Demo's coming next Friday for those who wants to try the game out! Today's patch will mainly focus on Sakura changes and a few bug fixes.

Luciella

As a Supporter - Burst effect will now affect all allies in the room (Affects Mimi if she is being escorted) As an Operator - Will now affect the entire Dream World Reason for Change Luciella is great for self-sustain, but this is something the Player actually doesn't need most of the time. The Player needs a way to keep the towers alive, making her a Sakura that you'd always skip in the later Dream Worlds. With this change, she is now a viable pick for defending choke points and escorting Mimi.

Elva

As a Supporter - Restore 20% of Max HP every 10s -> Restore 20% of Max HP every 5s - New Burst Effect -> Restore 40% of Max HP to all allies in the room (Affects Mimi if she is being escorted) As an Operator - Restore 5% of Max HP every 5s -> Restore 10% of Max HP every 5s Reason for Change Elva had the same issue as Luciella, self-sustain is not a problem for the Player. The problem lies within keeping the towers alive. With this change, Elva be can used as a Burst healer and is a viable pick for if you need emergency room heal and for when Mimi is low on HP during escort.

Haley

As a Supporter - Restore 20% of Max MP every 10s -> Restore 30% of Max MP every 5s As an Operator - Restore 5% of Max MP every 5s -> Restore 10% of Max MP every 5s Rank - 1%, 2%, 2% of Max MP -> 2%, 3%, 5% of Max MP. Reason for Change Haley falls off fast due to how skills' MP cost scale up every Dream World, but the MP pool wasn't large enough for a noticible difference. With this change, the MP Regen should now scale better.

Mocha

As an Operator - 3% of Max HP -> 5% of Max HP

Cecilia

Rank - +3, +5, +7 Attack -> +5, +9, +14 Attack Reason for Change Scaling wasn't good enough, but should be okay now. She will most likely still be replaced later on, but she's a fantastic pick for early game.

Chilli

As a Supporter - Chance to slow increased from 25% -> 45% - Burst effect changed from 'Increase Chance to 60%' to 'Increase slow value to 60%' As an Operator - Chance to slow increased from 5% -> 35% Rank 1 +15%/10% Chance Rank 2 +15%/+10% Chance Rank 3 +25%/15% Chance Reason for Change This change actually made no difference to those who favor Laser Pistols, but will allow new strategies for poor room layout room where Ice Emitter is not an option, especially for those who favor Laser Rifles or Rocket Launcher.

Luna

As a Supporter - Slow increased from 40% -> 50% - Slow duration increased from 1s -> 3s

Thora

As a Supporter - Disable duration increased from 1s -> 2s As an Operator - Disable duration increased from 0.5s -> 1s

Spectre

As an Operator - Changed from room effect -> Dream World - Restore 1% of Max MP -> 10% of Max MP Rank - New effects for Operator - 1%, 1%, 2% -> 3%, 3%, 4% of Max MP Reason for Change Spectre is powerful as a Supporter, but was incredibly weak as an Operator. The MP needed a tweak because 1% of Max MP falls off incredibly fast for the same reason as Haley.

Glacier

As a Supporter - Slow duration increased from 2s -> 3s As an Operator - Slow duration increased from 1s -> 2s --------------------------

Jessi

- Fixed Rank 3 typo from +10% Stat Increase -> +2 Stacks or +2% Chance

Poi

- Fixed a bug where stacks were not being reset upon swapping to and from Supporter <-> Operator

Jessi, Poi, Kitsu, Crystal

- Fixed a bug where stacks were being reset to 0 instead of dividing by 2 upon entering a new Dream World - Stacks are now shown in the description

Other Bug Fixes

- Fixed a bug where maxed level upgraded towers had a chance to reappear in the shop (hopefully) - Fixed a bug where Poison Driller had a base Defense of 85 instead of 35. The Sakuras listed above needed a little tweak as they were quite underwhelming compared to the other Sakuras available in the game. I hope with these changes, new strategies will open up and hopefully they'll be contracted more. Thanks!
