Added perks system!

Choose special perks after certain waves to alter your builds! Perks will boost Baba Yaga in a specific way, creating a plethora of possible ways to decimate those pesky loyalist forces! After certain waves (and at the beginning) you will be offered a 1 out 3 choice of perks. Remember! You will not be offered the same option again, so choose wisely! :) 

New perks:

• Cruelty: 30% more dmg to debuffed enemies
• Hunt Your Prey: Deal armor piercing damage to isolated enemies (not adjacent to others)
• Potent Toxins:  DOT increased by 50%
• A Dish Served Cold:  Debuffs last 1 turn longer
• Vengeful Mirror: Return 50% damage to attacking enemies
• Opportunist: You can store 1 unused mana point each turn
• Focused Emotions: Increase damage by 1 for each spell from the same domain cast this turn
• Embrace the Darkness: Increase damage by 25% if previously cast spell was from a different domain
• Shell: Get 30 points of armor
• Explosive Mania: AOE spells are 1 mana cheaper
• Chain of Thoughts: Adds additional target to AOE spells
• Knife through Butter: Frontmost-targeting spells may target any enemy now
• Swirling Temper: Hatred spells get 200% damage bonus. Reduce Hatred spells damage by half each time a spell is cast. Bonuses reset each turn.
• Masked Pain: Each sorrow spell cast gives you 5 points of temporary shield that last for 1 turn
• Gleeful Retribution: Spite spells restore 10 HP when dealing damage
• Spreading Corruption: When an enemy dies, they spread debuffs on adjacent enemies
• Flesh Wounds: Add 3 damage to all spells
• Aid from Hell: Increase damage by 25%

New enemy!

A new loyalist is after Baba Yaga’s hide! A newly added Priest is a support character that sticks to the back line and does not pose a threat by themselves… but has a powerful ability, ‘Hand of God’! Each turn, a Priest will cast a barrier on the frontmost enemy that’s not barrier-ed already. Barrier mitigates the first spell damage that an enemy would receive. Barrier lifts after the first damage absorption.

New enemies:

• Priest
  • HP/Armor/Block: 5 / 0 / 0
  • Damage/Range: 2/15
  • Movement points: 3
  • Special skill: Hand of God

Other changes:

Most notably, we increased cost of AOE spells, to keep them more balanced especially after adding certain perks like Chain of Thoughts or Explosive Mania.

• Added indicators for chosen perks
• Added popup info for chosen perks
• Baba Yaga’s armor is now indicated better (although it will still need some love)
• Added integer scaling in place of keep-aspect-scaling for proper representation of pixel-art in game
• Fixed inconsistent wording of HATE and HATRED
• Spell changes:
  • Fog of War
    • Cost 3 -> 4
  • Seething Fury:
    • Cost 2 -> 3
• Added some new bugs and glitches

Happy hunting, and stay tuned for further content updates!
