It’s more chaotic than the battle royale, but at the same time, there are more tactics and strategies involved, so the skill ceiling is a bit higher. I’m a big fan of Spellbreak’s combat and, from my preview, I could tell that Dominion really brings the best bits of it right to the forefront. It shouldn’t take you long to acclimatize. However, you’ve probably played point capture maps in other games before. It’s a lot to keep track of, and I was pretty overwhelmed at first. You will need to adopt a new playstyle that involves being aware of the three zones, the enemy team, and the Vowguard AI. The nature of the mode means that you can’t just roam around trying to slay or hide from enemies. And that is exactly what Spellbreak needs.

In that regard, Dominion is a whole new magical ball game compared to the battle royale or Clash. You will need to focus on capturing zones. However, killing enemies will not be enough to secure a win. You get points the longer you hold the zones, as well as for killing enemies. As for the new Dominion mode, it’s a 5v5 objective-based battle that requires players to fight for control over three zones. It will ensure the player base isn’t split up too much. That will leave Spellbreak with just two game modes, and I think that’s a smart choice. With the introduction of Dominion, Clash will be vaulted. That gives you a couple of weeks to theorycraft builds with the Talent changes and new game mode in mind. Most importantly, it will begin on April 8. The group of Proletariat developers who were kind enough to take time out of their schedules to play Dominion with me also answered a few key questions about Chapter 2. I also got a sneak peek at the cosmetics in the Chapter 2 battle pass. In my hour-long preview of Spellbreak Chapter 2, I got to play a couple rounds of the new Dominion game mode and check out the new Leagues system.

I was fortunate enough to sample some of the new content coming with the battle royale’s second Chapter. Spellbreak Chapter 1 has come to an end, leaving players eagerly awaiting the beginning of Chapter 2: The Fracture.
