Praise Dead - Major Update v 1.1
Meta-progression
Hello everyone! In this major update I have added 25 new meta-progression upgrades that will greatly change the way your zombies do battle. These upgrades start off as simple stat improvements and can work their way up to exploding critical strikes that do damage to the entire field.
Each upgrade can be taken at least once, but many can have multiple points you can allocate into them.
Upgrades also have tiers which indicate their power level. For a rank 10 upgrade you will first need to allocate 10 meta-progression points before they become available. These points can be divided however you choose.
New Necromancer
In addition to the meta-progression system, I have also added a new necromancer that relies on dealing damage by taking damage. Necromancer Springstep is equipped with a new boss relic, Prickles the Hedgehog. This hedgehog gives all zombies +8 spike damage, making them very painful to attack. Springstep also has the wooden shield as their minor relic which prevents 4 incoming damage.
I believe this necromancer will help unlock a more passive approach to defeating the game, where your zombies try to mitigate as much damage as possible, and allow the monsters to remove themselves from the battle.
That's all for now but expect more free content and updates in the near future. Please check out the full patch notes below.
