Happy Lunar New Year!
Last week, we added the Dancing Dragon in celebration of the Lunar New Year, and you seemed to like it very much. And of course, you can still find it in the shop!
The same goes for the Wolpertinger, or I have heard players call it, the bunny! This patch slightly nerfs Wolpertinger's stamina bonus, but as a little redemption, we are giving it the "Nature" type.
This week's new item is the Heart Container - a Valentine's Day-themed shop item available for both classes! It gives you Regeneration, but also uses it to fill up and grant you bonuses.
This week, we also published the first devlog video about Backpack Battles on our YouTube channel!
We talk about why we started developing it a year ago, what challenges we faced, and how we managed to gather over 470,000 wishlists.
As always, the patch comes with tons of bugfixes and balancing adjustments. Check out the full patch notes below or in-game!
