New Sentinel - Gnome Balloonist
- Additional Aerial Support has arrived! Gnome Balloonists will position themselves around a map providing extra ceiling space in various locations. Multiple Gnome Balloonists are guaranteed to spawn on larger maps, while on smaller maps there is a chance for a single Balloonist to spawn.
- Dev Note: We saw a lot of feedback that the outdoor areas of many of the larger maps were lacking in ceiling space. Ceiling space is intentionally limited on most maps, but the Gnome Balloonist should serve to alleviate the lack of ceiling options in many of the wide-open spaces.
Rift Surges
- Rift Surges are an area coursing with Rift magic. Rift Surges have a chance to appear on any map after Mission 1 of a Run. Traps placed within the Rift Surge area will receive a 2x damage buff.
- Rift Surge Elixir has been added to the Alchemist. This Elixir guarantees that a Rift Surge will appear on all maps for the Run.
- Dev Note: We’ve heard players asking for more reasons to play in different areas of maps. We hope the damage buff provided by Rift Surges will encourage players to swap their boxes to these locations when they appear, without feeling like they are forced to.
Kobold Mounds
- Kobold Mounds have a chance to spawn during a wave on any Mission. Once a mound appears, it will begin spawning Kobolds after a brief delay. Kobolds will continue to spawn from the mound until it is destroyed by the player, or it runs out of kobolds to spawn.
- Dev Note: We wanted to add another random element to levels that can sometimes draw a player’s attention. While these can increase the difficulty of a Mission when they appear, we believe War Mages will be able to handle the Kobold threat.
Traps
- Orc Eater (Organic Trap)
- A large plant that instantly kills small enemies by eating them. This is an organic floor trap that can also target fliers.
New Level - Resort Canal
- An all-new Dual Rift map.
- Dev Note: Resort is a larger map closer to the size of other maps at the launch of the game. This map was originally intended to be our first addition post-launch but was shifted around as we worked on bringing in the recent smaller maps. We will continue evaluating feedback on map size for any future map additions.
