Patch notes:

Three Exclusive Bosses

Golgra, the Mime, and Pétank have invaded the Prison, each with brand-new combat mechanics built just for this crossover.

Golgra – Calm at first, but her kicks and gestral allies get brutal once her second phase kicks in.
The Mime – Hammers, nails, walls take them both down together, or they’ll revive each other.
Pétank – Runs, then rains projectiles, clones, and explosions on you.

Three New Rooms

Straight from the world of Expedition 33 : Lumière, the Gestral Village, and the Campfire. One appears at random before the final boss each run: pick Expedition 33 content or the Andromeda Bar, but choose fast, it won’t come back this run!

Around the Campfire

Recruit a member of the Expedition as a special summon, each with their own unique mechanic:

Gustave – Heals, boosts your attack, strikes with you, and charges up a devastating finisher.
Maelle – Shifts stance with your HP; hold one long enough for a powerful payoff attack.
Sciel – Draws cards : Moon for mana, Sun for direct strikes, Twilight for a big hit.
Lune – Casts elemental spells matching your build, building to a powerful finisher.
Verso – Rank rises on hit, drops on damage taken, push it high for a massive attack bonus.
Monoco – Draws a random card, each triggering a different monster summon.

You’ll only get one Expedition ally per run, so take your pick, and don’t forget to give Esquie a hug!

Free for everyone, unlocked after beating the game on Destiny Level 0.

New: DLC & Additional Content Menu

A new sub-menu now shows everything you’ve unlocked, and how to unlock the rest.

Spell Loots were showing their affinity bonus incorrectly if they had gambits equipped.
Fixed some of Kat’s behavior issues in certain terrains causing her to move weird.
Kat will now not stand in front of loots like gambits, drinks, auras…etc. in rooms and in the bar.
The 4th choice icon in the Prowess selection UI would sometimes not appear
Fixed some complications regarding nonexistent dialogues that involve Arven.
Ayla’s Prowess “”Umbral Paralysis”” was causing absurd amounts of damage to ophiuchus if the FPS was higher than 60
Fixed a bug where opening the Imprint Altar in Andromeda’s Bar without any Imprints collected would show an empty imprint with dev text.
Fixed an error where the conditions for Yamat and Arven appearing for DLC owners was functioning as if the player did not own their DLCs, delaying access to the character content.

Astral Ascent – Ver. 2.6.0

Release date: ???
Patch notes:

Major Features

New Prowess System: Signature Spell Prowesses have been reworked for all characters, ALL element-based (burn, freeze, poison, electric, neutral and their sub-effects except mana recovery, damage increase and critical rate) prowesses will not be available anymore – if you have a mid-run save from the previous version, you might encounter a bug where your Prowess choices will be empty, affecting the run. The issue will not carry over to further runs.
New Signature Spell Specialization System is introduced: one extra slot for Signature Spell Prowesses is available, the first choice will be among 3 Specializations, affecting the Prowess Pool options in subsequent level-ups at the Guardian Statues. Each Specialization will give access to 6 sub-prowesses related to the main one.
The player will not be able to use their rerolls on the Specialization choice, since it is fixed to only these 3 choices, and it would waste the rerolls for the run. Additionally, due to the addition of the extra slot for Signature Spell Prowesses, the Prowess replacement at Levels 9 to 12 will only allow the player to replace 1 Signature Spell Prowess, while the replacement for the Basic Attack Prowesses remains at 2.
To compromise, the player will now be able to pick a Prowess or re-roll first before choosing which Prowess to replace. Additionally, they can choose to cancel and keep the chosen Prowess instead of being forced to replace it with an undesired one.
Added a new Shadow Clone enemy based on Arven. You can fight him in exploration rooms or when he is summoned by The Master, even if you do not own the Arven DLC.

Small Features

The order and conditions for unlocking Characters and NPCs in the garden have been improved for a smoother experience both to players who own the Yamat or Arven DLC and those who don’t
Added a new bonus mechanic for Sun Pieces: after every run, one of the playable characters will have an orange outline and a Sun Piece icon above their head, playing this character on the next run will add 1 to the Sun Pieces multiplier, speeding up metaprogression in early game and providing more resources for rerolling in runs.

