Hello everyone! The Game Design team has prepared another mid-update patch for you all, this time focused on revamping the Revenant Gauntlet and the long-awaited return of Lacerum Incisis!

Changed Content
General Gauntlet Changes:
- We have adjusted the minimum amount of players who can join, this now means you need a minimum of 3 players to join the Gauntlet, with up to 5 maximum.
- With the change to the amount of players who can join, we have rebalanced the Gauntlet to be aimed towards 4 players in a Gauntlet. This should hopefully give people the opportunity to go with fewer people (3) for a more difficult experience as well as go with more people (5) for a slightly easier experience. The Gauntlet still has some aspects that scale according to the amount of players, mainly certain boss skills (the health of the bosses are the same for any player amount however).

Enchantress:
- Added a new skill for the cat form called 'Super Pounce' it shoots out a projectile for each player and it does 2500 dmg & spawns a cat mob that has 6k health and 800 melee dmg (this ability has at least a 15s cooldown).
- Buffed the fairy and mirror image mobs. The fairy mobs have 20k health with 500 melee damage and the mirror image mobs have 4k health
- Decreased health from 750000 (OG Health) --> 400000 (about 46% decrease)

These changes were made to adjust for other buffs/skills, as well as hopefully solve the issue of this boss taking too long to kill and feeling boring.

Butcher:
- Decreased health from 800k --> 500k (about 37% decrease)
- Butcher Plague aura now does 500 damage when the skill is run
- Decreased the cooldowns for Axe Throw and Whirlwind from 8s -->...

This past month, we released our first ever gauntlet, Revenant, for all graduates. Our biggest goal when releasing the Gauntlet was returning a player-favorite experience while also showcasing the new tech that we’ll be using in the future. While we feel that we’ve achieved these goals, there are a few places where we feel the experience could be made much better.
Game Design Philosophy and Decisions Made Prior to Release

When we first began planning Gauntlets & Dungeons, we held internal discussions over if we should return a fan-favorite in the form of the Revenant Gauntlet, or a new Dungeon, which we began work on, but it quickly became too large of a project for our first outing with the technology needed behind the Gauntlets/Dungeons. We opted, at that point, to pursue Revenant, as we knew more about what we wanted to accomplish with the gameplay and we already had many of the building blocks already available to us, instead of having to start from scratch. This allowed us to instead focus our energy on ensuring that everything was properly working, and simply bringing the old content up to new standards, which included revamping the bosses, as well as...
