• Update 1.0.7 - Gameplay Tweaks, Item Changes and Enhancer buffs - 14 October 2021

Enhancer changes: Hybrid now provides +5 luck when you have a set bonus. Blood magic now provides 0.02% more damage per health into energy, allowing it to scale better.

• Update 1.0.6 - Loot Changes, Balancing and Item Stats! - 28 April 2018

  This update features a nice overhaul to the way loot drops are received throughout an arena, in order to get items you're after more consistently, along with a nice addition to stats allowing you to view the stats every item you've found while not in an arena. There's also changes to how arena tiles work and a slight tweak to the champion league, along with other minor changes. Features - Hero setup and hero stats now gives much more detailed information on what items do, you can check out items in detail in your hero stats. - You can also see a large breakdown of your current stats in an arena by pausing and checking the stats page. Item Changes - Souls are now unlocked exclusively from chaos mode, as they're a bit different to standard items, being more of an exotic loot drop than an essential one. - All ability crystals are available to find in the Arena.

• Update 1.0.5 - Enhancers, XP Buffs and more! - 15 June 2017

  1.0.5 Adds some nice buffs to the more risk oriented enhancers, as too often the defensive options were too good to replace, these changes should make a few enhancers more appealing and more fun! Try them on a large arena in chaotic for some crazy xp and items! The ancient set had pretty useless set bonus which basically served as a protection against luck falling too far down, allowing you to combine the set with ancient weapons. However, it was just too weak leaving it at -5, generally using ancient weapons would mean you'd be better off commiting to a tier 1 loadout for the arena unless better things came along. Now, you have the ability to intentionally lower your luck in order to gain a huge luck bonus. This still leaves you with very low health due to the armor, but the bonus will allow you to see more desirable items early on. The interesting part comes in making the transition b…
