Greetings, fellow dice enthusiasts!
I sincerely hope you enjoyed Zaria, and what better opportunity to dive back in than with a small content update?
WHAT'S NEW, IN SHORT:
- The Caretaker, a new enemy found only in 3-star battles.
- CONTRACTS+ mode, with three contracts based on the three pre-existing bosses, but much harder.
- Six new spells (many of which have been reworked), three new bullets, and two new status effects.
- Particle effects (very basic ones) during combat.
Overall, I designed this update to keep the fun going, and especially to reorganize Milena's spells based on the initial feedback I received. I tried to give her a greater diversity of builds, and I hope this will be noticeable while playing.