Balancing

Aura Adjustments: The Aura “”Brittle Ice III”” was incorrectly spawning 6 Ice Fragments instead of 5 when an enemy is inflicted with Frostbite, it did not match the spawn values of “”Icy Blow III”” which has the same effect.
The Aura “”Heatseeker Shield”” was applying Fire Shield for 5 seconds, which did not match the duration of 6 seconds on other Fire Shield Astral Auras
Added invincibility to Kiran’s Spell “”Twin Dragon Uppercut”” on the first uppercut
The following Balance Adjustments have been made for the old Signature Spell Prowesses that are retained, both to provide stronger synergies with the new Prowesses, and to bring the characters closer in strength to each other:
– The impact of Prowesses on the loot affinity system has been reduced significantly, as the new Prowesses introduced in this update are not element-based
– The overall spawn rates of available Prowesses have been slightly adjusted to fit with the new pool size of each character
– Ayla’s “”Eagle Instinct”” Critical chance on Signature Spell: 20% => 50%
– Ayla’s “”Weakening Symbol”” Damage boost on Shadow Marked enemies: 10% => 25%
– Ayla’s “”Wind Symbol”” Velocity on Signature Spell duration: 3 seconds => 4 seconds
– Kiran’s “”Really Long Fist!”” Counter Range Increase: 50% => 60%
– Kiran’s “”Crazy Pumping Fist!”” Counter Range Decrease: 50% => 40%
– Kiran’s “”Power Shift”” Removed the Signature Spell Cooldown Increase
– Kiran will always have a 1 second Cooldown on Signature Spell Failure regardless of increase/decrease through Prowesses (those will only apply to the Cooldown on success)
– Octave’s Bellator self-destruct damage has been buffed
– Octave’s “”Mana Module”” Mana Recovery on Signature Spell: 3 => 1 mana (due to the higher spawn rate of the Prowess “”Myriad”” and its synergy with this Prowess, this one had to be nerfed)
– Calie’s “”Shapes of Magic”” Mana Recovery chance on Gem hit: 5% => 10% (due to Calie losing most of her options that grant extra Max Gems on the field, this buff will allow her to regenerate mana more consistently)
Signature Spells were erroneously being counted as Basic Attacks on hit, triggering Basic Attack prowesses. This was fixed for Octave, Calie and Yamat, as their Signature Spells can do a large number of hits, giving them very unbalanced strength. For Ayla and Kiran, it was retained as their Signature Spells are single physical hits, this provides them with small boosts to mobility in tight situations, allows them to occasionally trigger Basic Attack Prowesses on Signature Hit, and does not create any major balance issues.
Calie and Yamat’s fall attack damage would mistakenly do more damage than intended, they now do the same damage as everyone else. Additionally, small adjustments were made to everyone’s fall attacks to make their hit behavior more consistent
The Cursed Telescope Buff “”The Time Bender”” chance to reset Signature Spell Cooldown has been reduced from 50% to 30% to accomodate the increased strength of Signature Spells with the new Prowess system
Hero Echoes were doing damage that did not match with the balancing of the spells they are based on.
Echo Adjustments: – Lucy’s Cyclone damage was slightly reduced as it was an extreme outlier in terms of damage.
– Beowulf’s Dragon Flight was hitting a lot and very quickly, causing frame drops. The hit cooldown has been increased, and to compensate, the damage and application of Burn stacks has also been increased.
Added Elemental Effects to the 3 Hero Echoes that were missing them.
– Kiran’s Water Dragons now summons 6 Snow Flakes
– Octave’s Star-Killer Shot now summons 2 Nimbus
– Yamat’s Dance of Contempt now summons 6 Ice Swords (additionally, Cooldown for this Echo was increased to 35 to balance its power)
Two new Echoes available to everyone featuring Arven have been added to the game:
– Arven’s Eclipse Smash: Creates a growing sphere of flames and grants the player Fire Shield for 6 seconds
– Arven’s Shocking Combo: Summons a clone that attacks enemies then creates a temporary Electric Hexagon around the player. both have a 30% chance to apply Lightning Orb on hit.
Weapon Passive Adjustments: The following Weapon Passives have been adjusted to provide them extra strength so they don’t feel bad compared to other passives:
-Ayla’s “”Tri-Fang Assault”” (Throwing Knife): Now counts as a Basic Attack hit (does not regenerate Mana)
– Kiran’s “”Hit Marker”” (Fiery Falchions): Now can regenerate Mana on hit.
– Kiran’s “”Explosive Temper”” (Burning Bo): the explosion now counts as a Signature Spell hit.
– Calie’s “”Call to Arms”” (Service Spear): increased the duration frrom 2.2 to 3 seconds.
– Calie’s “”Avenging Shield”” (Unbreakable Rempart): Now can regenerate Mana on hit.
– Octave’s “”Orbus Minoris”” (Pistor Vocatis): Now counts as a Basic Attack hit (does not regenerate Mana).
– Octave’s “”Fragor Mortis”” (Exterminatum Exemplaris): Now counts as a Basic Attack hit (does not regenerate Mana).
– Octave’s “”Ictus Tempestas”” (Wrenching Whip): Now counts as a Basic Attack hit and can regenerate Mana on hit.
– Yamat’s “”Obsidian Wyrm”” (Fighting Spirit): Now can regenerate Mana on hit. Damage was also slightly increased.
– Yamat’s “”Art of War”” (Oblivion Greatsword): Now counts as a Basic Attack hit (does not regenerate Mana).
– Yamat’s “”Meteor Volley”” (Stellar Chord): Now counts as a Basic Attack hit (does not regenerate Mana).
– Yamat’s “”Sonic Boom”” (Stellar Chord): Increased the amount of charges gained on Spell Refresh by 1.

