During the beta, the hallowed sentinel only wielded a greatsword. But now that the full game is out, the Withered Knight gets a second weapon like the five other classes: a polearm and shield. It&#8217;s this set of weapons that saw some improvements, with Bellring Games boosting the damage of some of its attacks to make the Withered Knight even more deadly in combat.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite sitting in the B-tier on GameSpot&#8217;s class rankings, what makes the Withered Knight such a lethal class is its ability to apply constant pressure, its heavy burst damage thanks to the Wither skill (which explodes after afflicting a character or monster), and its chase-down potential with its dash attacks and grappling hook. It&#8217;s a perfect mix between a flanking assassin and an aggressive brawler, making the Withered Knight scary to face head-on.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The July 30 update also fixes a plethora of issues that&#8217;ve cropped up. This includes things like adjusting the visual discrepancies with the Sorcerer&#8217;s Flameblade, addressing connection problems for console players, ironing out game crashes, and fixing unresponsive keys when quickly closing the guide UI.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They&#8217;re all very welcome fixes for a game that has the potential to expand the extraction genre. At the time of writing, almost 30,000 people are playing the game on Steam, suggesting that there&#8217;s a possible desire for more games in the genre that aren&#8217;t just shooters.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can check the full patch notes for Mistfall Hunter&#8217;s July 30 update below.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-mistfall-hunter-s-july-30-update-patch-notes\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mistfall Hunter&#8217;s July 30 Update Patch Notes<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Class Balance Adjustments<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Withered Knight \u2014 Polearm and Shield:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Charged Dash: Energy drain during the shield-raising charge phase has been slightly reduced, and the turning performance of a Tier-1 charged dash has been slightly improved.<\/li>\n<li>Basic Attack: Damage of the 1st and 3rd thrust hits has been slightly increased.<\/li>\n<li>Spear Barrage: Damage multiplier slightly increased.<\/li>\n<li>Rainbow Piercer: Energy cost slightly reduced, and cooldown slightly reduced.<\/li>\n<li>Block: Energy cost reduced.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Key Bug Fixes<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Fixed incorrect key prompts in the Sorcerer&#8217;s spellcasting tutorial in the beginner guide for certain languages.<\/li>\n<li>Fixed a mismatch between the visual effect range and actual damage range of the Sorcerer&#8217;s Flameblade.<\/li>\n<li>Fixed an issue where repeatedly entering and exiting the area around a Soul Tree while summoning an extraction point would incorrectly consume an extra Soul of Return.<\/li>\n<li>Fixed an issue where items could not be split via the secondary menu.<\/li>\n<li>Fixed an issue where some matches on console platforms could not reconnect after a disconnect.<\/li>\n<li>Fixed an occasional impassable-area anomaly in the &#8220;General Harald&#8221; challenge.<\/li>\n<li>Fixed an issue where some keys would occasionally become unresponsive when the guide UI was closed very quickly.<\/li>\n<li>Fixed a game crash caused by moving the cursor to specific regions with the stick on the Seasonal Leaderboard screen while using a controller.<\/li>\n<li>Fixed an issue where equipment could not be unequipped from the Loadout system while using a controller.<\/li>\n<li>Fixed an issue where certain gem slots could not be selected via the D-pad in the Auction House while using a controller.<\/li>\n<li>Fixed an incorrect pop-up shown when exiting the game on the Xbox PC platform.<\/li>\n<li>Fixed an occasional display anomaly on the deck screen on PS5&#8211;the issue can be resolved by restarting the game.<\/li>\n<li>Fixed an issue where the public Training Room settings could not be opened while using a controller.<\/li>\n<li>Fixed missing audio for the Execution Animation: Execute&#8211;Voidflame Requiem.<\/li>\n<li>Fixed an incorrect description for the Sorcerer talent Chant Guard.
