In the last 2 weeks we were mainly working on reworking meta progression related to elemental wizards. The list is very short, but the meta progression changes are taking a lot of time.

[h2]✅ Added:[/h2]

• [Meta Progression] Added 20 new meta progression upgrades to elemental trees.

[h2]🔄 Changed:[/h2]

• [Meta Progression] Changed 80+ upgrades which were only unlocking new Perks to also give small bonuses to the elemental wizards. Locations of the upgrades were also changed.
• [Player] Reduced player's max health (430 => 300).
  
• [Elemental Wizards] Slightly reduced base stats of all elemental wizards.
  

[h2]⚙️ Fixed:[/h2]

• [Enemies] Fixed a bug where the Hell boss could still fire Lava Machine Gun projectiles after being frozen.
  
• [Chests] Fixed a bug where Cursed Chests could sometimes not apply any curse if you had many curses applied at once. Now you will always get a new curse until you get all the possible curses. Only then you will be able to open the Cursed Chests for free.

[h2]Top Merge Combos[/h2]
While you’re free to experiment with Spell Merging, we’ve noticed some combinations can feel unintuitive. Here are a few ideas to help beginners get started:

Crowd Control:
Merge [Gravity Zone] into a projectile spell like [Fireball]. Then, combine this with an AoE or Wall-type spell to maximize damage.


Spell Rain:
Sacrifice AoE like [Fire Rain] into Projectile like [Cosmic Ice]. Sacrifice the combo into AoE like [Fire Rain] again. Sacrifice the combo into Projectile like [Cosmic Ice] again.


Empowered Summons:
Merge offensive spells like [Ice Wave] or [Electric Blade] into a summon, allowing the summon to cast them when it attacks.


[h2]Advanced Tips[/h2]

• You can summon the Spellweaver at any time by [right-clicking] the crystal he gave you from your inventory.
  
• Merging the same spell will strengthen it without taking up additional Merge Slots (dots).
  
• Enchantments will occupy your Merge Slots.
  
• More powerful spells (indicated by a grade of +/- number) consume more mana, meaning merged spells will also cost more. But no change in the cooldowns,
