Two heroes redrawn, and the demons hit back harder.
Fallen, redrawn
- His head: a sculpted profile with grave-cloth bound over his eyes. Light leaks out under the binding, and his glare burns through it.
- His arms: shaped around the bone (shoulder, biceps, triceps, a hard elbow, tapering forearms) and bound in grave-cloth from knuckle to elbow. The Sanctum hand is a bound, clenched fist with a tail of cloth off the wrist. The fire hand is open with fingers spread.
- His legs: shaped around the bone (thigh, kneecap, a high calf, bare feet with toes) and bound in fighter's wraps from the arch to under the knee.
- His wings: real layered feathers in lacquer black, with fingered primaries and scalloped coverts. Grave-cloth is bound around the wing joints, and the feathers reach further the wider the wings open.
Crone, redrawn
- A wolf-skull helm. Her long wolf's-head hood is gone. She now wears a wolf's skull lacquered black, with only its edges lit. It's short and round-crowned, with its jaw strapped under her chin, and her head sinks into a wide shag ruff over her shoulders. The helm hanging on the longhouse peg matches.
Harder fights
- Cuts only hit what's in front of you. A forward swing no longer catches demons behind you, for every hero. Moves built to hit both sides keep their reach: KAITEN, the plunges, the whirls, the backhands, BJORN and the end of ONI RUSH.
- Big demons are meatier. Grunts take nearly twice the hits (light cuts no longer stagger them) and their rake hits harder, but it now has a longer wind-up with two glints to warn you. Beasts are much tougher and hit harder too, with a longer coil and slam and a second glint.
- Bosses are tougher, with longer tells. Every boss except Satan has twice the health and hits 30% harder, but every attack winds up longer with earlier glints. The Hangman's floor grab and the Operator's free-fall claw now have wind-ups (they had none), the Operator's slam clunks twice before it lands, and the Ossuary rattles before it collapses.
Fixes
- The Marine's FRAG works again. For a few versions the grenade vanished the moment he threw it.
