This update focuses on fixing some common gripes, Cleric adjustments, and several combat & UI fixes.
Important: Save games from previous versions are no longer compatible with this update.
Balance
Monsters with very high Initiative now buff on turn 1 instead of immediately frontloading damage. (Early turns should feel less “oops you’re dead” and more tactical.)
Cleric starting relic now reduces Max HP by 50% (percentage-based) instead of a flat value. (This should make him much more playable on higher ASCENSION levels and also make him a bit more easier in early game)
EXPOSED no longer requires MARKED to increase damage (making it more universally usable).
SHARPSHOOTER now checks for MARKED again (not EXPOSED).
Starting event has a few more impactful choices.
Reduced Initiative reduction from Spicy Fruit and Exotic Fruit.
Relics can no longer reduce Initiative below 1.
Fixes & Changes
Completed runs are now removed from save files.
DODGE now correctly prevents damage from OPPORTUNITY SPOTTED / EXPOSED.
Fixed an issue where a hero could heal from 0 HP and softlock the run.
Fixed UNDECISIVE sometimes not selecting a new intent (CHESHIRE enemy).
Fixed treasure chest UI closing too quickly after boss fights.
Fixed coin counter disappearing too fast in starting fights.
Added additional logging to help catch desyncs.
Content
Added additional card art (especially for the Cleric).
Renamed several Cleric cards to better match their theme.
MISERY renamed to PENANCE.
As always — keep the feedback coming. Balance is a moving target, and your runs help us tune it 🙌
