Your attacks have a 50% chance to trigger a light ray on enemy hit. This light ray scales with your melee damage and size scales with your AoE size. This can appear as a legendary skill on melee and range weapons.
New item pickup sound effect

Improvements:

Performance improvements for all projectiles, this should help improve stuttering issues on mass projectile builds (v.0.8.2.1a)
Darokin is now more intelligent and stays in town so that you only have to rescue him once per run
Added unlock description to game difficulty tiers
Added unlock description to characters in character selection
Added new images to toggle skill tutorial
Enemy projectiles are now always layered above enemies to make them better visible
Ice crystal projectiles have more intense glow
Performance improvements for range constructs

Balancing:

Slightly reduced enemy & boss hp scaling for easier progress in mid game and to make transition into endgame more fluid
Shadow Farmer Chickens have less hp scaling in endgame

Bugfixes:

Fixed a bug that could prevent you from entering the gatekeeper arena after reloading your run
Fixed dropped legendary weapons converting to non legendary weapons when switching maps
Fixed text overflow in weapon stats UI
Fixed map swap when leaving aeodra arena, secret basement bosses and the hideout bosses
Fixed melee weapon in crafting weapon not being able to be selected on first clicks (v.0.8.2.1a)
Fixed removed light fragments when a second "unlock character" dialog is chosen at an NPC (v.0.8.2.1a)