Level Design

– Unified the color of all Prowess titles to match the color of the associated character’s name
– Most description texts (Prowesses, Imprints…etc.) are now colored a slight grey color, and important terms that are not associated with elemental effects will be white in color and in bold text.
– Ensured all terms related to elemental effects are now colored the same as the associated element,
– Terms related to Heroes’ Signature Spells (e.g. King Counter, Draconic Missiles, Gems, Shadow Mark…etc.) will have the same color as their associated Signature Spell.
When selecting a spell to upgrade with a Pavo’s Feather, the UI will present the level and damage change for a smoother experience
Fixed the sidescreen UI saying “”Buy”” in the Telluric Ruins, since the spells are supposed to be free

Spells with invincibility could keep invincibility forever if the player jumps at the same frame the invincibility is set
Yamat Echoes were displayed in the Damage Meter as Yamat Spells, not as Echo Damage.
Arsenal had a sidescreen input still visible if closed while swap weapon was visible
Ayla’s Signature Spell Prowess “”Contagious Mark”” was spreading the Shadow Mark to enemies far away off-screen, which was not intended.

– Adjusted the prices for Gambit upgrades from The Sandman: 75, 150, 400 => 100, 200, 400

Release date: April 25th 2024 (North America, Europe) / TBA (Japan)
Patch notes:

Major Features

The Arsenal : 8 new weapons and 36 passives for weapons unlockable with small quests
AYLA

Lunar daggers (Daggers):

PARTING GIFT: Killing enemies burst 1 colored dagger out of their remains. It comes back to you after a few moments.

GLIDING STAR: Dash leaves behind a rotating shuriken that comes back to you after a few seconds. Only one can be out at a time.

NIGHT VEIL: You gain an extra jump and each Double Jump flings a fan of kunais under you.

Moonlight blade (Katana):

RAY OF LIGHT: In each room, until you get hit, the last attack of your basic attack combo will launch a wave of light.

STARFIRE: Dash through enemies while your signature spell is available will mark them. Using your signature spell calls upon a powerful ray of starfire on all of the marked enemies, consuming the mark in the process.

JUDGEMENT CUT: After a spells_refresh, your next basic attack will be empowered to execute the healthiest enemy. Zodiacs and Star guardians are too powerful to be affected by this ability.

Eclipse shards (Claws):

KUSARIGAMA’S FURY: On a Fall Attack you grab up to 5 enemies with a chain and pull them to you.

INNER DEMON: Using your signature spell unleashes a clone in your initial position that flies back to you, shredding all enemies in its path.

HUNTER X HUNGER: The Hunt is On, you gain hunger stack that gives you 5% attack speed and 10% movespeed (up to 50% Movespeed) when killing enemies. You lose 1 stack every 1.5 seconds.

KIRAN

Raging Fists (Fists):

DOUBLE TAP: In each room, until you get hit, your basic attack does an extra punch.

