Passive powers play an important role in the PvP-focused MMORPG Crowfall. These powers have now been introduced in more detail.
A passive power is an ability that unfolds without your involvement. For example, when your hitpoints regenerate just by standing still. You do not need to activate these powers, as is the case with spells or attacks.
In Crowfall, these passive abilities are very powerful. Therefore, they are also limited. You cannot possess an infinite number of passive abilities; you must choose a few that seem most important to you. This adds a strategic component.
Passive but still active
By opening the menu of passive powers, you can see which ones you can select. From those, you choose the ones you really want to use. All others remain unused. However, you can change the “active” passive abilities at any time and select others.
This depends on the specific situation you are in. The passive powers available to you depend on your chosen class and your race. Not everyone can use the same abilities.
Many combination possibilities
As passive powers, you have options like “boosts” for collecting resources that allow you to gather resources faster. Or you reduce the power costs of a particularly powerful weapon, enabling you to use it more effectively. If you are a born leader, you can activate the skill “Group Leadership,” which grants a buff to everyone in your party.
Moreover, there is the possibility to choose passive skills in such a way that they provide a sort of combo effect. What those are, you will have to find out in the game. There are said to be a large number of possible combinations.
The MMORPG Crowfall is currently in an alpha phase. The developers are currently working towards a soft launch.
