Infinite Mode



Infinite Mode!

A neverending battle to see how far you can go.  This new mode starts the same as normal, except the Super Orb is available immediately.  After each boss fight you will gain a curse.  Curses can impose a variety of bad effects such as boosting enemies' stats, poisoning your monsters at the start of battle or even giving enemies equipment.  After completing all 3 zones, you loop back to the beginning, though you lose any items you do not have equipped, and all your aura.  You also get to select a powerful blessing as well.  After each loop enemies get significantly higher stats, more and stronger enemies appear, and curses get worse among other things. 

General

  • Mana Costs Cannot be reduced below 15 now (up from 10)
  • Changed shops item rarity to slightly increase frequency of uncommon, rare and legendary in zones 2 & 3
  • Changed the Commune options on events like Poison Grove. Now requires listed synergies, and you can only have 1.  All have been buffed to compensate

  • Krog’s Bellow changed to now cause damage equal to 20% current hp to the closest enemy

  • Changed Mudgill’s Feeding Frenzy. Increase from 5% enemy hp to 10%, but only heals itself.  Any excess healing is then divided among all other allies
