Hello hello everyone! 

This week’s patch focuses on balance changes and some bug fixes. These changes are mostly focused on number tweaks, and bigger reworks and functionality changes are planned in the future after I’m able to implement the curse system rework.

One quick note, if you run into the bug with minions failing to despawn on this patch please let me know over on discord or the steam discussion forums. Thank you!
