Introduction
Introducing Alternative Cast Abilities! In this latest update, the game’s UI has been revamped to enhance the functionality of various abilities. Say goodbye to the old Auto-Cast and say hello to a whole new level of control. With Alternative Cast Abilities, players can now toggle between different behaviors for their abilities, just like before. Whether it’s using the alt+keybind or simply right-clicking, adjusting your cast behavior has never been easier. And to make things even more exciting, each casting mode now comes with its own unique icon, adding a touch of flair to your gameplay. But that’s not all! Holding down the Ctrl key allows you to effortlessly cast the non-selected version of the ability, eliminating the need for constant toggling. Get ready to experience the power of Alternative Cast Abilities with the updated Dark Seer’s Surge, Doom’s Devour, Elder Titan’s Echo Stomp, and Hoodwink’s Acorn Shot. It’s time to take your gaming skills to a whole new level!
