The guardians have been busy. Build 285 gives Thalok, Enxio and Veyrath scary new tricks, rebuilds the Abyss fleet and makes your Tazer a lot more fun to fire.
What's new
- A rebuilt Abyss fleet. Chapter Two's enemies are now menacing drones shaped as spheres, triangles, stars and cubes. They light up before they fire their own shapes at you.
- A better Tazer. It fires from the nose of your ship and arcs from target to target across the screen, faster with every jump.
- Every fight feels different. Each chapter now has its own lineup of guardians, and Skarn turns up in every run.
- Music that builds. The soundtrack swells when a guardian arrives and settles once it falls.
- Clearer boss status. Buffs and debuffs on a guardian now show as icons beside its health bar.
- Steadier online play. Brief server hiccups no longer drop you from your run.
Boss adjustments
- Thalok opens the Devil's Eye. He darkens the sea, traps pilots in cages of tentacles and, once badly hurt, merges his eyes into one enormous red eye that unleashes everything at once.
- Enxio rolls the dice. He tumbles across the field blazing light, and the number he lands on decides how hard the sky falls. His legion now falls with him, and his health bar is back.
- Veyrath burns brighter. He fights beneath a dying star that slips into eclipse as he weakens, and his swoop leaves fire erupting behind him.
- Tougher drones. The Abyss fleet takes more than one shot to bring down.
- Cover where it counts. Only Noctaris and Veyrath now raise cover for their screen-filling attacks, and Enxio's mini-boss form is now called Enxio Shard.
Update to build 285 and stare down the Devil's Eye. Good hunting, pilots!
