Greetings, Necromancers. The second beta-patch is here, and it brings several notable additions: Late-game system - Vow of Deicide, and most excitingly - much requested ability re-rolls and horde optimizations! Vow of Deicide Vow of Deicide is a system we've implemented that will allow you to raise the level of difficulty, after the Necromancer reaches end-game stages - and you can even get rewards for it! For now, it is the bare bones of a system, and will plainly increase enemy power-level. We are still going to work on updating this system, and include something more unique to difficult runs! With regard to rewards, there is a one-time recourse pack for first completion on every difficulty, and an ever-lasting multiplicator for all meta-currencies. Re-roll in Essences Now you will have access to a little more instruments, to form the exact spell you need. Essence result can now be re-rolled, spending one re-roll charge! Additional charges can be earned by unlocking more spells in Citadel, or inside the run - by discarding essences. Horde Optimizations We worked hard on different aspects of how the army of undead work, and have made quite a lot of technical progress in response to all issues you, the community, are reporting. And more noticeably - now every melee unit have some sort of dash or a jump. Of course regular skeletons will never be on par with mighty werewolves, but now they have a line rush move, to get them to the front line, rather than stuck behind archers! In this update there have been a lot of internal changes of how all things work as well as a lot of small QOL changes, and some explanation attached to things that were unclear before! We've added a tracker to display how close the Necromancer is to finding the next shard of his soul. So for now, we are releasing this patch in beta-branch.
