Patch V0.24

Change list

Reproduced from the developer's release notes.

• Bots have been redesigned so that their timing is more intuitive. They now work the same way as Ultimate Weapons, and they can be toggled on/off during a run. Additionally, new stats and labs have been added so that your bots can get even stronger! New Stats:
• For all 4 bots, the stat ‘Frequency’ has been changed to ‘Cooldown’. Medal purchases into frequency will be refunded. Lab levels that were researched will persist.
• Golden Bot - Duration
• Amplify Bot - Duration
• Thunder Bot - Linger%: A portion of the stun effect will remain for 3 seconds even after the thunder bot's duration
• Flame Bot - Damage Reduction%: Enemies burned by Flame Bot will have a portion of their damage reduced
• Golden Bot - Increase duration
• Amplify Bot - Increase duration
• Thunder Bot - Increase linger time
• Flame Bot - Burn Stack: Allow for successive hits to stack the burn effect
• Additionally the renamed Cooldown lab (was Frequency) for all 4 Bots has been given 5 additional levels
• Flame Bot now “burns” the enemy. Every second, a burned enemy takes damage equal to Flame Bot initial hit, burn stacks (allowed with the lab), makes the burn ticks faster per stack, for example a stack of 4 will make the enemy take a burn hit every 0.25s (1s/4)
• Thunder Bot is now 50% effective against Bosses and Elites. Linger % is also 50% effective against Bosses and Elites.
• We have adjusted every UW in some way. There are plenty of new upgrades to spend stones on, and several existing upgrades have been made stronger or changed to fit the game better.
• Chain Lightning - Damage Scaling Changed
• Chain Lightning - CL+ reworked (the new effect is capped after 100 hits on a given enemy)
• Chain Lightning - Damage module substats have had their scaling changed
• Smart Missiles - Damage Scaling Changed
• Smart Missiles - New levels added to Cooldown and Quantity
• Death Wave - Coin Bonus is applied to all enemies hit rather than only enemies killed
• Death Wave - Animation was reworked to be more performant
• Chrono Field - New levels added to Slow %
• Chrono Field - CF+ reworked
• Golden Tower - New levels added to Duration and Bonus
• Golden Tower - GT+ only counts enemies that spawned during the current activation
• Poison Swamp - New levels added to Duration
• Black Hole - New levels added to Duration
• Black Hole - BH+ reworked
• Spotlight - New levels added to Angle and Quantity
• Spotlight - SL+ reworked
• Chain Thunder: Every 1% of enemy health removed by chain lightning reduces enemy damage by 10% (max reduction: [lab level])
• Lightning Amplifier ~ Scatter: Each Chain Lightning hit on a Scatter will amplify the damage for the next Chain Lightning hit on the same target (Additive)
• Swamp Rend: When Basic Enemies are hurt by the Poison Swamp, that damage is boosted by a percent of the enemy’s current Rend Armor Mult
• Swamp Rend - Additional Enemies: Increase the type of enemies that are impacted by Swamp Rend
• Here's the big one! A large part of the game code has been rewritten to be lighter on compute. The main tangible effect is: when lag starts to happen, the game can now recover gracefully. Previously, this would just snowball and cause all new computation to lag. Spawn rate differences across game speeds have been resolved.
• Three new tiers with all new Battle Conditions have been added. Additionally, the scaling of Battle Condition levels from T14 and T15 has been lessened, so that they are more gradually increased to T18. The damage and health scaling of enemies T14+ has been decreased.

• Added a Claim All Milestones button

• Wave Skip now works on all waves (including xxx9)

• Hit Text now has a menu where you can toggle many different options to get a better understanding of your tower’s strengths

• The Multiverse Nexus module now rounds to the nearest whole second
• BH+ and CL+ use percentage values once again
• CL+ Tooltip has been updated

• Death Wave has been completely reworked. It should still provide many of the benefits of today while adding many more. It works on the same Cooldown as the old Death Wave. Now, however, there is only one damage dealing wave (called the Death Wave). The Death Wave has a "damage pool" and will persist at your tower range until it has dealt that amount of damage. New activations of DW will add to the damage pool (rather than replacing it). The "damage pool" will only be reduced by the amount of damage needed to destroy an enemy (factoring in any bonuses)
