Gameplay and fixes
Section titled “Gameplay and fixes”- Brandrgarde now supports solo play on Normal and Cataclysm difficulties. Choose the solo queue from the mode selector.
- Recruitment chat now identifies the server region. Tower elevators have railings, enemy gear-level dots are easier to read, and Collection Pedestal upgrades accept materials in installments.
- Rapid direction changes during movement skills, including Bloody Blade Dance, should cause less rubberbanding.
- Mercenary: Perfect Block staggers for longer, and Block Damage Boost grants a larger shield in trios. Its solo shield remains 5% of maximum Health.
- Mercenary fixes: canceling Punishing Hammer no longer distorts Light Strike speed; Leap Step, Dynamic Charge and Relentless Advance preserve their intended Super Armor during dodges; Insatiable Heart - Demolisher echoes no longer add unintended Titan Hammer Strike stun stacks.
- Withered Knight: Joint Pierce requires a successful pull. Auto Execution detonation sounds now distinguish allies from enemies.
- Shadowstrix: Phantom Shift and Free Movement have longer wind-ups. Holding the Flurry Strike finisher charge consumes Energy continuously. The first two combo strikes keep their existing Energy costs; the uncharged and charged finisher costs rise to 25.
- Shadowstrix: Deep Charge restores Energy when its charged finisher connects; Wound Buildup restores Energy at maximum stacks. Lurking Blow no longer grants its buff after damage forces you out of Stealth.
- Sorcerer: Thunderstrike deals uniform damage across its area. Flameblade and Windcraft have revised input buffering, and eligible instant basic spells can be cast while in Energy Overdraft.
- Sorcerer fixes: dodges no longer occasionally snap the character backward, and Flexible Casting and Stardust Energy buffs no longer persist indefinitely in the affected cases.
- Blackarrow: Steel Arrow has separate solo and trio cooldowns. Canceling Frostblight Bomb or Impact Grenade aiming no longer distorts Light Strike speed.
- Gyldening fixes address excessive damage and damage occurring before the progress bar fills.
- Moonprayer investigation icons now appear on the minimap, and the affected All or Nothing completion issue is fixed.
- Other fixes address interrupted mobility causing short teleports, incorrect microphone icons, repeated Victory Wine confirmations, and lost skill lock-on for Verdant Grounds Elite Greataxe Berserkers.
- Looting interfaces no longer close unexpectedly in crowded container areas or after taking the final item. Collection Pedestal previews now show higher-tier collectibles correctly.
- Console fixes address controller bindings resetting. PS5 also receives corrected Victory Wine drink labels and gem-affix descriptions that retain decimal values.
Other confirmed changes
Section titled “Other confirmed changes”- Limited rewards arrive through in-game mail: September 3 brings a 3-day Pip’s Rare Pouch Voucher and a Pro Combat Bag; September 4 brings a 7-day Rare Repair Kit and another Pro Combat Bag; September 5 brings a Premium Legendary Material Selection Chest and an Elite Combat Bag.

- Enemy balance changes include lower Cataclysm Attack for Elite Berserker, Tyrannical Executioner, Twinblade Warrior Statue and Flesheater; lower Cataclysm boss Health and Attack; and reduced Soulgnawer Health and Toughness across its listed modes.
- The exact tables include small finisher and Steel Arrow damage-scaling and Toughness changes beyond the headline cooldown and Energy adjustments.
