Wow this is a big update, maybe the largest so far! [h2]New offensive/defensive equipment and on hit items.[/h2] The goal of this update was to add a ton of build variety. So each run will feel different and players can experiment with different combos. [h3]New on-hit and status affects.[/h3] These status affects can be activated by finding the right passive. The on-hit affects have also have the chance of being on powernotes. We think this will give a lot more build options. [u]Yellow[/u] notes can stun [u]Green[/u] notes can poison [u]Blue[/u] notes can crit [u]Purple[/u] notes can slow [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35582740/affb2af05f04972323d0c9b6bb998aca861261de.gif[/img] We have added [b]4 new offensive and 3 defensive equipment items.[/b] Blink and comet have also been reworked and buffed. These are all going to add a ton of variety. The drop chance in the first level has also been increased for equipment so you can get a build going earlier. A new legendary that lets you chain an extra dodge has also been added. So the player can chain together the new saw and mine dodge equipments.
