Version 1.1.14

Performance Improvements

• We have overhauled how the game works behind the scenes to improve asset and memory management. This should resolve the slow startup time many are experiencing when running the game, as well as allow lower-end PCs to run the game with reduced memory requirements.
  
• We have also focused on making the file size smaller, by making our assets packing more efficient and removing some clutter. These changes significantly reduce the install size of the game.
  

QOL Improvements

• Blessings that contribute to a Synergy will display a symbol on them when offered (unless you have never picked this blessing before), allowing you to view any potential synergies that can be unlocked if this blessing is picked. You can also view this information on while in each pirit’s Blessing List in the Codex by selecting a specific blessing.
  
• Added a “Clear Selected Binding” option to the control rebinding menu.
  
• Blessings you currently have will be marked in the main Blessing List (press interact when a spirit is selected in the Codex). Previously, blessings were only marked in the requirements panel of this sub-menu.
  
• Added an additional backup save feature that can restore save data when it gets corrupted due to a power-outage or other similar issues.
  
• Removed the low health screen-tint effect when browsing certain menus.

Version 0.15.05 - Perennial Tactics

New Challenge:

• A challenge in which all regional bosses are powered-up. They have slightly more health and deal slightly more damage, but most importantly their attack patterns are harder to avoid and they can perform brand new attacks.
  

Balance Changes

• Statues of Harmony will offer blessings with a minimum rarity of Rare, if they are not Synergy blessings. Rarity increasing effect also apply (for example: Winter’s Verity).
  
• Intangible Will: Dodge chance reduced from 12/16/20% to 10/14/18%.
  
• Lucid Dream: Chance increased from 50% to 100%.
  
• Constellation: Critical Damage per Gem changed from 6/8/10% to 4/6/8%. Upgrading this blessing with Luminous Gems is less potent (from 3% per gem to 2%)
  
• Nova Strike: Critical Chance changed from 15/25/35% to 20/25/30%.
  

• Relic bonus modifiers bonuses range increased: Attack Damage (from 5-20% to 10-30%), Dash Damage (from 40-60% to 60-90%).
  
• The price of Rerolling modifiers at the Relic Tinkerer was reduced from 20,40,60,80,100 to 10,20,30,40,50.
  
• Golden Emblem of Vigor: Max Health increased by 5 for all levels.
  

• Battle Hammer-Axe: Up Attack has slightly higher vertical range.
  
• Astral Cord Bow (alternate): You can not be hit-out of the Neutral Attack detonation animation anymore.

Flame Tornado Attack (where he spawns on top of you and creates an AOE) has additional startup frames.
  
• Tasmos, Head of the Order: Phase-shift attack projectiles tweaked to prevent corners as being completely safe during most of the attack.
  

• You can now dash-cancel during active frames of powerful attacks that usually lock you into the animation if you are trying to Dash under the effects of Hit-Stop. To those unaware, this is a “hidden” mechanic that slightly pauses the attacker and target during certain attacks. This should make dashing to avoid damage more responsive while not sacrificing too much of the mechanical skill incorporated into managing your offense and defense. Additionally, some attacks can be dashed during their active frames regardless of hit-stop.
  
• Slightly increased the default invincibility duration after getting hit.
  
• The Poised status effect has been slightly nerfed - it now reduces 20% incoming damage instead of 25%. Sharbora Blessings already boast a high power level with the damage bonuses of the Attacks and Launchers, combined with other defensive blessings from the pool and the innate super-armor of the effect it proved to be a bit too powerful.
  
• Mask of Yamphas: Wavedashing while your Dash is on cooldown will not trigger invincibility anymore. Damage bonus after Wavedashing increased from 30/35/40/45/50% to 40/45/50/55/60%

• The Accuracy Minor Enchantment’s Sweet Spot damage was increased from 20/40/60% to 25%/50%/75%.
