Repeated intro

Hello again! This time I finally got around to doing some balance updates to the game. I've been focusing on synergies that are rarely used and on bringing all artefacts to a more even power level. Of course there are also a bunch of bug fixes. I think I got rid of the bug which sometimes freezes the game but let me know if it's still there. A big thank you to all of you who have reported bugs and suggested improvements to the game. I've read every suggestion so far so keep them coming!

fixed=============================== Adjustments: - Fixed the fight opponent matching. Now you should not have to face the same opponent multiple times in a row until the end game. - Healing effects now no longer heal forever. After about 25-50 uses they lose half of their power and then after 50-100 uses they stop working. This is to avoid some very specific fights going on forever.
changedDebuff immunity is now split into two separate stats: Purity Shield and Protected Body. This is done to not have Debuff Immunity be the answer to everything, which is actually was, and to allow for some counterplay.
addedAdded 2 new minor artefacts: - Reinforced Armour: Gives +300 Health, +15 Armour and Barrier, and Protected Body. - Assassin's Handbook: Gives +15 Crit, +15 Dodge, and the Poison spell.

Apart from that I'm currently focusing on getting the mobile versions done. The version themselves are pretty much done but I need to get them through the review processes of Google and Apple. Wish me luck!
