1.2.0 — The Barrier Update

• Boss fight walls are gone. Every boss now carries its own barrier that moves with it.
  
• Unlocking characters no longer costs souls. Unlock conditions are shown from the start, and souls you already spent are refunded.
  
• The Necromancer is now the Plaguecaster, with a new look.
  
• The Laser Beam now hits once per projectile, for the same total damage. On-hit effects trigger once per shot.
  

Bosses

• Outside a boss's barrier, its attacks keep getting stronger, it chases you faster the farther you go, and the screen edges glow red. Step back inside and it weakens again.
  
• Walking bosses path better: they take a route that fits their size and go around walls to reach you. If you stand where they can't reach, they come as close as they can and wait.
  
• Enrage of a boss still alive when the next boss arrives: immediately ⇒ after 3 minutes
  
• New art for the Vampire Count and the Grave Revenant, and for the Warden's and Roll-Call Officer's attack effects.
  

Balance

• Burns and Fireball splashes can now crit.
  
• Thorn Knight Damage Reduction: 10% ⇒ 13%, Thorns Base: 20 ⇒ 32
  
• Thorn Knight's Thorn Explosion from Bramblekeep and Impaler against elites and bosses: x1 ⇒ x2
  
• Ranger gets 25% more Magnet Range and shrine capture speed, and picks up chests and blessings from farther away.
  
• Bard's Rhythm Roulette timing window is over 3 times wider, and Rhythm Guard keeps you immune for 0.5s after the performance.
  
• Centaur's Trailblazer fire and Sage's Wildbloom burning ground no longer last longer with Duration.
  
• Invisible Robe minimum cooldown: 5s ⇒ 10s, maximum count: 26 ⇒ 21
  
• Adrenaline now uses the current Move Speed the stats window shows, so speed from blessings and skills raises its damage too.
  
• Each extra Flame Blade makes its fire zone burn damage 25% stronger and spread farther.
  
• Drone shots now fly faster with Projectile Speed.
  
• Relic effects a recipe weapon never used now give that weapon one it does:
  
  
  
  • Storm Master on the Tesla Coil: Chain +5 ⇒ Area x1.3
    
  • Death Beam on the Laser Beam: Pierce +1 ⇒ Area x1.25
    
  • Archer's Eye on the Laser Beam: Pierce +1 ⇒ Area x1.2
