Guys, guys listen.. I have this idea.. listen guys.

Companions!

Yes, we’re trying out a concept where you bring a fictional friend to the arena. Tell us how you like it :)

Features

• Companions

  • Choose a companion at the start of the campaign

  • The companion fights with you through the arenas, resurrecting at the beginning of each one.

  • The companion grows in power as you progress in the campaign.

• Health globes now drop from enemies you kill. Random chance, heals you based on your max health.

• New Volco Cards included

  • The Rock (Upgrade)

  • Hammer time! (Basic attack Upgrade)

  • Do it now! (Volcanic Strike Upgrade)

  • Groundshatter (Volcanic Strike Upgrade)

  • Not a spindler (Flamenado Upgrade)

  • Thorn shield (Magma Shield Upgrade)

  • Magma Burst (Magma Shield Upgrade)

  • Out of my way! (Magma Shield Upgrade)

  • Lasting Shield (Magma Shield Upgrade)

  • Resistant Shield (Magma Shield Upgrade)

Minor Features

• Implemented sounds for all the new SoL cards.

Balance & Changes

• The Squire of Light now charges up his beam to a climax, whereupon he fires a heavy hit that knocks down enemies. The beam then resets.

• Grenadier Rat and Bazooka Rat now stumble when taking damage.

• Flamenado can no longer be interrupted by casting other abilities.

• Rebalanced a lot of enemy costs in Underworld Dungeon, making it easier

• Chasingghosts now move further back when stumbling, making them less likely to die in firetraps and the like.

• Updated Flamenado description

• Firetrail card mana cost up from 2 to 3

• Improved the way Mordar stalks the player

• All coins and health globes are now pulled to the player when the arena ends

Bug fixes

• Fixed a bug where the Taurus would always knock characters to the left of the direction he was charging.

• Fixed an issue with the map generation sometimes locking up on a certain difficulty

• Fixed an issue with some dialogue not being played

• Fixed an issue with Chasing Ghosts trying to attack the player when on his team

• Fixed a number of Sound FX bugs

Enjoy! -BetaDwarf
