Version 0.13.1

Note from the developers: Patch 0.13.1 goes light on balancing. We wanted to observe the addition of Albuera content in the game as a whole before making changes to it. We're also considering reworking some of the heroes to give them more individualized identities and make them more playable. For now, however, we've focused on bug fixes and correcting undesired behaviors.

1. Classes and Heroes

General

We've made a simple correction to the Albuera spells so that they all follow the same logic. These spells fall under the scope of our approach to strengthening magic, and we'll be paying close attention to their power between now and version 0.14.

• The Explosion/Peat/Hail/Rebound effects of Albueran spells are now properly affected by the ALBUERAN MAGIC effect.

1.1. Cra

1.1.1. Piven Bow

This hero had increased in power but was still weak compared to the other Cras. We're improving their basic passive to make them more versatile. The improvement increases damage, Water aura healing, and the power of companions' auras.

Base passive:

• Old effect: When your hero releases a DART AURA: Inflicts 60% of their ATTACK on the target.
• New effect: When your hero releases a DART AURA: Inflicts 60% of their ATTACK on the target. 30% of your ATTACK bonus is converted into an AURA BONUS.

1.2. Sram

1.2.1 Surokan Shiv

This hero was too powerful in version 0.13. We've lowered their power slightly.

Hero Skill:
Surokan Mastery:

1. Old effect: When you trigger CONSPIRACY: +60% to your TRAP DAMAGE for the turn.
2. New effect: When you trigger CONSPIRACY: +50% to your TRAP DAMAGE for the turn.

1.3. Xelor

1.3.1. Pramium Catalyst

This hero had received major power additions plus quality of life improvements, which pushed them to the top of the meta. Consequently, we're lowering their power to rebalance them.

Hero Skill:
Pramium Recycling:

• Old effect: When you build a Sinistro: +2 gauges in the same element as the Sinistro.
• New effect: When you build a Sinistro: +1 gauge in the same element as the Sinistro.

2. Items
