General Changes

Wording Changes

• We are taking some steps to reduce the visual complexity of our items via wording changes

  • This is a work in progress

  • Specifically, we are doing the following:

    • Removing "for the fight" in favor of specifying permanent effects

    • Removing "Shield" from sentences like "Your Shield items gain +X Shield" which will now read "Your items gain [Shield Icon] X"

  • This is not a change in functionality, and is only a change for readability

Item Spawning

• Corrected an issue where sometimes Bronze items would spawn late in the run when they should not

Legendary Item Costs

• Reduced the sell value of Legendary Small and Medium items to be more in line with normal item value scaling

Flying

• Standardized the effect ordering of Flying effects on cooldown such that they fire before other types of outputs that are on also on cooldown

  • For example, Clockwork Disc will now make itself Fly or stop Flying before dealing damage

  • This only affects items that makes themselves Fly

• When an item is destroyed, it stops Flying

  • This previously did not trigger "stops Flying" effects and has been corrected to do so

Enchantments

• Continued to make consistency pass and improvements to Enchantments across the board

• Numerous enchantments have been adjusted and fixed as a result

• Many items with missing enchantments gained them

• Weights, Lifting Stones, and other similar "buff" items have had many of their enchants updated to also buff items

"is Slowed" effects

• Most effects of this class have been consolidated to "When you Slow this" for consistency and interoperability with Radiant and other Slow prevention effects

• Some items like Security Blanket and Moon Orb remain "is Slowed" as they are a different thematic concept

• We have also updated "is Hasted" similarly for wording consistency, but this should have minimal gameplay ramifications

Level Up Changes

• Made some changes to the gold-gain options

  • Added secondary tags to many options

  • Reduced the high end of the gold gain

  • This normalizes the values you tend to get from the options

• Added some additional options to several Heroes
