This spooky season, we’re bringing you our first major content update since launch, Version 1.1.1! And of course, we’re introducing our first new Montabi: Liliac!
Liliac is a vampire born from ink who sacrifices her own health for power, then recovers by defeating enemies. Her playstyle revolves around risking her health to deal high damage, with the ability to heal herself and transform Bleed into healing. Alongside Liliac, Version 1.1 also brings a Blizblaze mini-rework, new features, balance changes, UX improvements, performance improvements, and bug fixes. We’re really excited to finally bring this update to everyone, and we hope you enjoy Version 1.1.1!
