Other Features

• Scrolls of Regret: disassembling certain companion contracts gives Scrolls of Regrets. Players can now refund skill tree points using these scrolls.
• Item Locking: Secure your gear against unwanted disassembling or enchanting.
• Monsters' item drops are now visually represented on the battlefield.
• Auto-Battle behavior of Elementalists has been significantly improved:
  • Each unit decides what to do just before its turn, preventing situations where a target unit has moved closer, but the Elementalist still executes the previously planned Frost Blink.
  • Upon using Frost Blink, the unit now avoids damaging ground zones, such as Poison Clouds or Lightning Fields.
  • If positioned within a harmful Lightning Field, the unit will blink out of the affected area.
  • When casting Flame Burst or Mana Field, the unit now selects targets based on maximizing impact on allies and enemies.
  • If Frost Blink occupies the first slot:
    • Given Noble Sacrifice is allocated, the unit will attempt to cover as many allies as possible.
    • Otherwise, it will move towards the enemy unit with the most life, increasing the chances that enemy attacks target this unit.
