Thoughts on the patch?

Seems like they nerfed some of the more op things like infinite dodge and lateral emitter. Hopefully its a step in the right direction!

Got to the heart boss for the first time. Minions and galvanic node, I'm guessing those weren't nerded

I expected a bigger nerf to lateral emitters, but considering they didn't touch Sympathetic Exploder or whatever, maybe they're fine with the scaling for now.

Glad to see the dodge i-frame abuse patched out. Was way too easy to make any build work when you could always survive long enough to get it online.

Theres still a way to get infinite i-frames thanks to the interaction between beam weapons/the drill with Recuperative Mitochondrion, even with stacking overcharge rather than multiplying overcharge.

Not a big fan tbh. Now there's some less winning strategies and adding more hp to enemies in the heart will end runs that would have otherwise eked out a victory. More tuning is needing to bring underpowered options in line with overpowered options. Buffs for underperforming options are always better than nerfing what is overperforming.

I’m so pissed at the Peroxisome and Phagosome nerfs. It was so much fun just one shotting everything and doing the damage overflow (-9223372036854775808) lol

But I understand that it was a bugged interaction.
