[/p][h3]NEW DIFFICULTIES: RELAXED ENDLESS MODE + NIGHTMARE MODE[/h3][p]One of the most common requests we’ve seen from the community is to make the endless mode more flexible - something that fits both laid-back adventurers and pure chaos-seekers.[/p][p][/p][p]So we’re introducing two new difficulty modes to suit both sides of the spectrum:[/p][p][/p][p]Relaxed endless mode[/p][p]A more chill and sandbox-style take on endless mode.
Enemies scale more slowly, torments and boss intervals are removed, and you can take your time experimenting with builds and strategies.[/p][p]Just note - you’ll earn fewer resources as a trade-off for the slower pace.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Nightmare mode[/p][p]Think you’ve mastered Insane? Think again.
Nightmare Mode lets you customize your own difficulty, pushing the limits of what’s possible. [/p][p]Crank it up as much as you dare - and see how long you can survive the madness.[/p][p][/p][p]

The hammer also boosts XP gain by 13%.[/p][p]
[/p][p]Kinslayer - Heroic halberd[/p][p]Unleashes a feral shout that boosts both offense and defense, while restoring +1.5 Health per second. Warcry. [/p][p]
[/p][h3]New visuals, new mechanics, new chaos.[/h3][p][/p][h3]AND AFTER THAT...[/h3][p]Once Update no. 1 land, we won’t be slowing down.
A major content update is already on the horizon - with a new map, new hero, new god, and new boss coming soon.[/p][p]Expect more info in the upcoming weeks of November.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]
