Patch Notes

Pyreborne Changes

1. Fenix killing himself with activated ability will now trigger Conjure effects.

Luna Coven Changes

1. Fixed Dusk Mantle not properly enabling Moon mechanics when acquired when playing clans other than Luna Coven.

2. Fixed Heavenfall doing only 60 damage instead of 80 in certain cases.

Underlegion Changes

1. Fixed Emot Tome incorrectly copying cost bonus from Ancient Roots onto its Ephemeral duplicate card.

2. Unearth Treasure wording changed from "Draw a random spell from your consume pile..." >>> "Return a random spell from your consume pile..." due to 'draw' being inaccurate to what the card is actually doing.

3. Fixed an issue with Funguy incorrectly resetting equipment cooldowns when adding Troop stacks.

Clanless Changes

1. Titanite no longer reduces piercing damage.

2. Changed Dominion Titan's Resolve effect to skip over units with Stasis instead of failing against them.

3. Changed interaction between Stasis and cards with Spawn to still increase Troop size.

4. Changed interaction between Stasis and Unstable so that units in Stasis will not be killed by Unstable since they're not supposed to take damage.

5. Changed interaction between Stasis and Captain's Halo / Martyr's Signet so they will skip over units in Stasis who can't technically be "targeted" by the artifacts, and will instead apply their bonus to the next unit in line.

6. Made Rooms no longer apply direct bonuses to units in Stasis to resolve inconsistency where some rooms were applying bonuses and some weren't, and to better match behavior in comparison to AOE spells and abilities that also omit Stasis units.

7. Fixed bug where cards that would transfer statuses like Balmabello would include Stasis units in their transfer.

8. Fixed Split Anvil artifact not applying if it is acquired before Ancient Roots artifact.

9. Made Entropic Growth cards resolve their upgrades simultaneously, speeding up the end of turn animation.

10. Fixed Frontload mutator saying it will add +20 ember next turn, even though the ember was already added before the deployment phase.

11. Made Twinstone remove itself when its Spellchain trait is removed, to make the remaining card text and tooltips less confusing on the copied card.

General Bug Fixes & Text Clarification

1. Fixed Echo Vault not correctly previewing unit Incant effects for its recast spell.

2. Fixed bug where combining the Graft event and Red Crown events could lead to a unit having two equipment on at once.

3. Fixed an Overgrowth Carapace bug allowing upgrade to apply to a unit's card when the spawned unit was no longer eligible.

4. Fixed cards that copy themselves which are then upgraded with Spellchain causing copies to go to the discard pile with Ephemeral applied to them.

5. Fixed some artifacts not working correctly in Endless Mode.

6. Fixed Purified Soul Shard artifact and Savage Shackles blight modifying combined unit card cost incorrectly.

7. Fixed a bug with X cost spells upgraded with Holystone when recast by Echo Vault.

8. Fixed Titan of Dominion floating above floor when viewed from floor below.

9. Fixed bug where several passive abilities would not function while a unit is in Stasis.

10. Fixed undiscovered enemy silhouette in logbook not being shown for multi-variant enemies.

11. Removed run type counter stats from end run comparison/highlight. No more new records for doing one more run than before. This information is still in the logbook though.

12. Added missing sounds for some spells, status effects, and equipment.

13. Fixed a few glitches in event art where objects weren't sorting correctly.

14. Fixed boss trials sometimes showing duplicate trigger tooltips.

15. Updated Piercing tooltip to reflect it also ignores Titanskin.

16. Fixed Historian event not telling Russian players what artifact they will lose in the first event option.

17. Fixed Dimensional Portal title label overflowing outside the box in Russian.

18. Integrated a number of Chinese, Russian, and German text suggestions.

19. Fixed missing artist attribution on a few cards.
