Hello,
A new content patch is coming next week with a new class, new relics and a new tournament mode.
But now I am sending a small patch with fixes and improvements.
I’m also hosting a Champion Challenge! Submit your videos or clips in #eslabong-clips on our Discord server for a chance to become a Champion in the game. If your submission is selected, you’ll get to choose your Champion’s name and class.
Changelog below:
EARLY ACCESS 0.41.5
Added
- Added the “No Additional Champion Signings” campaign option. It keeps your starting Champion but blocks further Champion purchases, auctions, offers and trades. For people that don't like Champions.
- Added 8 new Shiny variants. There are now 20 different shiny styles.
(I've seen rumors mentioning changes to combat, but nO! They do not affect gameplay or stats!!! A fire shiny is the same as an Ice shiny)
- Added Headquarters Levels 8 and 9, increasing maximum roster size to 55 and 60.
- Added missing ability evolutions for Mass Mend, Spearfisher, Icewind Jump, Banana Peel, The One’s Mine and Void Singularity.
