Melovar's Tale changes
Thank you all for enjoying and playing the game as I can see the leaderboard entries are filling and some have reached the peaks already! However, now with this update, you will not face an easy challenge!
⚔️ Ascended Boss Rebalancing — Patch Notes
🔑 Global Highlights
| Change | Summary |
| Health Pools | Every Ascended boss received a significant HP increase. |
| Scaling Coverage | Dozens of previously flat (non-scaling) effects now scale over time. |
| Summon Power | Summon HP/Damage multipliers standardised to 0.5× (up from 0.4×) for some bosses. |
| Late-Game Pressure | New afflict, dispel, and stun scaling effects added to punish stalling battles. |
🐉 Ascended Riselduin, Void Dragon
HP: 370 → 468 (+26%)
| Move | Change |
| Attack (10) | Scaling 0 → 5 / 5 turns — no longer flat damage |
| Attack (16) | Scaling 0 → 2 / 5 turns — no longer flat damage |
| Attack (20) | Scaling 5 → 10 / 5 turns |
| Thorns (4) | 🆕 Now scales +1 / 5 turns |
| Ablaze (5) | 🆕 Now scales +2 / 5 turns |
| Afflict | 🆕 Now scales +1 / 5 turns |
| Defend (10) | Scaling 3 → 5 / 4 turns |
| Heal (15) | Scaling 2 → 3 / 4 turns |
| Fortified | Value 5 → 4 |
| Heavy Attack (25) | 🆕 Now scales +5 / 4 turns |
| Summons | HP/Dmg multiplier 0.4× → 0.5× |
| Phase Transition | 🆕 Gains Negate (1) on phase change |
💀 Ascended Ezekiel, Void Lich Emperor
HP: 380 → 585 (+54%)
| Move | Change |
| Lifesteal Attack | Damage 13 → 23 (+77%) |
| Lifesteal (self) | Value 5 → 4, frequency slowed 5 → 10 turns |
| Heavy Attack | Damage 18 → 28 (+56%) |
| Vulnerable (2) | 🆕 Now scales +1 / 10 turns |
| Weak (2) | 🆕 Now scales +1 / 10 turns |
| Defend (25) | Scaling 2 → 3 / 5 turns |
| Power Up move | 🆕 Added Afflict effect (scaling +1 / 5 turns) |
| Heal (20) | ❌ Removed — replaced with Regen buff (8), scaling +2 / 5 turns (You can't prep too much!) |
| Might (5) | Scaling 3 → 2 / 5 turns |
| Cleanse | Value 3 → 5, 🆕 now scales +2 / 5 turns |
IMPORTANT
Ezekiel's heal was converted from a burst heal to a Regen buff, making it dispellable but persistent. Combined with the +77% attack damage, he's far more threatening offensively.
👑 Ascended Draefus, Void Blood King
HP: 495 → 999 (+102%)
| Move | Change |
| Summon (Ezekiel) | HP/Dmg multiplier 0.4× → 0.5× |
| Attack (10 → 12) | Base damage +20% |
| Might buff (5) | 🆕 Now scales +2 / 5 turns |
| Soul Debt Attack | 🆕 Added Dispel effect (removes 4 buffs, 2 targets) |
| Attack (8) | Scaling frequency 6 → 5 turns (slightly faster) |
| Phase 1 Transition | Forcefield value 1 → 2 |
| Phase 2 Transition | Summons now use 0.5× HP/Dmg multipliers (previously unset) |
CAUTION
Draefus now has 999 HP — the highest in the game. The new Dispel on his Soul Debt move, strips player buffs, and his summons are 25% stronger. This is the real Blood Lord!
🐺 Ascended Frostfang, Void Devourer
HP: 320 → 420 (+31%)
| Move | Change |
| Shock debuff | Scaling frequency 8 → 4 turns (twice as fast) |
| Attack (15) | Scaling frequency 3 → 4 turns (slightly slower) |
| Quad-attack (4×4) | Scaling 1 → 2 / 5 turns on all 4 hits |
| Defend | Value 24 → 22, 🆕 now scales +3 / 5 turns |
| Impenetrable (4) | 🆕 Now scales +1 / 5 turns |
| Heal (12) | 🆕 Now scales +2 / 5 turns |
| Heavy Attack | Value 16 → 18, 🆕 now scales +6 / 5 turns |
WARNING
Frostfang's Shock now ramps twice as fast, and the quad attack scales harder. The previously flat defensive heal and impenetrable now scale, making him increasingly tanky in extended fights.
🐍 Ascended Parallax, Void Hydra Sovereign
HP: 400 → 760 (+90%)
| Move | Change |
| Head 1 Attack | Value 10 → 8, scaling 5 → 8 / 3 turns |
| Head 2 Double Attack | Each hit 3 → 6 (+100%) |
| Head 3 Triple Attack | Each hit 4 → 8 (+100%), scaling 2 → 3 / 3 turns |
| Regen (passive) | Value 25 → 20 |
| Forcefield (1) | 🆕 Now scales +1 / 5 turns |
| Negate (1) | 🆕 Now scales +1 / 5 turns |
| Defend (16) | Scaling 2 → 4 / 5 turns |
| Stun (1) | 🆕 Now scales +1 / 10 turns |
IMPORTANT
Parallax's multi-head attacks are significantly deadlier (Head 2 doubled, Head 3 doubled with faster scaling). Combined with 90% more HP and scaling Forcefield/Negate, this boss punishes slow strategies harder.
⚔️ Ascended Zoros, Void Blade Archon
HP: 340 → 673 (+98%)
| Move | Change |
| Twin Blade Attack (×2) | Each hit 5 → 8 (+60%), scaling 5 → 8 / 4 turns |
NOTE
Zoros received a near-doubling of HP and a significant boost to his signature twin blade attacks. Base damage per swing up 60% with 60% faster scaling. Melovar's mentor is no longer messing around!
🗡️ Ascended Sword of Draefus, Void Executioner
HP: 160 → 275 (+72%)
| Move | Change |
| Double Attack | Each hit 10 → 7, 🆕 now scales +2 / 4 turns |
| Might buff | Value 4 → 3 |
| Venom debuff | Value 4 → 5, 🆕 now scales +1 / 4 turns |
| Attack (10) | Scaling 3 → 4 / 4 turns |
| Curse (Phantom Pain) | 🆕 Now scales +1 / 8 turns |
NOTE
The Sword's base double-attack was lowered but now scales — hitting harder over time. Venom ramps faster and the curse infliction can now double up in very long fights.
🛡️ Ascended Shield of Draefus, Void Bulwark
HP: 210 → 315 (+50%)
| Move | Change |
| Defend | Value 18 → 20 |
| Thorns (4) | 🆕 Now scales +2 / 8 turns |
| Attack | Value 12 → 10 |
| Fortified (3) | 🆕 Now targets all allies, scales +1 / 4 turns |
IMPORTANT
The Shield's Fortified buff now applies to all allies instead of just self — a major buff when paired alongside Draefus or the Sword. Attack was slightly reduced as a trade-off.

| Riselduin, Void Dragon | 370 | 468 | +26% |
