**Highmane's Arsenal Update 1.6.1**
**Highlights:** Combat Adjustments, New Poisons,

**Combat and Balance Changes:**
The Rapier has had its hyper armor reduced to cover less of the heavies, and gets even worse the further into the chain you go

Greataxe Offhand now uses 16 stamina (down from 21)
Greataxe Offhand 2 now uses 16 stamina (down from 21), damage multiplier increased from 1.3 to 1.5 (same damage multiplier as a heavy)

Adjusted Scorpion Queen Poison and Reaper Poison resetting their tick timer every time a new stack was applied - this previously made the poison actually have a 1 second pause every time a new stack was added, signifcantly reducing damage output
Buffed Bloodscourge Poison - it now ticks once every second, rather than 1.25 seconds.

Wielding any shield from Highmane's Arsenal now grants an additional 100 armor (including shields from Skeleton Key Chests)

**Highmane's Arsenal Update 1.6**
**Highlights:** New Weapon Type: Rapiers, Tweaks, Fabled Weapon Touchups

**Combat and Balance Changes:**
Rapier: A weapon designed around fast thrusting attacks, quick recoveries, bleed damage, and low stamina cost, the rapier is a weapon built for those who like to be quick and nimble whilst both making aggressive advances and quick retreats as needed, with the ability to flow between both within combos.
The rapier features a very fast 4-hit light chain that bleeds on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th light attack, then resets back into the first hit for an infinite chain. While it is lower damage, it's great at building up status effects or punishing stationary and out of stamina targets.
The rapiers heavies are designed with advancing forward thrusts that end with a quick slash to cripple targets. Any part of the recovery of both the light and heavy chains, including finishers, can be cancelled with the offhand attack.
The rapier's offhand move is a quick backstep partially covered by hyper armor to escape attacks, which lets you very quickly flow into your light or heavy opener after the dodge. This move can be used in the middle of chains, to initiate chains, or to reset chains.
The rapier has 2 sprint attacks as light or heavy that combo into your second move in chain.
The rapier's dodge cancel windows are very wide - the main combos can be dodge cancelled out of at any time, and the sprint attacks and offhand both recovery very quickly to allow you to dodge again.

Grenades:
Offhand Blast Grenade damage radius increased to be about 75% of a normal grenade rather than less than 50%
Very slight increase to Shrapnel Grenade damage
Corrected Concussive Grenade damage - it is now the same on light and heavy, and the radius now also correctly matches shrapnel grenades

Improved Musket, Crossbow, and Pistol aim - they now use a more centered camera. Be warned that close range shots might hit a little lower than intended due to the nature of the aiming.

Sword, Axe, and Mace + Offhand Throwing Axe has received hyper armor buffs to be protected during more of their attacking stage

Changes to Fabled Weapons: Balance pass across all of them to increase damage / armor pen up to the same tier. Fabled weapons are meant to be about 1-2 damage and 1% armor pen higher than their legendary standards. A lot of two handed weapons fell below that quota, and the mace inparticular well exceeded it.

**New Items:**

Decoration: Wooden Bench

Weapons: Common Rapier, Guarded Rapier, Pirate Rapier

Armor: White Tiger Tail (Accessory, admin spawn only)

**Highlights:** Grenade Additions, Helmets

**Combat and Balance Changes:**
All 'Volatile Orb' items have been renamed to simply have a 'Grenade' suffix
All Grenades items now throw faster, and have better recoveries
All Grenades have had weight and stamina cost adjustments based off their effectiveness, their short descriptions will detail stamina costs:
A light orb - 10 light / 15 heavy (Reserved for combat orbs like shrapnel and concussive)
A medium orb - 20 light / 25 heavy (Reserved for utility orbs like smoke and gas)
A heavy orb - 30 light / 35 heavy (Reserved for big utility effect orbs like siege damage and healing)
A very heavy orb - 99 light / 99 heavy (Reserved for things not meant to be spammed like voice orbs)
Grenades now stack to 25, from 10
It is now possible to dual wield Grenades by using any mainhand Grenade with the Offhand Burst Grenade. They also combo. Infinitely, with Offhand > Light or Heavy then Light / Heavy > Offhand (or the other way around)

Ultra Greatsword will now combo into it's Offhand attack for the first 3 lights or heavies. It is still considered a finisher still and has no followup.
Ultra Greatsword Offhand now uses 16 stamina instead of 20
Tampered with input windows to prevent some instances of accidental attacks after sprints or finishers

Crossbow and Musket shots out of a walk or sprint will now be almost accurate instead of consistently shooting the floor

Solspiel and Mistmourn had their reactive effect changed: It now lasts short (12 seconds from 20) but inflicts a far more potent temperature debuff when struck

**Highmane's Arsenal Update 1.5.5**
**Highlights:**

**Combat and Balance Changes:**
New Weapon Type - the Ultra Greatsword
Featuring a 4 hit-chain light and heavy combos that break any and all guards unfortunate enough to be in their way, an offhand attack, and 3 sprint attacks, the Ultra Greatsword is an extremely powerful and weighty weapon made for those who don't mind taking a hit to deliver one much bigger. You'll find this weapon has great hyper armor coverage and very high damage, but with a very slow weapon speed to match. While it's reach keeps it reasonably effective even against moving targets, it's extreme weight tires out the wielder quickly and it's slow speed leaves users open to counter attacks, especially from longer weapon types. The Heavy Sprint attack has the unique ability to send your enemies flying away with a legendary golf swing, and the offhand move, although slow, can knockdown any target it strikes if they're not in a hyper armor state.

Greataxe Chop has received combo support - after a chop, you can chain into your 3rd light, 3rd heavy, or a new offhand move that applies sunder and knocks down enemies
Greataxe Heavies now apply status afflictions - Heavy 1 Bleeds, Heavy 2 Bleeds, Heavy 3 Cripples, Heavy 4 Sunders (formerly, none of them applied anything)
Greataxe Heavy 3, Light 3, and Light 4 no longer chain to offhand attack to prevent an infinite combo
Greataxe Opener Light had an adjustment made so it will accept combo inputs sooner (slightly before the actual swing) instead of on a weird timing after the swing
Greataxe Sprint attacks now correctly chain into light 2 rather than light 3
