Update 0.5.3 New character Grendel's Mother!

This update includes a new character called Grendel's Mother. She has a passive ability that let's her attack while moving, which is something a few of you have asked for in the Steam discussion forum. She also comes with a new ability (that of course all the other characters can unlock in a run as well) called Bloodlust. It increases the basic attack speed when active which fits well with Grendel's Mother's ability to attack while moving. You can see a short gif of her with the Bloodlust ability active here below. This update also comes with a bunch of new combo upgrades, upgrades that unlock if you have unlocked two specific abilities. So take a look at those and see if you can come up with some exciting new builds with them.
