!! NOTICE !!

this mod is part of a port of TheMysticSword's family of MIT-Licensed mods for SotS. This will be taken down(deprecated) once mystic comes back and wishes to continue the project herself.

while this mod is not open-source (now) or MIT-Licensed, Mystic has given permission for the mod to be ported to SlipStream, which I have then given permission to port it in their stead. The above still applies and it also applies to Jace with slipstream.

Elite Variety

Adds 6 new elite types! Supports Aspect Abilities for on-use effects.

Ironclad - spawns with full barrier that doesn't decay. Roots on hit. On use: gain temporary armor.

Invigorating - carries a warbanner that buffs nearby allies. Temporarily changes Warbanner buff to Frenzy on hit. On use: increase banner radius.

Pillaging - steals gold from nearby allies. Steals gold from the victim on hit. On use: spend all of your gold and gain a random item. The more gold spent, the higher chance of getting a rarer item.

Arenaceous - always surrounded by a sandstorm that deals damage to nearby enemies. Reduces visibility on hit. On use: dash forward, knocking nearby enemies up. Armor increased during the dash.

Tinkering - spawns up to 3 Tinkerer's Drones every few seconds that become stronger with the amount of Item Scrap in the inventory. Steal the victim's Item Scrap on hit. On use: heal all ally drones.

ERYTHRITE (loop exclusive) - targets looking at this elite will take more damage the longer they look at it. Impales on hit, causing to periodically take high damage over 60 seconds. On use: teleport to the victim and deal damage after a short period of time.
