  1.2.00640 - Balancing, UX and Bug fixing!

  Hello beautiful souls! After the bigger 1.2 update, we continued playtesting LHEA and found some areas of improvements as well as a few bugs to fix. Here are the release notes for this new update: Version 1.2.00640 BALANCING In TX, bridges are now always free! Slightly reduced the effect of Dodge and Cancel casts on the Karma meter Karma automatic increase frequency is now slightly slower on PC compared to mobile Karma Restore and Karma Runes timings have been adjusted for mobile and PC (Faster on mobile, slower on PC) Karma strike letter speed has been adjusted to be more consistent (5 times less speed variation between minimum and maximum speed) Reduced the Cooperation Twist of Fate possible impact on entity essence (From 2-6% to 2-3%) UX IMPROVEMENTS New feature that hints at rings from other presets directly on the Fate Flute timeline when you start having imbued rings on more than one preset! Applies to both the Fate Flute edit menu and the Duel timeline. Added hit animation on LHEA when Karma spell is complete and deals damage Slightly accelerated duel flow for both duel speed settings Reworded how to replay the introduction in the 'New game' popup Fading out music earlier when fleeing a duel BUG FIXES Fixed: 'Defend' casts were not showing the amount of defense points added to shield (Power, Fire and Water) Fixed: A defend cast and a State of Mind Block would both get consumed on the same incoming attack even if the defend cast was enough to absorb the entire attack. Fixed: Force resetting the Karma meter once the Karma spell is complete Fixed: Cooperation Twist of Fate was not applying essence increase properly to entities during duels Fixed: Shield strength was not reset when a Power or Time special cast that did not deal damage was blocked by LHEA (Ex.: Cancel, Leech, Accelerate, etc..) May the stars align in your favor!
