Andromeda Origins v1.4.72

A large collection of fixes, balance changes, performance improvements, Champion updates, compatibility work, and visual improvements since v1.4.46.

Highlights

• Corrected all custom HUD resource bar mappings and cleaned up stray/internal HUD bars.
• Added 2× cooldown recovery to Champion Origins, with additional Champion parity fixes across the roster.
• Added new Champion abilities including Manticore Bloodrift and Wyverian Dragon's Breath / Dragon Charge.
• Added optional Spell Engine + More RPG Library Enhanced FX across all 13 Origins, with expanded staged, impact, target, movement, and channel effects.
• Added an Origin-aware repair system that rebuilds Andromeda-managed attributes based on the player's currently selected Origin.
• Added exact client/server Andromeda Origins version checking.
• Added major Apoli server-performance optimizations while remaining pinned to the stable Origins/Apoli pre.2 versions.
• Added migration support so older players can automatically receive newly-added iron weakness subpowers without reselecting their Origin.

Origin Fixes & Balance

• Arachne

  • Fixed Webspinner progress resetting.
  • Restored Cobweb Fatigue values.
  • Reduced Eightfold Swiftness grapple range and excessive pull.
  • Removed forced downward ground-dash velocity.
  • Fixed climbing being able to interact with phasing. Arachne still ignores cobweb slowdown without receiving a phasing power.

• Faerie

  • Improved Trickster descriptions and FX.
  • Fixed Champion/standard visibility interactions.
  • Corrected illusion cleanup behavior.

• Fenrkin

  • Adrenaline cooldown increased to 6 minutes base.
  • Adrenaline now reliably restores exactly 8 health.
  • Fixed Mark of Fenrir and Champion parity.
  • Step Assist / Darkvision now use a dedicated Origin Toggle state, preventing Primary from turning Step Assist back on when disabled.

• Gorgon

  • Restored Ophidian Gaze and Transference to their intended 32-block range.
  • Expanded Gaze/Transference FX.

• Human

  • Improved Mortal Resolve and Indomitable reliability.
  • Fixed Incapacitated state cleanup after Mortal Resolve.
  • Indomitable can no longer bypass Mortal Resolve's final death.

• Lichling

  • Chimes of Necros range increased to 15 blocks.
  • Chimes now builds increasing Wither duration while channeling.
  • Added Lichling screech audio and expanded Doom/Chimes FX.

• Manticore

  • Beast of Blood now removes only harmful status effects instead of wiping beneficial/neutral effects.
  • Champion Manticore gained Bloodrift, a short Undetectable rupture ability with a fixed 10-second cooldown.

• Nereid / Selkie

  • Convalescing Aura now properly interacts with Selkie's native hydration system instead of creating duplicate Wet timers.
  • Improved Aura, Submersion, Surging Tides, Coastal Phalanx, and Sealskin Bastion FX.

• Siren

  • Infatuation duration reduced to 10 seconds.
  • Standard Siren is now properly carnivorous; non-meat foods such as golden apples/carrots are blocked while drinks remain usable.
  • Iron weapon hits now correctly apply Siren's intended Wither weakness.

• Veilborn

  • Fixed Wet/Unstable duration accumulation and duplicate HUD bars.
  • Wet duration now caps at 90 seconds.
  • Corrected Enhanced FX colors.
  • Auroral Mirage no longer leaves tracking particles while invisible.
  • Champion Mirage retains its special Darkness burst and 5-second cooldown.

• Wyverian

  • Champion Wyverian gained Dragon's Breath and Dragon Charge.
  • Cleaned up first-person Ember/Dragon VFX so particles no longer obstruct the crosshair.
  • Replaced long-lasting campfire smoke with much shorter smoke effects.
  • Moved charge-up effects away from eye level for better visibility.

Iron Weakness

Standard Faerie, Gorgon, and Lichling iron weakness received a major reliability/performance rewrite.

• Carrying iron deals ½ heart of Wither damage every second.
• Inventory checks run every 5 ticks instead of every tick.
• Dropping the final iron item removes the iron-caused Wither almost immediately.
• Existing players are automatically migrated when joining if they are missing newer iron-weakness subpowers.
• /andromedaorigins repair <player> can also repair the missing powers without requiring an Origin reselect.
• Champion variants remain exempt from racial iron weakness.

Champion Updates

• Champions now recover normal player-facing cooldowns at 2× speed.
• Completed a full Champion parity audit and corrected several missing/shared interactions.
• Fixed Champion projectile protection during movement abilities.
• Added missing Champion Enhanced FX.
• Champion-specific exceptions remain intact, including Humanity, Veilborn, Manticore, and Wyverian abilities.

Performance & Compatibility

• Added caching for expensive Apoli power-type lookups while still evaluating dynamic power conditions normally.

• Replaced Apoli's expensive world-wide EntitySet unload scan with an indexed holder system.

• No constant world/entity scan is added by the new migration or repair systems.

• Origins and Apoli remain pinned to:

  • Origins 1.13.0-pre.2+mc.1.21.1
  • Apoli 2.12.0-pre.2+mc.1.21.1

• Added exact Andromeda Origins client/server version synchronization.

Enhanced FX

Optional support for Spell Engine and More RPG Library now provides expanded audiovisual effects across the entire Origin roster.

This includes:

• ability charge stages
• cast and impact bursts
• movement trails
• target-side effects
• channel pulses
• healing/shield visuals
• Doom and Wither effects
• Champion-specific effects
• improved fire, water, veil, holy, blood, web, wind, stone, and arcane themes

These remain optional cosmetic enhancements and do not change gameplay when the libraries are absent.
