Ecology Update 7 - Secret Update: Attention Stabfish! The final update in the ecology series is here! As you venture furthur into the depths of the underwater sea arena, you will discover that the sea has been hiding an even greater secret than we ever imagined. These ancient sands hold clues to the mysterious past of this underwater world, but what secrets do they hold? We must continue to explore and uncover the truth that lies beyond the wall of secrecy. Who knows what fame and fortune await those who are attentive enough to delve into this mystery? Perhaps a secret treasure, a lost civilization, or a sacred place? Or maybe it's just another wall of secret-sea, \*wink\* And yes, this is a bunch of gibberish to obscure the final secret update! If it is even a real update...

## 28 May 2023

Ecology Update 6 - The Siren: Greetings Stabfish! The resonance of the ironmonites has attracted a legendary creature, the Siren. Rumored to be seductively alluring, she possesses a mesmerizing voice that can heal any wounded soul. Keep an eye out for her rare appearances on the map, as her healing powers can replenish your health and energy. But that's not all - there's still one final update in the ecology series coming your way. Stay tuned to explore the secret in this underwater sea arena!

## 21 May 2023

Ecology Update 5 - Ironmonites: Attention Stabfish! The whirlpools have unearthed something prehistoric: Ironmonite. These ammonite fossils are essential materials for our weapon maker, Theo, to imbue weapons with special abilities. If you use these weapons to strike the Ironmonite, a resonance wave will be created that affects all nearby fish and objects. Don't miss out on this opportunity to gain an advantage over your opponents!

## 14 May 2023

Ecology Update 4 - Whirlpools: The time-space portal created by the Ouroborus has destabilized the sea, resulting in the appearance of massive whirlpools at random times and locations. These whirlpools make navigation more challenging than ever before, and they can disorient your control if you're not careful. Stay tuned for more updates, as the ecology of the arena continues to evolve, and the whirlpools are unearthing something prehistoric from the seabed.

## 7 May 2023

Ecology Update 3 - The Ouroborus: Attention Stabfish! A legendary creature, the Ouroborus, has been spotted in the underwater sea arena. This sea snake bites its own tail and spins around, preying on the Zellyfish. Its perpetual motion creates a hole in time and space, allowing it to appear in two places at once. The time-space portal at the center of the Ouroborus and its shadow are connected, enabling fish to teleport from one end to the other. However, this phenomenon is destabilizing the sea. Keep an eye out for upcoming updates, as the arena's ecology continues to evolve.

* Double the radius of Hazard Clouds that are created by Zellyfish or Fish Bolt.
* Shield Blueprint's recipe changed.

## 30 April 2023

Ecology Update 2 - Zellyfish: Greetings Stabfish! The concentration of elemental hazards has brought forth a new species of jellyfish, the Zellyfish. These creatures consume the elemental energy of the hazards and store it within themselves. Beware, as they are incredibly sensitive and can explode upon contact, releasing a cloud of dangerous elemental hazards that can harm nearby players. Keep your distance or risk triggering a chain reaction.

## 25 April 2023
