Version v0.110.0Beta Released on July 31, 2026

Beta v0.110.0: Mirage & Pillar of Creation Reverts, Keyboard-Only Mode & Form VFX

The July 31 beta patch mixes balance changes with partial reverts of the v0.109.0 redesigns. Mirage and Pillar of Creation return to their pre-0.109.0 versions with small tweaks — Mirage gains Block from enemy Poison again and no longer Exhausts, while Pillar of Creation triggers on every created card again at reduced Block. The patch also adds a keyboard-only control option, a map Share button, new polished portrait art for many cards, form VFX for characters, and a wide set of Ancient, character and multiplayer adjustments plus bug fixes.

Art and writing

  • –“Potions” now renders gold and capitalized in descriptions; Slow power hovertip fixed; Diamond Diadem wording clarified; typos fixed in Abundance and Blade Symphony.
  • –Translations updated for various languages with fixes for French, Italian, Russian, Thai, Turkish and Traditional Chinese.

Bug fixes

  • –Uncommon cards now show up slightly more often as intended; players can no longer discern shuffle order in certain scenarios; run history is centered on ultrawide screens.

  • –Tough Egg can now have 1 more max HP; Decimillipede displays stats correctly in the Bestiary; Bellows properly upgrades the extra card when Pendulum triggers on turn 1; Dowsing now shows its Abundance card preview.

  • –Multiplayer: Touch of Insanity no longer sticks a chosen card, Feral puts The Ball into your own hand, Imitation Learning and Tutor no longer softlock with Replay, and players can Abandon Run outside combat again; the “Report Bug” button is hidden in error dialogs when any player has mods.

What this means for players

  • –The v0.109.0 Mirage experiment is over: Poison-based Mirage decks work again, and the card is stronger than before since it no longer Exhausts.
  • –Pillar of Creation decks get their engine back at slightly lower output; Regalite is now the once-per-turn version.
  • –Keyboard-only mode makes the game fully playable without a mouse or controller — worth testing and sending feedback to Mega Crit.
  • –Silent keeps churning: Outbreak as a Rare burst-Poison Skill and Sidestep as a Mirage-like Energy card shift Poison and Energy evaluations once more.
