I am back guys! Sorry for my absence!


----- ITEMS -----


A new star aspect has appeared in the sky!

Third and final step of Biolo's rework is here!


Biolo:


Resurrect Homunculus: is now named Shape Life.

Levels 1 through 5 now change your homunculus' form to one of the Homunculus S.


Call Homunculus: is now named Rapid Evolution.

After a short delay, transforms your Homunculus into a powered-up version of itself. Lasts for 15 seconds.


All Homunculus and Homunculus skills have been buffed to deal from 150x to 250x damage.

Homunculus' skill availability has been changed to include skills from non-S Homunculus.


Upon using Shape Life, your Homunculus will take on a new form, keeping their level but adapting their attributes and abilities to take on the new form.


Amount of skill points acquired per Homunculus level have been increased greatly as now you have to level up all 5 Homunculus S abilities.


Homunculus cannot run away from lack of Intimacy anymore.


We will keep an eye on how Homunculus performs after this patch. I am confident we're still not there yet with it, but it will be adjusted as we see fit.
