When the game first launched, we received a lot of feedback from players about text box layout issues and the pressure of mouse interactions. We’re aware of these concerns and are working to improve the experience as quickly as possible. On the other hand, many players also mentioned that the combat difficulty was too high—some even got stuck on the first level for an entire afternoon. We’re truly sorry about that... To address this, we’re introducing the new “Summoning Flag” weapon in an upcoming update. The Summoning Playstyle is a blessing for players who enjoy chaotic, large-scale battles. By summoning a multitude of units to act as shields or provide firepower support, you can push your squad's combat capabilities to their limit. Playstyle Features:

• Overwhelming Numbers:

Skills such as "Summon Beasts" or "Spirit Command" allow summoned units to inherit a portion of the character's HP and attack power, giving you a numbers advantage.

• Diverse Combinations:

When paired with abilities like “Buddha Trap” or “Soul Nurture,” summoning skills can also inflict various debuffs, putting enemies in a controlled state.

• Team Enhancements:

Summoned units not only serve as shields but also trigger effects like parasitism, upgrades, or secondary summons, improving your team’s survivability and damage output. Recommended Builds:

• Equipment:

Prioritize items that enhance the HP and attack power of summoned units.

• Team Composition:

Combine summoning-focused characters with support-oriented ones to create an efficient and safe combat environment. Under the dominance of the summoning playstyle, turn the battlefield into an all-out brawl! Use your thick walls of summoned allies to crush the enemy’s offensive momentum and reclaim control of the fight.

Among the suggestions we've received, some players have expressed a desire for an auto-battle option and a less demanding combat experience. To balance the needs of manual control players and those who prefer auto-battle, the development team is introducing ：

The Banner Weapon Style

!This style allows you to summon minions to assist in battle, effectively reducing the overall operational complexity so that everyone can find a playstyle that suits them. Of course, we’re carefully reviewing every piece of feedback and will continue improving the game experience step by step. Your input is invaluable—thank you so much! Additionally, to show our appreciation for your support, we will be holding an event where all players will receive 10 DLC skins for all characters (including the story reward skin for Long Xi). The DLC is currently awaiting Steam approval, and since the review process might be delayed due to the holiday season, we kindly ask for your patience. We’ll notify you as soon as the event goes live! Thank you again for your support and companionship. We will keep pushing forward to bring you an even better gaming experience! I. Feature Improvements Overall difficulty of dungeons has been reduced. Spirit stone pickup radius increased by 50%, and the pickup detection threshold has been lowered. Added beginner tip bubbles in the camp. Adjusted some abstract IDs in the crowdfunding gratitude list. Reduced basic attack cooldown by 20%. II.
