Hey everyone!

Thanks to your feedback, I’ve pushed out Patch 0.6.11 to address some of the biggest pain points you’ve brought up. This is a small, midweek patch that I’ve focused on the areas I could tackle quickly, with a few key updates to combat and early-game balance. Here’s a quick rundown of what’s changed:

What's New in Patch 0.6.11:

Combat Tweaks:

NPC Block Rework: I’ve reworked the way NPCs block to make it more consistent when you feint. This should make PvE feel smoother and more predictable.
Late-Game NPC Dodging Fix: There was a bug causing some late-game NPCs to not dodge properly. Now that this is fixed, expect them to be a little tougher!

Difficulty Adjustments:

Early NPC Nerfs: Some early-game NPCs were a bit too strong for their stage, so I’ve toned them down to make the early tower progression less punishing.
Trial of Initiation Adjustments: I’ve made the lower grades in the Trial of Initiation slightly easier, so newer players can still get through without too much frustration, but the higher grades will still be a challenge!

Bug Fixes & Miscellaneous:

Cleaned up some minor bugs with NPC interactions and blocking mechanics.
Improved feints to work more smoothly when NPCs block.

Announcing the 2v2 Tournament!

I’m also excited to announce the first-ever 2v2 Tournament, happening this Saturday, October 5th at 9:00 PM (NA)! You don’t need a partner in advance—just show up solo or with a friend in the NA Freeform Map. Winners will get a free copy of the game when it launches!

Sign-Up Info: I’ll post more details soon about signing up, but feel free to just show up on the day if you want to jump in. You can also check Discord if you’re looking to find a teammate ahead of time!

Special Playtest Reward: Puppeteer Slayer Trophy

For those of you who manage to take down the Puppeteer during this playtest, you’ll get a special item added to your inventory afterward. It won’t have any in-game effects just yet, but it’ll sit in your backpack and look awesome as a reminder of your victory!

I really appreciate all the support and feedback you’ve been giving. The servers are live, so feel free to dive back into the tower and test your skills! If you come across any bugs, please report them in the bug-report channel on Discord.

Thanks again for everything, and I’ll see you in the tower!

– Alex
