Eternal Return will undergo temporary maintenance December 22nd from 6 PM to 11 PM PST to apply the 0.22.0 update.Happy Holidays, gang! Aesop here with your favorite post: patch notes. We’ll be introducing Emma, the Magnificent, with this patch and she’s bringing a lot of tricks to the party. Don’t ask her how she does them, a magician never reveals her secrets.
We’ve also got some other cool things headed your way: new items, ranked mode, bug fixes, and more! Let’s get started!
[h2]New Character: Emma[/h2]

- Every few seconds, Emma's next normal attack deals extra damage equal to 2/3/4% of her SP, and she gains a shield absorbing HP equal to 90/120/150 or 3/6/9% of her maximum SP.
[h3]Dove Dealer(Q)[/h3]
- Emma throws her card in the targeted direction, dealing 40/75/110/145/180 (Attack Power 45%) damage to the first enemy hit and revealing her hidden dove.
