Version history

Version Changes
0.3.0
  • Added a new mechanic called Elemental Infusion that many Elemental Spells interact with. Some skills create Infusions of a specific element as Remnants on the ground, which can be picked up to grant you the Infusion. Other skills can consume Infusions of a specific type to grant additional bonuses depending on the skill. Some skills consume infusions that match the skill's elemental type, while others have cross-elemental infusions.
  • The Lightning/Cold/Fire/Chaos Infusion Support Gems have been renamed to Lightning/Cold/Fire/Chaos Attunement.
  • The following have been renamed to avoid confusion with the new Elemental Infusion mechanic:
    • Amazon's Infuse Weapon Skill has been renamed to Elemental Surge.
    • Spire of Ire's Chaotic Infusion Unique Skill has been renamed to Chaotic Surge.
    • The Charge Infusion Skill has been renamed to Charge Regulation.
0.2.0
  • Introduced to the game.
