Experimental Features

    • Wind Burst generates a burst of wind when successfully striking enemies, launching the wielder in the air!
    • Density makes the already heavy Mace EVEN HEAVIER, adding additional heft to its Smash Attack!
    • Breach allows the Mace to bypass a portion of an enemy's Armor, striking fear into the hearts of even the most protected enemies!
  • Added a new explosive particle effect when executing a smash attack with the Mace to really show the player's power when using it!
  • Known issues: Particles appear grey in water and on some leaves. Particles appear when target is hit in the air.

  • Instead of triggering a Raid directly, Bad Omen will transform into a Raid Omen variant with a duration of 30 seconds.
