What's up, everyone!
EA v1.3 has been updated!

[h2]Stage 4 'Sanctuary'[/h2]
Sanctuary is the last place to obtain the final Time Shade to operate the Clock Tower.
There are no lootable Secret Chests, Curses, or Soulstone, unlike the other stages.
However, you can upgrade your party members with new objects specifically designed for the Sanctuary.

The objects at Stage 4 have powerful features.
For example, you can learn another party member's skill or prevent an equipment from disappearing after your party is eliminated.

Also, bosses at Stage 4 are on another level compared to previous bosses, which will threaten you with powerful attack patterns.
Will you be able to defeat them?

Visuals and gameplay at Stage 4 are not complete in the current beta.

[h2]Improvements[/h2]

Visual improvement on Hein's skills: 'Tear Up', 'Mutilate', and 'Assault Slash'
Improved frame rate in the fields of Stage 2 and 3.

[h2]Balancing[/h2]
Boss - Sacred Karaela: Slightly reduced health, armor, and evade chance.
Oblivion Potion: 'Select 1 of 2 random skills and forget it.' -> 'Choose a skill. Forget that skill.'
Potion of Transformation : You can stun an enemy instead of polymorph.
Oblivion Potion, Potion of Transformation, Weakening Potion: Debuff success rate has increased significantly when you target an enemy.
Relic - Remnant of Madness: Now the bonus damage/healing has a limit of 50.
Relic - Magic Lamp: Phoenix's 'I'll Step Out!' will no longer be randomly cast.
Equipment - Token of Execution: The effect has changed.
Pressel - Holy Light: Slighly reduced the healing amount.
Charon - Soul Thurible: Now gains a charge for every 3 enemies defeated instead of 2.
Iron Heart - Shield Bash, Shock Wave: Base bonus damage with shield on has been removed.

We've found it difficult to structure basic mechanics on a new character that's in development. So we are working on another one instead. It'll take more time than we had expected to show our 'babies' to you. Thank you for your patience.
