Hello Travelers, Summer's winding down, but the excitement for Season 5 is heating up. This is the last Eterra Monthly before it hits, so consider this the final briefing before Morditas unleashes his rage across Eterra. Inside: the release date for our countdown to Season 5 calendar, a warm welcome to your new Lead Community Manager, an adorable new addition to Pets of Epoch, and a surprise all-new reveal straight from Mike. Let's dive in! Countdown to Season 5: Coming September 14 We're taking a different approach this season by sharing an countdown calendar leading up to the launch of Season 5. The calendar will show you all a day-by-day map of the events, reveals, streams and more happening between now and the launch of Season 5 on October 1. Mark your calendars: the full Season 5 calendar drops on September 14! Welcome Your New Lead Community Manager We’d like to take a moment and allow your new Lead Community Manager to introduce himself so without further ado here he is… Greetings Travelers! My name is Mickey, and I'd like to introduce myself as your new Lead Community Manager for Eleventh Hour Games ! I've just recently started with the team, but I have been a Last Epoch player for more than 3 years, plus thousands of hours across Action RPGs since the original Diablo. I've been lucky enough to work around the gaming industry for over 19 years now, and landed here at EHG as soon as I could! My mission will be connecting with our players and fans, and better understanding what makes the experience of Last Epoch special for you all. I'll be working alongside some folks you've already met, like Vandryll and Derrick, to ensure the player experience is as good as can be, and help equip the development team with the information they need to keep making great games. The first thing I did on arrival was ask to hear everything there is to know about Season 5, and I can confirm it's going to be an awesome time. You'll have to wait for the official countdown that is just around the corner if you want all the details! I'm happy to be here just in time to support this launch, and work towards long term plans for Last Epoch: Orobyss and beyond. Although I’ve been a member of the Last Epoch community for a while, I want to ask: what do YOU think a new Community Manager should know when they begin? You can let me know in the replies, or reach out wherever you see me chatting with our players: Discord, Reddit, Twitch, in-game… you name it, I’ll be there! - EHG_Mickey Pets of Epoch: Orion This month we introduce you to a beautiful tuxedo/domestic shorthair kitty from our very own DiJi. Say hello to Orion ! Named after Orion's Belt (though not for any astrological reasons, she's simply a big fan of Men in Black), this ten-year-old charmer has more personality than most builds we feature. So, if Orion were a Class or Mastery in Last Epoch, what would he be? Honestly, none of them! He'd skip the fight entirely and want to be an NPC in town. Orion is a lover, not a fighter, and he much prefers the safety and comfort of a town to anything resembling combat. Think less "endgame boss" and more "friendly merchant you visit for a chat and a head scratch." Name: Orion Age: 10 years old Would-be Class/Mastery: None. He is happiest as a town NPC, safe and protected. Thanks for sharing your best friend with us, DiJi! Mike's Teasers Mike was busy again this month. He shared a first look at multiple uniques coming in Season 5, but we’re surprising you all with something all-new this Eterra Monthly: A brand-new reveal! Take a look at these gloves that open up some new possibilities by giving you Haste and Frenzy. These are called Gift of the Eidolon. Mike will have more about this and other reveals on Friday’s stream! Check out the rest of the reveals from August below too! Stay tuned there's more where that came from as we get closer to launch. Wrapping Up That's a wrap for the final edition of Eterra Monthly before the launch of Season 5: Rage of the Frostborn! From the countdown to Season 5 to a new face joining our community team and Orion stealing hearts in Pets of Epoch plus another brand new reveal, there's a lot to look forward to over the coming weeks. Be ready on September 14 for the full Countdown to Season 5 calendar. After that the rage is unleashed on October 1! See you in Eterra!

