Two new talismans have been added into the game:
- Guard Talismans (Green): 3 set bonus for 2 turns of Guard Shield at the start of combat. Guard Shield reduces all damage by 25% and increases special gained when taking damage.
- Enduring Talismans (Blue): 3 set bonus for 3 turns of Endure at the start of combat. Endure makes it so the character cannot go below 1 HP (unless suffering from Permadeath).
If a single character has multiple sets equipped, the start of battle status effect lasts longer (amount of extra turns is multiplied by the amount of sets).
Each of the 3 subtypes per talisman will be available to purchase from the PVP Store once a week. Guard Talismans will be 400 Iron Coins each, and Enduring Talismans will be 500 Iron Coins each. These will be available for a limited time (EDIT: these are leaving the store at August 12th, 5 PM PT).
(Note: There are special once-a-day deals also available in the PVP Store between July 8-15, but those will disappear from the store long before these talismans become unavailable. See the Rotating Daily PVP Packs Announcement thread for more information.)
