Hello everyone!
We thought we'd surprise you this month! Our Herald of Nightfall update is now live! And we have a 20% discount too, our biggest so far!
Zalvoon, the herald of the night, joins the pantheon of Divine Spirits in our latest update! Dodge deadly attacks, confuse your enemies, create a mirror image of yourself, and dominate the battlefield with the help of this shadowy ally. The "Herald of Nightfall" introduces an expansive list of new Skills, Blessings, Mask, Tribute Altar, and Synergies to compliment this Spirit's sneaky style. With Zalvoon's arrival, the possibilities in Spiritfall expand exponentially, offering players even more rich and diverse combat options to explore.

[h2]New Spiritforged Mask: Zalvoon[/h2]
- Garment Ability: While clinging to a wall, your Bolt’s Cooldown Speed is doubled and you remain fixed in place.
- Mask Ability: When you complete a combat room without getting hit, gain bonus damage. (This effect will stack for the rest of the run)
[h2]New Tribute Altar[/h2]
- Zalvoon’s altar increases the spawn rate of Elite enemies. This altar is useful if you are looking for a challenge, or want to increase the loot drop from enemies going forward (as Elites will drop double the regular variant’s Dust and also reward more Essence).
[h2]New Achievements[/h2]
[h2]Gameplay / QOL Changes:[/h2]
- You can now use your Bolt while clinging to a wall, which will aim it away from the wall automatically. This feature lacks some visual polish currently, but we want to start testing it out.
- You can now view your Spiritforged Mask abilities in the run stats menu. This will also display an additional value for certain masks that displays the total bonus you have from it (for example, the total damage bonus from Navolik’s mask based on your current speed bonuses).
- When taking Yara’s Mystery Mix, a prompt to open the Run Stats menu will appear. Opening the run stats during this prompt will highlight the mystery mix icon automatically.
[h2]Balance Changes[/h2]
[h3]Blessings Balance Changes:[/h3]
- Lightning Rod: Removed Shock Absorber as a requirement, damage increased from 10% to 15% per expiring Electrified stack.
- Lunar Tide: Critical Damage per spawned enemy wave increased from 30% to 35%.
- Skyborne Stability: Damage per Air Jump increased from 5% to 10%.
- Solar Eclipse: Burn stacks duration increased from 5 to 7.
- Voltaic Shards: Damage increased from 20 to 30.
- Waterspout: Drenched duration increased from 4 to 7 sec. per hit.
- Ice Shards: Damage increased from 8/12/16 to 10/14/18.
- Long Winter: Damage increased from 160/180/200% to 180/200/220%.
- Snow Surge: Damage increased from 25/35/45 to 30/45/60.
- Thunderclap: Damage per Electrified stack increased from 5/7/9 to 7/8/9.
- Time is of the Essence: Multiplier increased speed changed from 50/70/90% to 60/80/100%.
- Dousing Attack: Damage ramp through Rarities streamlined to match other spirits. (damage changed from 35/40/45% to 35/45/55%)
- Hydration: Health gain increased from 10/13/16 to 10/15/20.
- Ravaging Growth: Damage increased from 10/12/14 to 12/14/16%
[h3]Weapons Balance Changes:[/h3]
- Astral Cord Bow: Down-Air recovery duration slightly increased.
[h3]Enemy Balance Changes:[/h3]
- The Enduring Sentry now doesn’t have an innate Shield property to her overhead attack. This means that when her shield is broken, all of your attacks should stagger her. This boss was proving too difficult for most newcomers, and this change should make her more approachable.
[h3]Bug Fixes[/h3]
- Relic Tinkerer Room: Fixed a seeded calculation error that could prevent you from upgrading Relics if you already failed the upgrade once.
- Fixed an error that prevented you getting the Oops! Achievement unless the relic was destroyed (via the Cursed Relics challenge).
- Fixed an error that caused Boss Combat Rooms to remove 2 charges from duration based items instead of 1.
- Curses from the Cursed Relics challenge will not affect parameters that are being boosted by a different modifier (for example, bonus move speed and reduced move speed on a single relic).
- Fixed a bug that caused the damage from Treefall not to trigger properly.
- Fixed a bug that caused the exit to be generated on top of the Herbalist in certain room layouts, if you encounter any more please let us know.
- Fixed a bug that caused the ending sound effect for Hidden Rifts to play twice.
- Various minor bug fixes and visual tweaks.
- Fixed a bug that prevented some Blightborn enemy attacks from interrupting your actions when they hit you.
