Christmas Decor, Community Mutations | King of the Hill Season 5

UPDATE 1.3

Tremble before me, humans! I bring you monstrous new mutations. And a Christmas tree.

• New Mutations—Including Community Ones! •

In this update, we added the player-created mutations that won the ** Community Mutation Contest **:

Impostor by (https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198044250449) - The Trickster who currently has the most health teleports behind the farthest enemy and disguises themself as an enemy unit. Their first attack deals 100% increased damage.

Newbie's Luck by Knifehunter - When you enter a new room, Newbies have a 20% chance to find 5 food or a 5% chance per Newbie to find a common item.

Faster Than Bullets by spudiiman - Get 15 or 5 tokens at the end of a level if you manage to win all the fights in 40 sec. or 100 sec. accordingly. Mutations will take effect on the next level after you get them. (❗The name of this mutation was changed; the description was adapted to the game during the implementation process.❗)

We also added 8 other mutations! We hope they'll be jumping off points for your new strategies:

• Tentaclephobia - Summoning tentacles inflicts Fear on a random enemy for 2s;

• Guard - A random Fencer gets +40 damage for each Newbie on your team at the start of a fight;

• Cult Leader - A random Cultist gets +30 armor for each Fighter on your team at the start of a fight;

• Guardian of the Order - A random Mage gets +10% armor for each Tank on your team at the start of a fight;

• Serum of Strength - A random Tank gets +5% attack speed for each Egghead on your team at the start of a fight;

• Thrower Talisman - A random Healer gets +10% magic damage for each Thrower on your team at the start of a fight;

• Healer Talisman - A random Thrower gets +5% magic damage for each Healer on your team at the start of a fight;

• Retaliation - Fighters get +5% attack for each ally with less than 50% health;

• Compensation - units of a random class get +50 armor for each ally with less than 20% health.

• Other Changes •

• Added a new button that lets you reroll the stock in any "shop";

• Changed some values in the "secret mechanic". No details here, since it's secret! But these changes will definitely be felt by those competing to be King of the Hill;

• Updated the in-game wiki - you'll now find information on "buttons" in there... and a little about the dev team too ;)

• Starting next season, players who place first in their group in King of the Hill will skip a league as they move up (if possible);

• We re-reworked the top-tier Shooter item. Its ability has 8 shots again, but now they only deal 50% damage;

• And finally, we put up holiday decorations! Bye 2022. Be nice to us, 2023!

• Balance Changes (Random Mutations) •