Hello Travelers, Welcome to the July edition of Eterra Monthly! We know Season 5 is on everyone's mind and we are excited to share in this month’s edition: The Season 5 teaser trailer and release date! Additionally, we've got a build spotlight on a Bleed Bladedancer from Max Pita. We're also giving you a glimpse into our furry friends in a new feature called Pets of Epoch. Season 5 Teaser Trailer We know you’ve all been itching for it and here it is, the Season 5 teaser trailer. Welcome to Rage of the Frostborn! Build Spotlight This month's build comes from Max . This is a mobile bleed build built around Dancing Strikes, using dash attacks and Shurikens to stack bleed on everything nearby, then popping it with Puncture. The build leans on attack speed as its core stat. More attack speed means more Dancing Strikes, which stacks Trickling Cuts for extra damage over time and converts a portion of that attack speed straight into more bleed damage. Shurikens orbit as a Blade Shield, pierce through enemies, and shred physical resistance to open enemies up for more bleed damage. Puncture closes the loop, detonating built-up bleed for burst damage on tougher targets. Salt the Wound converts critical strike multiplier into physical penetration for bleed, which is why the build stacks crit multiplier despite never landing a crit. Gear centers on the Weaver set, using two Weaver weapons (Ataraxia and Weaver's Gift) for the set bonus, with melee attack speed as the top gearing priority. Strengths: High bleed chance and damage over time Strong AoE clear via Shurikens and Blade Storm Good mobility with Dancing Strikes and Shift Explosive single-target burst via Puncture Weakness: Gear-dependent (Weaver weapons are hard to acquire) Low health pool limits pushing higher corruption Requires careful stacking of attack speed and crit multiplier to work Not a beginner-friendly build Pets of Epoch: Archie Welcome to Pets of Epoch, where we take a peek into Eleventh Hour Games’ very own furry loved ones. In today’s highlight, we’d like to introduce you to EHG_Muffin’s precious Chihuahua, Archie! Name: Archie Age: 2 years old If they were a Class or Mastery in Last Epoch, what would they be? Rogue 100% - He is an agile little thing! If you were to ask Muffin about this little cutie pie, he’d say that Archie is the goofiest dog. He also loves to cuddle and often wakes up with him lying on his pillow, nestled and cozy. He loves to eat ice cubes, loves to roll and flop around on the carpet like a weirdo. Mike’s Teasers We shared Perilous Reflection this month during one of our Dev Q&A streams, ahead of Mike taking a well-deserved break. What’s next? That's a wrap on another Eterra Monthly. In August, we will be hard at work getting Season 5 ready for you all and can’t wait to share more details with you all.

Hello Travelers, Spring has come and gone and as we enter the warmer months of summer the team continues development on Season 5 and Last Epoch: Orobyss. This edition of Eterra Monthly looks at what you’ve done in Season 4. From what masteries and classes are most popular to what Idol Altars you use the most, it’s always fun to look at the numbers. We also dive into an Ignite Werebear build, and teasers from Mike’s streams. Season 4 by the numbers From shattering Omens to corrupting items and everything in between, Season 4 has been defined by the choices you made and the builds you brought to life. Every class found its footing, masteries left their mark, and the uniques you gravitated toward tell a story all their own. Check out the incredible stats below and see how your journey stacks up against the rest of Eterra. Mike’s Teasers Build Spotlight This month's build comes from SeagraveGaming. This mobile werebear focuses on spreading ignite to large groups of enemies while looking cool doing it. This build relies on the ability to spread your damage via AoE while creating earthquakes as you are evading or using Maul. The key here is to also leverage aftershocks from idols that activate when you perform melee attacks. All of the bleed chances are converted to ignite chance, thanks to Maehlin's Hubris. With Wildfire Embers equipped, ignite spreads while Bhuldar's Wrath ensures Earthquake procs. To improve survivability and mobility with this hit-and-run play style, Titan Heart and Ash Wake are used. Strengths: High Ignite Chance Fire damage over time Higher Evade charges Group Clear Focus Weakness: Requires constant moving Focuses on damaging enemies over time Slower Boss engagement Idol Aftershock dependent What’s next? Well, that’s a wrap of June’s Eterra Monthly. Next month we’ll hopefully have more details about Season 5 so stay tuned.
