Wayward Souls

- Paladin's Shrine talent should now work properly
- Some various fixes and tweaks

Here's a new giant content update for Wayward Souls! We have added an all new playable character: Gallus, the Paladin. He is extremely powerful when he gets all his abilities, but also has to face an extra difficult dungeon designed specifically for him!

- Adds the Paladin, unlocked after completing the Shadow dungeon or dying in that dungeon 20 times
- The Paladin has his own long, extra difficult dungeon, a new storyline, and all new weapons, equipment, and abilities!
- New music tracks added!
- You can now unlock Cultist without beating Labyrinth, by dying in that dungeon 20 times, as a way to help people that are stuck
- New higher difficulty added to the monster generation, to support Paladin's story. This can also show up in the other hard dungeons during rare rooms!
- New special appearances for Gauntlet bosses
- Other tweaks and fixes

This is likely our last big content update for the iOS version, but we're also planning a small update in the future!

Paladin Update should be next! Likely in the first quarter of 2017, we have to wrap up the PC version first so we can port the PC content to the update.

It will be our last content update for Wayward Souls. New character class with new abilities, new special dungeon for that character, and his own story. Then other new features and content, such as rare minibosses, new songs, new animations for every character and monster, and more!

Here's another content update! This one adds something for both our most skilled players, and something to help people that have gotten stuck. Paladin Update with save sharing/backup support is going to be the next big update, and that should come out at around the same time as the PC version of the game.

- New mode! Gauntlet Mode is a 6 floor dungeon that's designed to be quick to play, but extremely difficult.
- You can now unlock classes by finding chests in Mines/Tower/Catacombs, instead of having to beat each area. This is to help people that get stuck. The amount of chests required are 30/50/70.
- Pet added: Cave Crab.
- Pets have a 20% chance per floor, up from 15%.
- Rare pets have a 4% chance to be found, up from 2%.
- Bugfix for Rocketcat not attacking.
- Fix for text after beating Labyrinth.
- Rat Buffs: %5/10 lootfind upped to 10% and 15%.
- Slug nerfs: 10/15 +maxhealth lowered to 5 and 10.
- Slimespawn reduced to 5 maxhealth, buff duration stays the same.
- Chatterpile to +10 health instaed of +15.
- Silken Spider up to 7% lootdrop, runspeed is the same.
- Gnomey to 20% lootdrop, coindrop still at 25%.
- Cave Newt and Mine Bat to 3 +healthrecovery instead of 5.
- Fire Salamander and Duck to 6 +healthrecovery instead of 10.
- Spellsword weapon upgrades now properly have their charge attack phase through spells.
- Skull's fireball AOE subtracts an attack charge for every shot rather than every hit. This applies to other attack pets too.

- Major new feature: Pet system! You now have a small chance of finding different pets in the dungeon. Some pets attack, some provide stat bonuses.
- New sprites and animations for the different pets.
- Testing a better animation system with more frames for walk animations. Using the pets to test them for now, let us know what you think!
