Bug Fixes and Balancing - v1.0.177

Hey Oracles,

This patch took a little longer than expected to be released, because we got really tired from the first 2 weeks after release. So we needed to work slower so we could rest a little bit. 😴 But we didn't stop working, we focused on bug fixes and balancing. 🐞💪

Based on feedback, Cellarius is feeling too vulnerable on early game, specially on higher anomalies. 😭 So we tried to rework Cellarius starter dice to give him more survivability. 💪

Next step is trying to balance actions, blessings, oracles and enemies that are more urgent based on player feedback. Also we will work on controller support improvements (could take a while to be developed) and QoL.
