Moreover... we have 2 mystery characters appearing again!

The first special guest is Yamanaka Masahiro, who voices ???! He brings a very unique tone to this upcoming character, that should make him stand out in all the right ways!

[h2]Other changes[/h2]
Changes:

• All the Community Card Packs now have a random booster pack art in the Shop, which changes every time you launch the game.
  
• Lowered the price of Community Card Pack 2 boosters to 580 stars.
  
• Added a new button in the lobby to toggle the visibility of each player's avatar.
  
• Made various changes to the text and layout of the player plates.
  
• Changed pet button in character customization to use an icon instead of text.
  
• Increased space for unit names in config voice tab.
  
• RoPoChi's Delusional Numbers now has RoPoChi roll a minmum of 0 in battle as well.
  
• Mousse skin can now be unlocked separate from any events through a hidden mechanism.
  
• Marked 800x600 resolution as 'Legacy' in the launcher.
  
  Dev note: The game's original 800x600 resolution with its limited screen estate has been a consistent issue for implementing new features, but we're aware that some people are still using it. That's why we've decided to allow some visual features to be omitted or display less than optimally on 800x600, in order to both keep the resolution functional for the foreseeable future, and to give us the freedom to improve the game's GUI more freely.

Fixes

• It is no longer possible to send hearts to Co-op bosses.
  
• Doom now properly awards Soul Eater to the Harbinger.
  
• Fixed Doom removing incorrect stock effects when it takes effect.
  
• Fixed a bug with cards stacking in the Match 2 minigame of Playground.
  
• Arnelle's Intelligence Officer passive now properly shows cards instead of white squares.
  

Balance

• Wolly DEF is now 3 (up from 2).
  
• Bunnizard HP is now 10 (up from 9).
  
• Turnislime now gives an additional -1 ATK if your ATK is 2 or higher at the start of battle.
  
  Dev note: We discovered that Wolly, Bunnizard and Turnislime have been performing as significantly 'easier' Bounties for their difficulty, and these changes are aimed to make them slightly more troublesome to bring down without changing their overall design, making the mode more balanced regardless of which Bounties are randomized..
  
  
• Deploy Bits cost is now 10 (down from 20).
  
  Dev note: while Nanako's Hyper is strong, its random nature made it less reliable than other battle Hypers for its cost. The new cost should be more consistent with its benefits.
  
  
• Scrambled Eve cost is now 20 (up from 5). New description: All players return their hand to the deck, and the deck is shuffled. After 3 chapters, all players draw as many cards as they discarded from this effect.
  
  Dev note: Scrambled Eve has been a topic of much debate both internally and externally. It has a very strong card control utility - which remains mostly unchanged with this change, but it also had a long-lasting effect of just making the games more boring by removing "plays" due to leaving people's hands empty. With this change to how Scrambled Eve functions we both give it more tactical use with the potential of hand size related plays, and it (eventually) gives the players newfound power with the extra card draw, keeping the match more exciting. We also didn't feel the star reimbursement was really thematic with the card, and given its card control power we opted to remove that and make it more expensive to use instead.
  
  
• Alte now sees a random battle card from the opponent's hand in battle (as opposed to a random card).
  
  Dev note: We've long wanted to improve Alte's utility somewhat, and while testing the new cards I think we've homed in on an idea that has a good synergy for her. The new Searchlight passive will only trigger when the opponent is holding one or more battle cards, so it gives Alte a great ability to play around her opponent's battle card choices.
  
  
• Princess' Privilege can now be used when it is the only card in your hand, or when holding 3 or more cards.
  
  While the strongest card draw card, Princess' Privilege hasn't seen much use because of its severe usage limitations. This new utility combines its original function with the more recent one, making it much easier to put to use.
  
  
• Heat 300% is now a Stock Effect (1), instead of Effect Duration: 3.
  
  Dev note:Not a major change, but after the change Heat 300% guarantees its severe debuff triggering, making it somewhat more dangerous.
  
  
• Serious Battle is now limited to Max 1.
  
  Dev note: Multiple copies of Serious Battle was deemed much power for certain characters to carry.
  
  
• Lowered Dark Side of Business cost to 5 (down from 10).
  
  
• Buffed Krila's name to Krilalaris.
  

We hope you'll enjoy the new presents!
