-NEW character: Demonia (unlocked in the shop)

-Demonia's kit is built heavily around the new health modifying weapons and equipment, find ways to maximize using your health as a resource of power

-Demonia's main weapon Bloodletter. Scythe that costs health to attack, does more damage per missing health (stacks with missing health bonus items)

-Demonia's Ultimate ability Crimson Tithe. Pay a large sum of health to fire this, reap your rewards in blood per enemy-NEW character: Xiang (reworked from Hero)-abilities have had a visual change from before

-X-18's main weapon Laser Beam now hits multiple ticks on enemies, similar to the laser weapon. X-18 is now viable

-Cyra's main weapon was added: Cyra's Pistol. Acts similarly to the existing pistol weapon, but can be aimed. Still needs to reload

-Cyra's ultimate was added. Fire her sniper rifle at the largest available enemy dealing massive damage to anything in it's path

-Cure's main weapon Cure's Eye was added, he burst stabs his tentacles as he floats around while she fires her own. Keeping your enemies lined up with his direction is key!

-Cure's Ultimate ability was added. Tick Tock!

-NEW main weapons awaken at max level - becoming stronger versions

-in the works : weapon/equipment fusion system, try different combinations and find different results

-NEW pet system: and a couple new pets!

-You can have one pet at a time (also check the shop, maybe the amount can be increased??)

-new pet: Flappy (a bat, just like from level 2 "Ptera Dungeon", but he's friendly... to you..)

-new pet: Sprig (a slime friend that heals you, not "Slime Friend")

-Slime Friend and Bixie, previously weapons, are now pets so they won't clutter your item pool. They were SUPER popular in early access >.>

-3 new equipment are available in the random pool

-new reroll and "cursed item" system in the random pool (see level up rework)

-the reroll amount can be modified or changed from the shop

-there is now a banish button under the level up upgrade slots

-banishing an upgrade removes that item/equipment from the pool for the rest of the run and refreshes that item
