addedComposureComposure as a mechanic has been removed from the game. We felt that it didn't add anything of value to the core gameplay. As such, there are a few changes! Arcana cards involving the composure mechanic have been removed from the game. Composure shots have been reworked into adrenal shots. All class abilities involving composure have been removed or reworked.
changedClass ReworksDue to the removal of composure as well as some feedback from our beta testers, we wanted to make sure that all classes felt useful. Scholar Scholar's level 10 active ability has been reworked into "The Invisible Man". This ability makes the player invisible to the phantom for a short period of time with a cooldown of 60 seconds. The level 15 passive ability "Shots" has been updated to increase the effectiveness of Adrenal Shots rather than Composure Shots. "Land Mines", the level 40 passive ability, has been updated to starting a match with an EMF Mine waiting for you in the Equipment Room. The second active ability at level 50 has been fully reworked. "It's Miller Time!" will allow players to instantly reload or recharge their current weapon with a cooldown of 60 seconds. Attuned The first active ability on Attuned has been reworked as "Life Steal". At level 10, players can now activate this ability to take 10% of the phantom's health to heal themselves. The level 15 passive has been reworked as "Oh a Clue!" which will allow players to see the trail of the phantom periodically. Attuned's level 30 passive is now "Second Wind" which will regenerate health while the player is not in combat. The second active ability has been reworked as "Last Stand". This makes the player invulnerable for 60 seconds as a one time use in a match. Neutralizer The level 40 passive has been reworked. "Salty" allows players to deal 5% more damage with salt-based weapons. Shaman Shaman's level 10 active ability has been reworked as "I Got You Covered". With this, the player is able to give themselves or another player a temporary shield that reduces damage from the phantom on a cooldown of 60 seconds. "Unwavering" is Shaman's new level 40 passive. Once a player drops below 50% health, the next hit from a phantom will heal them for the amount of damage dealt. This passive only activates once per match. The second active ability, "Living Dead", has been updated so that players must now sacrifice a portion of their health in order to revive a teammate. The resurrected teammate will now come back with 50% of their health.
