Update: Lunaro

Update: Lunaro

Lunaro!

Tenno, you’ve fought long and valiantly. Now, put down your arms and join in the newest addition to Conclave. The honor-bound sport, Lunaro!

A contact ball sport played long ago by Tenno of years past, Lunaro is a new Conclave mode that accommodates up to four players per team. This new game mode focuses on skill, mobility, teamwork and creativity. 

Work together on team Sun or Moon to move the ball -- or Lunaro -- up an Orokin arena, into the opponent's goal. Defend your zone by smashing the Lunaro out of your opponent’s possession or knocking them to the ground with a crushing hit.

A letter on 'Lunaro Rules!' from [DE] Steve:

To get started Playing Lunaro, visit the Conclave station on your Landing Craft. You will be able to play the Practice tutorial there, it'll help!

BASIC CONTROLS:
 

Spoiler

-Hitting a player will stagger them and force them to drop the Lunaro if they're carrying it

-Hitting the Lunaro will ‘charge’ it for 3 seconds and it will knock down any player it hits
•    RMB (hold) - 3m soft vortex that attracts the Lunaro
•    E - shoulder charge

With ball:
•    LMB (tap) - light throw
-Also used for lock-on pass when you see an arrow Chevron above a teammate’s head
•    LMB (hold) - strong throw (twice as powerful as tap LMB)
•    E - shoulder charge

DE, can you please re-add the Grost shoulder armor that was originally available when the Grost skin was first added to the game? It handled colors in a different way that looked good with other skins and colors obviously.
