- Fixed one-hit killer mob attacks along with attacks that could take out your entire squad with one move.
- Fixed healing that wouldn't occur at the end of chapters (you're supposed to recover your party's health each chapter)
- Fixed general clipping issues with tiles in some maps
- Pruned unused plugins
As always, please notify me of any bugs you encounter during your play at the official discord!
