Corrupting Darkness and Purifying Light: New Champions for Season 8!

by Champions Arena | Nov 30, 2023 | Gala Games

Azazel and Bishop are entering the battle, just in time for Season 8 in Champions Arena!

Arena Season 8 has already begun, and two new Champions have stepped into the battle!

Our new Champions this time are both the same and opposite, depending on your perspective. On one side we have the fallen angel, seeking comfort in the chaos after everything was ripped away from her for a simple shred of doubt. On the other we have the survivor, a broken man, driven to take his vengeance out on all evil he encounters.

Welcome to Bishop and Azazel!

Check them out on the Gala Games YouTube!

Both of these Champions share one common thread– they have nothing to lose. They are fully dedicated to their fight in the arena… no matter the cost.

Azazel, Fallen Angel

Azazel was once a paragon of nobility… champion of the Avatar Guardians. Oh, how the mighty have fallen.

Cast out, Azazel has learned the ways of the demons of Ka-Drax. Her fighting tactics rely on deep magic few can duplicate. She’ll reinvigorate her friends even as she saps her enemies. All of her attacks will deal damage based on the highest Attack among all party members rather than her own Attack.

Normal Attack will strike out at an enemy while simultaneously healing the ally with the lowest current HP. A card match will also cause her to gain Mana.

Spell Orb will attack an enemy with larger damage and grant Mana to Azazel. A card match will cause some of the damage caused by Spell Orb to heal the ally with the current lowest HP.

Curse Explosion deals damage to all enemies, inflicting Crit Rate Down. A card match will cause the Skill to grant a barrier to all allies based on Azazel’s Attack.

Pain Siphon allows Azazel to strike back immediately at an opponent whenever they deal a Critical Strike to an ally. When this activates, Azazel will also increase her Turn Gauge.

Bishop, Indomitable Exorcist

A monster took everything Bishop loved away. Now he’ll take everything from every monster.

Bishop had only started to get what he wanted from life when the vampire took everything he loved. He couldn’t save her, and he never forgets it for a second. He won’t fail to save anyone again. Every bullet is designed to end the life of something wicked.

Normal Attack deals damage to a single enemy based on Attack. A card match will increase the damage.

Critical Draw deals damage to a single enemy Attack. A card match will increase the damage.

Rumble Shuffle deals damage to a single enemy Attack. A card match will grant Bishop Overload. If Bishop already has Overload, he will instead receive a x2 multiplier to his Crit Power for the same duration.

Overload is a buff given by Rumble Shuffle. When Bishop has this status, he will gain additional Crit Power for each debuff on the enemy.

Let the Battle Begin!

Will you search your summons for the alluring darkness or the searing light? Either side you choose, the battle is coming.

Just as with previous new Champions, these two newcomers will have an increased chance to be summoned and will receive a VP boost in battles.

Just like always, these Champions are only available through in-game summons. This means the first to find them will be members of a very exclusive club, if only for a short time until more start to enter the fray!

Good luck out there Champions, whether you choose the light or the dark!

Eternal Paradox | The Bianca Chronicles 2: The Darkest Night

by Eternal Paradox | Nov 29, 2023 | Bianca, EPXLore, Eternal Paradox, Gala Games

Rise in yer east and go set in yer west, through darkest night Captain Bianca knows best.

The torchlight flickered and danced upon the faces of the marauders, casting grotesque shadows that stretched and writhed upon the walls of Bianca’s beloved cottage. Fear gripped her youthful heart like an icy claw, but she remained crouched in the darkness, her eyes fixed on the pirate gang.

Desperate for a better vantage and some plan of attack, Bianca darted through the black to the side lawn of the cottage, where she could see, hear and smell the action through a well-lighted open window.

The pirates, their voices raucous and breath laced with the stench of rum, burst through the cottage door with weapons glinting menacingly in the firelight. Perkins and Clara stood defiantly before the pending onslaught.

With his weathered hands gripping the hilt of his old sword, Perkins spoke in a voice that trembled with age but not fear. “We knew you would come,” he said, his eyes unwavering. “We were ready.”

