Hey everyone,
Thanks for standing by as we worked on our latest patch. Patch 1.4 is a big one that has some fundamental changes, a new starting experience, and squashing of a few pesky bugs. We’ve reimagined the onboarding process for both new and returning players to make starting your journey smoother and more exciting!
Please let us know your thoughts either in the Discussion section here on Steam or over in our Discord!
Changes
- You can now drag cards around and reorder them in your hand during selection

Bug Fixes
- Fixed an issue where you could inspect invisible units
- Resolved a related issue where tooltips appear when hovering over statuses that also appear on invisible units

- Fixed movement points UI of the player character remaining blank after the stun effect wears off in combat
