bug? Electro circuit bug? and chorus circuit stack buff suggestion

[mr.wilson.BR]

Currently it seems that the overcharge mechanic of the circuits are completely unaffected by wetness, dealing 100 damage flat per circuit be it wet or dry when wx overcharges, i imagine this is a bug so i'd like to bring this to attention,

While i'm here i might as well talk about a possible additional effect to stacking the chorusbox circuit being that with 2 of them, you'd make followers immune to the panic effect bosses have when screeching (similar to how merms are for some reason immune to it by default, which might be a bug or oversight of it's own)

 (it has been brought to my attention and after some testing myself, merms in fact get the panic effect as every other mob apart from merm guard does, sorry for the confusion as it has been a while since i've played the game).

This would open up room for new strategies and honestly just make them actually a bit useful in combat, bunnymen and pigs are basically relegated to either farms or chopping trees since fighting bosses with them takes too many resources for them to barely scratch the bosses because they're panicking for over half of the time they're alive, if not the entire time they're alive.

 

I guess that's about it for now, so far, maybe adding more 1 slot beta circuits would be nice (even existing ones like a 1 slot speed circuit would be nice, not even asking for increased effectiveness, just so i can actually utilize my singular lonely empty pin that i usually fill with a light circuit now) but other than that i have nothing else to say, the skill tree is great and i look forward to the full release 😄

i'm a dummy and outdated and forgot to check my facts on merm changes

Also I want to point out that the overcharge mechanic persists even after the electro circuit was unplugged.

I would like this change, also only the merm guards should not panic.

-Oh i thought that was purely visual, i actually quite liked it but yeah that's another one to add to the bug list then.

-Agreed, merm guards are fair game to being immune to panic (maybe in a far off future where we can recruit pig guards too, they shall get the same benefit, maybe even spider warriors since they also still panic from boss screeches)

specifically merm guards, as far as I know.

You're both correct, i do know for a fact that merms at some point were immune to the panic effect but now it's exclusively a merm guard's passive buff, sorry for the confusion!

But hey maybe this could bring out more team composition play, with wx's proposed effect making every follower immune to the panic effect.

Guard merms specifically are immune to it and this is very intended
