Leader updates

Captain Cade always knew what he was for: he holds a column together, and his trait pushes that same idea further. The rest of the free leaders didn't have that. They had stat lines and a name.This update rebuilds every one of them.Mira, Aspiring Arbalest

• Mira never targets adjacent enemies, she gives ground and keeps firing.
• She evades the very first attack against her outright, and every attack aimed at her after that grants +1 move speed for 2s and +2 AGI, up to +10.
• Hunt her and you only make her faster.

Penitent Grim

• Patience is the weapon.

• Grim gets -25% SPD, but +40% splash damage

• Grim gains +1 ATK for every second he does not attack, up to +8.
• Grim also revives, and keeps the ATK he had banked — the wait carries over into the second life.

Pip, Who Trades Toys

• Pip picks something off every ally who falls.
• The rewards stack as the bodies pile up:
• 1 death: +1 RNG · 3: +3 ATK · 5: +25% SPD · 7: +4 ALL · 9: +5 ATK
• A losing fight is the fight where Pip grows up.

Vellum Blankpage

• Vellum now starts every battle already carrying a spell 'Quill', and gains +10% SPD.
• No more hoping to shop reroll into a missing piece.

Four Eyes

• Punching him hurts. When a basic attack crits Four Eyes, the attacker takes 3 true damage straight back. He also gains +1 STR or AGI after every battle — which one is up to the fight.

Alchemist Belwick

• Belwick doesn't hit hard.
• He changes what everyone near him is doing.
• Allies adjacent to Belwick deal 25% less direct damage, but every hit they land laces the target with poison, ticking once a second for 3 seconds. Less up front, more on the way out.

Greedy Tebb

• Four hand slots!
• Tebb can dual-wield two-handers, ignores gear requirements entirely, and gains +1 STR for every hand item he's carrying. Load him up.

Ivo, Celebrated Negotiator

• Ivo is a broker, not a hoarder.
• He carries three trinkets, and every ally in his row gains half of his non-spell trinket bonuses.
• Park him in a full row and the whole rank drinks from his collection.

New Units

• Ossuary Wright (14g, Bone Host)

  • Watch: hiring this unit grants a Bone Hurler.

  • Can ATK if no Bone Hurler is in this unit’s aura.

  • Watch Aura: +25% SPD and +4 HP regen to adjacent Bone Hurlers.

  Bone Hurler

  • Emplaced: can not move or EVA. Can not have AR.

  • Spent Bones: can ATK once per allied skeleton death.

  • RNG 4 turret. 5/1/0, 30 HP, 12 ATK.

  House Songleader (22g, Belowborn)

  • Count Off Lads: +1 RNG. 18 MP, 7s CD to summon a geared Dwarf Midget near this unit (up to 4).

  • Chorus Morale Aura: +2 HP regen to allies within 2 cells.

Other Updates

• Max RNG is now 8 from 4

  • (Basically removing max RNG as a balance crutch)

• New artwork!

  • About 10 units have modified artwork and new poses

• Some units now carry a small counter in the corner of their art, so you can read their state at a glance during a fight. Pip's shows his trophy count. The Bone Hurler's shows remaining ammo.

• Lots of small balance updates. You can review the patch notes in Discord to see them all.

  • Changes to about 10 items
