Valheim Call to Arms Update - Battles more intense than ever

New mechanics & combat features

The update introduces Adrenaline - a new resource that you build up in battle and that unlocks temporary benefits if you have the right Trinkets.

In addition, there is the Perfect Dodge Roll skill, which allows you to dodge attacks and regain some of your stamina - ideal for tactical battles.

New equipment, creatures & items

• 13 new Trinkets - supports your fighting style and adds strategic options.

• Two new enemy types, including the mighty bear ("Bear") and its undead counterpart, the "Vile".

• 18 new weapons - including wooden training weapons for practicing without taking too much damage.

• Two new armor sets, new food, materials, hair and beard styles round off the update.

Quality, performance & general improvements

In addition to new content, we have also worked on stability and performance. Forsaken Powers have been reworked to make them fairer and more balanced.

In addition, the Unity engine substructure has been updated and bugs that could cause crashes have been fixed - especially with outdated Nvidia drivers.

What you should do now

If you play Valheim, you should first try out your Trinkets after the update and see which style you prefer in combat. Dodge roll timing can significantly affect gameplay and stamina consumption. Also check whether your equipment suits the new enemies - bears are now particularly important.

Conclusion

With Call to Arms, Valheim gets a powerful update that not only brings new content, but also noticeably improves the combat experience. The new mechanics such as Adrenaline and Perfect Dodge Roll provide you with tools for more strategic battles. If you've only played Valheim occasionally, now could be the perfect time to get back into it.
