[h3] Major Enemy Update [/h3]

From V.1.4 onward, there will be changes to enemies both minor and major.

[h3] Minor Rebalances [/h3]

New Jade Box modifier added, "Highly Perceptive". This will start the game with the Border Sensor.

Fixed an issue with the "Clean Hands" achievement where reloading after obtaining an exhibit would make the run inegible for it.

Fixed issues with Hourai's Sea of Trees:

2. Fixed interaction with High Fidelity Headphones: previously, it would reduce the maximum cost (to prevent unwanted triggers of the "return cards from Exile" effect)
Now, it instead raises the number of hits by 1, up to a maximum of 7, and no longer affects the card's cost.

Gensokyo, Past and Present is now Uncommon.

Adjusted in-game texts.
Adjusted achievement unlock requirements


[h3] Extra Turn Card Rework [/h3]


New Three-Colored Neutral Card："Century's Doppelgangers"

This card "inserts" an immediate extra turn when played.
Yutopia designed this card well, but it caused problems with extra turn cards with other effects.

Such cards' extra turns were meant to have drawbacks like being unable to deal damage, draw cards etc.
It's now possible to have such multiple such extra turns at once, and they will resolve the order they were played, starting from the first.
These effects don't merge, and multiple instances of the same effect will occur independently

The following 5 cards are affected：
"Broken Timeline"
"Clock Corpse"
"You Are Next!"
"Eternal and Instantaneous"
"Luna Clock"

[h2] 10/27 v1.3.17 Spell Card Update [/h2]

[h3] General [/h3]

New Card Art: "Navigation Star" , "Dazzling Dash"


Improved the mechanism for cards that change cost under certain condition, this allows for Fleeting Fantasy's effect to affect Attack cards with this kind of effect.

Shikigami Protection cost reduced: 1WU→1WU/WU, choose 3/5→4/5 random uncommon cards.


[h3] Difficulty Adjustments [/h3]

Removed Request: Old Battery
Returned Request "Bitter Medicine" to two separate Requests: "Bitter Medicine" and "Last Stand"
Adjusted the order of Requests.


[h3] Character Spell Card Adjustment [/h3]

Sakuya's Spell card, Illusion World "The World" no longer ends the Player's turn immediately and can be used multiple times in a single turn.
Its Power cost is increased to 120 (By default the maximum power is 240)

This adjustment is for ensuring its synergy with "Zener Cards" and "Sutra of Dharmatic Power".

Before Public Release, all effects that apply Extra Turn does not end the current turn.
We thought the effects would be too powerful, so we changed all of those effects to end the current turn. Now, the Spell Card is reverted back to its original effect, but has an increased cost at the same time.

Following this change, the Spell Card Tooltip now has detailed descriptions for the Spell Card's Power Cost, maximum amount of Spell Card charges and use limitations in a turn, the Spell Cards' Power Cost are also shown while selecting a character.


[h3] "A Nice Person" Achievement Unlock Bug [/h3]

Fixed the Achievement Unlock Bug for "Mystia: Late Night Barbecue".
Cause of Bug: When given the option to heal or gain Power, if the food that gives Power is chosen, it will not contribute to unlocking the achievement even if money is paid normally.

What's worthy of mentioning is that this achievement's accumulation does not have a required condition (always has been).
Using seeds, Jade Box or playing in Easy Difficulty will do just fine, it will even count if a little trolling is done by restarting and paying 5 times.
There have been speculations from players that has yet to unlock this achievement, in reality it's caused by picking the food that gives Life, sorry for omission during testing.
