Patch 2: The Slime Upgrade
[p]Patch Notes RW2 Patch 2:[/p][p]Rift Wizard 2 Patch 2[/p][p]This one is BIG — more is in the works, but we had to push this out to the main branch and into your hands![/p][p]Nearly every spell has been tweaked in some way, with Spell Upgrades being the main focus. Many have been redesigned to feel both engaging and unique.[/p][p]Spell Upgrades that introduce mechanics or flavor from other schools now also add the appropriate Tags, unlocking countless new synergies and emergent interactions.[/p][p]We’ve also added an entirely new school: Slime Magic. Filter for it in the spellbook with (Z), or scroll down to discover all the new slime spells, skills, and gear designed to let you be the Lord of Ooze![/p][p]Finally, Rift Wizard 2 now features a Custom Game Mode with a host of new mutators—build truly cursed runs or reward yourself with extra mega chests and SP on every level.[/p][p]SPELL AND SPELL UPGRADE CHANGES:[/p][p]Many spell upgrades now add tags to those spells on purchase. Many upgrades have had their costs increased or decreased to reflect these changes or for other balancing reasons.[/p][p]The general rule is that if it adds an effect or damage type from another spell school, it will also add the associated tag.[/p][p]The exception to this rule is Conjuration. If a spell transmutes existing matter into a creature, it probably doesn't get the conjuration tag. If it calls it from another plane, then it probably does.[/p][p]Spell Upgrades which only had their costs adjusted or now add tags aren't all included in these notes.[/p][p]Spell Upgrades which increased basic statistics and were removed aren't all included in these notes.[/p][p]What follows is the list of upgrades which have been either Reworked to have their behavior modified, Removed altogether, or are completely New.[/p][p]====LEVEL 1====[/p][p]Death Bolt:[/p][p]Soul Battery: (Reworked) : cost increase to 3, changed bonus to all Dark Spells and Skills but bonus is decreased from 3 to 1[/p][p]Fireball: [/p][p]Shaped Blast: (New) : cost 4 : Increase radius by 1 for every 4 tiles away that you cast it.

The slime gains 1 maximum and current health for each wall consumed this way.[/p][p]Slime Time:[/p][p]Level 5[/p][p]Arcane/Slime[/p][p]Whenever an allied slime is summoned, their chance to grow is set to 75% rather than the base 50%.[/p][p]Slimebirth Cantromancy (Skill)[/p][p]Level 5[/p][p]Arcane/Slime[/p][p]When an allied slime is spawned, it casts a random cantrip you know that shares a tag with it[/p][p]Slime Lord:[/p][p]Level 7[/p][p]Slime[/p][p]Slime spells get +3 max charges.[/p][p]Slime spells and skills gain +3 range.[/p][p]Slime spells and skills gain +10 minion health.[/p][p]Slime spells and skills gain +2 minion range.[/p][p]Chaos Lord[/p][p]Level 7[/p][p]Chaos[/p][p]Chaos spells and skills gain +33% to the following stats: max charges, damage, num_targets, num_summons, and minion_damage.[/p][p]Menacing Gaze[/p][p]Level 5[/p][p]Eye/Dark[/p][p]When one of your Eye spells damages an enemy, inflict 2 turns of fear on them.[/p][p]Hex Specialist:[/p][p]Level 5[/p][p]Enchantment[/p][p]Each turn, deal 1 arcane damage to enemy units for each debuff they have.[/p][p]NEW MONSTERS & ENEMY CHANGES:[/p][p]Added Electric & Blood Slimes[/p][p]Added Fortress units to the rare spawn pool. Fortresses are like 3x3 spawners, with some special effects.[/p][p]If enemies are in range, fortresses will fire from each of their tiles to any targets in range of that tile.[/p][p]Otherwise, they will build an ever expanding network of spawners, pumping out more and more units.[/p][p]On death, fortresses will spawn 9 of their inhabitants.[/p][p]Fortress Units:[/p][p]Duergar Fortress[/p][p]Gnome Castle[/p][p]Kobold Camp[/p][p]Crystal Golem now gains the tag of its current elemental type and no longer overrides other resistance effects.[/p][p]Aelf's will show up in earlier realms than previously.[/p][p]Several appropriate units now have the Blood tag.[/p][p]Previously for Slime and Slimy, max hp would only be gained if the unit was already at maximum. This has been changed to allow excess healing from the buff to increase max hp.[/p][p]Slimy no longer causes Slimes to be formed from excess max HP, and will instead grow its max HP indefinitely.[/p][p]This amounts to similar or slightly lower amounts of threat in most cases, but should hopefully prevent some slowdown and screen clutter since generally there will be less slimes on screen. [/p][p]Player pets with Slimy haven't felt any different, since they are usually getting hit anyway and not getting to that +10 over max hp.