Takanuva Arrives On Voya Nui - Bionicle Heroes: Takanuva Returns Released!

Takanuva Returns

 

This year of Bionicle Modding has seen a few sporadic but significant releases; and now, we're capping it off with a huge collective effort. Months of work, technical research, and cinematic artistry have culminated in this release - bringing the myth of a playable Takanuva in Bionicle Heroes to life!

Before you go any further, watch our cinematic release trailer for Takanuva's Return! This is being posted to a new community-organised Bionicle Modding channel that will feature content for not only Heroes, but also BTG, City of Legends, and perhaps more in the future!

 

Excited to jump right in? Then download the mod below, or read on for more details! And meanwhile, if you'd like to witness more of this kind of modding in action, join the community modding Discord here: https://discord.gg/GdwkjfeqNT


Gameplay

-Takanuva's level 1 weapon is a recreation of his Chronicler's Staff which shoots orbs of explosive light at enemies
-Takanuva's level 2 weapon is his Kohli Staff, based on Tattorack's model and then expanded by us, which fires a stream of light energy that quickly reduces enemies to scrap
-Takanuva's level 3 weapon is his signature Light Staff, which fires a ray of concentrated light at any target with perfect accuracy, and a small amount of AOE

Examples:
