Katanaut Patch 1.124

Season 2 winners are listed below and will receive their in-game rewards in their Home Base.

For this season, I'm trying something new and interesting. I introduced a combo system where if you pick up specific items that are considered a combo, they receive a mutual buff together. For example, Ground Slam and the Death from Above perk naturally buff each other now, based on the height of the impact(shoutout to Iron)!

I added a massive number of these combos to the game. Many are known, and some are unknown. I’m going to wait for feedback to see what you all think.

Other than that, business as usual!

Core: - Season 3 starts now! - Season 2 reward chest is now handed out to all top 10 players from last season - New combo system is added to the game. when certain pairs of skills/perks/offhands are used, they synergize each other. I listed a handful of them below, however other "secret" ones exist. Looking forward to testing this new system out to see if people enjoy it! - HUD now plays a big merge animation the moment a combo activates: copies of the relevant icons fly together above the stamina bar, collide, and explode in a purple burst with a sound effect - Death from Above now also triggers when you land from a high enough fall, including after Ground Stab and Blade Cyclone - Ground Stab damage now scales with how far you have fallen during the strike. Strike from a high ledge for a bigger hit - Spectral Cleave kills now feed Necrotic Burst, Void Summoner, Astral Echo, and Life Drain, matching every other void skill

Bugs: - Fixed an issue where rapid melee swings (most noticeable on Voidthorn) would silently drop the second attack instead of registering
