Malice & Greed - Xendra

BUFF / DEBUFF CHANGES

Lust has been redesigned:
When you deal damage, give it Lifesteal and lose 1 Lust.
While fully Lusted, adjacent allies also gain HP equal to the stolen amount, and lust is fully progressed.

Lust skills have been rebalanced to compensate, but most of them will likely still need additional balance changes.

Burn's full stack effect is now:
While fully Burning, Damage taken from debuffs on you is increased by 1.

AWAKENING CHANGES

- The Awakening tree has been rearranged, and the edges of the tree are now connected by default instead of being locked behind a sidequest.

- Growing Threat has been replaced with Threatening Stance:
When a battle starts, all allies gain Threat.
When an ally kills an enemy, or casts a skill that costs 2 or more Crystals, they gain Threat.
Threat on the protagonist is permanent, and any further Threat they gain is given to a random ally without Threat.

- Threat:
When an ally with Threat casts a skill, if all allies have Threat, gain a Crystal.
When the enemy round starts, if all allies have Threat, destroy an enemy Crystal.
When either of these activate, all allies lose Threat, and can't gain more until their next round.

- Cutthroat activations above 1 Crystal now requires you to have double the amount of Dexterity as before.

- If the protagonist uses a skill to pass the turn to a unit while they have Surge, they now also transfer 1 Surge to the target.

NEW MIDBOSS ITEMS

- Damn Fine Coffee
Haste on allies reduces the stack of Debuffs on them by 1 at the start of the round, instead of progressing them.

- Bottled Lightning
When a Shocked ally deals Damage, transfer 1 of their Shock stacks to the target, and refresh it.

- Candelabra
When the enemy round starts, reduce the stack of all Buffs on fully Burning enemies by 1.

- Broken Bottle
When the enemy round starts, Enraged enemies deal 1 Physical Damage to themselves, and lose 1 Enrage.

- Grand Brew
Can traded for a Haven Influence passive.

NEW COMMON ITEMS

- Snowglobe
When the enemy round starts, if no enemy has been fully Frozen this battle, Freeze all enemies.

- Ouroboros
When you flee a battle, reroll its difficulty modifiers.

- Poison Arrow
The first time an ally will deal Damage that has Hunt, they fully Decay the target first.

- Knight Piece
Allows immediate travel to all Gravesites on the map.

- Lightbulb
Your chance to act first in battle is Lucky.
(Lucky values are rolled twice, keeping the better result).

Update for Default Branch 8/29/2021

HereSphere VR Video Player - HereSphere

Added a workaround to update the video frame when seeking while the video is paused. The video will now automatically play for a short period of time to force the video frame to update. This isn't ideal, but it seems to be the only workaround for Media Foundation's scrubbing bug.
Added key bindings called "Frame Step Forward" and "Frame Step Backward". These key bindings will attempt to advance or rewind the video by one frame (or as short of a duration as Media Foundation will allow with the current scrubbing bug).
When hovering above the seek bar, you can now hold the grip button and move the thumbstick right/left to frame step forward/backward.
Added an option called "Distance Imperial Units" (found in the user settings under the miscellaneous group). When enabled, distance readings generated by the autofocus algorithm will be shown in imperial units (ft + in). Otherwise, the distance readings will be shown in metric (cm).
When loading a DeoVR website or XBVR, videos that no longer exist will automatically be removed from the media library. If you're concerned about losing saved video settings, export HSP files for your videos (they will be exported to the HereSphere saved directory for streamed videos) or backup the "Library.hsl" in the HereSphere saved directory.
Fixed an issue with transition key frames not working when there are more than 2 key frames.
Fixed an issue with videos not looping properly once the end of the video has been reached.
Startup scan (which is used to scan a media source/folder to automatically update the media library) will first check for the existence of the folder before attempting to update its contents. This prevents a user from losing their saved video settings if the startup scan feature is enabled on a drive that isn't booted up.
