- Increased the initial number of passive abnormality slots for each character (from 2 to 4).
- Each character's initial traits and the first two upgradeable traits are adjusted to be initially unlocked.
[h3]Reduced Unlock Conditions[/h3]
When an unlock item displays incorrectly (e.g., cumulative kills 13/10 monsters), it can be unlocked by using that character as the leader and completing a game settlement (starting and abandoning is also acceptable); it can also be unlocked by having that character in the party and settling after a game.
Reduced the values required for unlocking active anomaly slots for characters, adjusted from "this character has cumulatively killed 5 BOSSes" to different conditions for different characters, mainly divided into three categories:
- Glitch, Anomy, Blanche, Stray: This character has cumulatively killed 3 BOSSes.
- Verica, Regel: This character has cumulatively killed 2 BOSSes.
- Mira, Soma: This character has cumulatively killed 1 BOSS.
Reduced the values required for unlocking passive anomaly slots for characters, adjusted from "this character has cumulatively killed 10/50/100/150 monsters" to different conditions for different characters, mainly divided into three categories:
- Glitch, Anomy, Blanche, Stray: This character has cumulatively killed 10/30/60/100 monsters.
- Verica, Regel: This character has cumulatively killed 5/20/45/75 monsters.
- Mira, Soma: This character has cumulatively killed 5/15/30/50 monsters.
Reduced the values required for unlocking profession anomalies (still requires unlocking the profession anomaly system first).
- For the second to fifth items, adjusted from "this character has cumulatively killed 15 minor monsters in Chapter 1/2/3/4" to different conditions for different characters, mainly divided into three categories:
- Glitch, Anomy, Blanche, Stray: This character has cumulatively killed 10 minor monsters in Chapter 1/2/3/4.
- Verica, Regel: This character has cumulatively killed 7 minor monsters in Chapter 1/2/3/4.
- Mira, Soma: This character has cumulatively killed 5 minor monsters in Chapter 1/2/3/4.
- For the sixth item, adjusted from "this character has cumulatively killed 100 minor monsters" to different conditions for different characters, mainly divided into three categories:
- Glitch, Anomy, Blanche, Stray: This character has cumulatively killed 60 minor monsters.
- Verica, Regel: This character has cumulatively killed 50 minor monsters.
- Mira, Soma: This character has cumulatively killed 40 minor monsters.
Reduced the values required for unlocking experience rewards, adjusted from "this character, when acting as leader, participates in 1/5/10/15/20 events" to "this character, when acting as leader, participates in 1/2/4/7/10 events".
[h2]Optimization[/h2]
- Adjusted the AI of [Fungal Snake] and [Spore Snake].
- The keyboard shortcut for leaving a battle has been adjusted from Esc to Space in the End of Battle screen.
[h2]Bug Fixes[/h2]
