Hello, puny humans!

• UPDATE 1.4 •

• Unique Tier 4 Weapon Abilities •

1. Tank: “Demoralizing Blow”. During an attack, gives a Tank chance to deal damage to a specific area and reduce an enemy's attack;

3. Trickster: “Pain Lover”. A Trickster receives a damage bonus each time they take damage (Max.: 100%);
   
4. Fighter: “Black Swan”. If a Fighter's health is at 50% or lower when they receive damage, they summon a Black Swan: a decoy clone of themselves with lesser attack and weaker damage resistance. A maximum of one Black Swan can be summoned during a battle;
   
5. Healer: “Shock Therapy”. When healing teammates, a Healer receives a 20% chance to deal damage equal to the healing value to enemies within the range of the healing target;

7. Shooter: “Railgun”. Each fifth attack deals additional magical damage;
   
8. Cultists: “Tiny Tentacle”. When a tentacle is summoned, spawns an additional tiny tentacle;

10. Egghead: “Build A Turret”. Places a sentry turret.
    

• 'Brawl' Mode Leaderboard •

• Your rating determines the league you are sent to. The league, in turn, determines how many points you gain or lose depending on the number of wins in your run.
  
• The higher the league, the more PvP wins you need to go up and not down in the rankings.
  
• If you hadn't finished your run (hadn't spent all three lives) and then started a new game, overwriting your older save, your rating will change: the number of wins from your previous run will be counted. For example, if you had started a 'Brawl' run and then decided to start anew without ever finishing it, you risk losing your rating since a start with zero wins is what's going to be counted.
  
• Unlike 'King of the Hill', there is no regular change of seasons on the 'Brawl' leaderboard. Perhaps the day will come when we decide to reset the leaderboard and start rewarding leaders. However, there are no plans to do that so far.
  

• Other changes •

• Mutation altars now show what mutations are available at the current level;
  
• Random mutations now can be unlocked by defeating other players' armies in the 'Brawl' mode;
  
• Items found using the "Newbie's Luck" mutation can now be sold in the store for 12.5% of their cost;
  
• The "Hypochondria" mutation now gives puny humans a universal dodge ability (a chance to avoid taking damage from enemy attacks/abilities) for the duration of the mutation;
  
• Changed icons for some statuses that had previously had a generic icon.
  

• Balance changes •

• “Newbie's Luck”: the chance to find an item: 1 -> 3%. Both Tier 1 and Tier 2 items can be found repeatedly;
  
• “Topochlorians”: damage bonus at latter levels: 570; 700% -> 550; 650%.

KONFA GAMES'S FUTURE PLANS

• Run stats and specific battle stats. These are two significant and interrelated UX tasks. They should make it easier to understand the efficiency of different classes and different mutations and make it easier to identify strategic mistakes.
  
• Abilities for tier 4 items. We’re unlikely to bestow unique abilities on all items, but we’ll certainly do it for tier 4 items, similar to the tier 5 ones.
  
• Fine-tuning the UX of the Challenges DLC. Some features, like searching for the required mutation in the store with infinite reroll, need more work. This fine tuning really needs to be done ASAP.
  
• New text events. Cause, you know... Why the hell are we not doing more of them?
  
• New mutations, of course! Yes, we still don’t think there are enough mutations, so there will be more.
  

Despot's Game is 20% off... again!
