So first off, we have split skills into two categories, Utility and Movement. You can only equip one skill from the same category, so we basically have a dedicated Utility and a dedicated Movement skill slot now. The said categories of each item will be written under their names in your inventory.

Gameplay

  • Walljump’s gravity boost after the peak is removed, it will now use the same gravity over time and cover slightly more distance

  • Running now clamps your vertical speed to +2 instead of -1, removing the install push down while still cutting it off

  • Running movement speed increased to 1.74x from 1.6x (%8.75 increase), making up for the old speed increase of broadsword walk speed

  • Added stun crowd control effect, unlike stagger it cannot be recovered using a dodge but other crowd controls can override it, allowing to cancel again even before its eventual time out

Weapons

Guardgun (Item: Scarab)

  • Added the weapon

  • Shots are the same as old swordgun, same firerate and damage however, ammo is 40

  • RMB consumes 23 Flux to initiate and goes into guard state between 0.3s – 1.4s as long 5.5 Flux is there to consume over time. At the end of guard state it will be followed up with a throwing attack

  • RMB with not enough Flux will do weaker version of the follow up attack directly with no guard state, it is visually a combo to break the monotonous look on spam but both attacks features are nearly identical

Note: With exception of certain attacks like Jump Attacks, any melee attack received during guard will result in attacker getting stunned for 1.2s.

Swordgun (Item: Scorpio)

  • Reduced firerate to 7 bullets per second from 8

  • Increased damage per bullet to 9 from 8

  • Increased critical multiplier to 1.45x from 1.25x

  • Increased spread over time quicker, making it bloom faster

Broadsword (Item: Durendal / Founders Sword)

  • Increased normal attack damage to 20 from 16

  • Increased Strong Cut damage to 25 from 20

  • Reduced time to attack on Strong Cut by 0.18s and shortened the animation by 0.04s

  • Changed critical points of Strong Cut to match general idea of “aim at the enemy to crit”

Bat (Item: Cyclone)

  • Reduced mobility and disabled jump during Swing part of the Jump Attack -> Swing combo

  • Delayed ability to Swing during Jump Attack recovery to 0.2s from 0.1s

Rifle Cannon (Item: Helios)

  • Fixed refill taking flux after charge was cancelled

  • Allowed weapon to be cancelled with Crouch button while walking (although Crouch walk itself is not back yet)

  • Charge VFX decided to appear in builds

Skills

Soar

  • Added the skill under Movement category

  • Activation on ground pushes you upwards and goes into gliding state

  • You can get a dive boost by using the activation key again, but it only works once on every flight (UI has no indicator for this at the moment)

Platform

  • Moved skill to Movement category

Shield

  • Moved skill to Utility category

Zone

  • Moved skill to Utility category

Maps

  • Minor performance improvements on City Square, Ironworks and Service Point

Client

  • Added separate keybinding in the settings for Utility skills

  • Optimized SSR and Bloom performance
