changedHighlight 1: Spider Miniboss Phrase 2This eight-legged nightmare is finally graduating from a trailer cameo to a full-blown multi-armed Asura. In his second phase, he drops the web-slinging to quadruple-wield a hammer, spear, and dual swords.
addedHighlight 2: Ranged SentinelsThe Sentinel army is officially expanding its reach. The raining volleys of standard Crossbowmen and the high-speed kiting of the new Crossbow Cavalry keep you on your toes to survive the frontline.
changedHighlight 3: The Goat Zodiac UpdateOur OG Goat is getting a high-fidelity facelift. We’ve tweaked his charging slams and spear throws to make sure that when you get skewered, it at least looks professional.
changedHighlight 4: Fire Pillar SealThe 2024 playtest's towering flame pillars are back as a core feature of the Fire Seal. They clear clusters and leave behind a nasty damage-over-time effect to keep the heat on any survivors.
changedHighlight 4: Fire Pillar SealApril was all about impact and refinement, ensuring every encounter feels weighted and fair. We're excited to keep pushing the limits of Act 2 behind the scenes as we move into May. If you enjoy deeper behind-the-scenes content, we share the full dev journal and more sneak peeks on our free Patreon where we post twice a week. See you over there!
