Cards

Sakuya:

Dazzling Dash Upgraded cost increased:2W→2WW。

Koishi:

Added several new cards.

Embryo's Dream and Ancestral Dreams now trigger the first Follow-Up card to be discarded by the Dream effect. Their values have been adjusted to compensate.

The amount of Inspiration needed to enter Fugue is now 4. Epiphany Upgraded cost increased: 1→2. Kokoro, Awoken Persona no longer reduces cost on Upgrade, Upgraded base Unity and Fugue Active Skill cost increased, 5→6.

Talk Through the Hat cost loosened, G→1,loses Exile on Upgrade. Hartmann's Youkai Girl now plays the top card of the draw pile on use, and the auto-play effect happens before the draw step. Embers of Love reworked, now places a high-cost card on the top of the draw pile. Unleashed Potential reworked, now allows a card from the draw pile to be played twice.

Bugfixes

Fixed Emotional Surge spawned from Imaginary Danmaku not hitting twice. Additionaly, relaxed conditional effects so they can trigger either when the card is played or the effect is resolved.

"Fantasy Seal -Silence-" now properly triggers exhibits like Roukanken.

Embrace the Darkness worked by setting the base cost of the card to 0 and didn't account for temporary cost increases. Now it takes them into account. e.g.: Left-Fan copying a 0 cost card will set its cost to 1, and Embrace the Darkness can now set that copy's cost to 0.

Modder Relevant Notes

Follow-Up cards now support the "play twice" parameter. Cards can be called as Follow-Ups from most areas in the stack.(Except for PlayArea).
