changedCombo Rework + Performance UpdateCombo has been reworked.
addedCombo Rework + Performance UpdateThe reason: combo bonuses were taking over every build by the end of a run. They were too strong when fully upgraded and too weak without. Combos now have a higher base bonus, and the shop upgrades add +20% per upgrade, for a max of +100% on top of the base. Combo bonuses for all stats are now unlocked from the start, so you no longer need to buy an upgrade to get bonuses for things like move speed or elemental damage. It's all there from the start.
addedCombo Rework + Performance UpdateThis update is an attempt to push you toward making good choices when picking upgrades, instead of just maxing the combo tier and not caring what you pick. Combo bonuses should be a spice that adds some damage to your build, not something that replaces every build like it has until now.
changedCombo Rework + Performance UpdateI also hope this gives players without upgrades a fair shot at pushing the game to its limits, if the skill is there. Before, the starting bonuses were just too weak to make that reasonably possible.
addedPerformanceAt high fire rate, the projectile aura visual for Buckshot and Burstshot is now limited to the main projectile (the first shot in Burstshot, the middle one in Buckshot). High fire rate means 4 shots per second, where this kicks in (base fire rate is 1 shot per second). Before this, a fully upgraded shot could render up to 15 auras at once, which tanked performance and didn't actually add anything. At that fire rate you couldn't even see them. Burst and Buckshot combinations now show 4 auras per shot (1 burst aura, then 3 buckshot auras, one per burst). To be clear: all projectiles still deal damage as intended, this is purely a visual change to keep performance up when chaos hits hard.
