Patch Notes Version 0.0.4.6

How to Play Screen

Added a new How to Play info screen accessible from the options menu during combat. Covers key mechanics like:

• How cards work
• The action system (Charge, Attack, Block)
• UI elements (card queue, card structure, etc.)

This screen will appear automatically once players finish the tutorial (returning players will have this screen appear once during their next fight)

AI Improvements

Reworked enemy AI behavior:

• Enemies now make decisions based on the cards they currently have
• Should make enemies easier to predict and play against

UI Updates

• Changed the position of tooltips to not cover the element they're referencing

Balance Tweaks

Adjusted the talismans used by The Healer:

• Vital Emblem, Sanctuary Mark and Heart of Gaia now heal less

Bug Fixes

• Fixed some freezing issues caused by fights ending due to card effects and not direct damage
• Fixed enemy characters not appearing as the correct chakra
• Fixed an issue allowing the player to Block after using a different action during long attack animations

• Talismans: 2 new ones added

  • Max HP: Increases max HP and restores current HP
• Guaranteed rarities now scale with your progress (i.e. more chakras cleared = more powerful rewards)

Cards & Talismans

Removed and conditions from all cards and talismans

• This helps simplify effects and results in cleaner tooltips for everyone (devs and players alike).

UI & Tooltip Updates

• Tooltips now show rarity for cards and items
• Chakra tooltips now include reward types to help you plan your path
• Updated regular enemy tooltips to better explain skipping mechanics
• General polish to keep things more thematic and more informative

AI Improvements

Smoothed out boss/enemy behavior so they dont just stand around or go hyper-aggressive with every card

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a bug where you could queue actions while animations were still playing
• Fixed tooltip cutoff issues on certain screen resolutions
• Fixed a bug where animations continued playing when alt-tabbing
• Fixed the Kindred Knot talisman so it now works only once per fight (The Healer was getting way too comfy with his job)
