  • The Mangler's Thresher attack does not benefit from boosted attack rolls while under Magnus's Iron Aggression.
  • Units sometimes will show incorrect facing after moving diagonally or hit with a Free Strike.
  • Putting focus into Stationary Units will remove the Frozen visual effect, even if the Stationary Effect is not yet shaken.
  • Using Explosivo on Gunmages causes all their runeshots to apply their effects to all units hit in the AOE.
