    • There are always enough keys on the map for the number of locks available

    • Nightmare Tumors have been reduced to 1 per map
    • Tumors now reduce 30% of the Boss health (from 20%)
    • Waves have been updated to add any type of enemy into them
  • Heroes

    • It creates a truly random generation with activities that are not necessarily present at every new run
  • Leprechaun Coin: now reads ‘Gain X Dream Shards for each Star of Fate spent’
    Design Note: We’ve adjusted the Leprechaun Coin effect to balance the item without fundamentally changing it. Free rerolls gained from the collection effect no longer also provide a Dream Shard gain, as this is now only triggered when a reroll is actually spent.

  • Sandman:
    • ‘Sand of Oblivion’ has been removed from the Sandman’s shop as it is now part of the ‘Astral Shrine’ activity.
