Are you feeling the summer heat already?
We certainly are as we're preparing for our vacations 🏖️
But not before giving you guys another update!

AND what better way to celebrate all the improvements to EndCycle VS since launch than with a grand tournament!

[h2]Let's get into it starting with the update![/h2]

[h3]EndCycle VS 1.4 is here![/h3]

We've listened to your feedback and spiced up Adventure Mode quite a bit with new events and better ways to improve your roguelike experience!

+ New Mini-boss event that allows you to fight noises and obtain powerful passive-skills as rewards!
+ Noise Leak events where Noises will ambush you in groups!



+ Mysterious tablets can be found all over Anikka now...
+ New dialogues when playing as Yven
+ Made it possible to rearrange VOCs!
+ Noise battles drop specific VOCs now that are indicated by their coloring on the map
+ Noise battles drop element VOCs dependent on their own element.
+ Punks / Agents will now randomly attack or befriend independents instead of being passive towards them

We still have quite a few ideas for Adventure Mode that you'll see soon but for now we hope you'll enjoy this much improved roguelike experience!

Now for some balancing changes:

* Balanced campaign star rating to be more forgiving
* Fixed requirements to obtain 5 stars on a lot of campaign missions
* Stacking Tempo/Impact style with pre-existing buffs now increases duration instead of intensity
* Berserk / Meek no longer affect crush power
* Characters:
* Tankitty: Fixed passive firing off shots when not getting damage and fixed them changing panels
* Farmadile: Fixed Ultra not hitting correct amount of times
* Yven: Fixed invulnerability exploit when misplacing Crystal

VOCs:
* Lv1 IceCrawl: Increased speed debuff duration to default, Power 110 -> 130, Crush 10% -> 13%
* Lv2 Swap: Extended invinicibility period
* Lv2 FrostBack: Spawned IceCube is now treated as full-fledged IceCube and is not broken on fall
* Lv2 Caffeine: Increased speed buff duration to default
* Lv4 Generator: Made HP visible, Power 120 -> 110, Crush 16% -> 14%, Max hits 6 -> 4
* Lv4 Gigantree: Shows remaining health

Styles:
* Lv0 Infuse: Reworked to now grant Berserk to user in exchange for health
* Lv0 Mindgame: Fixed panels getting changed through cursor with certain attacks
