Removal of Priority Mechanic
Based on feedback that the priority mechanic overly relied on luck, it has been removed. Now, allies will always take turns before enemies. Traits related to priority have also been removed.
Changes to Act 2/3 Introductory Rewards
The options of +1 dice or +1 draw at the start of Acts 2 and 3 were deemed overpowered, so they have been adjusted as follows:
- Hic's Rear Support: Max HP +50%, Draw +1.
- Illa's Rear Support: Adds dice [1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3], Draw +1.
- Is's Rear Support: Gain 2 traits, Draw +1.
Tool Pool Changes on Creation
When creating random tools, the following tool types have been excluded. This applies to both players and enemies, including the Act 3 final boss:
- Tools that destroy your own tools.
- Tools related to gold.
- Tools that deal self-damage.
- Tools that remove characters.
- Tools with draw effects.
