The Upgraded Rogue chestplate turns one sword into two backstabs. Wear it with a normal chainmail helmet, leggings and boots.
BuffYour gold sword survives your first backstab instead of shattering. It just loses half its durability
ChangedYour second backstab with that sword deals half damage and then the sword breaks
ChangedEverything else works like a normal rogue: Resistance II, Speed III and Jump Boost II passives, Sugar for Speed V, Feather for Jump Boost VI, and a 3.5 heart backstab from behind
Rogue
ChangedA backstab is a hit from behind with an unenchanted gold sword. It deals 3.5 hearts straight through armour
ChangedNormal rogues break their sword on every backstab. Backstabs have a 3 second cooldown and give you Slowness III for 2 seconds
Upgraded Bard
BuffBlaze Powder gives your team Strength II for 8 seconds instead of Strength I
AddedUnlocks Saturation (Wheat), Invisibility (Golden Carrot) and the Pusher (Coal), which only Upgraded Bards can use