COME AND GET IT: On signature spell, you pull all those cowards right next to you to punch them better.

FLOWER POWER: In each room, your first 4 basic attack are replaced by a fireball. Each time you use your signature spell you get 1 more fireball to throw.

Burning bo (Bo Staff):

EXPLOSIVE TEMPER: When you successfully counter an attack with your signatire spell you do A HUGE EXPLOSION!!!!!

BOGGO STICK: Your double jump becomes an awesome attack that works like a basic attack!

MAGNETIC PERSONNALITY: In each room, until you get hit, the enemies are captivated by the last attack of your basic attack combo and assemble in front of you to admire it.

Diery falchions (Dual Falchions):

HIT MARKER: Every 6 seconds, a mark appears on an enemy for a short period. Hitting them with a basic attack makes it explode.

SANTÔRYÛ: A floating sword appears periodically. Catch it to earn its loyalty for the next 6 basic attack. After those, it will go back to its family and a new floating sword will appear after 7 seconds.

SWORD JUGGLING: Every 10 seconds, your next basic attack will launch a rotating fire blade that comes back to you.

CALIE

Polytechnical Gmmes (Gems):

AERIAL STRIKE: Every 8 seconds, your next double jump will bombard the enemy positions in front of you with 5 feathers. Timeless classic.

CONDUCTIVE PROPERTY: Using your signatire spell creates an energy orb on each gem and links them together with a damage-dealing energy. Practical.

FIELD SUPPLIES: A crystal will grow on the ground after 5 seconds. You can destroy it with 3 basic attack to create 5 gems that you can recall with your signature spell. A thrifty solution.

Service Spear (Spear):

CALL TO ARMS: When using your signature spell, you call forth spears that pierce the enemies around you for 2,2 seconds.

WOLF HOLE: A mark will appear every 5 seconds on enemies around Calie. Doing a Top Attack will consume the mark and create an area attack around it, knocking the enemies toward Calie’s position.

HOMING SPEAR: In each room, your first 2 basic attack throw a spear that can be called back to you. After a spell refresh you get 1 more spear to throw. Handy.

Unbreakable Rempart (Shield):

SIEGE BREAKER: A destructible block will appear after 7 seconds. Breaking it will launch 3 damage dealing debris accross the battlefield. Disappointing craft.

DEFENSIVE MEASURES: Using your signature spell creates a force field around Calie. Each gem recalled will be deflected by it and launched toward a nearby enemy. Impenetrable.

AVENGING SHIELD: After 5 seconds, the last attack of your basic attack combo will launch a shield that bounces 6 times off enemies. Old efficient trick.

OCTAVE

Pistor Vocatis (Dual pistols):

ORBUS MINORIS: Every 8 seconds, you summon Pluto, a flying drone that follows you and attack enemies hit with a close-range basic attack. After 5 shots, it disappears. (Sad)

CONIICIO IOCOR: A bullet appear after 5 seconds. Collecting it replaces your next {basic attack with a laser that ricochets up to 6 times between enemies. (Stylish)

AUREA MERIDIES: When entering a Fight Room or an Eclipse Room, your first basic attack launch you into a flurry of laser, killing everything in sight. (Awesome!)

Exterminatum Exemplaris (Rocket launcher):

FRAGOR MORTIS: In each room, until you get hit, the last attack of your basic attack combo will launch 6 grenades around your target. (Radical)

ORBITUM TERMINUS: Your signature spell calls a devastating strike firing 20 shots from orbit. (Total Annihilation)

PRIORA SIGNA: An energy orb appears after 5 seconds. Shooting it with a basic attack detonates it, damaging all the enemies in the area.

Magnum Cupitere (Gunblade):

SECO VERBERA: After a spell refresh, your next basic attack will create an energy orb and split it into a myriad of small projectiles that target nearby enemies.

MISERIA LABRUM: Your Dash now deals damage and has 30% chances to mark enemies on hit. Hitting marked enemies with a basic attack deals extra damage and consumes the mark. (I hope she’ll like it)

ANIMA VAMPIRIS: After each kill, Octave stores his enemy’s power into 1 orb (max 3). Your basic attack consumes 1 orb to release a powerful shot. (Is that what it felt like, Mother?)
