Update v1.1.3 - Resonance Update

 

Hey Shapers,

 

Here's a new update for you!

 

In this Resonance Update, we're introducing new features and balances for everything from Overlords, bosses, abilities, weapons, mods, and those pesky Curse debuffs. Our goal with this update is to improve the early game experience for new players, diversify player builds and weapon viability, and make adjustments benefiting the overall experience.

 

 

Much of this update stems from community feedback, so a huge thanks for everyone's thoughts and suggestions!

 

 

✨New Features:

 

 

 

Stacks of Player Curse can quickly become overwhelming, so here are a few ways to remove it, or use it to turn Ada into a glass cannon:

New override reward floor hack that gives you a Purge Kit
