SpiritVale Update 0.35 Adds Dragon Knight Class and Status Damage Changes

Posted on by

SpiritVale’s Update 0.35 went live on October 30 after scheduled maintenance, adding Dragon Knight as a new advanced class for Knight players in the Steam Early Access MMORPG.

Dragon Knight unlocks at Job Lv.50 and requires players to bring the Master one conquered relic: Fierceness of Conquered Fire, Tenacity of Conquered Earth, or Celerity of Conquered Wind. The class is built around spear skills, dragon transformations, and Dragon Soul options tied to fire, wind, and earth.

  • Dragon Knight adds movement-heavy spear attacks like Serpent Bite, Drake’s Maw, Twin Storms, Sky’s Reach, Vouivre Talon, and Dragon’s Dance.
  • Dragon Souls let players transform into dragons, with Pyrescale, Stormscale, and Rockscale variants offering different offensive and defensive bonuses.
  • New Dragon Knight grimoires can alter skills, including options to summon dragons instead of transforming, extend Sky’s Reach, or change how Odin Sphere, Volcanic Rage, and Boulder Run behave.
  • The update adds new spears, offhands, soul orbs, heirlooms, and the Crimson and Ebony Dragon Knight armor set.
  • Status damage has been roughly doubled and now scales with damage modifiers, though Final Damage is excluded.
  • Bleeding, Poison, Decay, and Anathema now deal 3% max HP per tick, and statuses now apply before block.

The patch also adjusts how multi-hit skills apply stackable statuses, with each hit now able to apply a stack instead of only once per cast. That should matter for builds leaning into damage-over-time effects or rapid-hit skills.

There are a handful of broader balance and quality-of-life changes too. Dark Claw now scales differently by level, Judgement Blade has a larger area, Guardian Bond, Fury Bond, and Death Bond can be self-cast, and some Necromancer grimoire bonuses have been reduced. Auto-attacks also no longer resume automatically after using a skill.

SpiritVale remains in Steam Early Access and is developed by a solo creator, so this is a fairly chunky class-focused update rather than a small balance pass.
