Summary
Character Reworks & Reverts
This update focuses on restoring core identity to the Silent and Necrobinder by reverting experimental changes to key cards like Prepared, Borrowed Time, and Capture Spirit. The Regent also sees a significant rework to Arsenal, shifting its focus from Colorless cards to card creation synergies.
Gameplay & Map Adjustments
Early game difficulty has been tuned by preventing Elites from spawning on floor 6, aligning the pacing more closely with the original game. Map generation has been improved for consistency, specifically addressing shop frequency and monster room density. The Gloom modifier has also been adjusted to no longer affect unknown rooms.
Enemy & Relic Balance
The Doormaker boss has been reworked to be less random, with unique powers for each visual phase. Skulking Colony and Waterfall Giant received nerfs, while the Tiny Mailbox relic was buffed and moved to Uncommon rarity. Several relics had their rarities adjusted to better reflect their complexity and impact on drafting.
