Desktop Raid — v1.221 Update Notes

Dear Adventurers,

Thank you for your continued support and passion for Desktop Raid! This update brings fresh visual content, deep system optimizations, and multiple quality-of-life improvements. Read on for the full patch notes.

💎 15 New Attribute Gems

The gem system has been massively expanded with 15 new gems, adding more strategic depth to your character builds:

Basic

Special

Life Steal Gem, Thorns Gem, Swiftness Gem

Advanced

🏠 Home System Improvements

New "Quick Deploy" Feature

A "Deploy" button has been added to the Home building. Tap it, and all 4 characters currently stationed in your Home will auto-form a squad and enter battle immediately — no more manual roster adjustments. Battle preparation is now faster than ever!

Attribute Buff Mechanic Adjusted

Attribute bonuses provided by Home buildings have been changed from fixed flat values to percentage-based scaling. This means as your characters' base stats grow, the value of Home buffs scales proportionally, making late-game investment significantly more rewarding.


⚙️ System Optimizations & QoL Improvements

🛠️ Quick Forge Shortcut

You can now hold Ctrl and click an equipment slot to instantly forge the currently equipped item without unequipping it first. The forging workflow is dramatically streamlined for much smoother operation.

⭐ Attribute Affix Visualization

Attribute affixes on equipment and characters now display a star indicator:

  • ⭐ Marked: Indicates a random/rolled variable stat

  • Unmarked: Indicates a fixed base stat

This makes it easy to quickly assess an item's value and growth potential at a glance.


🐛 Bug Fixes

Fixed Game Launch/Exit Delay

Optimized resource loading logic during game startup and shutdown, significantly reducing potential wait delays. Entering and exiting the game is now much smoother.

Fixed Outer Realm Rocketeer Bug

Fixed a bug where Rocketeer enemies in the Outer Realm dungeon were not firing their rockets. With this fix, combat pacing in the Outer Realm has returned to normal, and the actual difficulty may feel slightly higher. Be prepared, adventurers!


🙏 Thank You & What's Next

Thank you once again to every adventurer for your feedback and companionship! Your suggestions are what drive Desktop Raid forward. If you encounter any issues or have ideas to share, please reach out via our community forums or email.

Happy adventuring!
