BETA

= Arcane Update 5.0: BETA =

= Features = Electromancer: Added a new class! The Electromancer taps into the city's energy grid to power magical constructs.

= Tuning =

Anarchist

 * Arcane Shield: Increased the radius of the perfect reflect area. --This makes attacks that hit the edge of the center count as reflects instead of deflections.
 * Chaos Skull: Increased targeting effectiveness during the initial speed boost. --Fast skulls are more reliable for close range direct damage.
 * Chaos Skull: Added latency compensation to the Chaos Skull. --Chaos Skulls will now persist if an opponent teleports in the instant before a skull strikes.

Drifter

 * Shatter Mine: Moved the mine summon position to the front of the caster. --Choosing a new target pillar is more responsive and no longer resets mine summon time. Sending the mine to the target gives the opponent a window to escape.
 * Shatter Mine: Decreased the duration of the fuse. --Mines are less likely to be destroyed after the victim teleports to their position, and it’s more difficult to escape a detonating mine.
 * Slingshot: Added a charge tier; this increases projectile damage by 7.5 over an additional 2 seconds. --Heavy shots allow the Drifter to prepare a strong direct attack.
 * Evil Eye: Raised the position of the shield relative to casting hand and increased the radius of the perfect reflect area. --Foresight ability is easier to use, with no obstruction from the casting hand. The shield aligns with the primal attack center to make it easier to block while attacking.
 * Vermin: Decreased flight speed and increased dive speed. --It’s now more effective to counter Crows with an attack, less effective to counter with a teleport.

Kineticist
Midway Pier Arena Burnham Station Arena
 * Debris Scatter: Added a new aiming reticle. --This improves targeting clarity.
 * Midway Spider: Decreased the Spider’s damage per second and search speed. --It’s now possible to anticipate the Spider beam, and its damage is more in line with other Summons.
 * Station Beast: Increased attack damage from 10 to 15. --The Beast attack can now break hand shields.
 * Station Beast: Increased max health from 75 to 100. Decreased generator count, health, and Beast heal rate. --Increased health helps the summon persist long enough to be effective. Generators are easier to destroy, and provide only partial healing to the Beast.

Artifacts

 * Cthulhu's Grasp: Added alternate glyphs and increased depth tolerance. --Casting the spell requires more awareness, less rote movement.
 * Aerogramme: Removed primal shield deflect, reduced wandering distance. --This makes the Artifact a more effective choice for the loadout.
 * Aerogramme: Added latency compensation to the Aerogramme. --Aerogramme will now persist if an opponent teleports in the instant before an airplane strikes.

= Fixes =

General

 * Round start: Increased visibility of pre-match barrier and synchronized the pillars with the round start.
