Pixelords Demo Update (v0.1.6)

Here are the patch notes for v0.1.6.

Developer's Note

Hello.

This 0.1.6 patch includes a wide range of changes. Along with various bug fixes and UI improvements, the most significant update is the unit balance overhaul.

Previously, 3-cost unit skills didn't feel impactful enough to change the flow of battle, and their effects were underwhelming, making it difficult to deliver an exciting combat experience.

As a result, we rebalanced all 35 units from the ground up. All unit stats have been adjusted, and 3-cost unit skills in particular have been reworked to have a greater impact on battles. Additionally, 2-cost unit OnHit effects have been strengthened compared to before.

Trial mode blessing effects have also been adjusted. We felt that acquiring blessings previously didn't provide a noticeable sense of power growth, so we've significantly strengthened their effects across the board.

Lastly, Expedition chapter layouts have been changed in this patch. As a result, a soft reset of Expedition data will be applied for all users. Please keep this in mind when playing.