[/p][p]Enemies with Slimy are harder to take down on an individual basis, with varying degrees of impact on realm difficulty depending on the wizard's on-kill effects.[/p][p]Ghostly modifier now grants flying.[/p][p]Claytouched modifier now grants burrowing.[/p][p]FLESHBOUND CHANGES[/p][p]Fleshbound now redeals damage to all fleshbound allies rather than just those with a matching name, and healing per round is equal to the number of allied fleshbound units rather than being fixed to 1.[/p][p]Now only redistributes damage dealt by enemies.[/p][p]Distributed damage is calculated after the initial recipient’s resistances.[/p][p]Issues a faux damage event for all redistribution targets as though they took the redistributed damage from the enemy (triggers retaliation effects).[/p][p]Only redistributes as much damage as would have been taken, rather than sending the same damage to every Fleshbound ally (works similar to Blood Golem).[/p][p]Fleshbound now properly displays its description along with a running total of allied Fleshbound in the tooltip.[/p][p]Fixes an issue where save/load or corruption could make some Fleshbound units indestructible.[/p][p]NEW EQUIPMENT AND ITEM CHANGES:[/p][p]Macrophagic Mask: When a Living or Slime ally deals damage to an enemy, they gain 1 max HP.[/p][p]Oozing Scale Armor: When you take damage from an enemy, spawn a slime matching the damage type. If none match, spawn a random slime.[/p][p]Slimy Voodoo Mantle: If you would take damage, deal that damage to an adjacent slime ally instead.[/p][p]Neanderthal's Tooth: Metallic spells gain -1 requires LOS. Blood spells gain +1 radius. Slime spells gain quick cast.[/p][p]Wyrm Spirit Armor: When a Dragon ally dies, gain 10% resistance to damage types matching their tags until the end of the realm. Dragon spells gain +2 max charges.[/p][p]Balor's Eye Staff: When you deal damage with an Eye spell, deal that much damage again in a beam to the target, destroying walls and clouds in the way.[/p][p]Tundra Mantle: Each turn, soaked enemies in a 5-tile radius are frozen for 3 turns. +2 charges to Ice spells. 75% Ice resistance.[/p][p]Explosive Spore Manual: Cast your Combust Poison for free at the end of each turn.[/p][p]Veilpiercer's Monocle: Gain Clarity when you cast a Translocation spell. Buff duration equals the spell’s level.[/p][p]Wound Rot Amulet: Enemies receive 3 turns of Poison when they take physical damage.[/p][p]Mask of Woe: At the end of your turn, increase the duration of debuffs on enemies in a 3-tile radius by 1.[/p][p]Caustic Sprig: Poisoned enemies lose one temporary buff each turn.[/p][p]Fast Hand Gloves: Consumables are now quick cast.[/p][p]Helm of Hexes: When an enemy receives a debuff, there is a 50% chance they gain another random debuff for the same duration. Maximum of 10 turns. (Chosen from Blind, Poison, Frozen, Petrified, Feared, Silenced)[/p][p]Fanged Amulet now deals damage based on the number of SP you have spent on Blood Magic.[/p][p]All boots that summon per steps have had the number of required steps reduced by a quarter.[/p][p]Chalice items now refund all charges of appropriate spells, rather than just one charge.[/p][p]The Boiler now has its own asset and had its damage buffed to 25 per turn.[/p][p]Fixed a bug where Blood Shield gave shields for using the look and move spells for keyboard players.[/p][p]Boots of Imminent Doom: Now uses the spell's range rather than a fixed radius of 4.[/p][p]Sigils should spawn slightly stronger units compared to the level where they're picked up, can spawn in walls, have 80HP, and no longer try to spawn right next to the player. Sigils have been removed from Trinket chests, they're now their own thing, similar to Exotic Pets.[/p][p]NEW REALM REWARDS:[/p][p]Miniaturization Shrine: "Turns a piece of equipment into a miniature version of itself."[/p][p]Duplicator Shrine: "Obtain a duplicate of an existing trinket."[/p][p]Amnesia Shrine: "Forget a spell and its upgrade.

Each boon adds additional challenge modifiers.[/p][p]Weekly was incorrectly setting RespawnAs 100% of the time. Now set to 15%.[/p][p]Added 50% damage to all spells to the weekly modifier pool.[/p][p]Added 50% range to all spells to the weekly modifier pool.[/p][p]Added 50% max charges to all spells to the weekly modifier pool.[/p][p]Added 50% duration to all spells to the weekly modifier pool.[/p][p]Added +3 and +5 turn cooldown to all wizard spells to the weekly modifier pool.[/p][p]Added +2 and +3 HP cost to all spells to the weekly modifier pool.[/p][p]Added All Flying to the weekly modifier pool.[/p][p]Added All Burrowing to the weekly modifier pool.[/p][p]Added Super Spawners modifier to the weekly modifier pool.
