Decision lab / patches

A change list is not a decision.

Patches describe what changed. Players need to know what to do differently. This page keeps the dated entries and the run decision each one actually alters.

VersionWhat the note says it touchedPlayer consequence
Major Update #2, v0.107.1 (June 19, 2026)A batch of new multiplayer cards, new art, and animations for the newest bossRe-check party rules and boss preparation together; the same note covers both.
Beta v0.109.0 (July 17, 2026)Translation work began alongside balance changesLocalized terms can lag the build; re-check any non-English card name.
Beta v0.109.1 (July 26, 2026)One hotfix aimed at a specific localization issueA small version bump can be one narrow fix rather than a rebalance.
Beta v0.110.0 (July 31, 2026)Earlier card reworks were undone and new reworks addedCard advice can flip twice inside a month, so date every note you keep.
Beta v0.111.0 (August 14, 2026)Newest dated beta entry at the time of writingPast this label, treat a change claim as unverified until a note exists.

Dated index

Which page owns which consequence

A patch note is one line; its consequences are spread across the site. This is the routing table, so a dated entry can be followed to the page that works the decision out. The status vocabulary behind it lives on the version ledger.

Dated entryWhat the note coversWhere the consequence landsWorked out on
Major Update #1 (v0.103.2, 17 April 2026)The first large content pass on the main branchCard and relic notes written against the launch build are historical/cards ->

Cadence, measured

How far apart the entries actually are

Intervals below are arithmetic on the dates already in this record rather than new observations. They matter because a guide’s shelf life is set by the gap between passes rather than by how confident it sounds.

IntervalElapsedWhat it says about advice age
Launch 5 March → Major Update #143 daysThe launch build was the reference point for six weeks of advice before it was superseded.
Major Update #1 → Major Update #263 daysThe two major passes are the boundaries most guides actually need.
Major Update #2 → beta window opens14 daysA two-week gap between a major update and the first beta patch of the run.
v0.109.0 → v0.109.1 → v0.110.09 days, then 5Two of the five beta patches landed inside a fortnight of each other.

What a fix isA one-line bump can be a single localization hotfix rather than a rebalanceRead v0.109.1 as an example: small version delta, narrow change.

FAQ

Patch impact questions

How do I read a patch as a player rather than as a change list?

Map each change to the system it touched, the content it affected, and the run decision it alters. A raw change list is not the same as knowing what to do differently.

Has the patch pace changed?

It slowed after mid-August. Beta patches earlier in the run were close together (v0.109.0 on July 17, v0.109.1 on July 26, v0.110.0 on July 31), and v0.111.0 on August 14 is the newest dated entry, followed by a scheduled pause for a team break rather than a quiet week. A slower cadence does not mean the data settled; it means each patch carries more.

Does a patch note tell me which branch I am on?

Rarely. Notes are dated but seldom labelled by branch, so take the newest dated beta entry, v0.111.0 from August 14, 2026, as the boundary of what this page can claim.

Does a patch invalidate old card and relic rankings?

When a patch adjusts balance values, an old ranking no longer matches current value. Re-check card and relic advice against the version you are playing.

Which systems did the major update touch?

The update covered Workshop and Bestiary additions, the Boss replacement, enemies, multiplayer, and balance changes. Each of those changes a different run decision.

How do I stay current between updates?

Track the version label on any advice you use, and re-check a system after each update rather than trusting a summary written against an older build.

What came after Beta v0.111.0?

Nothing dated in this record. The entry after 14 August 2026 is the scheduled pause for a team break, and this page stops there rather than guessing what a later patch did. If a guide claims a change past this label, it is not citing this site.

The ledger keeps it current

Version changes touch cards, relics, Bosses, and multiplayer together. Read the ledger to keep a patch from turning into stale advice.
