ASCENSION
Ascension has always had a bit of a horrible feel to it, paying 5000 Star Shards to change the ascension to another co-pilot was just not worth it, Along with the Augments only being available for that specific Co-Pilot and only being able to equip 1 of the ascension augments. With this in mind, there has been some significant changes to the Ascension System;
You can Ascend with ANY and ALL Co-pilots at the same time, each time you do it adds a 2% chance per ascended co-pilot to find a Ascension Entity within a cosmic rift (up to a maximum of 18% as there are 9 Co-Piliots)
Ascension Entities are living gods transcended of their mortal bodies scouring the cosmos looking for life forms worthy of their gifts
Challenging an Ascension Entity starts a challenging boss fight in which you must complete to earn a reward of the new and improved Ascension Augment
If you already have all Ascension Augments, the Ascension Entity will grant you an Artifact
CO-PILOT DEAN AND ARTH-R DRONES
Dean and his Protector drone have been lacking power and its not been fun to have to always be near the drone to keep it active, forcing you to play around an AI that flys towards enemies. With this in mind Deans Augments and most important ARTH-R has undergone some exciting new upgrades!
ATHR-R now flys around the player, instead of towards enemies
ARTH-Rs attacks are constant when an enemy is in range and home onto said enemy
ARTH-R switches target to a new enemy overlaping their attack range if the previous enemy was killed
ARTH-R flys to where the player has been not where the player is, meaning you can lure ARTH-R drones into an area for a drive by attack!
ARTH-R is no longer alone! Each Dean specific augment equipped will spawn an additional ARTH-R drone (If your playing as co-pilot Dean, you gain an additional ARTH-R drone)
With all these changes the augments have been updated to relfect the new nature of the ATHR-R drone...
