Backpack Battles Patch 0.3.8

PatchAug 13, 2023

Time for the weekly patch! Last week we introduced Gemstones and we received a lot of very positive feedback! :) So we are adding two new types of Gemstones, the Topaz and the Amethyst. There are also some small reworks…

Official changelog (from the Steam announcement)
  • NEW ITEMS: Topaz and Amethyst (both accessible through the Box of Riches)

Balance

  • Adjusted Health scaling in late game (in round 18, HP is now 350, up from 300)
  • Sapphire (Weapon): Higher chances, Mana gain increased to 3, now also applies Cold
  • Sapphire (Other): Should now trigger much more often due to the bugfix
  • Sapphire (Backpack): Does not use Mana anymore, cooldown is increased to account for it (should be much stronger now).
  • Emerald (Backpack): Cooldown increased, now gives +2 Regeneration on all qualities
  • Leather Armor: Block 35 -> 40
  • Holy Armor: Block 40 -> 45, now cleanses 2 Poison every 3s (up from 1 every 2s)
  • Demonic Flask: Cost 7g -> 8g
  • Pestilence Flask: Now applies 3 to the enemy and 1 to self (down from 4 and 2)
  • Ruby Whelp: Attack cooldown 2s -> 2.2s, added socket
  • Ruby Chonk: Added a 2nd socket
  • Light Goobert: Duration 4s -> 3s (should still be at least as strong as before because of the bugfix, so we will see how this turns out)
  • Darksaber: Damage +1
  • Fancy Fencing Rapier: Cooldown 2.0s -> 1.9s
