Enemy combat tuning now matches the updated armor progression.

Division Changes and Seats Have Stakes

Changing division now costs Obols, while vacant-seat claims and challenges have clear rank and eligibility gates.

Changing division now requires tier 2, costs Obols and has a cooldown.
Vacant-seat claims and seat challenges now show and enforce their rank and eligibility gates.

Division News, and Faster Recovery

Every division now has its own news board, where authorized officers can post and authors can edit or remove their own updates, and officers can invest standing in a division-wide recovery boost.

A dedicated news board for every division, where authorized officers can post and authors can edit or remove their own updates.
Spirit Wellspring, a division-standing boost that improves out-of-combat recovery for every member.

World Bosses Pay the Realm That Fought

Claimable world-boss rewards for eligible contributors after a boss closes.
Faction-wide world-boss prizes: timed boosts to XP, Obol gain, or training stat gain.

Crafting Professions and Repair Kits

Become an Armor Craftsman or Weapon Smith, turn materials into gear while you are away, and make repair kits for the equipment you rely on.

Armor Craftsman and Weapon Smith professions, unlocked at tier 3.
Material recipes for gear and repair kits, with crafting that completes while you are away.
Repair kits for armor and weapons, made by their matching profession.

Take Your Dungeon Run One Wave at a Time

Dungeons now advance when you choose, solo or with a party, and simultaneous rounds keep shared runs moving cleanly.

Dungeon runs now advance manually, wave by wave, for solo players and parties.
Party dungeon rounds resolve simultaneously.

Your last dungeon reward summary survives a reload.

A War-Shaped Mission Board

Each faction now has its own mission pools and enemy rosters, so the opposition and objectives match the side you chose.

Faction-specific mission pools and rank ladders.
Faction enemy rosters, with combat kits built for their tier and role.

Portraits Grow With Your Supporter Tier

Supporter tiers now increase avatar size across portrait surfaces, with the same benefit visible wherever your character appears.

Every Faction Opens With Its Own Kit

New characters now begin with the techniques of their own faction, and the Voidborn and Lumen catalogues are ready to play alongside the Soul Wardens.

Voidborn and Lumen technique catalogues, including starter techniques for both factions.

Each faction now begins with its own basic techniques instead of the Soul Warden pair.

0.9.02026-08-28

Items Get Their Own Reward Track

Dungeons can now drop materials, and item rewards run through one shared path across missions, story quests, objectives and the activity card.

Item rewards across missions, dungeons, story quests, objectives and the activity card, paid through one shared grant path.
Blackrift Delve drops Void Residue to every member of a full clear.

Selling an item is exactly-once - a retry after a reload can no longer sell the same piece twice.
Using a consumable refuses a stale retry instead of double-applying.

Enemies Fight With Kits Now

Every enemy was re-kitted for its tier, arena opponents scale by rank, and tier 2 finally has a mission ladder its own players can climb.

Arena opponents are generated per rank, so sparring difficulty scales smoothly.
Two new tier-2 missions with enemies calibrated to what a tier-2 entrant can face.
Blackrift Delve, the first dungeon, with a boss-grade kit in its final wave.

Every enemy was re-kitted for its tier, with boss-grade kits carrying debuffs, damage over time and wards.

Non-PvP fights are bounded by a neutral turn cap so nothing can drag on forever.
Stalled encounters can be reclaimed instead of stranding you.
The Arena's turn dispatch and reward receipt were hardened.

Gear Wears, and the Repair Counter

Equipped gear with a durability bar now wears down with use, a broken piece contributes nothing until repaired, and the Provisions Shop's Armourer fixes it for Obols.

Gear durability - each equipped piece that carries a durability bar wears down one point on a win, a loss, or a forfeit. A turn-cap or other no-winner ending does not wear gear.
Broken gear contributes nothing until repaired, and marks your character's rail.
A repair counter at the Provisions Shop's Armourer, per piece or all at once, for Obols.

Gear is per-instance now, with each piece its own item and its own wear instead of stacking.
Selling worn gear refunds a prorated amount; broken gear sells back for nothing.

Mission Licenses, Bronze to Titanium

A second ladder beside rank. Every character starts on Bronze, certification trials promote you up from there, and a licensed mission scales its XP and currency by the license that mission requires.

