Shrinebreaker Update: Druid Effects and Audio Fixed

Shrinebreaker update - Wed, Nov 4, 2026

• Druid impacts face the right way. Thorn Shot's and Thorn Volley's splinter bursts (and the bursts of every Druid seed that uses them: Snaring Roots, Entangling Earth, Thornstorm, Quagmire, Spore Cloud, Vine Lash, Upheaval, Briarstorm and Worldroot) were always drawn sideways. Each burst now points the way its projectile was flying - upright and compact when you watch your own thorns fly away from you, along the line of fire when you see them from the side, mirrored when they fly left. Stampede's hoof shock, Vine Lash's yank (it now pulls toward the Druid who cast it) and Briar Wall's thorn puncture also face the right way.

• One icon for Regrowth. Casting Regrowth showed two Regrowth icons in your effects list; now you see one, the same one your allies see. Other Druid spells that put two effects on you (Strangling Vines' bleed and slow, Upheaval's lift and slow) now show one row each too.

• Quieter thorn impacts. Thorn Shot, Thorn Volley, Stampede and the thorn storms used to play one impact sound per thorn, so three to five splinters stacked into one loud crack that drowned out other spells. A cast's thorns landing together now make one sound, and Thorn Volley's and Briarstorm's impacts are at half volume, Thorn Shot's at 70%.

• Mind Storm's lightning follows the leap. Seen from the caster, Mind Storm's first arc fell apart into a stack of flat dashes; each arc now runs as one bolt from chest to chest whichever way you look at it.
