Gameplay • Chaos Hardcore: Removed incorrect save file prompts and updated mode description to clarify no saving is allowed • Oni: Now correctly inherits Tower Lord's first ability for the match (wasn't getting an ability before). • Tutorial Descriptions: Updated to clarify they're best viewed after playing at least one match

Interface • Ability Buttons: Active ability border now disappears on mouseover to match opponent behavior • Enchantment Targeting: Improved clarity when using targeting abilities by hiding conflicting target information whenever using Character Abilities that select a target(s) (Brute, Koross, etc.).
