Major Features
Run Difficulty You can now choose between different run difficulty, those modify the game to become harder, but grant better soul-coin reward. There is some ideas to make higher difficulty more rewarding to players that could come in the future like special version of equipment, or other unique interesting mechanics. There is 4 Different Run Difficulty available:
Normal Mode - The default difficulty of the game, nothing change from how the game were used to be
Maximum Gear tier: Infinity + 99
Expert Mode - An noticeable increase in Difficulty, Unlocked after you start completing challenges, This can serve to give a bit more of difficulty to player that find the vanilla game too easy from E-rank to A-rank

Effective equipment tier exponent is ^0.9 Each tier has a tier (F = 1, A = 6, Infinity+1 = 15) This value is exponented by ^0.9 and then ceiled This mean that is only start affected gear at S-tier, and the effect slightly increase as you get higher tier, Infinity +499 gear would become about Infinity ~+250 for the duration of the run
Soulcoin gain is multiplied by 10

End of Stage Event
Stage now has a 10% chance to have an event on completion.
This will allow an increase of importance to players choices
The last stage before boss have 20% chance to be a bonfire event (but cannot have other event)
To compensate this, event have a 30% less common as a stage typeS-Rank World
Provide a completely different level of difficulty, with a much more aggressive scaling of enemies health and damage over the run as well as a few minor change to some bosses
I know it going to be completely destroyed by veteran, but it should still prove a huge increase in difficulty to most player that finished with A-rank Require the completion of 20 challengesZone Modifier
Zone have a chance to have modifiers (both positive and negative) First loop always have one zone choice that won't have any modifiers (except in S-rank) The higher you are in loops, the more modifiers (both positive and negative) can appearChange to camera perspective
This is a change I made to gain quality on Volumetric like without having to increase it's performance costThis technically doesn't change angle or how much thing is display on screen, but it definitely make the game look different I know some player won't like the new camera, so there is a game option to revert back to the old camera perspective (Game Option > Visual > Camera)
Reworked Infinite Material progression Infinite material tier is now set-up in 4 tier, each fitting to a range of equipment tiers:
Tier 1 is used for equipment from infinite +1 to infinite +99
Tier 2 is used for equipment from infinite +100 to +499 (can only be obtained in Expert mode)
Tier 3 is used for equipment from infinite +500 to +999 (can only be obtained in Mythic mode)
Last tier is used for equipment above Infinite +1000 (can only be obtained in Ascended mode)
Added a new mechanics of "Over-Killing" to player
(only enabled in Expert Mode and above)
When you receive damage (after defence and damage mitigation and all damage reduction effect) multiple order of magnitude above your max health, you are instantly killed, ignoring all damage dodging mechanics (and evasion damage capping)
In Mythic and Ascended, you can get "Ultra-Overkilled", which also completely ignore all death dodging mechanics, but OoM requirement is significantly higherDuelist rework
Increase base health from 60 to 100
Reduced Defense cap of Duelist from 75% to 50%
Duelist no longer start with -10 defense, but -2 base defense and x0.5 defense multiplier
Duelist now gain 5% damage scaling from power every time her Death door ability is used until the end of the run
Death door ability disable anachronistic during the debuff duration
Black Market
Black market is a very rare variant of shop, that allow player to obtain card that they shouldn't be able to obtain at the moment
It can range from banished card, to card that you are still missing the requirement, or ever card exclusive to other avatars !
There is also a rare chance of the shop offering you an evolution for cards that you don't even own yet !
However, price in the black-market scale with the gold you already own !
Unlocked by Investing 10 million gold coin to the shop keeper Once unlocked, normal shop have 1% chance to be replaced by a blackmarket (+0.2% * log1e7( Investment))
(Black-market has an additional discount equal to log10x(Investment/1e7)x0.01 up to 1e32 gold invested)
Above that, the formula is 0.25 + log10x(Investment/1e32)x0.0025 The discount is multiplicative to the discount of normal shop; Black Market also have much lower chance to appear at lower world rank)
Huge refactoring of statistics
Game now support any number of calculation step, called LayersThere is still the default steps: "Base/Multiplier/Post", but also Late Multiplier (inserted after Multiplier and before Post), and Conversion (Added after Post) that allow conversion card to use effect of non-conversion post cards
Major QoL
Ability to pin card in the encyclopedia during a run with Right click Pinned card will be put forward in card selection, as well as the required card to obtain it
Added Talent loadout Similarly to equipment loadout, you can now swap between multiple custom loadout for talents
Some challenge now add rain in game
Added search field for modifiers crafting
Custom Game Setting You can now modify many setting related to your game (unlocked after completing A-rank) Some setting disable rewards (like starting gold, challenge Game rules or custom stat value) Settings are ordering in category,
First is simple On/off toggle you can find in some challenge
Second are number value you can find in some challenges
Third are challenges modifier that level can be set (yes you can stack any leveled challenges as you wish)
Last category allow you to edit your default stats
Recursive tooltip (finally)
Hovering for long enough or clicking a keyword now lock the tooltip menu, allowing to over keyword in the same tooltip.Timing can be modified in options
QoL
Forge Menu improvement The forge now display the player's equipment on the left side, with a button allowing to switch with the inventory The loadout dropdown only affect the forge equipment and is not applied. Depending on feedback I can easily change this behaviours

Added large Wheat field that contain numerous crate hidden all over

Equipment system can now also be unlocked by completing any challenge for the first time
Equipment button is no longer hidden on new profiles (but greyed out)
Equipment tooltip now add a small warning alongside level requirement if the item is not equippable on the current avatar
Added custom Damage number for infinite damage
Added some additional visual change on stage selection based on which challenge you are playing
Added chain Visuals to item that are locked (cannot be removed/replaced during the run)
Added a Key bind to swap auto-leveling up mode
Unique items that you already obtained are highlighted in yellow in challenge tooltip (instead of being white; this only apply if you currently have them in your inventory or equipped)
Key binds can now be unbinded
Equipping item action now try to find a free slot before replacing the first slot available (notably for accessories)

Equipment tooltip now display comparison with currently equipped item in the same slot
Added a small FX when enemies would spawn
Highest and lowest ever reached value of stats are now stored for achievements check
(this mean that reaching a stats value and then losing it before an achievements check no longer prevent you from unlocking said achievement)New Experimental option - Progressive Equipment level requirement
When enabled, Equipment are instantly Active even when you don't have the level requirement, but their efficiency slowly increase to 100% as you reach their level requirement
(I am not sure how much of a change it would bring into equipment balancing, so I keep it disabled by default)
That about one third of the patchnote, but should give you a preview of what's coming
