This patch brings targeted adjustments to synergies, illuvials, and augments that were identified as overperforming or underperforming. Following our recent class adjustments, we are now introducing new thresholds for affinities to further refine balance. Additionally, various bug fixes and tooltip improvements have been implemented to enhance gameplay clarity.
