Warbirds have always been part of the survival strategy for people on the Ursee, together with their riders, the falconeers. Warbirds use thermals and potential energy to glide and fly as efficiently as possible. As a Falconeer, the player will need to use altitude, naturally occurring thermals and the bird’s natural grace to attain speed and advantageous combat positions and navigate difficult environments.
If the bird has enough energy it can perform rolls that are unique to natural flight. They can barrel roll or twist mid-air and turn the tables on opponents
Stats
There are different stats that affect the Warbirds the player rides upon. Leveling will improve your stats over time, but mutagens and chants also affect these.
- Agility – affects turning radius and handling.
- Speed - affects general speed and acceleration.
- Energy –energy is required to perform dashes and rolls.
- Health - affects total health.
- Regeneration – recover lost health over time.
In other words, the warbird determines your speed, agility, and movement ability, while the falconeer class determines how much damage you can do.
Bird types
To purchase new birds, you must complete an obstacle course marked by a torch on the map, near the purchase location. Once complete, the bird will be available to buy.
