Missing theme upgrades?
Of the 14 damage-dealing transformations (ignoring Petrified and Merchant tails), 13 have a theme upgrade, 1 doesn't. Does this make playing that theme less practical, especially on higher difficulties?
No theme upgrade:
Abilities missing theme upgrade benefits?
Of the 13 themes offering a theme upgrade, 8 apply the upgrade benefit to all their damage-dealing abilities, 5 don't. Does this make choosing those particular theme upgrades less cost-efficient or practical, compared to themes that fully benefit from their upgrades? (There may be balance reasons why some abilities don't benefit from upgrades.)
Partial theme upgrades:
- Beartouched (Swipes+ does more damage, Bear Hug+ doesn't)
- Celestial (Shooting Star+ does more damage, Falling Stars doesn't)
- Crowtouched (Crow Scratch+, and Scratch and Claw+ do more damage, Peck+ doesn't)
- Wolftouched (Wolf Claw+, and Frenzy+ do more damage, Wolf Bite+ doesn't)
Here for completeness, but an upgraded shred attack might be considered too powerful:
- Skeletal (Dagger Strike+ does more damage, Bitter Scratch+ doesn't shred more armor)
Range issues?
Skeletal's (left arm) Bitter Scratch has range 1.6, but its (right arm) Dagger Strike has range 1.1. Is there a reason why the right arm has a shorter reach than the left?
