Fixes
Fixed a bug where weekly games weren't awarding spawn unlocks.
Fixed a bug where the game could fail to start properly.
Fixed end of game maze destruction having some safe spots.
Fixed Gluttonous Rune having a maximum of 4 stacks instead of 5.
Fixed reroll cost not increasing by 20 after unlocking all tiers. Starting cost lowered from 5 to 0 gold.
Fixed some towers not activating their start of wave abilities when constructed right as the wave begins.
Improved the performance of maze length calculations, which should reduce frame drops when building in extremely long mazes.

General
Players can now choose relics starting from wave 3. Relics grant powerful consumable or passive effects. Additionally, special choices are given at wave 13 and 18.
Players no longer gain a rune charge every few waves. Instead, one charge is given on wave 8. Further charges can be obtained through relics.
Starting from wave 3, salvaging towers or rocks now leaves behind rubble. Rubble continues to block creeps, can be constructed on top of, and is removed at the end of the wave.
Overall strength of slows has been reduced.
Slowpoke penalty now starts counting down while at least half of surviving players have finished the wave. The amount of leeway granted per wave has been adjusted to match this new design.
Creep boost now only affects a single wave, but is significantly more potent. Cost now scales by wave, not by number of uses. Creep boosting is now automatically disabled in non-synchronous games.
Various adjustments and some minor fixes to the RNG. Of note is that variance should now be marginally better. Sometimes. Random is still random.
The Progression UI now allows you to filter stats by game mode, as well as inspect other players' stats. This also works for stats prior to v2.0, but due to a bug, weekly games prior to v1.5.2 were recorded under custom mode stats. Additionally, due to massive changes, the highest wave cleared stat has been reset.
Most custom UI elements have been combined into a dropdown menu in the bottom-right corner.
Added a new custom UI: Spectropedia. This allows you to browse all towers by colors, and see their stats and abilities. At some point in the future, this will be expanded to also show runes and relics.
Added a new custom UI: Changelog.
Added a new custom UI: Settings.
Added a new custom UI: Weekly. This allows you to preview weekly waves up to wave 40. This is only visible in weekly mode.
Added a new mechanic: Vulnerability. Vulnerability increases all damage taken by the target. Targets can be affected by multiple sources of vulnerability, but only the most powerful one will be in effect. Like slows, current vulnerability is displayed while selecting a creep.
Added a new stat indicating the current number of kills of a tower.
Added a number of new rock formations to the maze generation.
There is no longer a maximum number of rune or rock charges.
Runes are no longer hidden when you place a rock over them.
Improved the responsiveness of towers to new units entering their attack range. This notably helps melee towers.

Towers
Added a new set of Tier 6 towers: Electronexus (blue), Doom Lord (red), Auric Annihilator (yellow), Archlich (purple), Soul Keeper (green), Dreadmage (orange) and Seraph (white). You may choose to construct one of these on Wave 18.
