Cardnarok: Raid with Gods Early Access Version 0.9.0

Hard Difficulty now live!

To make sure the build is stable, we have decided to release only Hard Difficulty even though we have completed Nightmare and Hell Difficulties. The latter two will be released shortly.
Developer Notes:
We have spent a lot of time testing, balancing, and fixing bugs since we have added many contents in this update. Thank you for your patience!

Monster Passives: Traits

-Starting from Hard, monsters will possess one trait. Nightmare monsters will have two, while Hell monsters will have three.
Developer Notes:
While introducing Traits, we want to remind players that deities placed in Reserves during Expeditions are no longer irrelevant. For example, a Physical Damage Dealer is recommended when you preview a level where the monsters are resistant to SP damage.

*Monsters can be countered by studying their Traits at the Battle Preview screen.
