Healing reduction: affects healing received, lifesteal healing, and HP regeneration. Multiple effects do not stack; the strongest active reduction applies. See Systems & fixes for the related combat fixes.

09 / Systems & fixes

A clearer, fairer battlefield.

Healing & combat clarity

  • Healing reduction reduces healing received, lifesteal healing, and HP regeneration. Multiple effects do not stack; the strongest active reduction applies.
  • Fixed HP regeneration and turn-start stage healing bypassing healing reduction. Lunetta's Cursed Touch uses this same system; its status description and combat log now correctly show its existing 75% reduction.
  • Sophitia's ability descriptions now show only the bonus for her currently active style, instead of listing both Tank and Bruiser effects at once.
  • The active Tank or Bruiser label is uniquely styled in each description for quick recognition.
  • The style badge tooltip retains the full overview of both styles. This is a clarity update only and does not change her gameplay.
  • The Adventure menu now presents available official adventures with campaign art, active chapter information, and a dedicated launch control.

Ranked & match reliability

  • Two-handed weapons now receive selection credit for both occupied hand slots. Mutually exclusive items remain incompatible without discarding other valid full builds.
  • Elphelt bots no longer equip Heart Sniper Rifle, which removed the Physical Damage used by Love Bullet and Heart Storm.
  • Corrected ability descriptions to match existing damage: Cham Cham's boomerang deals 185% Physical Damage twice; Kuma's Bear Claw deals 325 + 60% Physical Damage with 42 Magical Damage per Bleed stack; Morrigan's three 55% spikes total 165% Magical Damage.
