  The Forge Reborn

  Gear that grows with you, affixes to shape your build, and the Echoes of Lys to push every boss as far as you dare. This update rebuilds the game's power progression. Instead of gear leveling up on its own, now you decide what to strengthen, personalize it with affixes, and choose how far to push each boss — fully cooperative from start to finish. ⚒️ Equipment Upgrades Gear no longer scales by itself with difficulty. Now you level up your weapon and gear by spending boss materials — a direct, monster-hunter-style upgrade system. Each upgrade level raises the item's stats (and your ability damage along with it). Progression under your control: prioritize the weapon, armor, or accessories that fit your playstyle. No more "treadmill" — power isn't reset every difficulty tier. What you build, you keep. ✨ Affix System Reforge your gear at the Forge to roll passive affixes — bonuses that shape your build. Each item gets 1 to 4 slots based on rarity (Uncommon → Legendary), you can lock the good affixes and reroll the rest, and every roll has a quality (%) that sets how strong the bonus is. Attributes Vitality — + Max HP Focus — + Max Mana Strength — + Attack Guard — + Physical defense Aegis — + Magical defense Resistance — + Elemental resistance Swiftness — + Movement speed Combat & Utility Precision — + Critical chance Arcane — + Ability damage Brutality — + Critical damage Vampirism — Lifesteal on hits Alacrity — Cooldown reduction Thrift — Chance to refund mana Momentum — + Damage at high HP (above 80%) Vigor — HP regeneration per second Pyre — Your melee hits apply burn (damage over time) Stronger affixes require higher-rarity gear to roll — they're build customization and identity, not power-creep: the game stays challenging. 🔥 Echoes of Lys — Mythic Difficulty (NG+) On each boss briefing you now pick the fight's Mythic LEVEL. Raising the Echo increases the boss's HP and damage — and improves the quality of the materials and items it drops. A true NG+ system: replay a...

  Smarter Bosses — The Era of Combos

  In this update, bosses now READ what you do and respond with real tactics. The Spider Queen got more lethal, and the Dark Knight was almost completely overhauled around a new AI pattern: dodgeable setup -> debuff -> devastating follow-up on the affected target. ⚔️ Dark Knight — Overhauled Dark Oath (NEW): a shadow beam cuts through the ENTIRE arena, from the boss to the opposite edge. TOTAL damage is DIVIDED among all players hit — in co-op, allies can stand between the boss and the target to mitigate (classic MMO raid "share damage" mechanic). In the FINAL PHASE, the strike becomes LETHAL: only dodging saves you. Shadow Seals (NEW): the Knight scatters purple seals on the ground — 1 on each player + perpendicular seals to cut strafe + 1 back seal in the final phase. Step on one? You take STUN. Execution Combo (NEW — Smart AI): the coolest part. The boss READS who got hit by Shadow Seals and prioritizes Dark Oath on that target, guaranteeing the execution. Dodged the seals? Boss looks for other tactics. Got caught? Brace yourself. Curse (NEW — Smart DoT): INSTANT cast. Marks 1 player with CURSE (purple DoT, 5s, ~5% HP/s = ~25% HP total without dispel). But the boss is clever: it only uses this skill if there's a Healer in the party — because it knows that without a dispeller the mechanic has no counter. No healer in the comp, no curse. Healer died? Tough luck: curse keeps firing till the end. Removed: "Soak Circle" mechanic (enter to absorb) — redundant with the rest of the kit. 🩺 Healer — New Counter Heal now CLEANSES Curse from any healed ally. Curse cooldown (~22s) matches Heal cooldown (26s), creating a tight window: heal off-timing = next curse arrives before heal returns, and the victim has to rely on potions until reset. Heal skill description updated to reflect the new cleanse role. 🕷️ Spider Queen — Adjustments Pulling Web: slow during escape increased from 30% to 55%. Getting out of the circle is real work now. Geysers: VFX now fits inside the damage area ...

  Combat & Balance Overhaul

  h2]💥 Damage & Combat All classes deal significantly more damage — basic attacks, skills, and ultimates were rebalanced upward. Skill damage increased across the board. Leveling up now increases your attack — your power genuinely grows each level, not only through gear. 🧙 Classes Mana regeneration increased for all classes. Healer: basic attack damage increased (more self-sufficiency). Healer — Divine Blessing (ultimate): now heals 60% of the team's max HP (was a full heal). Still a powerful team save, but no longer a full reset of the fight. Slight movement speed tuning to give combat more weight. 🐉 Bosses & Difficulty Boss health now scales far more steeply between phases. Each boss is a clearly bigger step than the last: early bosses are more approachable, while the late ones become true endurance fights. 🤝 Co-op Bosses are more aggressive in groups: the more players, the more often the boss acts — nobody stands idle. Co-op difficulty comes from MECHANICS and coordination, not from an inflated health bar. 📈 Progression & Gear Weapons, rings, and accessories rescaled with much higher attack to match the new boss curve — endgame gear is dramatically more powerful. Weapon progression fixed: each boss-tier weapon is now a clear upgrade over the previous one. Crafting the right tier of gear matters more than ever. 🐛 Bug Fixes Fixed: XP lost on death. The XP you earn is now saved — dying no longer wipes your recent progress. Fixed: the Forest Guardian granting far too little XP. Fixed: the Healer's heal-over-time heart effect getting stuck on screen after healing. Fixed: an inconsistency in skill damage calculation. As always, thanks for playing SoulBound! Let us know how the new balance feels.
