BUG Fixes

Sub-rounds continue the state of the previous round and do not count as a new round. Therefore, enemy block from the previous round will persist, but Iron Headgear takes effect in the sub-round.
Ham attacks now cause stun (Tribal Warrior).
The Musician uses only melee attacks in certain situations.
Advanced 3 and Advanced 6 Oriental Musician no longer have ultimate skills; the ultimate skill is unusable, and they only play the flute for AoE damage without using melee attacks.
Stagger cards are not critically hit when block is active.
Fixed sound effect issues with certain buttons in the game manual.
Fixed an issue where the cross ability of the Photonic Stance switch would not trigger in some situations.
Abnormal distance judgment when player skill cards counter enemy basic attack cards (e.g., Death Grip).
UI Optimization

Reduced the brightness of temporary card labels.
Text Optimization

Outdated description of Greatsword Duel Stance (current Duel Stance does not change defense cards into attack cards but instead enters a reaction moment after a successful duel).
Incorrect description of Assassin's Breastplate.
English text optimization in character selection and tutorial sections (removed some erroneous "1"s).

Bug Fix: Champion battle phase transition error
Bug Fix: Abnormal behavior after Black Shield's phase transition is interrupted
Bug Fix: Time-stop-related bug (e.g., activating reaction moment during time stop)

Bug Fix: Unexpected interruption of Tribal Warrior's ultimate queue
Bug Fix: Card reduction after a successful dodge in certain situations
Bug Fix: True smoke bomb effect error

Bug Fix: Certain events might freeze when a controller is connected
(The current version's UI is not fully optimized for controllers. It is not recommended to play with a controller. Controller optimizations for the new UI will be released in the next update.)

Bug Fix: Stun tags did not work on multi-hit cards
Bug Fix: Dual-wield card [Adaptability] did not generate cards
Bug Fix: Treasure chests or inscription event sometimes caused the game to freeze (Although some helpful players provided the save files, after repeated testing by the development team and other players, we were unable to reproduce the bug. Our solution was to rework these two systems. If the bug persists, please let us know.)
Bug Fix: Assassination cane battle skill could not interrupt the queue
Bug Fix: Weather battlefield effects sometimes did not match the actual scene
Bug Fix: Certain internal test saves could not unlock new characters in the official branch due to outdated save issues
Bug Fix: Fixed English text issues for certain tags

He can precisely control the rhythm of combat, excels at using a rapier to attack enemy weak points or perform precise parries, and has strong offensive abilities and adaptability to sudden situations.

The new boss, The Killer, will randomly appear as one of two options alongside the Giant Boss on the first floor. He has lower HP than the Giant but is more agile, attacks more frequently, and fights with daggers.

Combat outcomes are now determined by a prediction system (instead of the old real-time detection during actions). Pre-battle prompts are more accurate.


Combat scenarios are now predicted by the queue system, including damage, confrontation situations, priorities, blocking, evasion, and more.
Additionally, effects applied in post-action phases now have tags, and interaction results are also tagged, such as effects or buffs triggered after a successful attack.

The game has significantly simplified trigger timings, reducing them from 127 to 45, and reorganized effects, descriptions, and timings.

The UI has been fully optimized based on the previous version, improving readability and reducing distracting elements.

When a parry is successfully executed or during Greatsword duel stance, players can enter an instant state. In this state, players can draw and play additional cards while delaying the original queue. This allows for more variables in the queue and new opportunities for offense or defense during parries or duels.

Now, successful parries can trigger the Sword and Shield Instant System.


After a chase, players will enter the instant state.


All weapon types and card categories have been thoroughly sorted. Some content has been summarized into [Tags], making the priority and synergy of cards clearer.
(Now, card action priority is: Special Attack Cards > Normal Attack Cards = Movement Cards = Stagger Cards = Skill Cards)


Weapons such as axes, swords, knives, small shields, and large shields now have basic traits. Each weapon category now has unique passive abilities to better reflect its characteristics, and weapon categorization has been revised.




In this version, all weapon and equipment effects have been reworked to better align with their artistic design and deck-building functionality. The functions of weapons and armor have been redefined: armor now primarily enhances defense through various means, weapons focus on offense, and inscriptions emphasize synergy or abstract abilities. Many inscriptions have been reworked, and new boss inscriptions have been added.


The Black Market now sells cursed equipment and ancient equipment. Cursed equipment comes with powerful negative and positive effects, while ancient equipment consists of highly specialized, powerful gear. Some previously overpowered items are now available here.



Unused cards have been removed or enhanced, and more versatile cards have been added.








Weapons and equipment are sold by blacksmiths, while cards and relics are sold in shops, and potions are available in the Black Market.


The queue system rework and tag system addition involved significant programming work. We overhauled the original damage calculations and queue mechanics. Previously, the queue progressed based on real-time hit detection like a fighting game. Now, with the new system, predictions are more stable and accurate. Future development of the arena will proceed more smoothly without large-scale internal program changes (new modes and content expansions will not affect the game core).


Next, we plan to release a new deck version—the Combat Deck—quickly. We will also focus on stabilizing and refining the existing systems, along with some adjustments to balance values. After the Combat Deck, we will begin developing and testing a new combat system and game mode.

In the future, when our game undergoes major updates, the old version will be retained for a period of time (it is not yet confirmed whether it will be retained permanently). If you want to experience the content of the old version again, you can right-click the game on Steam and select the old version in the beta branch (please make appropriate save backups; the save folder is named "SaveData").

We originally planned to have a large-scale localization optimization in this version, but due to the extensive content of this game update, there was not much time for localization optimization in this update. We will continue to optimize it, and we always remember this matter.


Thank you for your support! Your support has made the continued development of the arena possible. If you'd like to support us further, please leave a review on the Steam page. It means a lot to us. Thank you!
