changedNew players will now start with Stellar Huntress as their default battle spirit.
changedAs a ranged-attack battle spirit, Stellar Huntress gives you more breathing room against the Chapter 1 boss — better positioning, safer distance, higher margin for error. It's a much friendlier starting experience for those first few runs.
changedThis is the big one. We've adjusted the boss to actually feel like a proper first chapter encounter.
changedBut in the full release, stage order will be randomized and player-driven. So don't be surprised if the boss makes a mean comeback in a later run 😏

Hello, players

Since Chapter2 of Golden Swirl launched, we've been hearing a lot from you — and one piece of feedback came through loud and clear

"Chapter 2 looks awesome! But we can't even get there because the Chapter 1 boss is way too tough!"

We took a good, hard look at the situation. The Boss of Chapter1 has already been nerfed twice, and yet… it's still gatekeeping way too many players. So this time, we're making two key changes to get more of you past that first hurdle. 🛠️

① Default Battle Spirit Switched to Stellar Huntress✨

New players will now start with Stellar Huntress as their default battle spirit.

As a ranged-attack battle spirit, Stellar Huntress gives you more breathing room against the Chapter 1 boss — better positioning, safer distance, higher margin for error. It's a much friendlier starting experience for those first few runs.

② Chapter 1 Boss Nerf 👇

This is the big one. We've adjusted the boss to actually feel like a proper first chapter encounter.

But in the full release, stage order will be randomized and player-driven. So don't be surprised if the boss makes a mean comeback in a later run 😏

That's it for this update!

Hope you enjoy the smoother early-game experience. As always, if you run into any issues or have thoughts to share, don't hesitate to reach out.

Happy hunting!
