README
QueenGlandBuff
The goal of this mod is to buff Beetle Guards spawned by the Queen's Gland so they provide more than just emotional support.
Skill Changes
The biggest issue with Beetle Guards is their inability to fight an aerial enemy, to counter this its attacks now launch projectiles. These extra projectiles also make Beetle Guards deal a lot of extra damage so their damage has been reduced to compensate.
For its Slam skill it fires out 5 projectiles evenly upwards. This is mostly for crowds and flying enemies that are just out of range.
Its Sunder skill now fires 5 projectiles in the direction the Guard is aiming. This allows them to hit flying enemies.
AI Changes
The AI now prefers to use Sunder over Slam, this is so it doesn't get locked into using Slam against flying enemies that are slightly out of reach.
Item/Stacking Changes
Each player can now only have 3 Beetle Guards each, further stacks increase their health and damage. The 30 seconds respawn timer now actually functions but is reduced to 20 seconds. Beetle Guards spawn with an elite affix for some extra spice.
Extra Skills
The mod also adds 2 new skills to the Beetle Guard to make them useful beyond damage.
A new Utility called "Recall". This skill teleports the user back to their owner, the AI uses this when it's beyond the leash length. This ability is useful for those situations where the Beetle Guard is incapable of navigating back to their owner.
A new Special called "Staunch". This skill gives the user a buff for 10 seconds that forces nearby enemy AI to target it. This ability helps keep Beetle Guards useful even after their damage has fallen off.
Known Issues
- None for now?

1.3.0
Just a quick fix to get it running with the new DLC. Give me a yell if the Beetle Guards are spawning as Mending without the DLC.
- Updated for SotV
1.2.0
- Added "Regen" configuration, controls the out of combat health regen Beetle Guards are given.
- "Become Elite" configuration now allows for Elite Beetle Guards only during Artifact of Honor.
- Now uses a more accurate method of collecting the elites types it can use.
1.1.1
While the Beetle Guards are much more powerful, their reduced durability along with respawn times gave them way too much downtime. These adjustments should improve uptime by allowing them to recover in-between fights.
- Beetle Guards now regenerate health outside of combat.
- "BaseHealth" default configuration changed. (0->10)
- "StackHealth" default configuration changed. (5->10)
1.1.0

- Fixed stacking health and damage bonuses not syncing for clients.
- "StackHealth" configuration now uses integers default value changed (0.25 -> 5)
- "StackDamage" configuration now uses integers default value changed (0.5 -> 15)
- Beetle Frenzy buff no longer stacks, stat increases have been improved to compensate.
- Added a potential fix for buffs being out of sync in multiplayer with certain mods. (If this fails I'll just use R2API for the buffs.)
- Removed "Upgrade Beetle Guard" configuration, was mostly just for messing around.
1.0.0
- First public release.
