Beta Patch: Beta → Main Groundwork — Stability, Bug Fixes & Minor Balance
A deliberately smaller bi-weekly patch whose main purpose is to lay the groundwork for merging the beta branch into main. It is stability-first: a large bug-fix pass plus UI/UX/QoL and performance work, with only a few balance changes and art additions. Aeonglass is simplified (no longer applies Ebb), Skulking Colony is buffed further, and several cards across Ironclad, Regent and Necrobinder get tuned. Includes a new Defect power-up animation.
- •Groundwork laid for moving the beta branch onto main — this patch is stability-first
- •Aeonglass simplified: no longer applies the Ebb debuff; now gains Block on its Ebb move

Main Branch Patch: Beta Bug Fixes Merged to Live
The first main-branch update under the new bi-weekly cadence — a pure bug-fix rollup that brings tons of fixes from the beta branch over to main. Dozens of crash fixes (dying creatures, controller card pile, Linux combat and ICU), extensive controller/Steam Deck navigation fixes, and a long list of relic, event and multiplayer fixes. Note: the new Aeonglass boss and the Bestiary remain beta-only and are not part of this main update.
