Hello. This update brings attack animations for all characters, new synergy possibilities, smoother gameplay with a controller and plenty of other general changes.
New character attack animations
Another update already brought attack animations to the Warrior character but now all the characters have them. It doesn't sound like a big addition but it does add a certain new feel to the monster mashing.
New synergy possibilities
The weapon and item synergies have been opened up to include a lot more combinations. In addition the synergy powers are stronger on average and the UI has some additions to highlight them better.
Smoother controller movement
Thanks to player feedback the character movement is now more precise with a gamepad, allowing full 360 degree movement instead of only in 8 directions.
Other notable changes
The Watch Tower no longer fires automatically when in its radius. You have to activate it manually and it has a cooldown once used like many other buildings. It is now also more powerful and scales over time (not tied to character stats anymore).
Library and Bandit Camp have extra multipliers based on their use.
Fetch mission rewards are higher than on normal missions.
