This one took a while, sorry, and the next one probably won't come soon as well. With that out of the way, here's some good news: we have a laser sword now!

Main changes:
-The Katana - a new weapon for the Ninja. This green laser sword emits energy waves that slice through enemies and has a cool new secondary ability...
-Deflect! Deflect redirects incoming projectiles towards your crosshair, but requires a certain amount of precision to pull off. If performed correctly, its cooldown resets.
-The Blast Collision passive - a new passive for the Vanguard that generates explosions every time the player collides with something at high speeds.
-Aand some aesthetic changes to increase bloom and stuff
