The Claws & Chaos demo has been updated with a whole slew of updates, fixes, and balancing changes.

Please note that the demo is separate from the Rapture Mode playtest running Sept 26 to Oct 3. Rapture Mode will not be part of the demo, but we encourage you to join the playtest for the next week to try out this new mode.

Here are the patch notes for v0.45.15 of the Claws & Chaos demo:

System updates:

New Matchmaking system incorporates more player metrics to better match up players and avoid lopsided engagements. Note that it is still possible to encounter teams that are luckier or feel difficult, but should happen much less.
Hero List now displays all units in-game. A toggle to filter current Arena Season is added in bottom left.

UI / UX Adjustments

Audio changes
- New Music everywhere! Thanks to our musician Brian LaGuardia for composing a whole new soundtrack for Claws & Chaos.
- New SFX for rewards
- “Voice Acting” range increased to add a medium tone
- New player default volume changed from 50% -> 30%
Leaderboard UI updated to use the book asset and add in Rapture tab
Rain particle added to Ark Battlefield

Combat Changes

Damage from critical hits raised to 150% of a normal hit (up from 130%)
Multi-hit attackers no longer swing at air after the target has been killed
All characters with a dash on battle start now have a standardized 0.6 seconds of cloak after the dash ends
Stat Window changes
- Sell button removed due to accidental clicking
- Crit Stat is now displayed, Move Speed removed

Bug Fixes

Fixed some inconsistencies with campaign cutscene text progression
Fixed issue where items added to the shop by units were not discounting properly with level
Fixed issue where Phoenix Down would spawn resurrected units very far from where they died
Fixed incorrect damage resistance calculations which were causing units to gain much less damage resistance from buffs
Fixed issue where receiving a debuff would undo buff from Bardy
Fixed bug where regaining a heart would not visually display on the Win Summary screen.
