JULY 31, 2023

Events

• Time Rifts
  • The Ragged Mantid Sword now has a chance to drop from any Klaxxi during a Time Rift event, rather than specifically blade wielding Klaxxi.

  • Fixed an issue that could cause some enemies’ damage and heal absorb effects to be much weaker than intended.
    • Developers’ note: An issue was recently introduced that caused certain absorb effects in Dawn of the Infinite to be weaker than expected. This change restores these values to roughly what they were just before the patch. We don’t anticipate any significant issues with dungeon difficulty as a result, but we’ll keep a close eye on it.
