TMNT: Splintered Fate update adds 24 co-op powers, eight tools and eight masteries

Super Evil Megacorp has released a free update for TMNT: Splintered Fate that leans hard into co-op play, according to the patch notes (via Nintendo Life). It brings a stack of new powers, tools and masteries built for teaming up.

Beyond the new content, the update adds improved flame visuals, options for swapping characters in both online and local co-op, and clearer communication around Lucky Dice.

New co-op powers

There are 24 new co-op powers, three for each power tree. A few examples:

• Passing the Torch: the first player you touch while Rapid Fire is active also picks up its effects, for as long as your Rapid Fire lasts.
• Shared Warmth: when a player uses a Splinter’s Revive, every player is healed.
• Chain Reaction: player Specials have a chance to set off Chain Lightning, which deals Utrom damage on each link.

New co-op tools

Eight new co-op tools arrive, one per power tree. Examples include:

• Bubble Trouble: spawns a bubble on you and the farthest player. It deals Water damage, freezes enemies and gives players bonus Water damage.
• Tether Beam: links you to the closest player, and enemies caught in the beam take Utrom damage every second.
• Shadow Pact: gives you and the closest player a Dark Shell, which each defeated enemy extends.

New co-op masteries

There are eight new co-op masteries, one for each character. Some examples:

• Donatello: using your Tool makes the closest player invulnerable.
• Raphael: when any player lands a critical hit, there’s a chance it becomes a Multi-crit.
• Michelangelo: using your Special gives you and the closest player a Torrent Strike stack.
• Leonardo: activating your Special gives the closest player Light Shell.
