Bravery & Greed l The Spider Queen Update

Did someone say... new update? ⚔️

Yes, we've pushed a new update live! This includes lots of bug fixes, changes, and a new boss!

Dungeons 🏰

• Added a new Boss to the Ice Caves!

After clearing the main level of the Ice Caves, you will face either Frostfang, or the newly introduced Desydera. Her special movements and magic attacks will keep you on your toes! 🕷️✨

• The difficulty scaling of the extra levels from The Moon has been reworked to grow exponentially

The level of challenge will feel similar for the first few extra levels, but as you progress monsters will scale more drastically in health, damage, speed and numbers. Put into action your best builds to take on this new challenge!

• Added 7 new HUB rooms

• Added 3 new Puzzle/Trial rooms

• Added 12 new Dungeon Sections variations

The dungeons of Bravery and Greed are ever-expanding! We are continuously adding new content to keep the feeling of discovery fresh.

Due to under-the-hood changes, resuming a run in progress that was saved from the last version of the game will not be possible between versions 1.01 and 1.02a. As always all other data will be kept intact, and we aim to avoid this issue for future version changes.

Classes ⚔️

Rogue 🏹

• All basic ground Dagger Attacks, all ground Arrow attacks and Stealth activation can now be roll-cancelled earlier

• Aerial attacks can now be hit-cancelled much earlier into each-other

• Reduced the pushback distance on the 4th hit of the basic combo as well as on Aerial Down+Attack

• Aerial Down+Attack no longer automatically passes-through platform. You can still passthrough platforms if you hold Down while the move is active

• Increased the damage of Thousand Blades (Up+Attack) from 40 to 50 per hit, and 220 to 250 for the final hit

• The Rogue’s Life Perk Hunter’s Aim is now much more effective at aiming towards targets, especially in area with low ceiling

Warrior 🛡️

• All basic ground Attacks and the Focused Strike (Hold Attack) can now be roll-cancelled earlier

• Aerial attacks can now be hit-cancelled much earlier into each-other

• In PVP only, blocking now depletes Stamina at a faster rate

Wizard 🧙‍♂️

• All Elemental Commands, Shield (Down+Attack) and ground Elemental Summoning can now be roll-cancelled earlier

Amazon ⚔️

• All basic ground Sword Attacks and the Turnaround Attack can now be roll-cancelled earlier

• Aerial attacks can now be hit-cancelled much earlier into each-other

• Aerial Up+Attack now has a faster startup, a better hitbox and changes to the trajectory it launches enemies at to allow improved combos

• Slightly reduced the distance travelled on the 3rd hit of the basic combo

• Increased the cancel speed between the 2nd and 3rd hit of the basic combo

Changes have been made to all Classes to allow most ground attacks to be cancelled into Rolls at anytime, granting better opportunities to react to enemy attacks. Additionally, aerial attacks can be chained into each other faster, allowing for more combos!

Balance

Monsters 🐺

• Adjusted Frostfang’s main attack hitbox to be more easily avoided by jumping and reduced its damage (300 -> 275)

• Slightly improved the startup speed of Joknar’s flamethrower attack

• Increased Joknar’s and Melghor’s base HPs (12 000 -> 14 000 and 15 000 -> 17 500)

• Added a telegraphed animation to the Troglodyte, Animated Armor and Possessed Armor’s basic attacks

We’ve added visible startup animations to a few enemy attacks to make them more fair. Good reactions will be rewarded and allow you to dodge or even counter their attacks!

Arcana 🃏

• Explosions from The Sun do not hit Followers anymore and their damage can be mitigated by Abilities that reduce damage taken from Traps

• Critters and Bosses no longer create explosions from The Sun

• Explosions from The Sun now do 50 less damage during the first level, but will scale to higher damage values in harder levels

• Damage from Death will scale to higher damage values in harder levels

• The Fight time limits associated to The Chariot have been lowered

• AdjustedThe bonuses provided by an Elite monster (ArcanumJustice) have been reworked

• Previously, the Elite itself gained +20% damage and +50% health, and provided a +15% speed aura to all monsters in the room while it was alive. Now, the Elite itself gains +100% health, and provides a +20% speed and +20% defense aura to all monsters in the room while it is alive

We’re making adjustments to Arcana to balance their effects at various stages of the game. This goes alongside the major change to The Moon in making the end-game a much more difficult challenge!

Perks & Gear 🏅

• The additional chance for a Chest to drop Gear for each additional player in a multiplayer game has been increased from 25% to 35% per additional player

• The Life Perk Sharing is Caring now properly shares heals received with both Allies and Followers

• Reduced heal share ratio (25% -> 15%)

• Life-leech from Soul Leech (Wizard + Darkness) has been reduced (40% +30%/lvl to 30% +15%/lvl)

• Reduced the amount of life drained by Absorption Aura (Unholy Chaplet) from 20~25 to 15~20

• Immortal Flesh (Amulet of the Lich King) has been changed to only grant temporary HP from HP loss instead of from the full damage received

• Improved the scaling of Plague (Blighted Gauntlets)

Improvements 🧰

• Added functions to quickly add/remove Arcana, and save/restore your favorite sets!
