- Crashing Talon applies a debuff similar to Decay, which increases subsequent attacks to deal 1.5x more damage to the afflicted enemy
- Yselle's Fortitude applies to buff to one ally that increases Power by 1.5x and grants 100% Critical Hit Rate for the current turn
- White Boundary has been remade and touched up to be a little less confusing
- 5 new battles have been added to smooth out the difficulty curve leading up to Stone Hat
- Iyovine has been buffed
- Valka has been buffed
- Fixed a bunch of obvious bugs
The new enemies have been added to the White Boundary to ensure that players understand how the corrosive mechanic and Rock Hammer synergize, as well as indicate that the Rock Hammer, despite doing minimal damage, has a practical strategic use.
Stalkers will be scattered across the game, functioning as both a minor combat tutorial and resupply of sorts. Fought correctly, they hint at how to defeat upcoming enemies, as well as provide resources upon their death. These resources range from ammunition and Max HP buffs, to powerful single-use items.
Items have been slightly redone so that they no longer cost a turn. The new items have a diverse range of familiar functions, opening interesting attack strings otherwise impossible without using them. They are not necessary to complete the game, but will assist struggling players with more difficult encounters, and allow for more creative strategies across the different subroutes.
Next major build slated for August 8.
