- Troop Enhancement #4 - Hornet - 30 December 2023
Hello Commanders, Today, I will be presenting the passive skills of the final minion type you will meet in this demo version of Warkestra, the Hornets. As the only flying type minion in Warkestra, the Hornets' Passive skills largely focus on sleep and self-destruction. Double Sleep: The Hornets will be able to put two enemies to sleep, buying you critical time. Wide Self Destruct: The range of the self-destruction attack will notably increase, enabling you to take out a wider array of enemies. However, this comes at the cost of a decrease in the damage dealt. Thank you for joining us on this inside look at the Hornets' skills. As we continue to design and balance the units in Warkestra, we're excited to hear your feedback and see how these tactics enhance your gameplay experiences. Happy gaming!
- Artifacts Introduction #4 - Spear - 27 December 2023
Hello there, Today, we're excited to introduce the final artifact: the Spear. The Spear, similar to the Glove, does not have any combos but can pierce through enemies when charged. Just like the Glove, your movement speed decreases while charging the Spear. The Spear pairs excellently with Hornets. The more Hornets you have attacking alongside the Spear, the faster you can trigger its special effect: the lightning storm. We hope you find the Spear a thrilling addition to your Warkestra arsenal. Remember that understanding the unique attributes and synergies of each weapon makes you not just a player, but a strategist. With these valuable insights, you are well-positioned to master the dynamic battlescape and lead your army to stunning victories. Now, time to unleash the power of your Spear and create some real electrical storms on the battlefield! Keep up the spirit, and let the adventu…

- Troop Enhancement #3 - Golem - 20 December 2023
Hi fellow gamers, Today, we will look into the passive skills of the mighty Golems in Warkestra. As expected, the Golems' passive abilities are primarily centered around defense. Throw as Base Attack: The Golem's basic attack will change to a range throw. While it compromises a bit on damage, it allows continuous ranged attacks, thus keeping enemies at bay. Small Projection Shield: The Golem's shield can block all incoming small projectiles, fortifying its defense and providing crucial protection in battle. Mud Transform: The Golems lose their invulnerability but in exchange, they gain a 'Mud' effect that slows down the movement speed of all surrounding enemies. This skill is particularly effective when trying to create some space between your Golems and rushing attackers. Thank you for joining us as we delve deeper into the strategies and abilities of our Golem units. We are enthusiast…
- Artifacts Introduction #3 - Glove - 18 December 2023
Hello there, Today we are thrilled to present you with the third and unique mid-range attack artifact: the Glove. The Glove operates without any combo sequence but instead fires projectiles immediately. You can also charge it by holding down the left mouse button. When fully charged, you can release a massive four-shot attack that can deal significant damage to enemies. However, be aware that your movement speed decreases during charging. The Glove pairs well with Archers. The more Archers attack, the quicker you can stack and trigger its unique effect: the slow-down debuff. Remember, honing your skills and understanding how various game elements interact is key to becoming a triumphant strategist in the world of Warkestra. With the Glove artifact and your team of Archers, you're set to slow down the opposition and lead your troops to victory. We're excited to see you put these lessons…
- Troop Enhancement #2 - Archers - 15 December 2023
Greetings Commanders, Today, let's delve into the particular passive skills of one of our most invaluable troops - the Archers. Designed to deliver increased damage under specific circumstances, these skills can be the game-changers in the heat of battle. Standing Shot This skill boosts the Archers' base damage when they attack while standing still. The arrows light up with a red hue. Charged Shot Think quality over quantity - while the attack speed might slow down, the damage of the Archers' base attack increases significantly. The Archers shoot bigger arrows. Focused Rapid Shot This transforms your Archer's Rapid Shot: while only one arrow is fired, the attack's damage gets a substantial upgrade. Elite Archer If the number of Archers in your unit are fewer than four, the overall abilities of the Archers, including movement speed, are enhanced. This overview of the Archers' passive ski…

