Patch 0.7.0, also known as the Haunted Hallow’s Eve Update for Rogue Legacy 2, is now available. This patch celebrates Halloween as monsters are dressed appropriately for the annual Monster’s Ball, which will end on Thursday, November 4.
New Features
There are three new Fabled weapons that you can acquire in this update. These are the Charon’s Scythe, the Eclectic Lute, and the remade Spoon. Unlike the other weapons, these new ones will force you to play differently but in a fun way.
For those who have finished Rogue Legacy 2 but still want to continue, there are new Scar Challenges available in the New Game+. Take note that this is not a walk in the park, so you better make sure that you use everything in your arsenal to succeed.
Class Updates
The developers at Cellar Door Games understand that when the Ronin class was released, it was a bit more overpowered than expected since most people would just stack Strength and call it a day.
Well, they are going to change the class a bit by improving Intelligence or INT-based builds. For this reason, the Immortal Kotetsu’s INT damage scaling is increased to 225%, while the Katana’s damage is reduced to 200% STR from 225%.
Another class that got a noticeable improvement is the Valkyrie. The class’ mana regen from the Deflect Talent is raised to 15 mana per projectile destroyed. If you get the right passives and focus on countering projectiles, you will undoubtedly get insane levels of Spell DPS.
