TERA Godsfall update coming April 17, adds Apex skills

The only thing we knew about Godsfall, the next TERA update, was the release date on PC: April 17. Now, En Masse has revealed all the details on this expansion, which brings some changes to seven of the existing classes in the shape of the new Apex skills.

The Godsfall update introduces a story quest involving time travel for level 65 characters of seven classes with an item level of 439 or higher, going back through time to defeat the dragon Khemadia. Along the way players will unlock a new Apex active or passive skill, enhancing their abilities. The classes that can take part on this quest are the Berserker, Brawler, Lancer, Warrior, Mystic, Priest and Slayer. In a future update, more TERA classes will get their own Apex skills.

Here are a few examples of the new abilities:

• Lancer – Guardian Barrier: Open a moveable defensive wall in front of your character that reflects melee attacks and pushes nearby enemies away, while protecting allies.
• Mystic – Arunic Release: Detonate motes a large areas in front of your character, dealing damage to enemies and providing allies in the affected area with healing regeneration.
• Warrior – Blade Frenzy: Briefly disappear into the shadows, leaving an afterimage to confuse enemies, before emerging in a raging whirlwind of blades.