Mission licenses - Bronze, Silver, Gold and Titanium. Every character starts on Bronze; the rest are earned by passing a certification trial.
A certification trial per rung above Bronze, one-shot per character, tuned to a fresh entrant of the tier below.
Licensed missions scale XP and currency by the license the mission requires, not by a higher license you hold. Stat and pool grants are not scaled.
One-shot story quests, cleared once per character, some gated on visiting a location first.
The Blade Sanctum, a briefing location in the capital where the awakening quest begins.
Your earned license shows as a badge on your character sheet and public profile.

Supporter Tiers Have Teeth

Bronze, Silver and Gold supporters get visible perks - name colour, larger avatars, and Gold unlocks technique slots 9 and 10 - and every account gets a session idle timeout.

Supporter name colours and larger avatars, by tier, across the game.
Gold unlocks technique loadout slots 9 and 10.
A server-enforced session idle timeout - 60 minutes free, 90 on Silver, 120 on Gold - with a warning and a recovery page.

Awakening Means Something Now

Awakening grants your release tier's techniques outright, Dominion is a goal with a real checklist, and technique levels respect a release-state cap.

Release-tier techniques unlock automatically when you awaken, with no separate learning step.
A Dominion goal panel on the Equipment screen, showing the trials between you and your second release.
Ascension: complete the trials, ascend, and gain your Dominion techniques.

Technique level caps are tied to release state and school: 10 sealed, 12 after the first release, 15 at Dominion.

Stat Reset

Pay Embers to return every trained stat to base and get a redistribution bucket per stat kind.

A paid stat reset from the store, returning every trained stat to base.
One redistribution bucket per stat kind, spendable back into stats of that kind.

A reset touches only trained stats. Pools, rank, experience and techniques are left alone.

The World Boss

A scheduled boss with one health pool everyone chips at while it is alive. Damage you deal counts on the board; a fight that dealt none does not appear.

A scheduled world boss with a shared health pool.
A boss page with countdown, health bar, and a contribution board.
Damage chips the pool while the boss is alive and its window is open, win or lose, and later damage still reaches the board. A fight that dealt none does not appear on the board. A fight a balance update retired mid-encounter moves neither.

Division Standing, and a Hospital That Gets Cheaper

Your division accrues standing when its members win missions and duels, and officers can spend it on a division-wide hospital discount.

Division standing, accrued from members' mission and duel wins.
A standing panel on the division page, readable by every member.
A Hospital Cost-Down ladder, bought by officers, cutting the full-recovery bill by up to 30% for the whole division.

A Main Menu That Fits, and a Faster Shell

The main menu's categories became tabs so the rail stops growing, the dashboard loads once instead of twice, and a pile of small annoyances went away.

The main menu's categories became tabs, and the app's type scale was retuned.
Dashboard pages are request-cached, so the shell costs one set of database reads instead of two.
Fonts are served locally instead of from a third-party host.

Dashboard page children render exactly once.
The main-menu tabs no longer bleed outside their panel.
Character-panel stat labels no longer wrap to a second row.

Parties and Shared Dungeons

Form a party of up to four, run one shared dungeon together, and every member earns the rewards.

Party creation, invites, accept, decline, leave and disband.
Party dungeon runs: one shared run, and any member can take the next wave.
Every member of a completed run earns the rewards.

Daily Objectives, Weekly Objectives, and the Activity Card

The dashboard now sets today's agenda: daily and weekly objectives with their own rewards, and a monthly card that pays out for every day you show up.

Daily objectives on the dashboard, each paying out when you reach its target.
Weekly objectives, resetting every Monday.
The Monthly Activity Card, stamping each active day and paying at milestone day counts, including Embers.

Every daily rhythm now resets at 00:00 UTC from one shared clock.
Missions no longer have a daily run cap or a 15-minute cooldown between runs.
Your character card shows how many missions you have run today.

Call for Help

Losing a mission fight no longer means losing it alone. Raise a distress signal and another player on your tile can join the fight mid-battle.

Distress signals. Raise one during a mission fight, and players on your tile can see and answer it.
An answering player joins the fight in progress as an ally, and turns rotate through everyone in it.
A quiet ally can be skipped, so a helper who disappears never stalls the fight.
Helpers earn assist experience from a win; the mission reward stays with the caller.
Support techniques can be aimed at allies, not just at enemies.

