Changes to Item Mechanics

• Tweaked how damage from luck stacks ( Lucky, Baby Elephant, Cyberball etc.) (Nerf)
  • Editor Note: explanation from Blobfish (via Discord):
  • Implementation has been tweaked a bit which makes them weaker:
  • Instead of stacking all damage when having multiple, each item's damage is tied to it's proc'ing probability
  • so when you have 3 baby elephants dealing 1 damage each, it used to always deal 3 damage when procing, but now it can deal 1, 2 or 3 damage)
  • Editor note: So they now behave more like Hunting Trophy.

Enemies
