Happy Holiday season everyone!

The year is almost over so what better way to close it off than with our last VOC-Pass entries! The VOC-Pass was our gift to our loyal fans and something of a challenge to Gal and myself - we promised you 2 updates and at least 4 new VOCs per month, and I'm proud to say that we've achieved just that! With EndCycle VS 2.3 we've released 4 updates, 2 new Styles and 9 exciting new VOCs since the beginning of the Pass back in October! Try to top that Santa!

2.3 is our farewell update to the VOC Pass but we'll of course still update EndCycle VS regularly especially after our December tournament! We made sure to make this the best update yet so you'll have a lot to play with before our next update drops! Let's get to it

VOCS

SNACKER

Who doesn't love a good turret? With this devious addition to your arsenal you'll spawn a SNACKER-object which keeps firing until its HP run out!
Here's a fun idea for ya: Flip the SNACKER to give yourself several HP boosts! This stacks really well with Fins new ability "Hyperactive"!

MAGNADE

Is your opponent playing too many objects for your taste? Make them your enemies downfall with MAGNADE! Magnade gives your opponent the MAGNET ailment which attracts all objects around them!
Pro tip: Use Magnade to give misplaced cubes a second chance at glory!

STYLES

MAGNET

This Style grants the targeted entity the "MAGNET" ailment! Use this to your advantage - take your turret on the go for instance!

REPEL

This Style grants the targeted entity the "REPEL" ailment! Push away unwanted entities and objects! "SENPAI" now grants you this ailment automatically!

CHARAKTERS

Several charakters have received new abilities and/or have gotten their abilities revised! This will make for some interactions during our next tournament on December 11th

YVEN

Yvens ultra is now much easier to land! His shards now attach themselves to himself instead of the entity he hits! This makes it much easier to put the desired effect on his Ultra-VOC!
Additionally we gave him the "Overheal" ability so stacking up green shards really pays off now! Wait a second... Overheal? Isn't that Fins ability?

FIN

Fin has evolved as a fighter! Our favorite healing specialist learned a new ability which compliments his already fanastic tanky build: HYPERACTIVE!
With this new ability every time Fin get's healed by a VOC he receives a short speed boost! So far so good! Wait that reminds me...

SOFA SOGOOD

Sofas backstabbing ability had to go. How often were you able to attck your enemies from the back anyway? We replaced with something better! RISER let's the popular furniture Noise float above any potential ground-floor danger!
After using a VOC Sofa will gain the "Float" ailment for a couple of seconds!
