War Hammer remake: it smashes the way you move and strikes once per projectile in a quick chain.
New gem: Bloodstone, which raises Crit Damage by 5% every level.
Legendary blessing remakes: Spy's Dagger, Last Stand and Immortal Heart.
The Rat King has a new move that lays his tail across the ground behind you to cut off your path.
Bosses
The Rat King's tail hurts on contact for the 4 seconds it lies on the ground.
The Rat King now bites from farther away, aiming where you are about to move.
Rat swarm charge interval: 12s ⇒ 8s
The rat swarm charge now covers more than twice the width and leaves a gap twice as wide, so you have to find the gap instead of walking out of it.
Bosses chase faster with each enrage step.
While caught in the Warden's bars, you can't use dash, roll, teleport or swap skills either.
Balance
In the Old Prison, ★★★ locked elites get tougher the later you release them.
When a boss fight starts, ★★★ locked elites still out go back to their cells.
Spy's Dagger: 1% chance on hit to execute a normal enemy ⇒ executes normal and elite enemies at 12% HP or less after a hit; a boss takes one 6% max HP strike the first time it drops under 12%
Last Stand explosion at 30% HP or less: weapon DPS × 3.5 ⇒ weapon DPS × 3.5 × Damage
Immortal Heart: +45% Lifesteal while overhealed ⇒ once every 90 seconds, survive a killing blow at 30% max HP with 2 seconds of invulnerability, pushing nearby enemies away
Orbital Blade and Holy Orb now spin faster with Projectile Speed, up to twice as fast.
Chaos Orb random stat pool: 20 ⇒ 21, now including Crit Damage
Sapphire Cooldown Reduction per level: 6% ⇒ 9%
Diamond Extra Projectiles on first pickup: 0.3 ⇒ 0.5, which rounds up to one extra projectile right away
When a fireball explosion crits, on-crit effects trigger once per explosion.
Damage you take from Poop now counts as being hit, so on-hit effects and Last Stand go off.
Warm Puffer can now be wagered at the Lucky Altar.
Improvements

You can start right away at character select without picking a skill version first.

The official benchmark scene is now always the same, whatever you have unlocked.
Benchmark results now show CPU FPS and a stutter rate.

Level-up cards and the Build window now show the relics, gems and ignored stats tied to a weapon as icons.
The Build window's relic tab has a recipe list view.

Redrew the Hunter's Kaleidoscope effect, the Plaguecaster's Catalyst icon, the Rat King's cloak and lightning strikes.
