  • Keys are now a shared resource between players (similar to feathers)
  • There are always enough keys on the map for the number of locks available

• 🐦 Nightmare Tumors
  
  • Nightmare Tumors have been reduced to 1 per map
  • Tumors now reduce 30% of the Boss health (from 20%)
  • Waves have been updated to add any type of enemy into them

• Heroes
  
  • Beowulf:
    
    • Ultimate 2 now grants INTANGIBLE for the whole duration
    • Ultimate 2 base damage increased by 60%
    • Ultimate 2 now displays damage in description
    • Fixed ‘Volcanic Rage’, now properly using Ultimate damage scaling
  • Carmilla:
    
    • 🐦 Increased blood generated from a full ATTACK combo to 12 (from 8)
    • 🐦 Power cooldown set to 8 second (from 10)
    • 🐦 Set Health draining when consuming blood without actual blood in store to 15% per second (from 20%)

• Map generation
  
  • The map generation has been updated to welcome the new content of the update
  • It creates a truly random generation with activities that are not necessarily present at every new run

• Leprechaun Coin: now reads ‘Gain X Dream Shards for each Star of Fate spent’
  Design Note: We’ve adjusted the Leprechaun Coin effect to balance the item without fundamentally changing it. Free rerolls gained from the collection effect no longer also provide a Dream Shard gain, as this is now only triggered when a reroll is actually spent.

• Sandman:
  
  • ‘Sand of Oblivion’ has been removed from the Sandman’s shop as it is now part of the ‘Astral Shrine’ activity.
