful consideration is required. You might even find yourself questioning, whether those Faction Buffs will still hold significant weight as the game progresses into the late stages. It is a strategic puzzle worth pondering!

Cons

Vitas: Players relying on cavalry or spearmen in their frontlines may feel underpowered.

Ruslan: Lacks additional defence, which can leave squishy backlines more exposed.

Ydvia: For those without a heavy spearman focus, the buff might go unused.

Choosing the faction that aligns with your frontline composition is critical, especially in the early game, as these buffs can be the edge needed to succeed in battles.

Norheim is split into haunted territories, with cities and Provincial capitals that offer powerful buffs to those who dare conquer them. Prepare for an epic showdown! Ghostly Gnomes' souls drift through the 9 Provinces, ready to drain the life force from unsuspecting Marches. Time to don your Ghostbusting armour and banish these spectres back to the Unforbidden Zones! But, every 8 days, Ghouls will rise again as Chaos Beasts, challenging your Marches to a thrilling duel! Get ready for an adventure like no other! Alliances vie for control, clashing in brutal battles as their Immortals echo across the haunted plains. Every city taken, every capital held, strengthens an alliance with resources, powers, and eerie advantages in the battlefield of Norheim.

🎃A Protective Charm Against the Unknown - Defense Blessing

In the battlefields of Norheim, Defense Blessing is the protective charm that every player wishes for when venturing into the shadows. This ancient blessing is like an invisible shield that wraps around an Immortal, whispering protection against incoming damage. Tank Immortals, like Charles the Great, Defense Blessing is the difference between survival and being overwhelmed by cursed enemies in battles against terrifying gnomes (PvE) and PvP clashes.

Defense Blessing becomes especially powerful in the cursed fields of PvP, adding resilience to those who brave the darkness. But beware! Some Immortals are better suited for aggressive skills, leaving Defense Blessing to those who thrive on endurance. For new players, Defense Blessing can be a life-saving charm. Adding layers of safety in early game battles and setting the stage for greater strategic depth late in the game. 

Question 3: What skill casts an invisible charm of protection, warding off damage and giving a march the power to endure cursed battles?

Bonus Question: When maxed what is the % this skill can reduce the damage taken?

👻Relics Bound by Sorcery and Shadows - Exclusive Artifacts:

In Norheim, creating an Exclusive Artefact is no ordinary task; it is the forging of a bond between Immortal and artefact, bound by ancient sorcery. Each artefact is tailored to its Immortal, enhancing its power and aligning with its unique attributes to awaken potential that would otherwise lie dormant. These relics were forged by sorcerers of old who whispered curses and blessings into each piece so that the artefact would amplify the Immortal's abilities in battle.

Exclusive Artifacts are not only about raw power but about synergy. The artefact must align with an Immortal's primary attributes and the secondary attributes—like dodge rate, critical rate, physical defence, and magic attack—must be chosen carefully to complement the Immortal's role. Artefacts that harmonize with a dragon's talents unleash a spectral synergy, an otherworldly force that enhances every attack, every dodge, and every strike. In this Halloween season, the Exclusive Artifacts seem to glow with an unearthly light, as if they hold a piece of the sorcerers who created them.

Question 4: What mystical relic, forged specifically for each Immortal, holds ancient power that enhances and amplifies an Immortal's Attributes?

😈A Pit of Shadows and Specters - Arena

At Bronze level, you meet gaming BOTS, and when you reach 1100, you will play against your server. Time to train those drops ready to slay Lords and Ladies of Norheim…Gaining Insignia is important for vast range of Goodies in the Insignia shop.

Within Norheim lies a place feared by all—a cursed battleground where Immortals clash under the watchful gaze of restless spirits. This is the Arena, a pit where only the strongest March survives. Every duel in the Arena is a trial, not only of might but of strategy. Here, players face their rivals head-on, vying for ranking, rewards, and recognition, while the spirits of fallen champions echo through the misted grounds.

To succeed in the Arena requires cunning; players must carefully select skills, dragons, and equipment to overcome their opponents. This Halloween season, the atmosphere in the Arena is charged with ghostly energy, heightening each match's intensity. As players climb the ranks, they face stronger foes, but the rewards grow greater too, including rare artefacts and resources that can only be won here, in this pit of shadows.

🎃The Last Barrier Against the Haunted - Demonic Contract

Beware, brave strategists—those who dare to wield the Demonic Contract harness a power as dark as the deepest abyss of Norheim. Midway through the game, when Immortals are stronger and the battlefield becomes treacherous, the Demonic Contract skill can tilt the scales in your favour—if you dare to control it. As shadowy as its name implies, this skill draws upon the life force of its wielder to deal massive damage, exchanging the Immortal's health for devastating attacks on enemies. But, be warned—there is a cost.

 Skills in Norheim are divided into four categories:

1. Triggered Skills activate under specific circumstances.

1. Grace Skills offer an ongoing effect, like healing or shielding.

1. Aura Skills affect the entire March, only one aura, can be used per Immortal.

1. Passive Skills are always active, enhancing attributes with constant power.

When activated, it is like a ghostly guardian embracing the March, holding back the final blow until its energy fades.

Demonic Contract Mechanics

Demonic Contract is a high-risk, high-reward skill that transfers a percentage of an Immortal's health into increased attack power. Ideal for attack-focused Immortals, particularly those with naturally high attack stats like Empress Wu, Himiko or Hannibal, this skill turns the Immortal into a ticking time bomb of lethal potential. However, its use is precarious; if left unchecked, the skill can leave your Immortal on the brink of death, forcing you to plan carefully.

Activation: When triggered, Demonic Contract consumes a portion of the Immortal's HP, converting it directly into amplified attack power.

Best Suited For: High-damage Immortals who can unleash their skills quickly, or those supported by healing units that can keep them from succumbing to their power.

Timing: Since the skill drains health, it's most effective when your March includes healers like Theodora or Zenobia to sustain your Immortal through the life drain.

Pros and Cons of Demonic Contract

Pros:

Immense Power Boost: Few skills can rival the raw attack increase that Demonic Contract grants, making it deadly in PvP or raid battles.

Burst Damage Potential: Ideal for swift, intense battles where quick takedowns matter, especially against high-value targets.

Strategic Value: Forces your opponents to deal with a high-risk, high-damage threat that can be difficult to predict.

Cons:

Health Drain: The life trade-off can make an Immortal vulnerable, especially if healing support is unavailable or insufficient.

Risk of Early Loss: Immortals with low defence may fall before making a significant impact, particularly against resilient, high-damage opponents.

Reliance on Healing: To use Demonic Contract effectively, pairing with strong healers is crucial. Without this balance, the skill becomes as much a curse as it is a boon.

A Cautionary Tale

Legend has it that many commanders, enchanted by the thrill of overwhelming power, have pushed their Immortals too far with this dark skill, only to watch them collapse into shadows. But those who master the timing, who know how to balance the life drain with healing and unleash it at the perfect moment, can wield a force that strikes fear in all who face them. Demonic Contract, is for the ambitious, for those who crave the thrill of skirting the line between life and oblivion—But remember, every contract with the demonic comes at a cost.

Question 6: "In Norheim, there's a forbidden skill, that lets Immortal trade health for powerful attacks. Making them stronger but at a dangerous cost. This dark ability is a risky choice, it is perfect for Immortals with high attack or healing support. What is the name of this haunting skill?"
