General Updates

• AddedRewards Screen Skip ButtonAdded a Skip Button to the Rewards Screen, allowing players to bypass the rewards animation and proceed more quickly.

Bugfixes

Duelist

• FixedWeapon VantageFixed a bug where the Weapon Vantage passive was not applying the correct STR or DEX bonus in certain weapon matchup scenarios.
• FixedPrecision StrikeFixed a bug that allowed Precision Strike to be blocked, despite the ability being designed to guarantee unblockable hits.
• FixedAmbushFixed a bug where Ambush only checked 4 cardinal directions for nearby allies instead of a full 360-degree pattern. Damage calculations now correctly account for allies in all surrounding tiles, and isolated targets receive the intended 2x damage bonus.
• FixedWeapon TriangleFixed a bug where the Weapon Triangle passive checked the wrong hand slots, causing incorrect bonus damage application in the sword-axe-lance damage cycle.

Berserker

• FixedLash Out Accuracy and DamageFixed two bugs affecting Lash Out. Accuracy degradation across the three strikes was never applied, and damage compounded across strikes instead of being calculated from the base value independently. Each strike now correctly rolls its own accuracy (100% / 80% / 60%) and calculates damage from the base value.
• FixedTaunting Mock Status EffectFixed a bug where Taunting Mock applied Breached instead of Staggered to ranged attackers.
• FixedTaunting Mock Magical TriggersFixed a bug where Taunting Mock did not trigger against magical ranged attacks. It now counters both physical and magical ranged damage.

Necromancer

• FixedRaise Intense and Cross Cast AIFixed a bug that prevented AI from targeting suspended summons with Raise Intense and Cross Cast. AI Necromancers can now use all three cast variants of Raise on valid targets.
• FixedWraith AI ProfileFixed a bug where Wraith summons were assigned the wrong AI profile, causing them to never use any Wraith Arts abilities in combat. Wraiths now use the correct Attacker AI profile.

Undead

• FixedHibernate Per-Turn HealFixed a bug where Hibernate only healed once on cast instead of healing 25% of max HP each turn while asleep. The ability now matches its intended behavior, healing the unit every turn for the duration of the sleep.
• FixedHibernate AIFixed a bug where the AI would cast Hibernate at full HP. The AI now only uses it when the unit's HP is below 50%.
• FixedCorpse Eater HealFixed a bug where Corpse Eater killed the target but did not heal the caster. It now correctly heals the caster for 50% of the target's max HP.

Priest

• FixedCleanse and ReanimationFixed a bug where Cleanse could remove the Reanimation status from undead units, making it a cheaper alternative to Exorcise for that purpose. Cleanse no longer removes Reanimation.
• FixedExorcise AI TargetingFixed a bug that prevented AI from evaluating active (non-suspended) undead units as valid targets for Exorcise Cross Cast. AI Priests can now properly target undead units with all cast variants.

Rogue

• FixedTarget Wounds Damage CapFixed a bug where Target Wounds' damage multiplier could reach 3x. The cap has been corrected to 2x as originally intended.
• FixedPilfer AI FailFixed an AI bug that caused Pilfer to almost always fail.

Ninja

• Substitution Jutsu on Mounts: Substitution Jutsu can no longer be used while mounted, matching its intended design.

• AdjustedSubstitution Jutsu TeleportFixed a bug where the target unit's tile reference was not updated after the position swap, causing the target to remain registered on their old tile.
• FixedReversal Jutsu Blinded ConversionFixed a bug where Reversal Jutsu converted Blinded into Fortified (a VIT buff) instead of Focused (an AGL buff). Blinded is an AGL debuff and now correctly converts to its corresponding AGL buff.

Swordmaster

• FixedSwordmaster AI ProfileFixed a bug where the Swordmaster class was assigned the Attacker AI profile while all Sword Dance ability trees were built for the Vanguard profile. Swordmasters now use the correct Vanguard AI and can use their Sword Dance abilities in combat.

Dragon Knight

• FixedThunder Dragon's Rage Status EffectFixed a bug where Thunder Dragon's Rage applied Stunned instead of Breached. It now correctly applies Breached as intended.

Necromancy Arc

• AddedNecromancy Arc Cut-Off and WarningFixed an issue where the Necromancy Arc cut-off was not triggering correctly after the player reaches the Bravia location. A warning prompt has been added before the cut-off occurs, giving players advance notice before the arc becomes unavailable.

General

• FixedSwordmaster Weapon SpawnFixed a bug where the Swordmaster class could spawn with the wrong weapon.
• FixedDisarmed DeathFixed a bug where the Disarmed status effect prevented a unit from dying when it should have.
• FixedTome CrashFixed a rare bug where the game could crash when a Tome was used.
• FixedAryls Class ChangeFixed an issue where Aryls was unable to change his class after switching to Knight Commander.
• FixedAI Unarmed BehaviorFixed an issue where an AI unit would not use Throw Rock or Punch when its weapon was stolen.
• FixedArchive EntryFixed an issue where an incorrect entry was unlocked in the Archive based on the Gold & Steel Arc decision.
