It includes 10 monsters themed after ghostly guards and prisoners, two bosses, and exclusive equipment. Some monsters revive if not finished off, and others release homing souls after death. A searchlight gimmick patrols the field: getting caught three times spawns enhanced enemies.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChampion Perks are enhancements chosen at certain levels that can change a Champion's abilities drastically. For example, Beatrice's support skill Lotus Flower, which grants armor to allies, can be swapped for the Poison Flower perk, turning it into an explosive poison attack. Each Champion has dozens of possible perks, and players pick from two random options each time, with rerolls available.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe update also modifies the existing Perk system, which previously offered random roguelike enhancements that expired on death or retreat.