The pirates laughed — a harsh, mocking sound that echoed through the small cottage. “Ready to meet your maker, old man?” the leader sneered, his face obscured by a dark hood.

Perkins met the pirate’s gaze without flinching. “Ready to protect those we love,” he replied, his voice firm.

The jagged laughing response from the hooded man chilled Bianca’s soul. He took a full and indulgent cackle, then paused with a sigh and spoke plainly: “Where is the brat?”

Perkins’ words came out as a defiant curse: “The king left her in our protection, and she will never be yours.”

“Y’old fool,” replied the cold voice, “We only mean to kill her.” The band laughed heartlessly at this.

Clara, her frail form standing tall beside her husband, raised her hand, her palm glowing with an ethereal light. “You will not find her,” she said, her voice laced with magic.

The pirates, momentarily confused and stunned by Clara’s display of power, hesitated. But their hesitation was short-lived. With a wild roar, they lunged with weapons aimed at the old couple.

Bianca watched in horror as the pirates descended upon Perkins and Clara. She longed to rush to their aid, but her legs were frozen with fear, and she knew that Perkins wanted her to run. As he had reminded her so carefully less than an hour before, we run when the fight ain’t ready for us.

Perkins fought valiantly, sparks from his sword flashing in the dim light as six pirates fell by his hand, but he was no match for the overwhelming number of attackers. Clara, her defensive magic failing to hold back the tide of violence, collapsed to her knees with wide eyes full of rebellion and rage.

With a final desperate lunge, Perkins fell to the ground, his sword clattering away and blood pooling below him. The pirates turned their contorted faces to Clara.

“No!” Bianca screamed, her voice echoing through the night.

But her plea was too late. A pirate’s blade pierced Clara’s heart, and she slumped to the floor, lifeless. With one final heroic burst of energy, Perkins jumped to his feet and bound with impossible quickness to the corner where Bianca’s sabers were leaning against the wall. He picked them up and tossed them immediately out the window, knowing Bianca was there and issuing a blood-gurgling cry of “Flee, child!”

As she ran, Bianca’s world shattered. The old couple, who had been her surrogate parents, her confidantes, her friends, were gone, taken by the cruel hand of fate. The pirates gave chase, but she knew they would not catch her in the darkness. She knew the grounds too well to allow it.

A few minutes later the pirates had given up their chase. Tears streamed down her face as she watched from a distance as they ransacked the cottage, their greed insatiable. They took everything they could find — the precious trinkets Clara had collected over the years, the tools Perkins used for his fishing boat, even the food from their larder.

When the pirates finally left, the cottage was in ruins, its warmth and laughter replaced by an emptiness that echoed in Bianca’s soul. Then fire engulfed the cottage.

She stumbled off into the night, her legs weak and trembling. She smelled the sea, once a source of comfort and adventure, but it now felt vast and unforgiving.

She had lost everything she held dear. Her home, her family, her sense of security. All that remained was a burning desire for vengeance, a need to make the pirates pay for their crimes.

As she crept along behind the pirates, she fantasized about attacking. She wondered how many she could kill, but even if she could manage all of them, it was not enough. Bianca made a vow. She would become a pirate, a force to be reckoned with, a legend that would strike fear into the hearts of those who dared to cross her path. Only then could she manage the punishment that these wicked creatures deserved for their crimes.

She would never forget Perkins and Clara, and their sacrifice would not be in vain. She would use her skills, her knowledge, and her newfound determination to avenge their deaths and bring justice to the world.

The darkest night had arrived, but Bianca had faced it and survived. She would emerge from the shadows, stronger and more determined than ever before. The sea was hers, and she would make them all know it.

Aiden’s the Eagles’ delight,

by Legends Reborn Age of Chance | Nov 28, 2023 | Gala Games

Aiden's the Eagles' delight,

Who fights for what's good, true and right,

But at risk to offend,

If his hair catches wind,

He's liable to take sudden flight.

