New Defenses added to the Jester:
Jack-in-the-Box (Level 1, 3 DU, 40 mana): A Defense with a fairly short-range, forward-facing punching glove. It has high health and a slow attack rate, but makes up for this with high damage and knock-back capability, with a 20% chance to knock back enemies normally immune to knockback effects, such as Ogres.
Party Popper (Level 3, 4 DU, 50 mana): A standard, mid-range projectile defense which shoots a wide range of projectiles with different attributes at random: Magic Missile (generic), Archer Minion arrow (generic), Fireball (fire, small splash radius), Djinn magic bolts (Fire, Lightning, Poison and Purity- all piercing), Deadly Striker bolts (generic, passes through walls), and Ogre poison balls (poison, huge splash radius). Inspecting this tower will show the element and damage for the next shot to be fired.
Reload speed, charge speed, knockback, blocking, guardian and propeller cat boosting stat generation clamped within their allowable range (no more picking up a sword with 1000% Blocking Bonus only to find it turned into 30% in your item box)Tavern Dummy is only hit once per tick by the Slice’N Dice and Lightning Towers to match all other targets.

It's just regular ol' water now.Projectiles reflected by a reflect beam no longer trigger the genie pet granting mana if they hit an enemy (Genie behavior when attacking enemies with your hero has not been changed).Enemies with suppressed elemental effects are always affected by gas traps,which now have an anti-discrimination policy.Guns with negative ammunition counts (displayed as 1 ammo) can now be upgradedFix banking mana at the forge eating the invested mana. The forge will find a new power source.“Report Issue” button in options menu now points to a public form (and results are sent directly to the CDT)Online mode defaults to steam (Gamespy no longer exists, so please don't select that option)Fix for certain weapons forcibly spawning with max stats
