Enemy HP evaluation now takes enemy healing into account (in player's favor)
All types of Weapon and Armor have been generally buffed
Stat-boost consumables (eg. Lava Potion) have been adjusted
Boost increased from 1 point to 1-point-per-level, up to 5
eg. Lava Potion grants 1 ATK at level 1, 3 ATK at level 3, 5 ATK at level 5, and 5 ATK at levels 6+
Boost from external sources (except Equipment) capped at 3x current level per stat
eg. At level 5 with 14 bonus ATK, Lava Potion will only provide 1 more ATK
eg. At level 10 with 30 bonus DEF, Frozen Potions can no longer be consumed
Stat-boost consumables will not be consumed if they will have no effect
Stat-boost consumables with different caps/details/etc. may be added in the future
Various adjustments to accelerate leveling
Increased Base EXP gain from challenging (win or lose) all bosses
Increased EXP bonus from defeating bosses with the following formula
Victory: +40% of Base EXP
A-Rank Victory: +70% of Base EXP
S-Rank Victory: +100% of Base EXP
EX-Mode Victory: +200% of Base EXP
Early levels in general should progress faster as a result
Game balance and progression pacing is an ongoing process
Plans (Koda)
(Balance) Lily's swingy and inconsistent difficulty
(Balance) Method to avoid QTEs entirely for players with disabilities / laggy computers
(Balance) More immersive progression method than bullying Scarlett for Volcano Ash
(Ero) Some loose ends / minor details re. Lady Cobra and Yvonne
