If enchanting fails, not only does it consume all the gems used, but is ALSO removes all existing enchantments on the equipment. When enchanting equipment, there's a chance to fail for each enchant level (10% from level 1 to 2, 25% from 2 to 3, 50% from 3 to 4) note In 1, enchanting always worked unless it was level 3 to 4 (50%). Scrappy Mechanic: Item combination in Arcuz 2.Interestingly, Lizardfolk champions can be damaged when their shields are up, as long as they aren't broken.

They're annoying because their attack is easy to spot and avoid, but you can't do jack to them when their shield is up. These assholes have a defensive ability where they stand still and hold up their tiny little shield for a few seconds, which makes them completely immune to every attack from any direction and makes you hurt yourself in the process if you hit them when it's up. The sequel toned all three of these down, making them less of a pain. Goblin Mages have a painful fireball attack, and even more painful meteor strike, and they give very low exp. Goblin Archers will tend to hide behind trees and shoot you which kills your combo. Goblin Warriors have a lot of health despite their small size, move very quickly, and use really annoying tactics like jumping around, backing away from you then using a leap-smash. The sequel replaces the hornets with actual bats, who are just as annoying.

Thankfully, they have low health compared to other Mooks of the same level. They appear with other enemies and LOVE to hit you when you're in the middle of a combo, flinching you and allowing the enemy you're attacking to get in a hit. These guys fly, forcing you to jump to hit them. The main drawback is that you'll pretty much need maximum Mana in order to use the move. This lasts for 16 seconds, although it cannot get backstab bonus unlike Blade Storm. It's like Blade Storm, except that it creates a tornado that follows your mouse cursor instead. The only drawback is that it consumes 90% of your maximum mana. At max level, this lasts for 8 seconds, enough to down bosses in 1-2 uses. This makes your character whirl round in a tornado, doing huge, rapid damage to all mooks around him. However, they did make item enchanting into a Scrappy Mechanic, though.

Even Better Sequel: The second game added in many Anti-Frustration Features (for example, somebody to heal you), stackable items, added more skills, increased the level cap and toned down some of the annoying/dangerous enemies in the first.
