• -We're going to continue to tweak and balance characters during combat, and pretty much anything battle related.

• -BUGS BUGS BUGS BUGS Please keep us informed on the steam forums, in our Discord, or even just PM us on Twitter and tell us about anything you find! We love hearing all about the bugs you discover, and it always helps us to make the game as good as we can make it.
