Version history

Version Changes
0.2.0
  • Many Skills have had their base damage and/or damage growth per level rebalanced. Most of these changes are not specifically mentioned below as the changes are too widespread.
  • Decompose, the Skill granted by the Corpsewade Unique Boots, now causes the Poison Cloud to poison enemies as though dealing Chaos damage equal up to 10% of Corpse's Maximum Life at Gem levels 1-20 (previously 30-39.5%).
  • Gas Arrow, Gas Grenades and Decompose now have a limit of 6 Poison Clouds.
  • Skills with Expanding ground effects were unintentionally scaling radius over time instead of area of effect. They still scale the radius, though we have updated the descriptions and lowered the values on many of the affected skills:
    • The Poison Cloud on Gas Arrow, Gas Grenade and Decompose now gain 20% more Radius per second, up to a maximum of 80% (all previously 50%, up to a maximum of 200%).
0.1.0
  • Introduced to the game.
