  PATCH 1.0.4 ARCANE ASCENT

  Welcome to this new update; here are the new changes we have for you. ELEMENTAL ENERGY SYSTEMWe’ve implemented the system for obtaining elemental energy from the gates. With this mechanic, specific bosses will spawn at the end of each tower, making it easier to progress through the Arcane Tower and obtain materials for crafting cauldron items. HOW IT WORKSWhen you enter an elemental gate and complete it, you’ll earn elemental energy. This energy will last until you reach the tower boss; then, the two most frequently visited elements will be selected, and a boss related to those elements will be generated. COMBINATIONSFire Snake BossFire + Earth Mist Boss Fire + Water Lightning Chief Light + Water Blood Chief Darkness + Water Mud Boss Water + Earth ELEMENTAL ENERGY SYSTEMFixed a bug where the Staff of Ultimate Power would only allow the use of its area-of-effect attack. Fixed a bug where the Elemental Staff, when performing its water or rock attacks, prevented the turn from ending.Fixed a bug that prevented the game from progressing past the final cutscene. Fixed a bug where area damage was reduced when attacking a group containing an enemy with a damage reduction effect.Fixed the scaling of the Lucky Die and Lucky Coin notifications. Fixed a bug where the “Air Walk +” card was not displayed correctly and did not apply its effect.Thank you once again for being the driving force behind Arcane Ascent. See you in the tower!

  PATCH 1.0.3 ARCANE ASCENT

  Welcome to this brief update; here are the new changes we have for you. CHANGES TO THE TUTORIALWe noticed that some tutorials were too long and a bit difficult to read, so we’ve shortened the most important ones to make them easier to understand and less of a chore to read. We hope this makes it more comfortable for you to learn the game and enjoy climbing the tower. RESOLUTION ADJUSTMENTSThere was an issue where, when using very low resolutions, some elements would overlap, hiding important content. We’ve fixed this issue, and now you’ll be able to play with a full view of all elements on any screen size.
