King's Gambit - Changelog

‍Update: May 28, 2026

The orb from the Holy Hell unique ability has been updated to only register a single hit at a time.

Dev Note: Of note is that this will impact, among other interactions between skills and weapons, Rafa’s Double-Ought Autoshot skill. Specifically with the orb only registering one hit at a time, the increased pellet count from Double-Ought Autoshot and its other ricochet projectiles will deliver damage more in-line with what was intended when using this weapon and skill combination.

Update: May. 07, 2026

Increased base damage by +14%.
