You should finish your saved runs before updating to this patch, or you'll gain less mana per turn than you should if you are in Sectors 2 or 3!
Highlights
- HUGE MANA PROGRESSION CHANGES! Now you gain 1 mana by default instead of 2, and at the end of every boss battle, you'll earn an additional unremovable trinket that increases the mana gained per turn by 1. That means that you'll gain 3 mana per turn by default in Sector 3! There have been a lot of balance changes due to this adjustment, check them out below.
Keep in mind that you'll still recharge one spell mana per turn, so spells are now more important than ever in Sector 1!
- Six new maps! Two in sector 1, three in sector 2 and one in sector 3.
- Now there is a small indicator next to the current mana counter that displays the amount of mana you'll gain next turn.
- Many bug fixes! Check them out below.
