Here's this week's things; all of Fulgur's mutation upgrades are at a stage where I'm mostly happy to show them off (though as usual, they are subject to change). After that, you get a quick preview of Turul's AI improvements.

With Fulgur, the Primary mutation changes the usual dual lightning hose into a spray of smaller, wilder shock beams. The range is shorter, and you lose out on the upgrades chain-lighting, but gain a super-strong death cone for up close (which is also safer to use than Algor's similar effect, since it has the innate knockback of lightning damage).

The Secondary mutation is for those that really hate getting trick shots with the Plasma ball; it becomes grounded with much shorter tendrils, but hits its final destination with a serious wallop.

The Tertiary mutation removes the ability to create a powerful static storm; instead, you'll create smaller storm clouds that follow you around and fire at closer targets, like guardians. Rather than having periodic fire, they have a set amount of shots before they dissappear

Finally, we get to see Turul the falcon; who has been given some revision to his AI. Before, he had a very loose leash, and this murder-hobo bird had a habit of flying off and slaughtering half the level whilst you weren't looking so long as he could keep finding new targets (lol). Now, he has a special return swoop animation if he gets too far and also teleports to you if you can't be seen more reliably. Isn't that kind of a nerf? Yes it is... but he was too good for a single upgrade item before!
