QUALITY OF LIFE:
MERCY FRAMES
In 1.3.0. we fixed a bug that caused ‘mercy invulnerability’ (invulnerability after getting hit) to last way longer than intended. As part of the fix, we decided that it should end when you could cancel your stagger by walking out of it. Well, this turned out to feel pretty bad. So now, you only lose your invulnerability when you do cancel your stagger. But if you just take your hands off the controller, you remain invulnerable until your character fully finishes standing up.
ESCALATION
- New amps:
– Avatar of Corruption grants immunity to corruption. Stepping on a corruption pool absorbs it, granting +15% attack speed, damage, and movement speed for 10 seconds.
– Elemental Form: Radiant. On lantern tap, enter Radiant form, and heal nearby players for a percentage of your damage dealt. Cancelling Radiant with another form creates a healing explosion. Umbral form will now also explode for damage when cancelled by another form. - New mod: Planar Voyage opens a portal to the Umbral realm, where you can collect umbral motes which grant 10% bonus damage to your whole team for a short period for each mote collected.
- The Styxian mod has been re-added.
- Squad Goals and Mender’s Gift will no longer appear in amp selection when playing solo.
- Bonds of Corruption amp now provides 15% bonus damage per enraged Behemoth, and 5% bonus lifesteal per aether-charged Behemoth.
- Hellions can no longer spawn with the Danger Zone mod.
- Airstrike Beacon is now usable in Umbral Escalation.
- Improved collision, boundaries, and environmental effects in Umbral Escalation.
