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.