- Artifacts Introduction #2 - Sword - 11 December 2023
Hello there, Today, I'm excited to introduce to you the second artifact a player can equip: the Sword. The Sword artifact operates on a 3-step combo. If the first two attack is connected as a combo, the last attack's speed will increase. Moreover, the Sword pairs quite well with the Warriors. The more Warriors attack, the quicker you can stack, and trigger its special effect: a widespread continuous damage debuff. We hope this guide gives you a deeper insight into the unique dynamics of the Sword artifact and its effective combination with Warriors. Remember, discovering and mastering these relationships between artifacts and different elements within the game is part of your journey to becoming the ultimate strategist. Continue forging ahead with your warriors. May your battles prove victorious and your adventures thrilling in the world of Warkestra.
- Voice recognition and Intent analysis technology #3 - 8 December 2023
Hello there, Today, I would like to talk about advanced voice commands. In Warkestra, you can use attack commands in various ways. Here are some methods to make full use of these features. These are commands to specify the attack direction. Remember, all direction commands are based on the player's point of view, guiding your forces. In particular, attacking from behind can help you reap great efficiency if the Back Attack skill is unlocked. You can also command to attack while rotating around a target. You can use the commands "Clockwise" and "Counterclockwise." By using all the voice command techniques, you are sure to be victorious in clearing all stages of 'Warkestra'!

- Game Guide #3 - Efficient Voice Command Tips - 5 December 2023
Hello Commanders. Today, I plan to explain a method that can help you conduct battles more efficiently using voice commands. This is a feature that allows you to specify the number of minions using a skill. Each of the active skills of your troops can be used by specifying the number of minions who can make use of them. As each type of troop has unique skills, you do not need to specify who needs to use the skill. You can simplify the command like this: Warrior (Skill: Jump Strike, Taunt) If you want two Warriors to use jump strike to Archers, you can say, "Two jump to Archers" To get only one Warrior to taunt, say, "One taunt!" Archer (Skill: Ice Arrow) "Two Archers use ice arrow to Warriors" can be shortened to "Two ice to Warriors" Golem (Skill: Throw, Shield, Transform) Say "Four, throw to Archers." to get four Golems to use the throw skill to Archers. "One shield." will command one…

- Game Guide #2 - Stack System and Explosion Effects - 4 December 2023
Hello there, Today, we're eager to delve into explaining the stack system and the explosion effects in our game. Apart from the base weapon, there are four different weapons you can use that correspond with each minion. Because the corresponding minion can add to the stacks of your weapon, which minions you choose to hire when entering a stage will strategically affect the outcomes. The attack stacks are displayed incrementally over the heads of your target. Fine-tune your approach based on these dynamics and shape your own unique strategies! https://oopy.lazyrockets.com/api/v2/notion/image?src=https%3A%2F%2Fprod-files-secure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com%2F322d1bb5-d326-4bd2-9602-68c000609303%2F9f75375e-193f-4507-a27e-047bdd6f1921%2Fguide02222.png&blockId=9c2bdfc3-6b4f-4957-87e8-e688e6791066
- Game Guide #1 - The Voice Input System in Warkestra - 2 December 2023
Hello all, Today, we thought it would be helpful to explain the voice input methods used in, our voice and intention recognition game, Warkestra. Voice input is a crucial aspect of Warkestra, and there are two input methods for this. First, we have the walkie-talkie style, which is the default method. Here, you can communicate by pressing and holding the left Shift key while speaking, similar to using a walkie-talkie. Once the Shift key is released, the command is processed instantly. This is a speedy method which helps avoid any unnecessary noise or unwanted input, and hence, we've set it as default. The second method is an 'Always' mode. While you're playing the game, our AI continuously checks for your voice and automatically catches and recognizes in-game commands. This method is convenient as it eliminates constant key pressing, however, it may not match the speed and accuracy of t…
- Minor Update and Bug Fix - 1 December 2023

Re-balanced Golem HP. Resources have been modified to improve the readability of in-game messages. A new feature has been added where minions will proactively shout out their skills. Fixed a bug that prevented battles from ending and stopped the game progression. Fixed Rapid arrow damage bug. We hope this gives more clarity to the game.
