Consumable Items

Consumable items are simple, in that they are smaller items that can typically only be used once. They have their own special slot, as only one can be held at a time.

As of writing this, there are 18 consumable items, with 2 of them being passive.

Cracked Spearhead

Tiny Star

Book of Blood

Corrupt Pearl

• When used it gives the player 2 items, and deals hard damage to the player. The higher the hard damage the higher the rarity of the items spawned.
• When picked up for the first time, the item gives the player 5% corruption chance, a mechanic exclusive to this item. Every use of the item after this point gives at least 2.5% corruption chance, with the amount going up with the hard damage the player has.
• Corruption Chance determines how likely any item is to be replaced with the Corrupt Pearl

Character Changes

13

• Not much has changed with 13 in the current patch.
• Primary skill %damage 2.5x -> 3.2x
• Special skill %damage 5.5x -> 6x

Shadow

• Shadow gained a passive that gives them the Void Stone consumable. This consumable comes back every stage.

The Pure

• The Pure got some massive changes this update
• The Secondary skill is now a beam that deals 3.5x damage 10 times a second The Special skill now consumes items, charging The Pure's Wisp Bar. Once the Wisp Bar is full, they will gain a wisp.

Ghost

• Ghosts also got some pretty massive changes
• Ghost now always deals a critical strike every 7 primary attacks.
  • This critical strike deals 3x more extra damage than a normal crit would.
• Ghost now longer gains attack speed normally, with her losing 75% of the attack speed she gains, but converts some of the lost speed into base damage.
• Ghost also gains a 5% crit damage multiplier every level, with no cap to this effect.
• Ghost also gains a 2.5% crit damage for every stack of Full Metal Jacket she holds.

Vexs

• Vexs primary now has a proc coeff of 1 from its previous 0.5

New Character

Nova

• Nova is a new character who's whole game plan revolves around their randomness.
• At the start of the run, Nova gains random stats. They are not completely random, as they *try* to come out somewhat balanced. For example, if you happen to roll low speed the game will try to compensate and give you health instead.
• This character also has 3 random primary attacks, and 3 random special attacks, with *hopefully* more to come in future updates.
• Nova's Special skill is a short range teleport
• Overall, Nova is pretty interesting, but needs some tweaks and polishing, as they are unfinished as of writing this.

Music!

The game now has a ( currently incomplete ) soundtrack!

• Since it isn't fully ready, it a few stages have tracks from other stages
• Also also, since all of the tracks aren't done, the music is off by default, but holding "`" and "m" will toggle the music
• I'd love to thank Wailmer for continuously working on the soundtrack of the game. Thank you very much
