v1.03 Patch Notes! Hall of Fame + Single Player AI
Major Features
- The Hall of Fame can be accessed via the main menu in-game! Each patch, players who score well in leaderboards will be mentioned there. We also have a youtube channel in which some of the playthroughs will be recorded and shown there.
- Single Player AI is available! For players who can't micro a party of heroes even with pausing, your ranged heroes will be able to automate the usage of some of their abilities. For example, the priestess will be able to automatically cast Hallowed Heal on injured allies close by. However, usage of the AI mode will add +5 pause points to your score when uploaded.

NEO Impossible Bosses v1.02 Patch Notes!
Fixed Desync issue with Fujin the Wind Demon
Fixed Desync issue with encounters that spawn units
Tweaks:
Arimas the One-Eyed Horror: Extinguish and Void tear abilities restore about 50% less health.
Ji'loch the Imprisoned: Meteoric Corruption now hits less for the initial meteors.
AutoAttack duration increased for bosses: Balazar the Necromancer, Jiloch the Imprisoned and Arimas the One-Eyed Horror. This should make it easier to find timings to attack them.
As usual, the leaderboards will be reset. If there are anymore desyncs do let me know in the forums!
NEO Impossible Bosses v1.01 Patch Notes!
Changes:
- Desync detection is now implemented. The game will be able to detect a desync across all players; and when it does so it will stop the game and let the host pick retry or return to hub. Desyncs are nasty bugs for me to fix, please try to make a post (with the replays attached) in the forums with information on what you were doing before the desync happened!
- The Auto-Attack frequency of boss encounters will now scale based on the number of players. ie. The boss will use abilities more frequently if there are more players in game.
Encounters tweaked:
: Deadly Boss Machine, Madrona The Dragon Matriarch, Ji'loch the Imprisoned, Arimas the One-Eyed Horror, The Twin Frost Elementals.
- Arimas the One-Eyed Horror: The Void Tear ability and Extinguish ability now restore health to the boss, giving it a fresh feel.
- Madrona The Dragon Matriarch: The boss's attacks now apply a debuff called 'Armor Break', which reduces the hit unit's Armor (stacks!). Some abilities have damage values tweaked.
- Ji'loch the Imprisoned: Binding duration changed to 8/5/3 seconds(based on difficulty) and Binding cooldown changed to 60 seconds. Some abilities have damage values tweaked.
- Some status effects that occur will no longer trigger when target is invulnerable.
- Maximum boss minion count reduced to 32.
- Priestess:
Hallowed Heal mana cost changed to 20 from 15.
Healing Spirit mana cost changed to 35 from 18.
Holy Nova mana cost changed to 30 from 20.
- Paladin:
Matyr mana cost changed to 90 from 70.
Fixes:
- Fixed Leaderboard display issue
- Fixed bug whereby non-host players could not choose a Flask while in multiplayer
- Fixed issue where a unit no longer receives commands when it gets incapacitated on finishing a channeled ability. (Involved encounters: Ji'loch the Imprisoned)
- Best-case fix for some desyncs.
As always, the leaderboards have been reset each time we move to a new patch. Healing/resurrecting felt a little too strong, hence the changes to the mana costs.
Have fun boss-slaying!
