-Demonia's kit is built heavily around the new health modifying weapons and equipment, find ways to maximize using your health as a resource of power
-Demonia's main weapon Bloodletter. Scythe that costs health to attack, does more damage per missing health (stacks with missing health bonus items)

-abilities have had a visual change from before
-X-18's main weapon Laser Beam now hits multiple ticks on enemies, similar to the laser weapon. X-18 is now viable

-Cyra's ultimate was added. Fire her sniper rifle at the largest available enemy dealing massive damage to anything in it's path
