SkyWars | Item & Kit Update

Written by Philbotumblr

Hey-ya Minecrafters,

Brace yourselves: In the next SkyWars update you can not only expect new maps and kits, but also reworked kits, brand new items in the loot drops and some other small improvements.
We not only want to bring a breath of fresh air to the rounds with the new features, but have also made some adjustments to maximize the gaming experience.


» Kits

There have been some changes to the kits. We had to discontinue three kits - the Allrounder, the Wizard and the Bee - as they were not as fun to play as we had hoped in their previous form.
We have also reworked the following kits:

Reworked Kits
Stomper
The stomp ability is changed visually and technically, so we say goodbye to claws on the ground. Now it's a real impact, like when using the mace. Players hit by the stomp take 6 damage and are thrown into the air. 

Warden
There are also some changes to the Warden kit. The beam can now also destroy blocks and the cooldown of the ability is 30 seconds.

Poseidon
The trident was previously generally enchanted with loyalty, which made it possible for other players to use the trident like a Poseidon player when it is dropped. The item is now only given to Riptide after the Poseidon player dies.

Cloud
We've listened to your feedback and removed the fall damage you would receive when hitting your cloud platform. Also, you now get Speed I during the cloud phase

For more detailed information, we recommend reading the changelog.

In addition to the Bandit kit, which we are bringing back to the game in a new form, there are four other new kits!
The Bandit drops all items when he kills a player, including the items with Curse of Vanishing. He can now also steal and use other kit items, such as the Switcherball, the Cloud Bridge, the Grappling Hook and many more.

With the new Dog Whisperer kit, you start with 3 tame wolves to support you in your battles. However, if they are killed, each wolf takes 20 seconds to respawn. However, if you kill a player, you will automatically receive armor for a wolf and a new wolf in general.

Are you annoyed by your opponent's equipment? You can use the Nightmage to deactivate kit items and abilities for 15 seconds. You have to make sure that you actually hit your opponent with your kit item.

Do you like the new Wind Charges? Then the new Airbender kit is just the thing for you. It gives you a gust of wind that you can use to repeatedly blow your opponents away from you, as well as a speed effect for a short time.

Last but not least, we have the new Witch kit, which offers you three bats for support. The winged helpers can either provide you with positive potions such as regeneration or blast your opponents away with negative effects.


» Loot and Items

The loot pool will also change, especially with regard to loot drops. Only one type of new item can be in the drop at any one time.

New Items
Shieldbreaker
The Shieldbreaker is a placeable item that deactivates shields in a visible radius. Once placed, the shield breaker takes three seconds to activate and then remains active for five seconds.

Fireball
Do you want to disrupt your opponents' bridging like in BedWars? Here, too, there is now the fireball, which causes an explosion on impact that damages the player and the blocks.

Golden heart
The golden heart does not give you 2 extra hearts and regeneration like a normal golden apple, but gives you 4 hearts immediately.

Instant TNT
No lighter at hand to ignite TNT? No problem with the Instant TNT, which ignites when placed.

Other minor changes are that item spreading has been reduced and the crafting recipe for bows has been deactivated.


» Maps

In addition to the kits and items, we also wanted to give you a little variety in terms of where you fight. You can look forward to six new maps!
