Version history

Version	Date	Change	What changed
v1302	Jun 20, 2026	Updated	Updated crescendo rhythm handling to track boosted notes via tempData rather than loop index, with refreshed rhythm colors and added boost effects. View full breakdown Loaded the tempData module. Replaced the rhythmCrescendo fourth-note check with a per-caster perk_rhythmCrescendo hit counter that triggers every 4 hits. Applied the rhythm boost flag to eighth-note selection, explosion radius, and damage radius calculations. Changed rhythmCrescendo note colors to brighter green, cyan, and purple values. Added neon block particles and a rhythm sound when the boosted rhythm explosion triggers.
v1296	May 15, 2026	Updated	Crescendo gets a new ability icon and now ends its cast state immediately while its note projectiles continue firing in sequence. View full breakdown Updated Crescendo’s icon asset. Moved Crescendo’s note firing sequence into a background task. The ability state now changes to end without waiting for every note’s 0.15-second stagger. Projectile visuals, note colors, hit behavior, burst damage, and Rhythm Crescendo’s fourth-note boost remain unchanged.

Eighth notes fire based on your Critical Strike Chance and deal 25% more damage.
With Rhythm Crescendo, the 4th note in a row is always an eighth note and bursts in a 50% larger radius.
Your equipped instrument perk (Drum, Lyre, or Flute) changes the instrument played — sound and animation only; damage is unchanged.
