Vote on Which New Piece to Murder!

Later this month, on our Discord, we'll hold a vote to see which of this updates new pieces we want to destroy for good. So, what are they?

New Units: The Enchantress and The Siphon

Two new RARE ones: the dangerous Enchantress and the alluring Siphon. Or are those reversed? No, we're going with that.

  • The Enchantress - Mark adjacent Water, Fire and Steam for destruction. For each, increase a random deployed unit’s Base Damage by +1. If this happens, randomly add 1 Water, Fire, or Steam to the Militia.

  • The Siphon - Marks all like-units for destruction. if not protected, transfer all their base damage to the Siphon.

Again, we plan to murder one of these. It's up to you which.

Starting Squad: Lawyer Up

Defeat any mission with the Frog Squad and unlock the Lawyer Squad. This is an interesting one, our first all-rare starting squad, opening up play styles and strategies.

Lawyer: Gains permanent +2 base damage whenever its multiplier or bonus damage are boosted. If fewer than 3 Giant Rats are deployed, 10% chance to add one to your militia.

Just watch out for the rodents.

Balancing and Bugfixes

  • GoldIncreased base damage to adjacent units by +1.

  • Silver: Now grants +1 to bonus damage to adjacent units.

  • Strength Serum: Now provides +5 bonus damage.

  • Ascetic: Transforms into a Civilian when one-shotting a boss.

  • Gold Dragon: Has a global reach for Gold and Silver units.

  • Slight increase to overall boss health curve to compensate for new units and balance changes.

  • Strength Serum was only adding in-round damage.

  • Whiskey now correctly interacts with Constructs.

  • Fixed a bug where loading from savegame could continue playing music from the intro.

  • Fixed a bug where the flashing log marquee was showing after players already selected it.

  • Alchemist was incorrectly duplicating transformed pieces.

  • And assorted others!
