Patch Notes v2.1.0.0

Game Version: v2.1.0.0

General Updates

• Rewards Screen Skip Button: Added a Skip Button to the Rewards Screen, allowing players to bypass the rewards animation and proceed more quickly.

Bugfixes

Duelist

• Weapon Vantage: Fixed a bug where the Weapon Vantage passive was not applying the correct STR or DEX bonus in certain weapon matchup scenarios.

• Precision Strike: Fixed a bug that allowed Precision Strike to be blocked, despite the ability being designed to guarantee unblockable hits.

• Ambush: Fixed a bug where Ambush only checked 4 cardinal directions for nearby allies instead of a full 360-degree pattern. Damage calculations now correctly account for allies in all surrounding tiles, and isolated targets receive the intended 2x damage bonus.

• Weapon Triangle: Fixed a bug where the Weapon Triangle passive checked the wrong hand slots, causing incorrect bonus damage application in the sword-axe-lance damage cycle.

Berserker

• Lash Out Accuracy and Damage: Fixed two bugs affecting Lash Out. Accuracy degradation across the three strikes was never applied, and damage compounded across strikes instead of being calculated from the base value independently. Each strike now correctly rolls its own accuracy (100% / 80% / 60%) and calculates damage from the base value.

• Taunting Mock Status Effect: Fixed a bug where Taunting Mock applied Breached instead of Staggered to ranged attackers.

• Taunting Mock Magical Triggers: Fixed a bug where Taunting Mock did not trigger against magical ranged attacks. It now counters both physical and magical ranged damage.

Necromancer

• Raise Intense and Cross Cast AI: Fixed a bug that prevented AI from targeting suspended summons with Raise Intense and Cross Cast. AI Necromancers can now use all three cast variants of Raise on valid targets.

• Wraith AI Profile: Fixed a bug where Wraith summons were assigned the wrong AI profile, causing them to never use any Wraith Arts abilities in combat. Wraiths now use the correct Attacker AI profile.

Undead

• Hibernate Per-Turn Heal: Fixed a bug where Hibernate only healed once on cast instead of healing 25% of max HP each turn while asleep. The ability now matches its intended behavior, healing the unit every turn for the duration of the sleep.

• Hibernate AI: Fixed a bug where the AI would cast Hibernate at full HP. The AI now only uses it when the unit's HP is below 50%.

• Corpse Eater Heal: Fixed a bug where Corpse Eater killed the target but did not heal the caster. It now correctly heals the caster for 50% of the target's max HP.

Priest

• Cleanse and Reanimation: Fixed a bug where Cleanse could remove the Reanimation status from undead units, making it a cheaper alternative to Exorcise for that purpose. Cleanse no longer removes Reanimation.

• Exorcise AI Targeting: Fixed a bug that prevented AI from evaluating active (non-suspended) undead units as valid targets for Exorcise Cross Cast. AI Priests can now properly target undead units with all cast variants.

Rogue

• Target Wounds Damage Cap: Fixed a bug where Target Wounds' damage multiplier could reach 3x. The cap has been corrected to 2x as originally intended.

• Pilfer AI Fail: Fixed an AI bug that caused Pilfer to almost always fail.

Ninja

• Substitution Jutsu on Mounts: Substitution Jutsu can no longer be used while mounted, matching its intended design.

• Substitution Jutsu Teleport: Fixed a bug where the target unit's tile reference was not updated after the position swap, causing the target to remain registered on their old tile.

• Reversal Jutsu Blinded Conversion: Fixed a bug where Reversal Jutsu converted Blinded into Fortified (a VIT buff) instead of Focused (an AGL buff). Blinded is an AGL debuff and now correctly converts to its corresponding AGL buff.

Swordmaster

• Swordmaster AI Profile: Fixed a bug where the Swordmaster class was assigned the Attacker AI profile while all Sword Dance ability trees were built for the Vanguard profile. Swordmasters now use the correct Vanguard AI and can use their Sword Dance abilities in combat.

Dragon Knight

• Thunder Dragon's Rage Status Effect: Fixed a bug where Thunder Dragon's Rage applied Stunned instead of Breached. It now correctly applies Breached as intended.

Necromancy Arc

• Necromancy Arc Cut-Off and Warning: Fixed an issue where the Necromancy Arc cut-off was not triggering correctly after the player reaches the Bravia location. A warning prompt has been added before the cut-off occurs, giving players advance notice before the arc becomes unavailable.

General

• Swordmaster Weapon Spawn: Fixed a bug where the Swordmaster class could spawn with the wrong weapon.

• Disarmed Death: Fixed a bug where the Disarmed status effect prevented a unit from dying when it should have.

• Tome Crash: Fixed a rare bug where the game could crash when a Tome was used.

• Aryls Class Change: Fixed an issue where Aryls was unable to change his class after switching to Knight Commander.

• AI Unarmed Behavior: Fixed an issue where an AI unit would not use Throw Rock or Punch when its weapon was stolen.

• Archive Entry: Fixed an issue where an incorrect entry was unlocked in the Archive based on the Gold & Steel Arc decision.

Game Balance

Ranger

• Ranger Stats: Rebalanced Ranger base stats and growth rates to bring the class in line with other early game classes. Ranger was significantly overrepresented in class usage analytics.

• Head Shot: Nerfed Head Shot's damage factor from 1x to 0.85x, reduced the critical hit bonus from 30% to 25%, and increased the TP cost from 75 to 100 TP.

• Foot Shot: Nerfed Foot Shot's root application. The chance to apply Rooted has been reduced from 50% to 40%, and it now applies 1 stack instead of 2.

Rogue

• Pilfer: Buffed Rogue's Pilfer ability. Thief Accuracy Modifier values have been adjusted across all item categories to improve steal success rates.

Knight

• Hardline Defense: Rebalanced Hardline Defense. Reduced self-inflicted status effect stacks from 3 to 2 and reduced the TP cost from 150 to 100 TP, making the ability less punishing and more accessible.

• Shield Bash: Buffed Shield Bash by reducing its TP cost from 150 to 125 TP.

• Field Sanctuary: Buffed Field Sanctuary by reducing its TP cost from 250 to 200 TP.

Berserker

• Double Edged Self-Damage: Reduced Double Edged’s self-damage factor from 1x to 0.5x base damage, preventing the ability from being lethal to the user at higher levels.

Undead

Swordmaster

• Sword Dance TP Cost Reductions: Reduced TP costs across multiple Sword Dance abilities. Flame Dance reduced from 100 to 75 TP, Frost Dance reduced from 100 to 75 TP, and Demon Dance reduced from 200 to 125 TP.

General

• Attack Accuracy: Increased accuracy of attacks across the board, with melee units receiving an additional accuracy bonus.

• Magic Accuracy Formula: Implemented a separate accuracy formula for magic attacks, decoupling mages from DEX.

• Unit Durability: Increased the durability of units.

• Wait Time Rebalance: Adjusted Wait Time (WT) values to favor melee units.
