Here are some of the changes within [b]version 1.3.XX[/b] that we’ve made to the game:
New Features
Added the Quick Expedition feature
[list]Quick Expedition will be unlocked after you clear through Act 3 at least once
You can toggle Quick Expedition in the Set Out screen [img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/44462767/5ff03d13af7270487e14c2cbca92d3f5aa27cd11.gif"][/img]
Quick Expeditions have less battles and events, but we’ve adjusted various power-ups and rewards to keep the final power level to be similar to regular expeditions
We also added a non-combat event specific to the Quick Expedition mode
Added difficulty adjustment with the Enemy Mastery Level slider
You can set the Enemy Mastery Level for expeditions and the Phantom Arena, being able to create challenges that are not tied to Trial conditions
Enemy Mastery Level is set with a multi-step adjustment slider, which affects all enemy stats except for Movement [img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/44462767/55cbca16ff5bb6b3d7f6b140b6a150f739ecea35.gif"][/img]
Enemy Mastery Level setting can be applied together with Trials; in this case, the enemy Mastery Level for the specific Trial level will be the minimum [img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/44462767/899aaae787318af53697917de7c3543f0cf993a6.gif"][/img]
Added the Phantom Arena
Phantom Arena is a mode where you can save your build from a completed expedition, and utilize it to take on various other combat scenarios [img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/44462767/b6de7eed4ccd2121bb5c7455a836c70541e3a462.gif"][/img]
When you complete an expedition, you can choose to save your build for use in the Phantom Arena [img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/44462767/0fe8f7dfa6df2305da513f319998e7658189da39.gif"][/img]
Enemy Mastery Level can also be adjusted for Phantom Arena battles
We also added 7 in-game Side Challenges and rewards for Phantom Arena content
Changes/Improvements
Made improvements so that, when choices pop up during dialogue events, it would not result in an immediate selection
Raised the stats of Fallen units created by the player
Added text about Enemy Mastery Levels to the Trial Level Modifier info [img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/44462767/e921522355904dc4154cf78b24c8a1cbefbba4d3.jpg"][/img]
Adjusted the display area within the Unit Info window so that stat values do not end up with a line break
Bug Fixes
Fixed the issue where Evie’s equipment ability, Hymn of Revival, gave less EXP than it should
Fixed the issue where, when Marco’s Battlemaster skill triggered, the effects would display without the relevant text
Fixed the issue where, if Fontaine’s Range Master skill was triggered while equipped with a pike, the relevant effects would not display properly
Fixed the issue where some environmental reaction effects did not display properly
Fixed the issue where the Talent Skills would not be marked as obtained in the Codex * Even if you obtained Talent Skills before, you need to obtain them again after the patch to fill the Codex entry
Fixed the issue where some skills did not show up on the skill selection list at the start of an expedition for characters with the Ambitious or the Enthusiastic buff from the Morale Boost system
Fixed the issue where the Wraith Guardian relic would not function properly under certain conditions
Fixed the issue where the Raven Contract relic would sometimes provide blessings for weapons not equipped by any of your units
Fixed the issue where undoing would remove tile markers for cyclones spawned in certain battles
Fixed the issue where the Altar of Fire would sometimes display incorrect effects, under certain conditions while interacting with the UI using a controller
Fixed the issue where, under certain circumstances, attacking Sable with Fontaine’s Range Master effect would make Sable end her turn without taking any action
Fixed the issue in Karlotta’s 3rd battle variant, where the enemy stat boost from Trial effects did not apply to the giant when it was revived
Fixed the issue where Rosalina’s Talent Skill, Arbiter of Light, would damage large enemies multiple times
Fixed the issue where you could obtain multiple relics at once at the Map Destination node
Fixed the issue where some combat events could not be properly completed, if an undo was used for a combat event decision made during Elena's Shooting Spree windup
