Hey everyone, I got a really quick patch out fixing some major issues and making a few balance changes. The response has been amazing so far!

Patch Notes 1.1 | 3-30-2020

[h2]--Spells--[/h2]

All spells with Gain 1 Flow : "Gain 1->2 Flow"

Flow was too hard to keep going unless you had only Flow spells. Gaining 2 Flow per spell gives you a nice amount of wiggle room for other synergies. This should also help Flow artifacts see more use outside of Flow builds.

[h3]Earth Prayer[/h3]
Gain Flow: 3->4


[h3]Rock Cycle[/h3]
Gain Flow: 1->0
Damage: 40->60

Rock Cycle was a bit too spammable infinitely. This still lets you spam Rock Cycle with the right build, just not forever.


[h3]Waterfall[/h3]
Damage: 80->50
Gain Flow: 1->0
Anchor: No->Yes
(also added a green glow when you have flow)

Waterfall did way too much damage without any risk. Adding anchor gives some tradeoff for the terrible terrible damage it can deal.

Hopefully this helps make Flow more accessible and gives you more freedom with it. I still want it to be a powerful build if you have all Flow cards, but now there's more thought in balancing your stacks with Rock Cycle and Waterfall.


[h3]Kunai[/h3]
Anchor: No->Yes

Kunais are a bit too strong right now. Watchlist.


[h3]Mine[/h3]
Duration: 10->12

This should give you a little more time to activate Mine


[h3]Sera Cannon[/h3]
Cost: 2->3

Sera Cannon can be a little too powerful without too much risk. Watchlist.


[h3]Shield Beam[/h3]
Damage: 10->20
Shield on Hit: 10->20
Shots: 4->2
Time Between Shots: 0.11s->0.2s

Shield Beam could get a little too powerful with shield upgrades and hitting multiple targets. The shot reduction also makes it feel a bit snappier


[h2]--Weapons--[/h2]

Slightly increased the cooldown for Bullet Hell Gunner's weapons. I want it to be more of a relaxed gameplay option, but their dps was a bit too high to experience the game.


[h2]--Artifacts--[/h2]

[h3]Beret [/h3](Shopkeeper starting item)
Health Dropped: 90%->80%

Shopkeeper was a bit too resilient to getting hit.


[h3]Luna[/h3]
Rarity: 0->2


Pet MaxHP increase per battle: 40->25



[h2]--Other--[/h2]

[h3]Co-op[/h3]
Base mana regen: x1->x2

Allowing both players to cast spells at a normal frequency should make co-op more fun and hopefully a bit more rewarding for the difficulty it adds.


[h3]Modding[/h3]
Added a 'Mods' folder to StreamingAssets
Made updates use the 'YourMods' folder
Increased font size of mod descriptions
Made mods disable achievements
Fixed mods dissappearing after updating a mod


[h3]Quality of Life[/h3]
Added a short hold for Skipping rewards, Upgrading, and Removing
Adjusted health values for ending bosses
Max Mana pact is now temporary during battle
Reva's assist is more reliable
