Hey everyone, today we have another quick update for you while we are finishing up work on the Boss Rush update (which includes some more surprises!).

We are also working on porting the game to consoles (no platforms confirmed as of yet), so things have been a bit slow on our end. We hope that you enjoy this smaller update in the meantime!

[h2]Gameplay Changes[/h2]
[h3]Wavedash + Mask of Yamphas rework[/h3]

• Wavelanding has been improved for better consistency (must approach from the side) and can trigger while Dash is on Cooldown as a Wavedash once the skill is unlocked.
  
• Mask of Yamphas new garment ability: When you Wavedash, gain +30% attack speed for 1 sec.
  

[h3]Blessing changes[/h3]

• Inner Focus: Bonus damage now also applies to any other Attack performed within 1 sec. of the Neutral Attack.
  
• Deep Rend: Can now trigger on bosses once with halved efficiency.
  
• Hypercritical: Can now trigger on bosses, but they resist the insta-kill and receive +25% damage from the Critical Hit instead.
  

[h3]Relic Changes[/h3]

• Ancient Feather: Damage reduced to 25/30/35/40/45% (was using wrong inflated values).
  
• Boombug Idol: Damage increased from 20/40/60/80/100% to 40/55/70/85/100%.
  
• Iron-Mesh Scarf: Damage reduction increased from 14/18/22/26/30% to 20/25/30/35/40%.

Astral Cord Bow

• Down Attack: increased hitbox size to cover slightly more space behind you.
  
• Up Attack: Added Sweet Spot.

• Miscellaneous / QOL changes
  
• You can now equip a Random Cosmetic in the Cosmetics Menu.
  
• The description of Minor Enchantment Tier upgrades was changed to better communicate how they work.
  

[h2]Bug Fixes[/h2]

• Fixed a bug that inflated the “seen count” of Spirit Blessings when Luminous Gems are applied on them.
  
• Equinox Alternate Form: Fixed a bug that caused the knockback of Spear Mode Down-Air Attack to send enemies upwards instead of down.
  
• Fixed: Enemy types can receive Frostbite damage when spawning after previously dying with Frost.
  
• Fixed an issue with the Reaction Time skill that caused the bonus to apply for 1 sec. instead of 1.5 sec.
  
• Target Practice dummies should not die from status effects (Solargenesis)
  
• Target Practice and Swift Smash dummies should not be affected by accessibility settings
  
• Fixed: Clicking the run navigation keys in the Journey view resets the menu to the latest run
  
• Fixed a bug that could cause the Pursuer Guardian's position in the map to change when loading into a save file.
  
• Localization: Non-English descriptions of the Hopelessly Devoted Achievement had the wrong number of blessings in-game.
  
• Various minor bug fixes and visual tweaks.
  

Hey everyone, a new update has arrived!
This update features the Daring Duo, who will challenge you with unique mini-game room types! There are also new skins, QOL improvements and balance changes, Please take a look at the patch notes for more information.

Spiritfall will be 25% off for the duration of the Steam Summer Sale, so now is a good time to recommend this game to someone who might like it.

Thank you all for the continued support, and see you all in the next update!


[h2]New Room Types: The Daring Duo[/h2]

• Introducing a new type of room containing the Daring Duo NPCs! They are exceptional warriors, but their powers are ineffective against the Blight. They get a lot of Dust from defeating Blight-infested monsters, but cannot harness their Essence like the Omenforged so the Blight eventually lingers and finds a new host. That’s why they’ll help you out with unique training feats, and give you some of their collected Dust based on how much you impress them.
  
• When entering a Daring Duo room, one of three mini-games will be initiated. Complete it to receive a lot of Dust if you do well. The possible mini-games include:
  
• Target Practice: Plan your route and destroy all targets as fast as possible! B-B-BREAK THE TARGETS!
  
• Damage Contest: Deal more relative damage to the training dummy than the duo within the time limit!
  
• Swift Smash: Targets will spawn and despawn constantly, break as many as possible within the time limit!
