This patch aims to refine early game, making it easier to digest and providing more of a sense of progression throughout the run.

The hero will no longer start with regular skills; they now start with 4 new basic skills which have unique secondary effects related to that hero.

The next patch will also make some changes in this area.

Beta v0.4.2:

General

  • The hero now starts with 4 unique Origin skills.

  • The Juggernaut's landing effect now pulls enemies to you, instead of creating wildfire.

  • The merchant now removes skills for less Aether, but increases the price for each one.

  • The max number of skills is now 12, down from 16. Injuries can still put you above this cap.

  • The Originator talent now grants -20% Time instead of -15%. (its previous effect of reducing any skills of the same name is no longer applicable)

Bug Fixes

  • A visual issue with Mind Drain.

  • A very rare bug where you can win the run early if you and a boss die at the same time.
