Chained Beasts' affliction preview explains a trade-off between healing and accepting new disadvantages. The developer describes a large set of physical and mental effects intended to complicate arena runs.

THE ANNOUNCEMENT, EXPLAINED

What to know

Examples affect proximity to teammates, skill or shop choices, and which ally the camera follows. The post previews launch content rather than offering a complete build recommendation; use its descriptions to understand the mechanic, then check your installed game's current wording.

Key points

  • Healing can involve taking on an affliction.
  • The preview gives examples with different behavioural effects.
