Patch Notes v0.2 b3083

Hello Knights!

Our first scheduled update is here! With that, we have a ton of cool things we think you’ll love, now available in version 0.2!

• New weapon – the Nexal Staff
  
  • Overview:
    
  • Quick 1, 2, 3 chain attack that can hit multiple targets, refilling skill charges quickly
    
  • Charge attack deals steady damage to anything in its AoE that replenishes skill charges. After the charge is complete it will zap all enemies inside the range. It deals bonus damage based on how many skill refreshes you got, so the best strategy is to do this on multiple enemies right after you depleted your skills
    
  • Staff players get an additional choice at skill selectors and a 25% bonus to Skill damage as passive bonuses right out of the gate
