Patch Notes
- Date PublishedNov 13, 2025


This update delivers bug fixes, a balance patch and the temporary removal of Ascendant mode.
Gameplay & System Updates
Ascendant Mode - Temporary Disable
Ascendant mode will be disabled from main menu until we can dedicate more resources to it.
Bug Fixing
- Resolved an issue where certain Illuvials displayed incorrect icons on the XP screen.
- Resolved an issue that caused a black background to appear when a new round loaded.
- Resolved an issue where the Ranger level calculation was slightly lower than the correct value.
Balance Adjustments
This update addresses the dominance of Air, Fighter and Behemoth compositions while improving underperforming Water-based synergies. Additionally, several augments have been rebalanced to provide percentage-based scaling instead of flat increases, and energy gain from damage taken has been adjusted to better align with Leviathan’s larger health pools.
As always, we’ll continue monitoring gameplay, collecting feedback, and making improvements where needed. Jump in, test out the changes, and let us know what you think.
See you on the battlefield.
