Rune Knights News

New Spell - Venombolt: Cast a bolt of poison that deals 50% Spell Damage and inflicts 1 stack of poison on the target for 5 seconds. Inflicts 1 additional stack on Critical Strike, and 1 additional stack for each Supercrit. Poison deals 10% Spell Damage per second per stack. Max 20 stacks.

Icewastes trees, saplings, and large rocks are now destructible. (Some are only destructible by bosses.)

Firebolt

• Burn damage increased from 10% Spell Damage per second to 25% Spell Damage per second.
  
• Burn damage cap reduced from 150% Spell Damage per second to 75% Spell Damage per second.
  

Lightning Orb

• Damage per second increased from 65% to 100% Spell Damage.
  
• Mana cost increased from 125 to 200.
  
• Now ticks 2 times per second instead of 3. (Note: This change does not affect overall damage output, it just spreads the same damage per second out over 2 larger hits.)
  

• Fixed Fool's Gambles rolling lower mod levels than intended on some gear.
  
• Fixed Fireball incorrectly dealing 175% Spell Damage instead of 200% as stated in the description.
  
• Fixed Ground Smash not showing a Stamina Cost.
  
• Potential fix for Invasion level being reset.
  

Rune Knights Early Access will be extended until 2022. We will not be releasing in June 2021 as originally planned.

There are many improvements, fixes, and new content that I feel need to be added before Rune Knights can be considered a full release.

Apologies for the delay, here are pictures of my cat to help ease this blow.

• HUD Potion Indicator updated - now animated!
  
• Icewastes Visual Update: New ground snow FX, featuring footprints! (Enemy updates for this zone will be included in an upcoming patch.)
  
• Host Migration has been removed. This was causing some issues with normal multiplayer functionality.
  

• Thunderbolt - Each chain from this ability will now proc on-hit effects.
  
• Avatar of Lightning - Fixed these chains overwriting Thunderbolt chains.
  

• Savage Strike no longer incorrectly displays a 2H weapon requirement.
  
• Skill descriptions for Avatar of Fire, Avatar of Lightning, and Avatar of Ice have been updated to reflect that the effects are inflicted on-hit, and not on any damage.
  
• Divine Hammer - No longer incorrectly displays the Spell tag.
