■ Hero Items: Hero Relics and Hero Memories

We’ve been treating heroes as one of the most important features in Torchlight: Infinite, this is also the biggest difference between Torchlight: Infinite and other ARPGs. Hero Traits are the first choice Hunters need to decide on after they step on Leptis, to further improve the combat styles that come with the Hero Traits and add more details to heroes’ background stories, we decide to introduce a brand new “Hero Items” system to the new season.

“Hero Items” consist of “Hero Relics” and “Hero Memories”.

In the new season, your Hero Trait can be equipped with one Hero Relic. In terms of story design, it is a supplement to heroes’ settings and background stories. And in terms of feature design, it contributes two affixes closely related to the Hero Trait.

For example, Carino’s Hero Trait Lethal Flash has an exclusive Hero Relic called “Tina’s Withered Flower”. Tina was Carino’s most respected mentor, but she ended up being infected by Aember and turned into an Agito, so the withered flower represents Tina’s regrets. Meanwhile, both affixes of the Hero Relic—Projectile Quantity and Reloading Speed —can significantly improve Lethal Flash.

What’s more important is that Hero Relics will be the carriers of Hero Memories. Up to 5 Hero Memories can be socketed in one Hero Relic. The detailed number and slots of Hero Memories allowed to be socketed can be viewed at the slots.

Hero Memories can also offer random powerful affixes. For example, Hero Memory “Regicide Eve” can increase trait Lethal Flash’s Reloading Speed, Magazine Capacity, and Reloading Quantity while using Mobility Skills.

In terms of acquisition, as an important part of hero development, Hero Relics and Hero Memories are both battle drops and not related to any paid content. Powerful Legendary Hero Items have to be obtained from the gameplay of the new season just like what’s shown in the screenshot. Legendary Hero Items come with more unique affixes but are also more precious.

An ordinary Hero Relic usually has 1 to 3 slots. Some rare Legendary Hero Relics, such as Heart of Ethereal Realm, can be applied to any Hero Trait and offer 4 to 5 Hero Memory slots.

Some other rare Legendary Hero Relics, such as Chaotic Oracle, can also be applied to any Hero Trait but will bring other types of improvement.

We know that everyone wants to know if Hero Items can be traded in the Trade House, and the answer is yes. As a new element in build-making, all Hero Items can be traded just like other gear in the Trade House. Exact searching and searching by category are both supported.

That’s all there is to know about the season’s gameplay and the new system’s Hero Items. We are currently undergoing frequent testing and adjustments in order to bring a new gaming experience to hunters when the new season starts on January 12.