Ranking Up: Tier 5 Is Reachable

Tier 4 to 5 rank-up is unblocked, the XP ladder was re-sliced to honest anchors, and an experience gate is back for the upper tiers.

The XP ladder was re-sliced, and tiers 3-5 restore an experience requirement for ranking up.
Completing a mission no longer refills Resonance and Stamina. A pool-max grant raises the ceiling and refills nothing.

Tier 4 to 5 rank-up is reachable. A dead milestone gate had made it impossible.
A rank's full sublevel bar reads full even where the re-slice moved the threshold.

0.8.02026-08-13

Scout Is Tile-Scoped, and No Place Is Safe

Scout now lists only characters on your exact square, any valid region allows PvP, and being idle does not protect you.

Filter the Scout list by rank.

Scout lists only characters standing on your exact square. It used to list everyone inside a zone rectangle of up to 225 tiles.
An attack on a target who is not on your square is refused.
Any valid region allows PvP on your tile, whether or not it has zone geometry.
Being idle does not protect you. If you are awake and standing there, you can be attacked.

A Scout filter refresh was quietly blocking navigation across the whole app.
Duel invite buttons stayed clickable while the request was still in flight, so a fast double-click could accept twice, or accept and decline together.

Multi-Step Missions, Dungeons, and Errands

Missions can run across several steps and survive you closing the tab. Dungeons and Errands join them.

Missions can run across multiple steps. A mission holds its place and survives you closing the tab.
Quests come in kinds, each with its own rules. Story and Mission are the first two.
Dungeons, a quest kind that resolves across multiple waves of enemies, with a daily reset.
Errands, a pure currency faucet, as a Mission Hall tab.
Mission grades can be filtered from HQ.

The Run cap on errands was stuck at an early-rank ceiling of 200. It is now 50,000, so a high-rank character can clear a full batch.
Your mission grade no longer disappears the moment you claim the reward.
A resting character is now told to wake up. Starting a mission used to fail silently.
A combat ended early could leave a mission run stranded, with no way to finish or abandon it.

News is now readable without signing in, every entry has its own page, and shipped updates are tracked here.

0.7.02026-08-07

Stale Screens and Sleepwalking

Mission and Profile no longer show stale state after a fight, the Arena button works from a clean start, and you can no longer farm your own second character.

You can no longer interact with your own other character. Same-account PvP, Scout targeting, and seat feeding are all blocked.

Your Mission card showed stale status after a victory, so you had to refresh the page before you could claim the reward.
Your Profile kept showing pre-fight numbers after a combat ended.
The Arena's Practice button did nothing from a clean start, so a fight never began.
Sleepwalking: the travel map stayed interactive while you were asleep, letting you move before the server pulled you back. It is blocked now, and a Wake button is offered instead.
In PvP, submitting or fleeing over the fallback connection could act on a stale turn.
On desktop, a growing combat Chronicle stretched the Action panel and shifted the Strike button out from under your cursor.
The combat pages had no main landmark, so screen readers could not skip to the fight.

Two Characters Per Account

A character select hub, with one explicitly active character and fast switching between them.

A character select hub. Your account can hold up to two characters.
One character is explicitly active, and you can fast-switch between them.

Technique Power Redesign

Damage, technique progression, and technique classes were rebuilt together. Fights now run a consistent length at every rank.

Every technique has a class, which sets its training ceiling, how fast it climbs, and whether it can lose levels. You are warned before anything de-levels.

Damage, technique progression, and the technique taxonomy were replaced together.
A duel takes about the same number of turns at high rank as at low rank. It used to drag out or end on the first exchange.
The ability catalogue was rebuilt.
Damage-over-time effects derive their power from the technique that applied them, so a lingering burn scales with the strike that caused it.
Enemy stats come from the same formula your character does, so difficulty steps up smoothly and no longer spikes at rank boundaries.
Enemy descriptions are written in the language of the stat that actually drives them.

The weapon contribution to damage had been left out of an earlier rescale. Weapons scale with the rest of your kit again.
A brand-new character could deal 0 damage.
Several turn-order and stale-turn edge cases that could leave a fight unresponsive.

