Necromancer’s New Profession – Puppeteer
Master of control with an army of undead ready to battle and chain reaction potential. Synergy between puppet types as well as being able to use skillpoints to maximize their potential. This profession will prove useful in overwhelming your foes and protecting the ones you summon to do the fighting for you. Transcended form has major changes allowing you to utilize your Extended Reach to deal damage from a far.
Finalized Puppeteer Skill List
Extended Reach Skill
This skill allows you to deal damage in a 3×2 area when using mana to attack and can be used while transcended! In certain cases, you can attack enemies over certain obstacles as long as the direction you are going is not blocked. I’ve reworked transcend so the Soul Survivor profession can now use Magic Range+ while transcended!
New 100 Overworld Chunks
I can’t stress enough of how much of a huge milestone this is. To put this into perspective, Overworld has 50 chunks, but only 30 are used after reaching a low step threshold. Repetition is one of the major flaws for OneBit and 100 new chunks will help fix that tremendously. I’ve also made chunks spawn more uniquely by preventing chunks to repeat by having the level generator go through 50% of the maps before repeating. New biomes will be coming in the next major update which will help create zones in the Overworld map so you can expect more variety and different enemies to appear in those zones.
More Spellcasting Improvements
You can now spam to your hearts content as the ability to re-cast a skin is now possible! This works for any spellcast that uses mana which includes Necromancer’s Beyond the Grave. The sound queue for activation will be muted upon re-casting and you can view how much mana you have on that screen!
5 New Dungeon Entrances
The world is becoming more alive with each new entrance! Caves, Ruins, Castle, Underworld, and Depths of the Sea have all gotten a touch up and will be a new standard for dungeons in general.
Customize Your Skill UI
A huge quality of life feature is the power to move your skills UI to wherever you want. You can make them big or small, invisible, align them, etc. As of now, the game saves portrait and landscape layout separately so you can cross sync and have 2 different layouts between Steam and Mobile.
New Class-Based Leaderboards – No Rewards At This Time
I have decided to hold back on giving rewards for class-based rankings in favor of introducing more unique rewards in the near future. Stay tuned, but for now, you can rank based off your class and see how much steps others are making in those categories.
New Prestige Token
Some love resetting characters to grind back to 100 and others want to grind their character only once. Prestige Tokens are here to provide that option in the premium shop with choices of 1, 3, or 5 tokens and only works for Classic characters. These tokens will only be visible in the Prestige screen and the premium shop. You don’t need a token to prestige. Once you reach level 100, you can prestige for free or with the token to prevent resetting the character.
More Xp and Less Grind for Level 70-100
I can now say the grind isn’t as much of a brick wall than it was before. Normal enemies now give 100% more scaling xp making the level up process in later stages a whole lot better.
Final Thoughts
Thank you for your support and feedback. The 100 new chunks have been received very well in terms of reducing repetition throughout the game. I look forward to the many joys that this update will provide and stay tuned for the next major update as Pyromancer’s 2nd tier profession will be priority and much more professions throughout the year.
