Proving Ceremony

If a player believes that their Virtue is too weak, they can request a buff on the discord in the “Request Buffs” section. Other players will then vote on if they think the player needs a buff. After one day of the request being created, if there are twice as many votes to buff as votes not to buff, the player who requested the buff can begin a Proving Ceremony at any point that they chose.

The Proving Ceremony consists of one Beholder battling waves of Bastions without their Virtue. The Bastions will appear all around them in turret form and start shooting shortly after appearing. Defeat 30 Bastions to win. Note all of the following:

The Bastions shoot in intervals. You can tell that one is about to shoot when it catches on fire. Bastions take 3x damage, but briefly after being hit will lose that damage vulnerability. They cannot heal, but if a Bastion is left in turret form for too long, it will use its ultimate.

The player will have a 25% damage nerf. Critical hits on Bastions will do 3x more damage than normal. To make up for this, heroes that can’t headshot deal 50% more damage. Meleeing a Bastion will freeze it for 3 seconds, but this can only be done every 10 seconds. Using a knockback ability on a Bastion will knock it over for 3 seconds. Health packs are disabled and all forms of self-healing are cut down 75%.

Important:

If you don’t attack or stay in the same area for long enough, you will begin to build Fear. The more Fear you have, the slower you will move, until you turn to stone and lose. Make sure to always be looking around for more Bastions.

Any burst attacks that deal 300 damage or more will heal you slightly and give you a 10 second damage boost, but will also build pride. Pride causes you to take more damage and causes Bastions to shoot faster and more frequently. You’ll know you got a pride kill if you see fire, and the longer you see fire the more pride you’ve accumulated.

You’ll have three attempts to complete the Proving Ceremony per day if you want to buff your Virtue. If you’re trying the Proving Ceremony for the Blasphemer Pilgrimage, you’ll have three tries per day, and each time you complete it with a different hero than you’ve completed it with that day, you’ll add to your fortune. You can attempt the Proving Ceremony at any time for practice or for fun with the code CXV05.
