Some minor and medium reworks to the unlockable characters, Sisters and Irolaz going live today.
Sisters:
The Sisters' UI has been readjusted and it now has a button on it which allows you to pay 4 energy to draw a Card Fragment (the pieces of SHATTER cards). This button can be pressed once per turn per SHATTER card that started in your deck.
ultimately I expect this to be a nice improvement for very early game SHATTER gameplay, and very niche lategame.
Irolaz:
your maximum NEGATIVITY now starts combats at 10. For every 4 points of DRAIN that overflow your maximum or points of NEGATIVITY that actually deal damage to you, the Max increases by 1.
This should make NEGATIVITY and DRAIN easier to cheat value out of early game and midgame, but late game it will allow a heavy DRAIN based build to remain a threat to your health if mismanaged.
RAPTURE has been completely reworked, old functionality discarded. RAPTURE now reads:
Enter the RAPTURE state, causing your cards to refund 2 energy after they are played. After playing 6 cards, exit the RAPTURE state and take 100 damage. Whenever you take damage from RAPTURE, this damage increases by 50.
Eviscerate, Worship Me, Coin Of The End, Doomsday, FORBIDDEN Rapture, and Clemency have all been improved or had their cost reduced.
Defy Fate, Zeal Tap, Dark Lashings, Doom Whisper, The King of Clubs, Bluff, and Deck Tap were all reworked to cause the RAPTURE effect, most of them maintain their old effects.
Added Four new passives that interact with RAPTURE: Bleak Rapture, Apocalypse Waiting Room, Darkened Horizon, and Royal Rapture.
This patch will NOT brick existing runs that were suspended with the temporary save system. However, the modified Cards will retain their old energy costs and damage numbers.
EDIT:
Quick patch on the 7th.
RAPTURE initial damage reduced to 70, scaling reduced to 30.
Darkened Horizon requires 190 RAPTURE damage to activate
FORBIDDEN Rapture now VOIDS properly
