Patch Notes:

  • Added audio cue for selling an Item.

  • Reality ShardItem is now Toggleable. When enabled 70% of your Tower's normal attack damage is converted to Magic Damage at the cost of 5 mana per attack. If your Tower does not have at least 5 mana, it will act as if the item is toggled off.
  • Manifest SorceryItem is now Toggleable. When enabled 100% of your Tower's Magic Damage is converted to normal attack damage. Increases cost of all Abilities by 40% while toggled on.

  • Build Tooltip has a label that roughly describes the role of the Tower. As certain Towers are quite flexible in their builds it mostly serves to improve the new player experience.

  • Ability Tooltip now shows at a glance what the damage type of the Ability is.

  • Buff & Debuff stats are now clearly marked in the Ability Tooltip. For example, Volcano's Eruption now clearly differentiates between the damage dealt by the initial blast and its DoT burn. If an Ability solely provides a Buff or Debuff this marking is not included as it is redundant.

  • Fireball Concentration mana to damage conversion percentage from 40+2.4/Lvl->35+0.2/Lvl.

  • Inhibitor Buff duration from 7->8s.
