Hey everyone! After taking some time to regroup and polish things up, we’re back this week with another update for Apokerlypse!
On top of our weekly bug-killing routine, we've also rolled out some balance tweaks for skills and a variety of optimizations:

Ghost Blade-Epic
End Combo: Add 1 Satan Jr.
Preparation-Epic
Start Combo: The Mana cost of 1 random skill is reduced by 2 for this turn
Kira the Killer-Epic

Fly on the Wall-Epic
Battle Start: If a player holds 4 or more cards of the same card value, enchant them with Frost then reveal them
Improvements
Optimization for Low-End PCs
We’ve added new Anti-Aliasing (AA) options in the settings menu. If you’re playing on a lower-spec machine or experiencing frame drops, we recommend setting AA to "Low" or "Off" to significantly boost your FPS.
Also, we've improved cursor movement.
Balance Tweaks
Here is the professional, "Steam-style" translation for your balance notes. I have used standard industry shorthand (e.g., "Cost", "Buff", and "->") to ensure it reads like an official patch log.