Equipment, the Quartermaster, and the Bag

A 10-slot loadout wired into combat, an item catalogue, a place to buy gear, and a bag to carry it in.

A 10-slot loadout. Equip and unequip gear, and sell it back.
Consumables are real items you carry, and can be used as an action mid-fight.
The item catalogue, where you can browse everything that exists in the world.
The Quartermaster's counter, for buying gear.
The Bag, for managing what you are carrying.

Level Up and Rank Up Moved to Your Profile

The progression controls now sit where your character does. They used to be buried in the Training Grounds.

Level Up and Rank Up appear on your profile, where your character lives. They used to sit in the Training Grounds.

Rank requirements are visible on mobile.
The XP display lines up with the real numbers.
Training was capped at 1,000 per submit while a tier-5 character could afford 50,000, forcing fifty separate submits. The ceiling is now 50,000.

Techniques Level Up From Use

Every technique banks its own experience, can be practised in batches, and learning is priced off a real curve.

Techniques level up from use. Each one banks its own experience, and level is per character.
Using a technique in combat earns it experience once per battle, for each distinct technique you cast.
A direct practice action, so you can train a technique without taking it into a fight.
Batch practice: train a technique many times in one action, rather than repeating a single submit.

The cost of learning a technique scales off a real curve. It used to charge a flat placeholder.
Technique previews and effect descriptions now reflect the level you have actually earned.

0.6.02026-07-29

Crownhold: Quarters and House Art

Quarters gets its own page and art, all 13 house tiers get final art, and there is a back link to HQ.

Quarters has its own page and its own art.
Final house art for all 13 tiers.
A back link to HQ from anywhere inside the capital.

Layout fixes so pages inside the capital render properly on every screen size.

The Division Seat Ladder

Claim a seat in your division, defend it, and challenge the seats above you.

Claim a seat in your division, and defend it.
Challenge a seat above you, and swap places when you win.
Seats decay if you stop defending them.
Your standing shows as a badge.

One Bottom Bar, and Mobile Layout Fixes

One configurable bottom bar on every mobile page, WASD travel, and a batch of mobile layout fixes.

Quick-access navigation, clearer rest state, and WASD travel.

One bottom bar on mobile, on every page, plus a Customize page to configure what sits on it.
The home panel knows whether you are signed in, and the Roadmap panel is now The Road Ahead.
Background refreshes stop after five minutes idle, which is easier on mobile battery. An active fight always keeps updating.
The landing page got a polish pass.

The profile sheet had no close button and overflowed the viewport on mobile Chrome.
On mobile bottom sheets, the close button overflowed the grabber header into the body.
Full-height pages are measured against your real viewport, so pages stop scrolling past their own content on mobile browsers.
Tab strips stay contained instead of overflowing their surface.
The gender dropdown on character creation is readable. It used to be pale text on a white popup.

A Bought House Now Always Beats Camping

From tier 2 up, a cheap house did nothing, because the camp rate swallowed it. House and camp now add together.

No existing house owner's rate drops. The top of the ladder now reaches 1,106/min at tier 5.

Sleep regeneration is now your camp rate plus your house bonus. It used to take whichever of the two was larger.
Every house beats camping by its full bonus at every rank tier. Previously a tier-3 player with a 15/min house regened at the 78/min camp rate, gaining nothing from the purchase.

The Race Roster, and Two A-Rank Soulbrands

The Unveiled is Voidborn endgame rather than a separate race, leaving three: Soul Warden, Voidborn, and Lumen Order.

Ketsuō no Gyokuza, an A-rank Zanjutsu Soulbrand.
Utsushikage, an A-rank Kyojutsu Soulbrand.

The races are Soul Warden, Voidborn, and Lumen Order. The Unveiled is Voidborn endgame, not a fourth race.

Reaching The Unveiled no longer implies a race change.

Tavern: Quoting and Reactions

Reference another post directly, react with emoji, and messages now stay for 24 hours.

Quote and reply, so you can reference another post directly.
Emoji reactions, with a composer for picking them.
Slow mode, so a room can be paced when it needs to be.

Live messages stay for 24 hours before they clear.
The post card and identity row were redesigned mobile-first.
The composer sits above the feed now, not under it.

