[h2]✨ Major Changes ✨[/h2] [list] [*] 🌰 [b]New Stage: Chestnut[/b] A new stage themed around chestnuts and Spikess. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45096904/2b5b797fc8bcf7fc458d4a197dedd4be9afe2f25.gif[/img] [/list] [h2]🔧 Keyword Adjustments & New Keyword: Bleed 🔧[/h2] [list=1] [*] 🧪 [b]Poison[/b] Poison is a powerful theme that focuses on stacking damage but was too strong against melee allies due to its indiscriminate area attacks. The poison mechanic has been adjusted to maintain its delayed AoE fixed damage while reducing the damage dealt to large allies. [*] 🕵️‍♂️ [b]Stealth[/b] Previously, stealth only prevented targeting but did not protect against area attacks. Now, stealth ignores all types of attacks (including their effects). As a unique player effect, we hope players will utilize it in creative ways.

Enemies with Bleed take fixed damage with every attack. Additional skills and artifacts related to Bleed are under development. [/list] [h2]🎯 Difficulty Adjustments 🎯[/h2] [list] [*] During early access, we received many feedback points regarding difficulty. We are adjusting difficulty to create an enjoyable experience. [*] Current focus points: [list=1] [*] To address the variance in experience due to component appearances (artifacts, allies, skills), we adjusted appearance rates based on stage progression. Additionally, we are considering adding more fun relics at the common and uncommon levels seen early in the game. [*] While making the curse lvl 0 more accessible to new players, we aim to keep high lvl curse challenging. Buffs for enemies in later stages will be strengthened. [/list] [*] Note that these difficulty changes are not final and will continue to improve during early access based on your feedback.
