• Applying Supports now increases the effectiveness of the attached Active ability

• Players can now acquire up to 100 Passive picks

We've also made several improvements to shield mechanics, tooltips, and build information displays to make important gameplay information easier to understand.

Balance and Gameplay Updates

This update includes numerous balance adjustments affecting enemies, supports, and scaling systems, including:

• Updates to Flesh and Bone, Unstable, and Bolstered supports
• Improvements to Multiply support interactions
• Removal of trigger chance penalties from all skills

Bug Fixes and Improvements

We've continued addressing community-reported issues and improving stability, including fixes for:

• Aura effects being lost after revival
• Summon-related issues
• Blood Thirsting Blade reset problems
• Localization issues across several UI elements

And many other fixes and improvements.

Ongoing Development

This update is currently being tested in the beta branch as we continue gathering feedback and making adjustments before release.

Our goal is to bring these changes to the live version of the game within the next few weeks, though we'll continue making adjustments based on testing and feedback as needed.
