Make Your Mark

New

• Lane cosmetics: decorate your own lane and show off your progress. Everyone in the game sees it (you can hide other players' decorations in Options)
• Streak monument: play the Daily Challenge on consecutive days and a monument rises beside your spawn gate: a campfire at 3 days, an iron brazier at 7, a rune obelisk at 14, a golden statue at 30 and an eternal flame at 100. Break your streak and it shrinks
• Pets: nine little companions live along your lane, from a firefly swarm and a marsh toad to an ember fox, a watch owl, a hearth hound and a baby drake. They wander about, cower when a boss comes, cheer when you clear a wave and nap between waves
• Portal skins: restyle your spawn portal, with one for every race (molten, glacial, thunderhead, thornwild, tidal, radiant, whirlwind, astral) plus Emerald, Blood Moon, Gilded and two Premium skins
• Lane decoration sets: war banners, lantern rows that light up as the wave starts, wildflowers with butterflies, crystal spires, and Premium royal pennants and a harvest festival. Every set adapts to snow, sand, moss or dungeon stone
• Most cosmetics are earned by levelling up, race mastery, Daily Challenges and streaks; a few are Premium. Equip them on your Profile

Balance

• Water, Nature and Arcane are stronger again after build time slowed them down: Tide, Current and Drench hit harder; the Ancient and Spore Cloud hit a little harder; Monolith is a stronger anti-air (with less damage to ground creeps), and Archmage and Cosmos hit harder
