Patch v0.2.9
Greetings, Oaklings!
New Feature: Miriel
Miriel is an angel who appears when you run out of lives
She will revive you with 1 heart, and you can choose between 2 bonuses.
This is inspired by the same revival mechanic from The Bazaar, and aims to give players a last chance to make their build shine.
New item
Icicle | Legendary | Magic, Frosty | 45 gold | 3.2s cooldown | 0 damage | "On trigger: Freeze a random enemy item for 2s. (This can't get reduced CD)"
Other
🔸 Lyra 2nd option rework: Absolute Zero | "Start of Combat: Freeze all enemy items for 2s".
🔸 Matchmaking has been improved.
🔸 Rating gain has now been adjusted to take average opponent rating into account. (You will gain more rating if you faced opponents with higher rating than you). Only below grandmaster.
🔸 You can now see the average opponent rating for your run in the end game screen.
🔸 Potions and Special Items have been added to the item codex!
🔸 Health cap removed. The way you gain Max HP from leveling up has been changed. It is no longer a simple 30% increase, instead an advanced formula is used that increases your max HP by a flat amount + some percentage. The health increase has diminishing returns. The Max HP you gain thoughout the game is roughly the same early game, but a bit more from level 5 onwards.
🔸 Walk on Water (Carmen) rework: "Increase your max health by +750 now and at the start of each day."
🔸 Added an option under Settings to always offer Carmen in casual mode.
Hotkeys:
🔸 You can now press SPACE to:
Continue from the shop.
Press the PvP encounter.

Press "Continue" when combat is finished.
Open the shop.
🔸 You can now press "F" to freeze/unfreeze the shop.
