Versus Changes
CPU improvements
CPU now has a level 10 difficulty (that blatantly cheats)
“Shuffle All” is now the default level setting. Stage order is fully randomized and its difficulty is adjusted for how early/late the stage is in a match. The music for the match will be that of the first stage.
Junk now scales with the gem meter. Chains send more junk with each bar of gem meter.
Exit door now sends 4 junk instead of 8; however, it sends an additional 4 junk per stage ahead of the opponent.
New Custom Hat presets
You can now create and save your own custom presets for your favourite hats! Pick up to 12 different hats per preset, equip them all with the press of a button and label them with their own preset names.
New Hats
Summoning Slouch: Random units spawn occasionally.
Monstrous Montera: Transform into a monster.
Dungstalker: Beetos spawn everywhere.
Spinwulf Snood: Move two tiles at a time.
No-Peek Nightcap: The UI is gone.
Extrovert Hat: Can’t attack loner foes or blocks.
Updated Endless Mode
You can now set the starting loop for endless mode from the hub. This will only affect the endless route and not other game modes (to do that, you can go into Settings -> Adventure)
After loop 1, you’ll be able to meet Chester in Plains even after reaching the relic limit. This works until you amass 32 or more relics.
When skipping loops, Chester will provide you an assortment of relics to choose from to give you a head start.
Loop difficulty changes: - Loop 1: Legendary units may show up - Loop 2: Legendary hazards and big units may show up. - Loop 3: Legendary units, big units and hazards show up more frequently. Future loops increase this chance. - Random units start showing up rarely, increasing slightly in frequency each loop. - Durability slightly decreases each loop starting on loop 5. - One less chest each stage starting on loop 10. - HP scales more on loops beyond 10.
Changes
Prism Knight’s clones spawn with one more HP.
Scrap Knight B no longer teleports units around if she moves after tossing her bag.
Knights now have a waiting animation while fast-forwarding.
Bug Fixes
Fixed King Knight’s bash didn’t deal damage when bashing water tiles.
Fixed Shield Knight B wouldn’t recover her shield after defeating the Enchantress
Fixed Cogslotters wouldn’t drop their cog if flipped.
Miscellaneous fixes.
