Big Content Update: The Reaper of All That Is Purple


[Content Updates]

  • For those who don't know, Gretel's arsenals have been hugely expanded recently, and there are some significant content updates for this Act 1 build. 
  • A special aerial combo (jump XXXY) is added. It's heavily effective towards flying fodder demons. 
  • Heavy Charge attack is added. I mentioned this before, but I'm just mentioning this again for clarity. 
  • For the Reaper difficulty, all exploration-based stages and the three bosses were overhauled to be fitting challenges for players who mastered all the methods including the new ones.
  • To spice up the Reaper difficulty, I added three new enemy types from the Act 2 build that is currently in development.   Find them all!
  • On the player's side, a new necklace piece Descending Falcon can be purchased in 2-3(and onwards). It's a useful one, so get it if you can! 
  • Tutorials for Charge attack and Ranged attack combo are added. 


[Changes]

  • To lower the skill ceiling for Wraith(and below) difficulty, I added some additional checkpoints and healing snails to let players keep the flow while not wasting too much time by repeating the same arenas over and over.  But, these changes don't apply to Reaper difficulty.
  • Automatic Focus bar refill will be disabled on Wraith(and higher) difficulty. You can't just wait till the bar fills up.
  • If you hit the cyclone blade with melee, it will gain a lot of velocity and more numbers on the "endurance count". This means, that the more you hit, the faster it gets, and the more walls it can bounce off. But if you hit it more than 3 times, it will destroy itself.
  • The scoring thresholds for each stage are adjusted according to the new arena fights.
  • All neutral aerial combos will now connect to Flying-V and Uppercut more leniently.
  • Old Wraith's falling spikes will show clearer indicators when they fall.

[Bug fixes]

  • Fixed a bug where Old Wraith doesn't connect the attack patterns and stays idle.
