Major Class Overhaul + New Combos Update

It’s time for another hefty update! This one brings major class revamps, new combos, UI upgrades, performance boosts, and some long-requested quality-of-life changes. Whether you're a seasoned brawler or just jumping in, there's plenty to explore. And smash.

🔥 Class Overhauls & Balance

• AddedPirate RevampComplete overhaul! Pirate now has all-new combos and attacks significantly faster. Features two unique ability combos—one resets your cooldown, the other ends in a powerful explosion finisher.
• AddedVampire RevampFaster attacks and new staff-focused combos to better handle late-game threats. The weapon swap combo (staff to fists) has been streamlined and powered up. Bloodthirst no longer requires an equipment slot.

• Hoarder Revamp: Now has powerful on-demand combos instead of relying solely on charge attacks. His charge is still deadly, and his whirlwind gains bonus properties. Hoarder essence loss is now capped at 15% per hit.

• AdjustedMage BuffsAdded a new combo, Evocation —a long manual chain that resets ability cooldown and grants the Power Overwhelming buff. Also improved Arcane Rush to trigger a fast whirlwind and shock blast.
• AddedDuelist BuffAdded a new manual combo: Encore . Resets your ability cooldown when executed.

💥 Combat & Combo Enhancements

• Dragon Punch and Fist Overhead Slow Strike hitboxes extended for better consistency.

• Auto Combo Targeting: If a combo is visible on-screen, auto combo will now prioritize it.

• Shuffle Combos: Now shows combos involving fists, staves, or melee weapons if they’re in your inventory—even if not equipped. Helps weapon-swapping classes like Vampire, Struggler, and Monk.

• FixedCooldown Reset Combo FixFixed a bug where Resets Ability Cooldown Every X Seconds combos triggered their internal cooldown even if your ability wasn't actually on cooldown.

• Cooldown Reset Rework: These combos now scale their reset timer based on your ability's cooldown instead of a flat 10 seconds.

• New Oath – Sanguine Flow: Converts cooldown reset combos to drain health instead of using a timer. Great for aggressive builds that can sustain through lifesteal.

🧨 Visual & Feedback Improvements

• Bombs now cause screen shake based on explosion proximity.

• Blood Ritual explosion now triggers a light screen shake.

• Rare skills like Indomitable Spirit, Judgement, Unyielding Faith, and Transcendence now glow for added flair.

• You can no longer be guard broken while parrying. Instead, your guard meter is reduced to 1.

• Bloody Palm can no longer kill you via health drain. Health drain reduced from 5% → 3.5%.

🛠️ Performance & UI Updates

• Shaders now stay loaded to help reduce hitches.

• Minor camera performance improvements.

• Revamped item comparison UI: now merges panels and shows global stat/skill changes, making upgrades easier to judge. Hold ALT to inspect without comparison view.

• Main popup UI now expands horizontally to prevent excessive vertical stacking.

📈 Stats, Systems & Progression

• Stats now have soft and hard caps (e.g., Attack up to 400%, Speed up to 100%). The soft cap is where scaling slows; hard caps are nearly unreachable but offer added ceiling for extreme builds.

• Renamed “Slash” input to “Melee Weapon Attack” for clarity.

• Swapped Pirate and Mage on the class unlock order since Pirate’s now a top-tier pick.

• Regenerator skill now restores health faster.

• Drop chests will now spawn yellow essence if no loot is inside (fixes issue for Hoarder).

• Added new uncommon Hoarder skills for more build diversity.

🏆 Achievements & Progress Tracking

• Removed Path 5, 10, 15, and 20 achievements. While a few players achieved them, they were generally seen as unrewarding and unnecessary. I’d rather keep endless modes as a fun
