Developer’s Note:

Because every project deserves a section dedicated to the kind of fixes that make you cringe, laugh, and cry—often all at once. Here’s to the duct tape heroes holding the game together!

• Added Game Icon

Temporary Solutions (That might be permanent)

• Enemies that fall below the ground are now repositioned to 5 meters above the surface

Bugs

• Resolved an issue where enmies affected by knockback from wave of flames where pushed beneath the ground if player was performing jump attack
• Resolved an issue where wave of flames was always spawning to the right of the player when no target was nearby

Balance Changes

Talents

• Call Lightning:
  • Description: Summon a powerful lightning strike at the targeted {Area}, dealing {Damage} {DamageType} to the enemy closest to the center. A shockwave radiates through the area, striking nearby enemies for {ShockwaveDamage} {DamageType}. When cast directly, the shockwave also knocks back nearby enemies, adding a disruptive force to the impact. Indirect triggers of this ability are less effective and do not cause knockback. Summon a powerful lightning strike at the targeted {Area}, dealing {Damage} {DamageType} to the enemy closest to the center. Nearby enemies within the spell’s area are struck by a shockwave, taking {ShockwaveDamage} {DamageType}
