2.0.8 Update — Nightmare Ascent, Reforged Equipment, and Smarter Auto-Equip

Lazy Legions 2.0.8 Update

Version 2.0.8 is now live. This update expands the endgame with a deeper Nightmare ascent, rebuilds equipment generation and auto-equip around real combat value, and improves startup, window behavior, and large-run performance.

Nightmare ascent and endgame

• Expanded Nightmare into an endless ascent with layered growth and new endgame progression.
• Nightmare rewards now drop directly through weighted pools, reducing extra selection interruptions while keeping each run varied.
• The backpack hero panel now includes a Run Build view that summarizes acquired Nightmare augments, run items, and emerging build synergies.
• Added new endgame entry flow, boss duel presentation, aerial combat feedback, and permanent town/game-speed unlock progression.

Equipment system rebuilt

• New equipment now uses a shared stat budget, guaranteed slot identities, and rarity-based affix limits. Existing equipment remains compatible.
• Auto-equip now compares the selected hero’s effective combat power and chooses upgrades across the whole team instead of relying on a static item score.
• Improved the one-click equip ceremony with clearer flight animation and final stat-change feedback.
• Added named relic sets, set resonance, build-synergy tags, expanded lore, and new codex entries.
• Added bulk conversion for basic inventory materials.

Combat, interface, and stability

• Wagered enemies now display a clear battlefield status badge.
• Improved multi-resolution layout, startup branding transitions, transparent-window switching, and expedition background geometry caching.
• Reduced repeated refresh work in hidden interfaces and fragmented ledgers for smoother long sessions.
• Strengthened delayed-node lifetime checks to prevent freed-object crashes across UI, effects, skills, and automation flows.

Feature availability note

• Monster companion and card-pack entrances are temporarily paused while those systems are reworked. Existing related save data is retained.
