UPDATE 2026.6.17
Complete Freedom: The Skill Tree Removed!
Based on your feedback, we've made a massive structural change to the game loop. Many players felt the skill tree progression system discouraged experimentation, forcing you into the same repetitive builds run after run just to progress.
All Augments Unlocked: The meta-progression tree is gone! For the time being, every single augment and ability is unlocked for all players from run one.
Pure Discovery: You can now hunt for wild, unexpected builds on the fly, bringing back a genuine sense of roguelike discovery to every single match.
Currency & Economy Streamlining
With the skill tree gone, "Upgrade Points" are history. We have streamlined the entire mid-run economy around a single resource: Points.
Reroll Points Overhaul: "Reroll Points" are now simply called Points.
Orb Update: Any dropped Upgrade Point Orbs in the arena will now grant you Points instead.
Flat-Rate Banning: Banning an augment now costs a flat 3 Points. The cost no longer scales or builds up, making it much easier to curate your deck!
Skipping Buff: Skipping an augment selection now awards you +5 Points (up from +3), giving you a stronger economic backup plan.
Reroll Cost: Rerolling your choices remains at a flat 1 Point.
Survivability Adjustments
No More Infinite Grace: Refreshing your grace period while it is already active has been deactivated. Only the very first hit taken when you do not have a grace period will trigger the invincibility window. This nerf was absolutely necessary, as grace-period stacking builds were still letting players achieve total immortality.
Guaranteed Armor: Armor Orbs now grant a guaranteed minimum of 25 armor, ensuring they remain highly valuable even when your maximum capacity is low.
Fixes
Penetro Stability: Fixed a nasty, critical crash that occurred when equipping the Penetro weapon. You can now slice with lasers safely!
