4/16 Major Update

Hello, Joker here with an update to Ascent!

It's been almost a month since the original post, and the page has reached over 100 views! Thank you all for sharing around, I'm surprised this has even gone as far as it had.

Let's get to some updates.

A lot of balancing tweaks to make the experience more enjoyable, mostly nerfs to a lot of the normal encounters while boosting the Elites, as well as opening up with 3 Potions.

There's still a few fail-safes like the "Already In" you may have encountered, this game is still early so any kind of things that can help for playtest will stay for now.

Two major additions are in this update, a new character, and a new boss!

The Daredevil is a high-risk high-reward character, with a larger HP pool, but uses it for their skills to generate Blood Counters. These Blood Counters provide boosts to their stats, and it's up to you to see how far you want to push it before Blood Draining to recover at the cost of your counters. Slaying her will give her base ability, Blood Slash, so whoever you give it to will be able to generate their own Blood Counters.

There's also a new boss! The Brave, who may work similar to a recently released sequel to a very good JRPG...You'll have to find out yourself, though The Blight is still a potential encounter as well.

There will be an updated survey posted shortly after this is posted, but the new version is live! You'll need to redownload the file from the page. I hope you enjoy! Thank you for your support.
