Hotfix 0.4.0.12814 — Guardian Rewards and Readability

Tail and Chaos · published 21 days ago · build 24841661

All eventsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Guardian Rewards

• A regular guardian now awards a guaranteed 50 coins, while the final guardian awards 100 coins. The reward is granted immediately instead of being left on the battlefield.
• Defeating a guardian now offers a choice of three upgrades for weapons you already own, and you may take one. If fewer than three eligible non-maxed weapons are available, every available option is shown.
• The final reward still upgrades the selected weapon by two levels at once.
• The reward screen now clearly displays the full package: coins, +1 HP, experience filled to at least 55% of the current bar, and a weapon upgrade.
• Victory audio, the coin burst, and the experience-bar fill have been strengthened. There is no separate chest to chase across a dangerous battlefield.

Interface

• Fixed the Take, Keep, and Banish buttons losing their game artwork after reward cards were reused or the interface was scaled.
• Removed blurry shadows and outlines from the results screen. The Expedition line is no longer clipped in windowed mode or on Steam Deck.
• High Readability is now enabled by default for new local settings. A player's previously saved choice is preserved.

The save format, progression, and overall power ceiling are unchanged.

This update improves the reward from the Lost Trail event. Previously, after defeating the guardian, players had to choose one item from the previous journey. Even if none of the available items suited the current build after using every reroll, there was no way to leave without taking one. The reward screen now has a “Decline” button. It lets you continue the run without taking a new it…
