Halls Twinstar is here!

Surviving a (regrettably) long stretch of development hell, the long-awaited continuation of the Valkyrie series is here!

Hall Twinstar has arrived, accessible via completing Butterfly Woods, and inside this update you'll find 8 brand new untiered items, several new crafting materials to hunt, and a handful of balance changes alongside the new dungeon. These include boosted Special drop rates from non-boss types and stronger barrier potions, as well as a bunch of other changes.

With music synced directly to the battle, Hall Twinstar is aimed to be more of a pattern to be learned and mastered. With less random dodging, there are only four different offset patterns you can learn optionally. Otherwise, reaction time and memory is enough to carry you through it after several attempts.

This dungeon is set within the upper bracket of our 'Experienced' difficulty tier, so I hope you stocked up on your speed dusts. You're going to need them.

Good luck, and enjoy your loot and oofs. Here's to the future next section of the valkyrie temples!

P.S. If you don't have music enabled, I'll oof you myself
