[h2]Pumpkin Smash[/h2]
Gather your gear and face off against the Pumpkin Creatures within the Eternal Battleground! Collect Candy and combine it with the Pumpkin Heart to create exciting new equipment. Pumpkin Smash is an event for October 2024 for Ghoul Smash.

While it is an event, it is NOT time-limited, meaning it will always be available.

Features:

• 1x Armor Set (Helmet, Armor, Gloves, and Boots)
  
• 1x Weapon
  
• 1x Trinket
  
• A new way to modify encounters in the Eternal Battleground
  
• A new Atlas Core Encounter
  
• 3x New Enemies
  
• 1x New Boss
  

[h2]Items & Equipment[/h2]
Added a new weapon type: Punchers
Punchers specialize in increasing the damage of your default collisions with no additional spirit cost. They are versatile, like wands, meaning you can wield them in your offhand.
There are a total of 6 puncher-type weapons added to the game in this update. You can acquire most from It That Bargains; however, the Tier 6 version must be found within the Eternal Battleground.

[h2]Adjustments[/h2]

• Adjusted additional sounds with audio pitching and reduced the volume of more common sound effects.
  

[h2]Bug Fixes[/h2]

• Fixed a bug where Captain Blackbear'd wouldn't end his turn properly. For real, this time.
  
• Fixed a bug where Nexus Wand wouldn't launch a torrent of projectiles.
  
• Fixed a bug where boosters wouldn't trigger when you hit the boost limit. Boosters now always give a Speedboost.
