    Nightfall Cost Reduction & Gear Buffs (v0.195)

    Huge Nightfall economy update. Series T1 crafting is now priced by gear type: weapons drop from 1M → 500k Wen and 1000 → 500 Scraps/Thread; outfits drop to 400k Wen, 400 Scraps/Thread, and 3 set materials instead of 5; accessories drop all the way to 200k Wen, 200 Scraps/Thread, and 2 set materials. Accessory tier-ups are cheaper too — T2 is 750k → 450k and T3 is 1.5M → 750k, while weapon and outfit tier-ups stay the same. Anyone who already crafted Series gear gets the difference refunded automatically. Nightfall also got buffed: Bleed is 0.4% → 0.5% max HP per tick, Serpent Katana Additional Damage is 3.5 → 4, Top/Bottom go from 1.15 → 2 Additional Damage, 1.7% → 3% Damage Factor, and 58 → 95 Stamina, while Cape goes from 90 → 120 Health and 58 → 80 Stamina plus new +1.5 Additional Damage and +2% Damage Factor. Firstlight also got a balance pass: Bladed Wagasa, Spear, Tanto, and War Fans had their accidental Nightfall stats fixed to 4 Additional Damage, the same 14.8% Damage Factor as Firstlight Katana, and higher Block Points/Regen. Firstlight Top/Bottom go 63 → 100 Stamina and 4.6% → 5% Damage Reduction; Mask goes 160 → 180 Health and 63 → 75 Stamina; Lantern goes 1.15 → 5 Block Points, 100 → 130 Health, 40 → 90 Stamina, and gains +1 flat Damage Reduction. Firstlight Top/Bottom at the tower now cost 500k → 200k Wen and 750 → 400 Scraps/Thread, with the 500k point cost unchanged. Daybreak Guard cooldown is 1s → 1.5s. Loadouts now save vanity and boost titles. Ranked no longer matches you with players you cannot gain points from, and players who have held active VIP for at least a month can now play Ranked without Roblox account verification.

    Matchmaking & Serpent Key Fix (v0.191)

    Matchmaking: fixed ranked/arena queue getting stuck, fixed party members freezing on the countdown, ranked now prioritizes fresh opponents (only rematches after 3 games if no one else is available), leaderboards always show names + exact rank for top 100, and ranked rank / Ouwigahara “Best · #rank” now update live on the main menu. World: Nightfall Serpent Key fix — keys you pick up or already tried at the Serpent Box now stay gone for you even after rejoining. No more grabbing the same wrong key twice.

  5. Sep 26, 2026

    Balance Update (v0.182)

    Broad buff pass across six styles. Pyrokinesis's Blood Tiles (Z) has less endlag and Blood Rupture (Ultimate) dashes 20% faster and further. Tai Chi's Twin Harmony (X) moves 50% faster. Wind's Z, X, C, and V deal 30% more block damage, with X/C windup down 0.05s and C's long-range tornado 25% faster. Insect's Hundred-Legged Zigzag (V) chases 1s sooner and its cooldown drops 20s → 18s, while Fluttering Sting (C) drops 18s → 16s. Sound's Roar (X) breaks guards again. Obi is the biggest winner: Obi Barrage (Z) hits deal 150% more block damage (final slash +40%), Obi Pursuit (X) and Obi Grab (C) deal 40% more block damage, Obi Field (V) has 25% less delay between traps and 30% more trap damage, and Obi Charge (Ultimate) can no longer be interrupted. Tomioka's Tidal Blood slow doubles in strength and duration (10% for 3s → 20% for 5s), and Water's Clarity damage per stack rises 3% → 5%. On the PvE side, Arrow's Arrow Flight (Z) deals 35% more damage to NPCs/bosses, Blood Manipulation's On Slaught (C) gets +10% damage scaling against them, and Dream's X and Z both gain +20% damage scaling against NPCs/bosses.

  6. Sep 25, 2026

    Balance & QoL Update (v0.18)

    Biggest grind change: World Events Chests now drop 2–5 Coin Pouches instead of 2–3, meaningfully speeding up Nightfall and Firstlight farming. Both outfit sets got new Tier 3 set bonuses — Firstlight's 'First Light' heals 8% and cuts incoming damage 30% for 4s when you drop below 30% HP (90s cooldown), while Nightfall's 'Nightfall Hunt' adds 15% damage to enemies already below 30% HP. Clan health bonuses are 50% higher across the board, and Firstlight, Nightfall, and Titan gear all now get the same +50% Max Health buff as every other outfit instead of their old unique bonuses. Hagane and Togane both added Transfer tabs to swap refine levels or Firstlight/Nightfall tiers between two items instead of re-rolling from scratch. Boss Hunt rewards on private servers now scale with player count the same way public servers do. Plus a wide pass of bug fixes across Ouwigahara runs, dungeons, shrines, bosses, and UI.

  7. Sep 23, 2026

    Balance Update (v0.17)

    Broad tuning pass across weapons, Fighting Styles, gear, clans, Breathing, and Blood Demon Arts. Axe and Mace got a straight buff to swing speed and damage. Sickles lost a large chunk of Z damage and block pressure, while Shotgun and Umbrella each had their combo strings and stun windows reshuffled. All Fighting Styles received a base stat buff, and Reaper's Z now stuns in place instead of knocking back. Max Health rose across the board on gear, with Titan and the Firstlight/Nightfall outfit sets gaining the most. Kocho and Uzui both saw kit reworks alongside new PvP-arena poison restrictions. On the Breathing and Blood Demon Art side: Insect took a wide-reaching nerf across nearly every move, Water's Whirlpool lost most of its stun window, Blood Manipulation and Shockwave both lost block damage, Cryokinesis and Sound Breathing each gave up some safety, while Wind, Flame, and Pyrokinesis came out net buffed.
