Hello, Pebble Knights!
This update introduces new honey weapons that summon Bee Buddies to attack enemies for you, along with a devilish Electric Guitar that confuses nearby enemies.
We have also made minions smarter, adjusted game balance, and fixed a wide range of bugs.
Check out the full details below.
[New Weapons]
Honey Dipper and Honey Gun
Added 'Honey Dipper,' a new melee weapon, and 'Honey Gun,' a new ranged weapon. Simply holding either weapon summons a Bee Buddy that attacks enemies for you.
Hitting an enemy with the Honey Dipper or Honey Gun applies Honey-Coated, making that enemy the bees' top priority!
Electric Guitar
Added the new 'Electric Guitar.' Its devilish music confuses nearby enemies.
The Electric Guitar now plays upbeat music when held or swung. Rock on! 🤘
[New Legendary Trait]
Heaven's Wrath!
Added the new Legendary Trait 'Heaven's Wrath!' It continuously summons Bee Buddies and Hornet Buddies.
[Minions]
Summoned buddies now follow their owner instead of standing still when there are no enemies to attack.
Reduced the maximum number of Weaponmons summoned by 'I Choose You!' from 2 to 1 and made them smaller.
'Hive Mind' now summons 3x as many minions, up from 2x.
Added summon sound effects for various minions.
[Balance Changes]
Fixed an issue where damage from surface meteorites and other map hazards scaled too aggressively in the late game.
Increased the amount of time before Devil Weapons disappear, making them less likely to be lost.
