New Update available!

So... last time we announced this Update to be ready by May 15 but we are actually ahead of our plannings so the Update is live... now for you to play! Including - 0.44 Steam Patch Notes - https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1280930/view/3699187161343049277

Elites rework

We have reworked all existing elite modifiers and added many new ones for a total of 13 Elite modifiers now including passive elements like Armor and Regeneration too.
Among the reworked elements we improved the rotating lasers as we knew many of you had issues with them and we completely removed the modifiers making nearby enemies invincible.
There are even 2 modifiers happening on Death of enemies so be careful about icons! (Do not worry we made sure these elements could not happen in Eclipse Room so you can enjoy you Eclipse Room victories peacefully!) The spawn rates and amount of modifiers has changed a little and we hope you will enjoy these new encounters!

New room type - Eclipse Room

Talking about Elites, we created a new room dedicated to them : the Eclipse Room, this room gives you more Keys & more Stars than any Fight Room but it is also a much harder battle.
These rooms have 3 waves and at least 3 Elites in them, they also have traps. It can be very dangerous but you can also take advantage of it by exposing enemies to the traps!
As Eclipse Room is for experienced players, you will need to defeat a world 4 boss (Libra or Aquarius) before being able to get them in your runs.

Oloon extended

As you saw, Oloon is the face of this new update and we made quite a lot of changes there! It used to be very complicated to have style with old colors, they were too flashy, complicated to match and there was not enough of them. That's why we added many new colors AND a new category of colors.

• Ayla pants
• Kiran shoes & belt
• Octave boots & belt
• Calie pants

New colors are way more natural and allow for much more variations. Oloon is pleased of your style and we hope you will be too! It will now require 144 Yalee tickets to get all colors!

Sun Room Rework

Another major rework from this update is about Sun Room. When you arrive you will be asked to choose among all elemental affinities we have in the game.
Then one gambit for each sub category of the elemental affinity will be spawned. These gambits are special, we have created a new type of gambit named Elemental Gambit that allows you to change a spell affinity to the affinity of this gambit.
To sum up how things work : when you go to the Sun room you are guaranteed to have any sub-category Gambit you could want as Myhic quality. If you want to build Sapling you can get a Mythic Sapling gambit there and this gambit will also change your spell affinity to Poison. What it means is that you can find nice Fire gambits and start equiping them on a spell that is not of Fire affinity and then later change the affinity of this spell to Fire in the Sun room.
Regarding the elemental affinities we have also made a change, Neutrals affinity used to work with any types of gambits but they are now only working with gambits that are not from the 4 main elements. The bonus damage for having 4 of the same gambits in the right affinity spell has also changed from +100% to +50%.

Many new Perks for heroes

With all the new effects we introduced in last update we did not have time to add perks related to all of them (Ice Swords, Meteors etc).
By adding these new perks we have also reworked and added some other perks for this update. For example, Octave can now summon several Bellators at once but they will be on self-destruction mode.
Heroes Signature Spells should now be a more reliable way to trigger synergies by equipping perks.

Debug and QoL changes

We have also addressed many bugs reports and added some quality of life changes that you requested such as being able to preview Auras upgrade anytime from loots and from inventory.

What is coming with next update?

This update is smaller than Auras update but it is also smaller than next update that will be about Zim-Zim and NG+! We are going to fully rework the NG+ system, adding way more elements and a different progression system making Destiny Levels a part of global runs experience and giving real incentives to collect Destiny Fragments from Zodiacs.
Everything is designed but there is a lot to do, you can expect this Update to release in second part of June! As always, thanks a lot for supporting us through this journey and let us know if you enjoy this update or if you want to share the best Oloon color changes outfit you made! Have a great week, - The Hibernian Workshop Team
