Major Changes
A-rank World
Added A-rank world, requiring you to complete 20 challenges before accessing it Added Void Dimension zone Introduced Corrupted enemies, a rare and powerful variant of non-elite monsters. Swarm stage can now appear anywhere in A-rankB-rank and A-rank Survivors mode
Reactive Card Weight based on player picks
Cards that are not picked multiple times in a row will see their drop weight reduced the more they get ignored by the players. This should lead to the game more properly giving out cards the player is looking for. The reduced weight starts after not picking a card more than 4 times. Picking a card resets its counter.Run loops
After completing certain events in the manor, you'll unlock run looping. Event: Get more than 500 corruption in the Mirror event in the manor, and you'll have the possibility to break the mirror, which unlocks the loop. After finishing a run, you'll then have the possibility to loop. You start back at the first zone with much stronger enemies and higher XP rewards. Each loop increases equipment quality dropped by 4. You cannot loop again if an enemy has reached infinity health during a loop.
