New weapon, new systems, and major improvements!
Adventurers, it’s time to dive back in the dungeon. This update brings the highly anticipated new magic weapon combo, a reworked Beast Blood shop, massive memory and multiplayer improvements, and new modding tools.
New Weapon Combo: Wand & Tome
Become a real wizard with this new weapon combo. Wand and Tome has a range of attack capabilities featuring 5 different attacks.
You have two basic attacks which use basic orbs as fuel. These recharge passively.
The first is your main wand attack. This wand attack is a long range orb blast.
The second basic attack is a book blast. This is a short-range, wide AOE blast done by swinging your book across.
Your tome has various incantations to help you. You can open your book to reveal 3 orbs. Each orb represents a different incantation. You can only cast one incantation before you need to recharge your tome by slaying monsters, so use this wisely!
The first orb is a blue orb which features a lightning attack. Zap your enemies away with this powerful lightning spray.
The second orb is a green orb. This lays down a wide poison cloud which damages enemies over time.
The last orb is a red orb, this is a fire blast that does large single enemy damage and burns them for a short period.
