Hello everyone,
Before we jump into the notes, we want to thank everyone who helped us reach 95%+ Positive Reviews! Seeing your incredible runs, reading your feedback, and watching this community grow means a lot.
Aaand of course, we cooked quite a bit of patch for today, including a new mechanic, balancing, QoL and tons of bug fixes.
✨ Highlights
Game Over Screen Overhaul: We redesigned it quite a bit and added some new interesting statistics! It now displays detailed run statistics (Highest Damage Dealt, Run Duration, etc.) and allows you to hover over unlocked items to view their tooltips.
New Mechanic: Overtime Damage: The Sin Kings now grow impatient. Starting from Turn 5, combatants will take Overtime damage (starts at 50 damage, increasing by +50% each subsequent turn).
Nature Wizard Unlock Condition: When transitioning from demo to Early Access, Nature Wizard's unlock condition disappeared for unknown reasons, and we added it back. It now has a "Complete 1 game with the Fire Wizard" condition, so that the players already played it may have to play it again. Sorry for that.
⚖️ Gameplay & Balance Changes
Pure (Status Rework): Functionality updated to: "Negates the next debuff, loses 1 stack per negation."
"Draw" Effects: Hard-capped to trigger a maximum of 1 time per turn (resets each turn, not per combat). No more infinite rerolls loops, sorry!
Rune Rewards & Skips:
Base Rune Reward skips per stage reduced from 3 to 2.
Skipping a Bonus Rune Reward selection is now completely free.
Dual Deck:
Selecting a Dual Deck now grants 3 free rerolls per stage during Rune reward selections.
Elements belonging to locked Wizards will no longer appear in the Dual Deck draft pool.
🔮 Runes & Artifacts
Constant Flux: Now triggers the next rune twice (previously triggered the next 2 runes once).
Wilting Rose: Its Shatter is now working properly.
Double Down: Now has Dissonant.
🎨 Visuals & Quality of Life
Dynamic Tooltips: Rune descriptions now dynamically update their text values when scaled via Grow effects.
Visual Clarity: Improved the visual feedback and clarity of Aura trigger effects.
