Lore	The Bermuda Triangle was never a myth, it was a shadowline nexus deep underneath the Atlantic Ocean. For the most part, the things that escaped this astral gate were benign (like Nessie), but now something dark and predatory known only as The Adversary hunts the seas... and ocean denizens are scared to death. One of those inhabitants, a psychic sea anemone, wants to do something about it. Summoning an ectoplasmic goo body to traverse the surface, Viscous is desperately trying to summon The Patrons in order to keep The Deep safe from the horror that lurks below.The Bermuda Triangle was never a myth, it was a shadowline nexus deep underneath the Atlantic Ocean.

Changes are computed by diffing the game files between builds 5339 and 5340 and 5342 and 5344. A change is only labelled a buff or a nerf where the stat has an unambiguous direction — a longer duration, for example, can be either, so it is reported as a change without a judgement.
