June Update: The Valiants!

Developer Note:

Quite a bit went into this monthly update. The remaining large illustrations were completed, as well as a few new characters. "The Valiants!" bring their theming to the Stadium's "Nature Towers", with each one being unlocked on floor 200.

Kiara is also introduced, who can be obtained by upgrading the Castle to Tier 7 (a Princess demands only the best!).

I focused on fleshing out Waifu Survivor, and also was able to make a "Quest" version with objectives as well. Similarly, some of the Quests were adjusted with some gameplay improvements and should be more fun.

Changes:

• AdjustedWaifu DungeonAdjusted player's weapon position
• FixedWaifu SurvivorFixed weapon movement glitching
• FixedWaifu SurvivorFixed "Destroy All Enemies!" wave not completing when no enemies
• FixedWaifu FishingFixed Fishing Journal not saving properly

• Fixed backup not working as intended

• UR's obtained on weekday Nature Banners will have their Nature changed to match the banner. As of this update, this is currently the only method to force-change a Waifu's Nature.

• Changed Crystal Shop refresh to daily instead of Monthly; Medkits will restock to 5 per day instead of 50 per month.

• Quest Adoption: Add "Cat Raid!" when no matches and cats are filling the board

• There is no "shop" between waves, instead power-ups are found in the locked chests. Collect keys dropped from enemies, can hold more than 1 at a time.

• Better error.log handling; doesn't clear if didn't exit cleanly last time (it'll clear on next run if clean exit though)

• Skill: "Rally", Lava-nature, increases Squad's ATK at expense of caster's DEF (AOE version of "Offensive")

• Skill: "Royal Order", same as "Rally", but does not expire as it is a special skill.

• Added 4x speed multiplier to battles that support it

• AddedWaifu DungeonAdded behavior "AI" to the non-controlled Waifus in the squad. They will closely follow the player and attack enemies that come close. They only have 5 health each though, so use them wisely!
