Update 0.8.1 - New Tricks
Greetings, everyone!
Our previous update has brought along some major changes (some of which we also examined in greater detail in subsequent articles). And what does Deflector do in response to change? It adapts! So today we would like to announce our next update and the bag of new trick it comes with.
What’s more, the Winter Sale is on, so read until the end to find out about the bargain we have in store for you on the freshly updated Deflector!
Let’s kick off with changes to the Specimens. Some have more and some have fewer but they’ll all have an effect:
Slasher
Slasher’s attacks now have increased range;
Slasher now generates Rage when dealing damage to enemies with his basic attack;
When Rage is available, Slasher’s Deflect ability consumes it, becoming wider and dealing more damage based on the amount of Rage consumed;
Slasher throws a sword by holding down and releasing Deflect. This consumes Rage.
Gunslinger
Gunslinger no longer has infinite range and his shots gain some spread;
Gunslinger’s Deflect ability now creates a deflecting screen that you can hold, drastically lowering your movement speed while you defend yourself;
Gunslinger’s active ability can now spawn up to 3 turrets by pressing the active ability button again within the first 5 seconds.
Spark
Spark’s active ability now fires a beam of light that deals damage and pierces through enemies.
Lightfist
Lightfist now marks enemies by hitting them with deflected projectiles;
Hitting marked enemies with Lightfist’s punches breaks the marks and inflicts additional damage;
Lightfist’s Deflect now pushes enemies. If this causes the enemy to collide with an object, it takes significant damage.
Your foes aren’t without some changes either! The following Great and Apex Viruses have been updated:
Great Viruses
The Serpent’s wave attack has been reworked;
Obelisk’s attacks have been improved. The fight should be more dynamic now!
Apex Virus
Horned Giant has made some renovations to its arena, changing its shape;
Horned Giant had an overhaul to its attacks, with some being removed;
Horned Giant now summons two walls in the second phase of the fight. They will shoot lines of projectiles periodically
While those are some of the changes easy to put a Specimen or Virus’ nametag to, there’s also a slew of other improvements to the game! Here’s a list of more general changes you’ll find in the game following this update:
Some specimen evolutions have been updated to match the changes to the Specimens;
Great and Apex viruses can now be affected by Altered states;
Freeze now reduces the affected enemy’s movement speed and projectile velocity instead of stunning. Bonus effects have been upgraded accordingly;
4 new mutations added to the roster. They’ll be unlocked by default;
4 additional new mutations added to the roster. They’ll be unlocked by increasing your Research Level;
Inner Roots (Nucleolus) now roots the enemy and deals damage;
Little Crawler (Nucleolus) added. It summons spider minions to aid you in combat!
Bugs
Resolved issue that caused chasing laser anomaly to appear too close;
Resolved game occasionally softlocking when pausing just before Oogles picked you up at the end of the room;
Resolved anomalous Toxic Tentacle behavior causing them to sometimes not appear/reappear properly.
That’s it for the update!
What’s more, you can pick up Deflector with all its most up-to-date features at a 25% discount! Deflector is part of the Winter Sale and is available at this special festive price from Dec 22, 2022 - Jan 5, 2023 10am Pacific. Don’t miss it!
