Stat Squish
We have decreased all damage and health values of players and enemies by 10x. You should not notice any in-game difference of difficulty except in Onslaught floor 946 and above and high survival waves. This was done to help avoid damage numbers above the 32-bit integer limit.
Balance

Increased the Sand Viper damage scalar by 15%.

Then this is used as a multiplier for incoming damage. For example, if you get capped damage resist from armor, 70%, and you have a total of 95% resist from equipment and talents the damage calculation would be:
FinalDamage = Damage * Min(0.3 * 0.1), 0.05)
This is an overall net buff across all chaos levels.
Changed petrify to not accumulate damage and removed damage increase while petrified.
Moved survival buffs to start at waves 276 - 466 ( Adjusted for stat Squish ).

The Endless Survival Update
Endless Survival
New Gamemode - Survival
A new gamemode has been added to Dungeon Defenders 2 - Endless Survival! In this exciting new gamemode, players will choose a map and attempt to get as far as they can before being defeated. The enemies will start at a strength level similar to Chaos I, but will quickly get stronger every wave, eventually surpassing even the highest floors of Onslaught! Every five waves completed will reward the player with items, potentially including Survival-exclusive items and new Godly equipment. There will also be per-map checkpoints every fifth wave, so players don’t have to start from scratch every time they wish to play. The checkpoints are obtained relatively, so if your highest checkpoint on a map is 10, you join someone on checkpoint 15 on the same map and you complete 5 waves with them, your checkpoint goes up to 11 instead of 16. The checkpoint also only goes up if the waves you are completing are higher than your checkpoint’s value.
New Quality - Godly: The new highest quality in Dungeon Defenders 2 is Godly. Similar to Legendary, Godly will have 3 Mod and 3 Shard slots. However, Godly will have an all new tertiary stat and can roll with 3Mods upon acquisition. Godly Gear can only be obtained by playing Survival.
New Material - Godly Orb: Godly Orbs are a new material used to Advance Legendary gear into Godly, and can also reroll the tertiary stat on Godly equipment at the Blacksmith NPC. Godly Orbs can only be obtained by selling Godly Gear.
New Item - Survival Bag: Survival Bags are the primary reward for survival awarded after every 5th wave is completed. Survival bags can contain Legendary Weapons, Armor, and Relics. They additionally give Gold, Motes, Hammers, and Chaos 1 - 10 Shards depending on the type of bag. Bags come in 4 tiers depending on the equivalent Chaos level completed - Plain, Shiny, Pristine, and Exquisite.
New Item - Survival Chest: Survival Chests are obtained similarly to Bags, but they only have a 20% chance of dropping every five waves. Survival chests contain Legendary Weapons, Armor, and Relics, but Pristine chests have a chance to drop Godly equipment instead. Exquisite Chests are guaranteed to drop at least one Godly item! Survival Chests also contain Survival Shards, Gold, and Materials with a chance to drop Defender Packs and one of two new Rings - Ice, and Life. Survival Challenges Every Survival map has its own challenge to complete wave 100, awarding 1,000,000 gold and a common defender pack. Additionally, there are five new flairs for survival obtained from completing the new challenges for getting survival checkpoints on any one map. The challenges for the survival checkpoints are Survivalist (Wave 75), Wave Conqueror (Wave 100), Endurance Champion (Wave 125), Wave Master (Wave 150), Eternal Survivor (Wave 175), and Endless Master (Wave 200).
Survival Shards

Double Time - Reduces build time for Defenses during Combat Phase by x%. Struck by Inspiration - Hero attacks have x% chance to reset all ability cooldowns.

Marks for Life - Abilities that consume Mark have a x% chance on hit to apply a new Mark. Thick Vines - World Tree damages enemies for an extra x% of your Defense Health.
Blacksmith: The Blacksmith no longer sells items, instead he has brand new Reforge and Devolve services. With the Reforge feature, you can reroll the tertiary stat on the godly gear in exchange for Godly Orbs and hammers. The Devolve feature allows you to devolve your gear from one chaos tier to the one below it, for example devolving a Relic item from Chaos IX -> Chaos VIII.
Explorer: The Relic Hunter’s name has been changed to Explorer as he no longer sells relics. Now he sells Survival Chests and Survival Shard packs in exchange for Godly Orbs.

New Region - Hidden Caverns
Only recently uncovered, the Hidden Caverns is a new region in Dragonfall that has become a point of interest for the heroes and the Old One’s army alike! This region consists of two new maps - Lava Caverns, and Crystal Mine. Though some parts of these maps may be familiar, others have never before been seen! Fitting for mines, players will receive Ingots for completing these maps.
New Enemy - Lava Bug - A variant of the Lightning Bug native to the Hidden Caverns.
New Boss - Lava Beast - A giant, mutated Witherbeast found only in the Crystal Mine, this enemy has a wide variety of fiery attacks. Its hide is extremely durable, but there may be a way to deal increased damage…
