| Patch | Date | Player-facing highlights | Re-open |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1.0.8 | August 7, 2026 | Holding dodge-sprint no longer drops combat state · fixes for deployed relics / Theresia & Calcion skills interrupted mid-sprint | Controls · Co-op · Discord |
| 1.0.7 | August 6, 2026 | Multiplayer Quick Join · match search-range setting · rune hold 200→500 · Organa statues unlimited · dungeon enter/wipe starts at full HP · map markers 100→200 · 4★ rune craft can yield 5★ | Co-op · Familiars · Walkthrough |
| 1.0.3 | July 25, 2026 | World Bosses reset properly · Sudden Missions reset after completion · Intermediate Promotion Quest prison door opens | Walkthrough · Co-op · Tier list |

If sprint-dodge felt like it cancelled skills or yanked you out of combat, update to 1.0.8 and re-test one standard clear before blaming a hero kit. Report lingering edge cases on Discord with the patch version attached.
Quick Join is the headline co-op QoL — pair it with the co-op guide and Discord LFG. Rune hold capacity 500 and unlimited Organa statues cut inventory babysitting on long Orbis routes. Dungeon enter / wipe now starts the party at full HP so wipe recovery is faster.
1.0.3 fixed World Boss / Sudden Mission reset timers and the Intermediate Promotion Quest prison door. 1.0.2 restored resolution/FPS persistence after verify-files — re-check controls if display prefs still look wrong.
Patch notes mix bugfixes, progression gates, and occasional balance lines. Use a fixed read order so a DragonSword Awakening update does not bury the line that blocks your save.
| Read order | Look for | Then do |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Headline / version | 1.0.2 vs 1.0.3 vs notice | Confirm your client matches before farming |
| 2. Progression blockers | Quest doors, mission reset, boss timers | Re-test the stuck gate once |
| 3. Performance / settings | FSR, FPS cap, resolution | Re-apply binds on controls if needed |
| 4. Hero / balance | Skill or ailment tweaks | Re-check tier list and team building |
| 5. Known issues | Follow-up hotfix promises | Avoid building around a confirmed bug |
Discord helps for feel, but when a summary conflicts with Steam news, the Steam post wins. Pair chat tips with wiki pages for stable references — status ailments, co-op guide, characters.
