Combat Changes

• Larger Enemies like the Skeletal Golem are unaffected by the Density change and remain dense.

Infused Enemies

• Depending on Enemy Tier, non-boss enemies can now become either Magic, Rare, or Astral infused.

Atlas

The Eternal Battleground

• Now has more detailed information regarding difficulty scaling.
• Removed the infinitely increasing Atlas Tier system. Replaced with 16 Tiers each with their own set difficulty.
