  (6) 3 Guard, 6 damage per broken barrier + 8% Max health.

  New

  When one of your Barriers is broken, gain Thorns. If an enemy broke it, it receives damage based on its Max Health. Also, gain Guard per level.

  (2) 1 Guard, 2 Thorns and 3% Max Health damage.

  (4) 2 Guard, 3 Thorns and 6% Max Health damage.

  (6) 3 Guard, 4 Thorns and 10% Max Health damage.

• Nerfed the Critical Damage given by the Opal Necklace from 40% to 30% (it was never intended to give the previous value).

Bugfixes

• The Avatar of The Corruption boss had a lot of bugs related to its End of Round logic. To fix that, we reworked its first two abilities to activate on even and odds turns respectively. Old At the end of every 2nd round, summon a Corrupted Hero (if able). At the end of every 3rd round, devour all Corrupted Heroes and gain their damage. At the end of the 7th round, its damage doubles. New

  At the end of every even round, summon a Corrupted Hero (if able). At the end of every odd round other than the first, devour all Corrupted Heroes and gain their damage. At the end of every 10th round, its damage doubles.
