Champion Shift News

There was an issue with the sound FX for Ymir's Howl, where it did not turn off and kept constantly howling away throughout the run. We have temporarily disabled this SFX while we investigate and fix it.

Greetings Champions!

This update brings in a fix for a bug that was was blocking players from progressing the tutorial stage.
Thanks a ton to members of the community who brought forth this issue!

• Fixed an issue that was causing players to get stuck when loading the tutorial stage for the first time.
  
• Fixed the HP bar showing more current health than total health.
  
• Car energy now properly regenerated and shows correctly in the UI.
  
• Removed Marine (Machine Gunner) from Firestorm Fortress and added them to Shipping Docks, Temple Labs and Mountain Pass South.
  
• Fixed an issue where enemies weren't spawning during boss fights.
  

We continue to take a look at all reported bugs and working hard to get them fixed ASAP. That's it for now! Keep on driving, Champions!

Greetings Champions! Dropping a small update with some fixes and improvements. Here is a full rundown of the changes:

GENERAL

• Some abilities were not properly multi-casting, either with the Celestial Gifts within its tree or with the Multicast Stat Upgrade. It’s working now! (i.e. more firepower!)
  
• Reduced the amount of enemies spawning, especially in the late game and final boss encounters, where the amount of enemies were overwhelming. Should feel more controlled now.
  
• in an effort to improve situational awareness while playing, we increased the camera distance to the player, so more of the playing field is visible. Should improve overall clarity and visibility (still a work in progress).
  
• Added a gameplay setting to automatically open the gift selection window during gameplay. Note: This will automatically slow down the game in single player.
• The Communication Satellite defenses received an upgrade! It'll be more perilous now to get close.
  
• Continued fixes with colliders in some of the stages. These will be continually fixed as the issues are found.
  

That's it for now! Hope you are all enjoying the game, and let us know how you feel about these changes. Until next time, keep shifting, Champions!

Greetings Champions!
We are super excited to bring you the long awaited update to our in-game missions! Here is a detailed breakdown of everything going on in this patch, which features some content, lots of fixes, re-balancing and everything in between:

NEW MISSIONS
We added 4 new mission types, which will bring new mechanics and challenges to your runs.

Spy Drone - a Dominion drone has been spotted, he is pretty fast! Catch up to him and destroy it.
Demolition - the Dominion has constructed missile emplacements, which you need to destroy with bombs scattered across the map
Artifact Retrieval - retrieve the mysterious objects being held captive by Dominion forces, and deliver them to The Hand.
Control Points - hold off against waves of enemies as you fight to dominate control points scattered through the map


NEW BOSS FIGHT TR-3Y: Brace yourself for this deadly new Dominion creation, a formidable new adversary awaiting your arrival, armed to the teeth and ready to test your skills.


CHAMPIONS RE-BALANCE
After a month of having the Champions out in the wild and gathering valuable data and feedback, we're reworking their stats. A big thank you to all our players who have enjoyed Champion Shift so far; we've been listening, and more adjustments and features are on the way. For now, we'll be adjusting the Champions' stats to reduce the dramatic swings between their highs and lows. The floor for a champion's base initial stats will be set at 80%, and the ceiling at 120%. This change will allow us to implement things like curses to lower some stats, and also bring some buffs under control. We still want players to find ways to optimize their stats, but it will now require a bit more effort. This isn't the only modification to Champions; there's another change we'll be making in a future update. Apart from their weapons, stats are another way we differentiate between one champion and another. The goal is to cater to different playstyles, such as precision players and those who prefer a Area based approach.
