Version 1.0.5
With this patch, we're delivering several milestone elements from our planned roadmap (see below), including:
- launch a new season!
- add a new banner system
- deliver significant QoL and bug fixes!
New / Changes
- GENERALIST BANNER SYSTEM: Choose 2 banners from 5 different tower types and earn a powerful specialization as a reward!
- NEW SEASON: A new season has begun – many things have changed. You can still view the results of the last season.
The following badges are awarded for the previous season:
- Endless Mode Scaling Modifiers: Enemies gain special resistance scaling over time. In turn, spell base damage now scales as well.
- Shadow Tornados (Tornado x Shadow Fusion) now trigger Darkness (Shadow Banner effect), but no longer trigger Overdose (Shadow Banner)
- Frost spells now override Frost Tower effects (and cannot be overwritten by Frost Towers)
- Reroll function for Hero Choice added via a new Hero Tower Meta Perk
- Added button to open chests (for cases where visibility is blocked)
- City-building icons now change color based on the upgrade completion of their respective building
Major bug fixes
- Fixed special case of invisible chests
- Fixed bug preventing spells from being triggered
