New Features

  • CosmeticLightstarthrow the Star to stun an enemy for an indefinite amount of time (until they take damage) and briefly stun all its surrouding enemies!

Game Improvements

  • In the Art unlock area, players now must practice with their chosen Art before leaving that area for the first time;

  • Added more variation for enemies' wait time, making attacks less simultaneous between enemies of the same type;

  • Added a more noticeable reminder that the player has unspent Souls in the Fountain;

  • Added an explanation for the Lamplighter's effect on the Crossroads;

Balance Adjustments

  • Buffed the Execution heal at low Ardor levels, and nerfed that heal for high Ardor levels;

    • The exact values are (Ardor D -> 5; C -> 10; B -> 20; A -> 30; S -> 55);

    • Those values were (Ardor D -> 4; C -> 8; B -> 16; A -> 32; S -> 64);

  • Ardor degrades slightly faster at high Ardor levels;

    • Dan's commentary: we've noticed a problem of snowballing in our balance - experienced players are rewarded with a lot of healing, while struggling players have to avoid more damage. With this change, we hope to alleviate this problem a bit.

  • Extra bleeding caused due to Overextending a Region greatly increased;

  • Art Rewards now stop appearing during the third Act;

Fixes

  • Fixed being able to accumulate more than 3 Crosses;

  • Fixed a very niche bug with the Whims tab;

  • Fixed a niche error with the Ghostrunner Talent;

Thanks for all the support, everyone, and please leave a Steam review if you can!

Have a nice day!