Posts made only of invisible characters are rejected.

The Codex

A tabbed, race-aware reference that replaces the old flat help page, and explains what stats do.

A tabbed in-game reference, replacing the old flat help page.
It is aware of your race, so you see what applies to you.
Explanations of what each stat does, and how techniques and effects work together.

Every display label the Codex shows now comes from the game's own content, so school and stat names read the same everywhere.

Keyboard and screen-reader access to the path switcher was restored.

0.5.02026-07-22

Built for a Phone

A sticky bottom tab bar you can customise, a portrait-led character card, and a map that fits the screen.

A sticky bottom tab bar on mobile, giving you primary navigation on every page.
The quick bar is customisable, so you choose which tabs sit on it.
An on-screen directional pad for moving on the travel map, and a Scout shortcut from the map.

A portrait-led character card, and a wide banner layout on desktop.
The homepage was de-densified. It used to need a lot of scrolling to reach anything.

The map now takes its height from the layout, so it fits any screen with your tile kept in view.
Map labels were truncating to two or three characters, because each was capped to the width of its tile.

Labels, Filters, and Plain Language

Two profile stats were showing the wrong school names, the technique catalogue gained filters, and system text was rewritten.

Filters on the learnable technique catalogue, by school, effect, rank and Soulbrand.
Battle and training counts on your profile activity.

System text was rewritten in plain language, including errors, fallbacks and combat prose.
New world map and key art.

Two general stats on your profile were labelled with the wrong school names, because the labels were hardcoded in the page and never read from the game's own content.

No Safe Zones

Sleeping is the only protection from attack, duels open with a count-in, and Scout is visible to everyone.

A ten second ready-up count-in before a duel begins, so neither side opens on a cold start.

Safe zones are gone. Sleeping is the only thing that protects you from being attacked.
Every rank can see the Scout list. Rank gates whether you can attack, never whether you can look.

A Combat Screen You Can Read

The battle screen was rebuilt around a banded prose chronicle, avatar plates, and clear turn and defeat states.

An active-turn highlight, a defeated treatment, and tooltips on abilities.

The combat screen was rebuilt: a banded prose chronicle, avatar plates, and a clearer action area.

Techniques that only apply an effect, with no direct damage, produced no cast message at all.
An opponent ability seen for the first time mid-fight had no cast message, because its text was only loaded when the page opened.

0.4.02026-07-11

Scout, Sleep, and Houses

Find other players on the map and attack them, sleep or camp to recover, and buy a house that recovers you faster.

Scout: find other players out in the world and attack them.
Sleep and camp, recovering you while you are away.
Standard Houses, which recover you faster than camping.

Two tiers of PvP. A spar no longer sends the loser to the Hospital; a real fight still does.

Awakening Your Soulbrand

At Senior Warden your Soulbrand awakens with a rolled affinity and rarity, a name of its own, and signature techniques.

Soulbrand awakening at Senior Warden, with a rolled affinity and rarity and a unique name.
A curated Soulbrand catalogue, some entries carrying bespoke effects.

Typed quests, and a story quest for the awakening itself.

Duels Against Other Players

Direct duels against another player.
A win, loss and draw record on your profile and in the rankings.
Turn timers, at 45 seconds a turn, with the server skipping an actor who runs out.
Incoming duel challenges appear in your notifications.
Both players are pulled into the battle automatically, rather than one waiting for the other to navigate.
A flee option, wired through to the fight's outcome.

Forfeiting or fleeing a duel counts as a decisive loss.
A duel both players have abandoned resolves to a draw rather than staying open.

A stun could be chained indefinitely when its cooldown was shorter than its duration. Stun Resist was added alongside a guard against the lock.

Dead Ends and Rough Edges

The Help link stopped 404ing, defeat routes you somewhere useful, and preferences moved somewhere sensible.

A How to Play page. The Help item in the menu had been linking to a page that did not exist.
A Preferences tab for your bio, gender and creed, with editing moved off the profile itself.

Defeat sends you to your home HQ with a Recover action leading to the Hospital, rather than leaving you stranded.
Loading states are filled skeletons rather than empty grey boxes.

The capital facility menu went stale when you left the capital by one of the two routes out.

