Digital Confectioners

Hi Packmates! Firstly I'd like to welcome you all to the game and hope you are enjoying your time creating weird and wonderful builds while defeating the enemies of the forest! We have seen the builds you have been sharing in the Discord and have been incredibly impressed with your dedication and creativity.

This patch aims to address some of the feedback received as well as some of the balance issues with the end game as well as giving Summon builds a bit of help (plus some new toys to play with)
