Major) Update 0.5.0

Major Updates

• Unit 'Shiranui Flare' Remake

  
  • "The early unit 'Shiranui Flare' has been remade. Flare now attacks monsters with fire magic instead of a bow and has powerful area attack and focused attack abilities. If you had upgraded Flare in the previous version, your upgrade stats will be retained." [] "The temporary default unit Korone, which was provided due to Flare's absence, will now be reverted to a purchasable unit in the shop. However, players who received Korone as a default unit or purchased her in the shop will still have her unlocked."

• Unit 'Usada Pekora' Rework

  "Some patterns of Pekora have been changed. The existing 'New Food Addition!' pattern will now unlock at upgrade 2, and the Golden Carrot buff will be removed. Instead, a new pattern 'Big Carrot Explosion' will be added at upgrade 3, allowing for massive area damage to monsters and powerful buffs to units."
  • The 'New Food Added!' pattern for Usada Pekora now will unlock at upgrade 2.
  • The Golden Carrot buff in the 'New Food Added!' pattern will be removed.

• New Skins 'Watson (No coat)' and 'Calliope (PartyDress)' Added

  
  • "Two new skins, 'Watson (No coat)' and 'Calliope (PartyDress)', have been added. They can be obtained through the shop or with a certain probability from random boxes."

• Stage Simplification (Round 5 Removal)

  • "As new bosses and stages have been added, the playtime has increased significantly compared to the early stages. Therefore, we have removed Round 5 from all stages to allow for quicker stage completion."
