CHARACTER CREATION Adjustments
In order to prevent an error in which body parts become transparent, certain pieces of equipment can no longer be equipped together at the same time.
- "Destiny Lower Body Garment" and "Boxing Trunks" can no longer be equipped at the same time.
- "Crown Princess Attire" and "Raven Leather Leggings" can no longer be equipped at the same time.
- "Baihu Coat" and "Sword Demon Costume" can no longer be equipped at the same time.
While we try our hardest to avoid limiting possible customization options, we feel such a change is necessary to prevent character models from displaying incorrectly. We kindly ask for your understanding.
- "Rubber Mask" and "Oval Glasses" can no longer be equipped at the same time.
One of these items would not have displayed when equipped with the other anyway, so this change has no effect on visual customization options.
- "YoRHa Unit Number Two Standard Armor (White)" can no longer be equipped at the same time as "Nakoruru's Dogi (Top)".
This is due to an issue in which these parts would significantly clip through each other.
The black version of this equipment was already incompatible with "Nakoruru's Dogi (Top)", so the white version was adjusted to match.

Changes have been made to certain stickers:
- An issue in which stickers placed on "Padded Headgear" are visible on the opposite side they were placed has been fixed.
- An issue in which stickers cannot be placed near the backside of "Chinese Hat (Brimmed)" has been fixed.

Other changes have been made as well:
- An issue in which hair with the "Braided Half-Up Style" disappears when certain head equipment is equipped has been fixed.
- An issue in which Astaroth's and Haohmaru's abdomens become transparent if they are equipped with "Enlightened One's Armor" has been fixed.
- The color palette for the 4th color-customizable place on "War Maiden's Costume" has been changed, increasing customization options.
- "Kuroko's Hood" was designed after stagehands in kabuki theater (called "kuroko") who would never show their faces, and in consideration of that fact, the item was intentionally designed so it could not be broken. However, in version 2.20, players are now able to turn equipment breaking on or off, so "Kuroko's Hood" is now treated as breakable equipment.
- An issue in which the angle of movement for "Seeker's Earrings" and "Aristocrat Earrings" differs between Extra 1 and Extras 2 & 3 has been fixed.

BAN policies for players who violate the EULA (End User License Agreement)
We will enforce bans on players who have been confirmed to have violated the EULA that is agreed upon when they first play the game. Please note that players who are repeatedly reported to have violated the EULA are subject to the ban once we confirm such violation has actually taken place.

Game System Adjustments

We are continuously checking and investigating other unexpected issues. Thank you for your understanding and continued support.

Update 1.51 is now live on Steam! The patch includes the following improvements:

Game System Adjustments
We fixed unexpected issues that may affect battles in Update Ver. 1.50 Patch Notes, released on August 5th, 2019.
(Please note that once the patch is applied, the replay data from previous versions can no longer be replayed due to the game system adjustment)

• Some attacks that give chip damage to guarding opponents
We fixed an issue where, despite the fact that chip damage cannot knock-out opponents even when their HP gauge is reduced to zero, this was not the case for Cassandra's "Keraunos Finisher" or "Shield Big Bang".

• Force Act
Cassandra can now only restore the guard stamina by performing Force Act during battles.

• Cassandra: "Admonishing Angel"
As its tracking performance when hitting an opponent in the air was much higher than expected, sometimes the opponent could not avoid the attack by aerial control. Therefore, the tracking performance in this scenario and also the height the opponent flies in the air with the second attack are now decreased.

• Cassandra: "Angel Kick-off"
We fixed an issue where an opponent rolling on the ground in downed position sometimes fell off the stage when hit by this attack.

• Cassandra: "Guardian's Knee"/"Seraphim Cyclone"
We fixed an issue where these throws were sometimes successful to opponents in the air instead of crouching opponents.

• Cassandra: "Shield Super Nova"/"Shield Big Bang"
We fixed an issue where an attack to Cassandra when she is starting up these attacks were not judged as counter attacks.

• Azwel: "No More Naysayer"
As its tracking performance was increased in Ver.1.50 update, sometimes an opponent could not avoid the attack by moving sideway. Therefore, the tracking performance is now decreased.
