  • Detonate Turret: This skill has been moved off of the Tool Belt skill. It is now the flip skill for the associated turret.

  • Smoke Screen: This skill now functions with Rifled Turret Barrels, increasing its radius from 240 to 360.

June 27, 2013

  • Smoke Screen: Fixed a bug causing an infinite smoke combo field when it does not hit an enemy.

November 15, 2012

  • Smoke Screen: This skill's graphic has been updated to show the area of the screen.
    • It now pulses every 2 seconds for 6 seconds instead of every second for 5 seconds. This makes it more effective against enemies using attacks at normal speeds but prevents it from being abused to shut down quick-attacking enemies completely.
