v0.9.9.7.6 — For Those New to Jianghu

On Steam

This update is about telling new players, inside the game, the things that were easy to miss.

For new players

  • Your master now tells you about Breakthrough. The first time you can break through, the Master's Whisper appears and the Breakthrough button glows until you press it. Hover over the button to see what a successful breakthrough gives you (max HP, attack, Parry).
  • Redraw is now taught too. In the first battle after the Prologue, your master shows you how to swap your hand, and the Redraw button glows.
  • Explanations for your own effects pop up automatically the first time. When you first meet stacks like Vajra, Karma, Flow, Scheme or Inner Demon, or Mind Arts and Parry, an explanation opens beside them. Click or play a card to close it; hover to see it again. So they don't cover the Master's Whisper in the Prologue, they start from your first real battle, and the same explanation never shows twice.
  • The control hint in the first battle and the first introduction of each enemy mechanic now wait until you click. The control hint appears after the enemy's first line.
  • You can now open Learned Arts and Recall on the Mind Art and Relic selection screens, so you can check your deck before you choose.

Combat

  • After a breakthrough, Parry blocks more damage.
  • Act 2 bosses and mini-bosses no longer hit quite so hard in a single blow.
  • The attack number Wudang elites show now matches the damage you actually take. (It was off on higher Nine Heavens tiers.)

Text and display

  • The Heavenly Demon Cult's sect description and your master's first words now say it plainly: attack is how you survive.
  • "Beads" in the Vajra description now reads "Bead cards".
  • Learned Arts in Settings now explains that it shows during a run, and that every art can be found under Chronicles › Arts.
  • The corner phrases on the Settings screen now show in Traditional Chinese when that language is selected.
  • Fixed enemy traits not showing in Nine Heavens fights where different enemies are mixed together.

Many of these came from your comments. Thank you, and please keep them coming.
