NeoDuel: Hotfix Patch Notes (Version 1.0.91)

Salutations, Duelists! As of Wednesday, October 3rd, 2024, a new patch has gone live for NeoDuel: Backpack Monsters. To experience the most recent and up to date build of NeoDuel on Steam, make sure you update your game.

NEW FEATURE:

Refreshed Keyboard Shortcuts: With the fusion lock feature we added last week, some of our players who got used to right click to drop Cosmions into the storage voiced their need for new shortcuts. That's why we're bringing it back to not break your gaming instinct and introduce some new ones which are:

C -> Open the Codex
K -> Drop everything from backpack! That includes Cosmion, Zones, and anything you can stash.
F -> Reroll the store offerings
R -> Rotate held Cosmion, Zones, etc.
Q or Right Click -> Drop the highlighted Cosmion into storage OR reserve shop offering.
E or mouse scroll button -> Fusion Lock
M -> Sell highlighted Cosmions, Zones, Essence.
Space -> Start Duel
Arrow keys or WASD -> Acts like a D-pad and moves the entire board

BUGFIXES

Steam cloud save system improvements: Throughout the launch week, some players had issues with Steam cloud saves due to tightened security and permission settings. This cause players to have different instances of their game progress on different platform (such as PC vs Steam Deck). We've optimized how cloud save is handled now, and things should work as smooth as a butter.
Double essence fusion/evolution bugs: Fixed an issue where some fusions wouldn't work as intended when positioning two Essences next to each other while linked to their needed Cosmion. While we couldn't replicate the issue in our playtest, our patch should address that, but do let us know if you encounter this again.

COSMION & ESSENCE BALANCING AND CHANGES

While we're still cooking the full balance patch based on our data from last week and this coming one, we've realized one thing: Fire builds are prevalent. Even though not the strongest builds in terms of success rate, it's still the most players. Therefore we are nerfing some of the best performing fire Cosmions just a bit, while buffing a tad bit some lesser used evolved and fusion ones. ELECTRICITY BASED COSMION & ESSENCE

Chirvolt: Reduced energy consumption from 3 to 2
Volroost: Reduced energy consumption from 6 to 4
Voltrex: Reduced energy consumption from 8 to 5

Developers Notes: Chrivolt is an adorable Electric starter Cosmion, but we realized that its current energy consumption and its evolutionary path was too high. So we tweaked them down. FIRE BASED COSMION & ESSENCE

Houshan : Cooldown upped from 3 to 3.5
Firefist : Damage range reduced from 10-15 to 10-13

ICE BASED COSMION & ESSENCE

Cryo Sugeko: Changed fusion recipe form Sugeko + Common Air Essence to now Sugeko + Rare Ice Essence.

Developers Notes: Ice is meant to feel strong as an element as it requires stacking, but Cryo Sugeko is the most used one as it was only requiring a Common Air Essence to evolve it. So we decided to tone it down by making its evolution more difficult, requiring now a Rare Ice Essence. NATURE BASED COSMION & ESSENCE

Duopon: Price in shop upped from from 3 to 4.

Developers Notes: Duopon is performing a little too well for a low cost Cosmion. It is very good for links as well as early game sustain, but at this price IN THIS ECONOMY? That's just a steal. WATER BASED COSMION & ESSENCE

Serenius: Reduced energy consumption from 6 to 4. Upped Damage range from 25-30 to 30-35.

Developers Notes: Arguably the worst performing Cosmion according to our data, we've decided to give it some love to incite you all to try it, especially considering its on hit effect of applying 2 Fog and creating 2 Flow.

Till then, keep on dueling, and good luck!
