Development Progress Update

Week 18

This Week's Development Progress

This week, we introduced the new Food currency system, added the Lanshield recruitment dungeon, updated the Shop and Main Story gameplay, and adjusted the Spearman skill tree and Main Story Boss balance. We also fixed multiple issues related to battle freezes, incorrect value displays, and performance stuttering, while continuing to improve audio, visual assets, and localization for a better overall gameplay experience.

Content Additions & Adjustments

New Currency: Food

• Added a new currency: Food. Entering battle now consumes Food based on the number of characters deployed on each map. The more characters deployed, the more Food is consumed. Food can be obtained from Food Dungeons, and characters entering these dungeons do not consume Food.

• Players now start each run with 64 Food.

• The first character deployed on each map consumes no Food. Each additional deployed character consumes 1 extra Food.

• Food Dungeon (P): Rewards 32 Food.

• Food Dungeons (A/B/C/S): The first surviving character receives the base reward of 4/8/16/32 Food respectively. Each additional surviving character halves the reward, with a minimum reward of 1 Food.

• Clicking the Food icon displays the Food cost for each map.

New Recruitable Hero in Recruitment II

• Added the new recruitable hero Lanshield to the Recruitment II dungeon.

• Lanshield: An Elven Shieldguard and a wind-element frontline dodge tank. She relies on Dodge to evade enemy attacks, grants powerful team-wide survivability after taking multiple hits, and counterattacks with AoE damage and life-stealing true damage whenever she successfully dodges. She excels as a frontline defender built around the Dodge mechanic.

Shop Changes

• The Shop now refreshes only 2 random characters per run.
