• Fire nails deal 4x damage against non player entities(1 nail damage, 1 burn damage)

Dash & dodge ↺

Dodge ▲

• Now takes your movement keys(WASD/IJKL or any others) to pick your direction instead of just taking your momentum.

Thermal ↺

• Now reduces Fire and Ice damage by 70%

Flame burst ▲

• Will now add the time to the fire duration, rather then setting. This stacks to a maximum of 20 seconds.
• Reduced time target is set on fire, 10s -> 5s

Freeze ▼

• Will no longer add frozen ticks if the entity will be frozen for more than 27 seconds
• Reduced time target is frozen, 18.5s -> 5s
• If the target has lower than 7 seconds of frozen ticks, they will gain those 7 seconds and then have the additional 5 seconds added on. This is because ice damage is not dealt if a target has less than 7 seconds of frozen ticks.
• Frost bolts do the same.

Frost thorns ▼

• Frost bolts add less frost time 10s -> 5s
• Frost bolts now set 7 seconds of frost if the target has less.

• Failing to parry(having nothing be parried during the parry window) will now lower your shield and put it on cooldown for 5 seconds.
• Can now parry nails
• Removed special parry types. All projectiles, with the exception of ender pearls and tridents, will fall into one of 3 categories. Weak, Strong and Very strong, which create explosions that deal 10, 15 and 20 damage respectively. Hitting a cannonball with these will upgrade the explosion. [this is done via tags, so if you have mods with different projectiles then you can use those to add them. All projectiles default to weak]
• All parry explosions are now the same size

Ankle Guard ▲

• Reduces fall and kinetic damage by 25% before limiting them
• Raised minimum hp that fall and kinetic damage can take you to, 1hp -> 25% hp with a minimum of 1hp

This is a big balance change update with not much in terms of new content. However, please do trust me when I say there are a lot of plans to go forward. New weapons, new ideas, and new ways to shape combat in your favour.

There are still some problems with astral arsenal, including it being difficult to catch up to a player that is running away. Rectifying this is going to be tricky, but ideas are in the works. If you have any ideas, thoughts, or feelings about this mod, then please do reach out on discord in the #astral-arsenal channel in the Team Voided discord server. You can also get noitified for spoilers, releases, and more from me there.

Enjoy 3.0.0!!!
