v0.90 Patch notes (The tenth update!)
New Additions and Changes
- Added a new level to the Heart (in Lobby). It requires 500 fragments (though this value may be lower depending on how old your save files are) and 1 Core Shard (dropped by final boss) to level up. Level up the Heart to unlock the new content below.
- Added 5 playable classes (including starting class)! Each class has 5 levels, each level unlocks 3 things (skills, trinkets etc). Old unlockables of the starting class are now unlocked by default, and all unlockables of the starting class are new content. Starting class character sprite updated.
- The 5 playable classes and unlock conditions: The Neutron (starting class) The Caster - Unlocked by default The Brawler - Randomly appears in secret rooms in Area3 The Shopkeeper - Unlocked by reaching the final shop upgrade (if you've already reached this, simply buy something from a shop and you'll unlock this) The Voidling - Unlocked by defeating the final boss 5+ times (if you've already done this, defeating the boss once more will unlock this)
- Below are all class unlockables: Added 26 new skills Added 29 new trinkets Added 11 new spells Added 6 new items
- Added 55 Mimic-exclusive skills. What are Mimic-exclusive skills you say? You'll have to find out yourself ;)
- Added a new Lobby NPC! This NPC allows you to enable "Challenge Options" that'll add new challenges to your runs (such as stronger enemies or deadlier traps :D). Each Challenge Option enabled will also give you an exp boost; this should help you level up the new player classes and unlock the new stuff faster!
- Added 14 Challenge Options
- New Debuff: Echo - "Store 50% of damage received from skills. On turn start, take and reset stored damage"
- New Debuff: Contrary - "Health healing received by this unit is inverted to damage instead"
- New Debuff: Hijack - "Buffs gained by this unit is transferred to the opponent instead"
- Introduced Active Trinkets. These trinkets have an Active effect that will trigger when clicked on
