Hey everyone!

Doing something a little different with this patch...

Submit You Ideas!

A lot of you have suggested some awesome ideas for weapons, shields, items, and refinements you'd like to see in game, well this is your chance to shine! I've put together a form to capture all your great ideas, and after a week or two, I'll compile them all into a list for community voting. The highest voted ideas for each category (weapon/shield/item/refinement) will be put into the game, along with an immortalizing "Forged by player123" in the description!

In anticipation for a lot of submissions, I'm going to be curating some submissions into the special categories of "Most Historically Accurate", "Most Unique", and "Most Cursed" (explained in the pinned thread) for easier voting, so keep these categories in mind for some of your submissions!

Changelog

Fix: Refinements are no longer duplicated on overwriting an existing one. NO FUN ALLOWED.
Fix: Confirming a forge now refreshes the unit's abilities, meaning you should see correct stat values in the unit info UI.
Fix: Fixed an issue where reloading the chapter from the main menu wouldn't properly reset new unit's item charges.
Fix: Fixed Illyana's personal ability (Aptitude) to put it back to giving +1 ATK and +5 HIT for EVERY weapon proficiency at A rank or higher in EVERY battle (regardless of weapon used).
Fix: Small change to how promotions are triggered, they will now trigger anytime the unit is above level the promotion level without having promoted yet. This may seem like an insignificant change, but it may allow me later down the line to introduce characters at a higher level, but still allow the player to choose their first/second promotion on next level up. This will also give a workaround to the issue a few of you have experienced where you character seems to skip their promotion. They will still promote on their next level!

Thanks for reading, and I'm excited to see what you all cook up!

Best,
Eldin T.
