This update brings a brand new relic set that should be familiar to the old hunters, including 6 relics and 1 new item...to be thrown away.
Aside from that, we overhauled some content to provide you new feelings: heard feedbacks about character talents and weapons not distinctive enough, several talents now have new passive effect on certain characters, while high tier posion weapons eventually got new moveset properties after the fire ones!
Another common complain is that enemies attack too fast, especially for new players. We slow down the attack foreswing of series of foes, you also get a tiny reminder when they spot the heroine and a bit more breathing space before their engaging. Well, if you consider it too easy & slow, try Demonic difficulty and trial tokens!
Much more changes & fixes are listed below, some of them not being highlighted but no minor, are likely to impact your run strategy.
Finally, by our artist 不动明王(Acalanatha, oh yeah that's also the name of a Boss), all eneimes' portrait in the Bestiary! You can find more details from this new angle. Want more of not only monsters, but our heroines and npcs? Then you shall know we're preparing for the artbook DLC.
Aftering times of (official) leaks in the community, the new Chapter is coming, and we're not that far from 1.0!
Let us know what you think on Steam Community & Discord!