The Logbook

Round-by-round records of your recent fights, kept for three hours and shareable.

Battle History: a round-by-round log of a fight, kept for three hours.
A log can be shared, so you can show someone how a fight actually went.

The Battle Arena

Repeatable fights against rank-scaled opponents, a hub to find someone to spar, and experience for winning.

The Battle Arena: repeatable fights against a rank-scaled opponent.
An Arena hub where you can search for a player and send them a spar.
Winning a fight grants experience, from missions and from the Arena.

A rejected action no longer leaves the submit button stuck; the reason is shown instead.

0.3.02026-06-26

Effects, the Hospital, and Losing Properly

Combat gains real effects, defeat has a recovery loop instead of a dead end, and techniques can be trained and equipped.

An effect system: damage over time, stagger, recoil, drain, cleanse, and fleeing.
The Hospital, with a timed checkout, so defeat costs time instead of stranding you.
Train and equip techniques from a player-facing surface.

Combat consequences persist. Your pools carry out of the fight and the log names the abilities used.

The Hospital restores health only. Resonance and Stamina are never refilled there.
The Hospital and Personal Quarters tiles returned a 404 instead of opening.

Avatars, and a Tavern Worth Sitting In

Upload a portrait and see it across the game, and the Tavern gains editing, badges, and a rolling clear.

Avatar upload, with your portrait shown on your profile, in the character rail, and on your Tavern posts.
Edit or delete your own Tavern messages.
Level, rank and faction badges on Tavern posts.
Public profiles show region, gender and experience.

The Tavern clears every three hours.

Rankings, and Who Is Online

A public player directory with Strongest, PvP and Active tabs, plus presence so you can see who is around.

Rankings: a public player directory with Strongest, PvP and Active tabs, filterable by faction and rank.
Presence, showing who is online now, in the last hour, or today.

0.2.02026-06-14

The Shop, Repeatable Missions, and the Tavern

Somewhere to spend what you earn, missions you can run again, a public profile, and a place to talk.

The Provisions shop, selling instant-use consumables.
Repeatable missions, with a cooldown that scales by rank.
Out-of-combat regeneration, so pools recover while you are away.
A public player profile: identity, rank, faction, squad, standing and bio.
The Tavern, with a global room and per-faction rooms.
Character names are globally unique, and case does not let two players share one.

Squads are assigned at random on your first rank-up, and changing one costs.

One Continuous World Map

The small starting grid became a single 25 by 25 world with villages, zones, and a spawn point placed on real art.

Villages, zones and your spawn point are placed on the real map art.
Click the village tile you are standing on to enter its hub.

The starting grid became one continuous world map rather than a small tile board.

Map tiles shrink on a phone so the whole map fits the screen.
Entering a village no longer left you reading the wrong region, and movement is disabled while the entry form is submitting.

Progression That Tells the Truth

Pools grow toward your rank cap instead of jumping to it, the XP bar reflects the real curve, and rank-up has gates.

Rank-up requirement gates, so a rank is something you qualify for.

Pools train upward toward your rank cap instead of jumping to it when you rank up.
Levelling tracks your total experience rather than a separate banked counter.
Level up one level per click, and your pools refill when you do.

The experience bar reflects the real curve rather than a placeholder ratio.
Resonance and Stamina pool maximums now grow at Academy Student. They were seeded at the cap, so early training moved nothing.
Levelling up returned a server error every time, because a reward record was written with the wrong identifier type.
Your profile shows authoritative trained stats rather than a stale copy.

Combat Arrives

The first fights: a server-authoritative combat engine, a live connection, and a battle page to watch it on.

A server-authoritative combat engine, with a live connection and a dedicated battle page.

Your faction's basic attack is a free standard action, not something that occupies a loadout slot.
The battle stage is opaque, so the fight stays readable instead of competing with the background art.

The Capital, and Moving Through It

Tile-by-tile movement, the capital hub and its facilities, your profile, and the equipment surface.

Travel: tile-by-tile movement across the capital.
The capital hub, with HQ, the shop, the tavern and the training grounds as real destinations.
Squad Barracks, and the Captain's Quarters within it.
Your profile sheet, on its own page.

The character sheet: your stats, your pools, and where you stand.
Squad selection, joining an organisation and a unit within it.
