Forum:Dangerous Areas (Fractures)

Forums: Index → Fan Fiction → Dangerous Areas (Fractures)

Dangerous Areas are regions so occupied by the enemy that the area is stuck as a Darkness Zone. Basically, how this works is similar to The Nether. Where you have limited revives, encounters to progress and a gauge to track how aggressive the enemy is and how close they are to attempting to repel you from the area.

Characteristics

This activity type uses revive tokens, so revives are limited. Throughout the activity, you can find destructible pots, and chests. Players can also find secrets throughout the activity. After completing an objective within the area, players receive 2 chests with Public Event level loot. After completing 3 main objectives within the area, a boss fight begins, and the boss is dependent on the specific area where the objectives were completed. However, you are not locked into a fight and can wander between areas in a Dangerous Area marked Region without joining allies or any barriers. The idea is you can do as many encounters as you want. Rewards are based on encounters completed and Bosses slain. So, the better the performance the better the score.

All Dangerous Areas have an enemy strength %, this dictates how much resistance the enemy can muster and how long a Dangerous Area will remain that way, if it hits below 50% a Dangerous Area loses its limited revives.

Active Modifiers

All Dangerous Areas have these modifiers which change based on Enemy strength in the Dangerous Area. Note: A Dangerous Area with enemy strength below 40% ceases to be a Dangerous Areas as almost all modifiers are disabled. With lower enemy strength causing the area to be easier and easier.