Aiden’s Call 1: Guardian’s Crest

by Eternal Paradox | Nov 27, 2023 | Aiden, EPXLore, Gala Games

A wilderness trial shapes the destiny of a young leader in this thrilling origin tale of courage and destiny.

There are few in Elysium with a noble heart like Aiden’s. As the one who carries on the legacy of the Guardian Angels Mercenary clan, Aiden has seen both fame and notoriety. Those whom the Guardians have assisted are eternally grateful and owe their lives to the clan. Those who have not yet experienced the clan’s selfless saving power are doubtful at best, and outright hateful at worst of this strange Mercenary clan.

Of course, not everyone agrees with good for the sake of good. Evil exists in the hearts of many people, in our world as well as Elysium. Therefore the Guardian Angels have also learned to defend and destroy when necessary. As Aiden’s father often said, when there is no recourse, evil must be blotted out from the world without mercy or hesitation.

Typically a clan of Mercenaries exists to help itself and its members, but the mission of the Guardian Angels is to protect the innocent and the weak, the orphans and the widows, those for whom life has been hard. Elysium was good to Aiden’s family, allowing them to organize a new type of clan, one that builds its ranks through service and charity, like the Arthurian knights of legend in this world.

Aiden’s story begins when he was only 16, when he was anointed by the Aigles from above to prosper the clan of his father for the peace and glory of all Elysium.

Each youth in the clan must face a wilderness challenge shortly after their sixteenth birthday, called the Journey of the Spirit. The seven day and night fast takes the youth unarmed through some of the most unforgiving terrain on the continent. For Aiden’s journey, a mighty storm followed him the entire way. By evening of the seventh day, after facing a mighty and ravenous crow, Aiden was hurt and disheartened. His journey was nearly over, but he wondered if he truly had the mettle and the heart to lead.

Just then an eagle flew over his head and spoke to Aiden in the voice of the wind. “Take heart,” it said, “for your battle is not on the ground, but in the air.” The eagle flapped its wings once and a cloud formed. Then the cloud became an image of the great shield that would become known as the Guardian’s Crest, the heart of the Guardian Angels. The storm finally broke, and Aiden was filled with peace and confidence as he had never felt before; the strength to persevere entered his body. He no longer doubted or feared his life’s purpose.

Though to this day Aiden does not fully understand the meaning of the eagle’s prophecy, he does his best to live by it. Following his vision, Aiden’s father was visited by an eagle as well, which told him to pass the reigns to his noble son for the good of the clan and for the good of all Elysium.

Song of Aiden | Part 1

Alone in the wild, with wings beating true,
An eagle above was there sent to renew
A servant of servants who felt for the lost,
And looked for a path through the trials he crossed.

The Guardians Angels, whose deeds are renowned,
Protect all the innocent on sacred ground.
Yet not all who breathe will so welcome such grace,
For some doubt their purpose and shun their embrace.

For evil’s grim shadow, it lurks and it thrives,
In Elysium’s depths, where the darkness connives.
To combat this shadow, the Guardians stand,
Defenders of justice, with unwavering hand.

When Aiden arose, at his sixteen years’ call,
He was blessed by the Aigles to lead and enthrall.
In Journey of Spirit, a test of his might,
He fought seven days, through the darkness’s blight.

Unarmed he ventured, through wilderness dread,
A mighty storm raging and close at his head.
Battered and bruised by a crow’s fierce attack,
Regret filled his heart and his spirit did lack.

But skyward an Aigle, with golden wings grand,
Whispered in wind’s voice a soothing command:
“Your battle lies not on the sullen, dry ground,
But soaring above, where true valor is found.”

A cloud then transformed to a shimmering shield:
The Guardian’s Crest, and a purpose revealed.
Peace and assurance, a newfound delight,
Filled Aiden with wonder before the dark night.

Though prophecy’s meaning is veiled in mystique,
The ones who shall hear are the ones who shall seek.
His father’s new vision, a bright guiding call,
To lead then the Guardian Angels for all.
