Potions

Modifiers, Rerolls and Collection

• By default, rerolls are reset when defeating a boss
  
• By default, modifiers just have one completion state, rather than per character
  
• In the options you can give yourself infinite rerolls
  
  • This will always give the sussy dagger on the victory screen
• Rerolling Modifiers will blacklist Modifiers you have previously seen.
  
  • Resets with your reroll count or, if you’re using infinite rerolls, after seeing every modifier once.
• In options you can choose to show modifier completion by character instead
  
• Added 4 new modifiers
  
• Modifiers that fully heal after fights used to hide camps. The camps now show anyway so you can see story sequences.
  
• +1 enemy damage modifier rank increased from 2 to 3
  
• “Half health but heal after each battle modifier” rank increased from 0 to 1
  

Clarity and Polish

• You can now completely skip your turn. This needs to be enabled in options as it’s a bit of a trap for new players, but it can be useful in some scenarios.
  
• Collection screen now shows if Spells are offensive or defensive.
  
• Collection screen shows if Badges are limited to certain characters (both locked and unlocked state)
  
  • This is only for one Badge, which was added this update
• The results screen background is lighter so the loading screen wipe is less weird looking.
  
• Quests that unlock Spell Sets and Badges will now show those Spells and Badges.
  
• Increased text size and spacing in some places. The default tight text is to try and fit a novella onto the tiny Spell widgets. Honestly, I kind of regret not just making Spell details a giant pop-up instead… but it’s too late to change that now. People would be rioting in the streets.
  
• The descent animation after finishing an act is quicker and can be skipped.
  
• In combat, if path entry is stopped because of the End Path keyword, this is now indicated above the mana bar. If it’s because the Paralyze Spell status added the keyword, then that is called out instead.
  
• In combat, the cross hatching that shows which stones cannot be accessed from the current path now takes into account any status effects that make cells inaccessible.
  
• If enemies have an innate status effect, the application VFX will play before the player’s turn.
  
• The Resilient status now only turns a health bar blue when maxed out and negating damage.
  
• The Empower status now correctly plays the correct purple VFX, rather than the green Strength one.
  
• Spell scaling effects (ex: deal +1 for each poison on enemies) are displayed in a different colour to Spell actions.
  
• Steel keyword has been removed and its effect is just inlined into the Spell like other scaling effects..
  
• Added additional decoration onto Spells purchased at Event Shops
  
• Manifold’s effect now fires the Copying Spell Particles™ from the spell and not the enemy target.
  
• The Muddled spell status now works by adding the Muddle keyword to Spells, making it more consistent.
  
• Bramble Badge renamed Briar to keep it legally distinct from the Spell of the same name
  
• Arawn’s Magic Shield has a yellow outline like Resilient. I guess this is the new visual language for conditional invincibility.
  
• Aspect of Arawn is blue with some particles to try and clarify they are not the real deal
  

Balance Changes

• More enemy attacks have keywords like Aimless and Barrage.
  
• Morte never opens with their Hex attack.
  
• Stones added to the board can now go into empty space (they will still ignore the player path, this is mostly so you can add stones after Tabula Rasa)
  
• Spells with the Life Tap keyword no longer have weird hand-picked exceptions that let “attack spell only” badges work on them.
  
• Ceremonial Dagger Badge now applies a keyword called Simplify that reduces cast sequences by 1, rather than doing it directly, to play nice with the new Reagent keyword.
  
• Harpoon Badge now adds 2 damage rather than True Strike
  
• Soap Badge damage decreased to 1 damage per bubble with a damage cap of 10
  
• Arcane Retain (Patchouli Badge) now has a 50% chance to keep any stone, rather than a 100% chance to keep just regular stones.
  
• Grabber Badge has gained Longshot and 1 damage
  
• Harpoon Badge now has Cruel instead of Longshot
  
• Gladiator Helm damage modifier removed (previously -25%)
  
• Playing Card Badge increases damage by 25% rather than 150% and adds SuperFlux rather than Flux
  
• The keywords Flux and SuperFlux now add a random variance between plus or minus 3 from the current value (minimum 0) rather from 1 to the current value. SuperFlux still won’t apply to scaling values like “+X damage for each Spell cast.”
  
• Corrupted spells use Flux under the hood so their damage is in a tighter range
  
• Corrupted spells no longer have True Strike and can be mitigated entirely if hitting into Plate or an emptied Resilient
  
• All spells that damage the caster have the new Stoic keyword, which prevents the damage value from being changed by status effects
  

Spell Changes

• Gwen’s Fire Bolt Spell no longer exists.
  
• Gwen’s Sonic damage is now 3 rather than 5, and has Pierce, which will hit enemies behind
  
• Gwen’s Chaff deals 6 damage base rather than 4 and removes all Jammers
  
• Ceridwen’s Manifold’s effect, copying itself over exhausted Spells, will not consider the casting Spell as a target.
  
• Ceridwen’s Absorb spell now deals 5 damage instead of 3, has the Ally keyword (targets your summons only), and Mega Refresh keyword (defeating a target removes Cooldown and Exhaust from all Spells)
  
• Ceridwen’s Drain spell is now called Mercurial
  
• Ceridwen’s Mercurial spell no longer has DoubleCast (see SuperFlux changes)
  
• Ceridwen’s Reap no longer has a limit on Soul Gems
  
• Ceridwen’s Pact also adds 2 Power
  
• Ceridwen’s Rite no longer adds Power, but makes the next spell have Double Cast
  
• Ceridwen summons that appear behind her have their health raised to 5 (act 1) or 6
  
• Aerfen’s Berserk rage bonus x3 instead of x2
  
• Aerfen’s Violence rage bonus x3 instead of x2
  
• Aerfen’s Defiance has 4 base damage and Pierce
  
• Aerfen’s Tackle reworked to 3 damage, 4 stones, Haymaker and Pierce
  
• Blodeuwedd’s second starting spells have changed.
  
• Blodeuwedd’s Bramble and Synthesis both have one less stone.
  
• Blodeuwedd’s Spring now gives 1 Strength and Wild instead of Exhaust
  
• Blodeuwedd’s Thorned Rose and Bush spells both have Wild instead of Exhaust
  
• Blodeuwedd’s Thorned Rose and Bush summons heal 3 and 1 respectively each turn.
  
• Arawn’s Transmute has swapped a Corrupt Stone for a blue stone
  
• Arawn’s Chaos Bolt deals 2-8 damage rather than 1-8 (see Flux changes)
  
• Arawn’s Corruption has the Corrupt Stone placed at the front.
  
• Arawn’s Accord now has SuperFlux and gives 0-3 Power instead of 2
  
• Arawn’s Bleak has SuperFlux instead of Pain
  
• Arawn’s Humble lost a stone and is no longer 5 damage, Engage, Giantslayer. Instead it is 6 damage, AutoFirst, Barrage, Exhaust
  
• Arawn’s Famine is now 0-6 damage and 0-5 leech, rather than 1-6 and 1-4 (see SuperFlux changes)
  

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a bug where the map could place the boss right next to the entrance on cramped maps
  
• Fixed a bug where hitting for zero damage with Lifetap caused a block icon to appear with no value.
  
• Fixed a bug where status effects were not factored into spells that use enemy damage (ex: Defiance)
