Summary
Daily Leaderboard Overhaul
This update completely redesigns the Daily Leaderboard system to prioritize fair play and clarity. Leaderboards are now restricted to friends-only (global view coming later) and use a new scoring schema that prioritizes winning, badge count, and completion time over previous 'magic numbers.' Additionally, the Beta and Main branches now maintain separate leaderboards.
Content & Balance
The Ironclad receives a significant survivability boost with the new 'Not Yet' healing card and the move of 'Colossus' to the Uncommon pool. The Silent sees a major shift as 'Acrobatics' moves to Uncommon to address its high pick rate, while 'Follow Through' has been reworked into a Common attack. Three new Neow-specific relics have been added to increase starting variety.
Enemy Adjustments
Several Act 1 enemies have been nerfed to reduce early-game 'spikiness.' The Doormaker, Living Fog, and Byrdonis have all received stat or mechanic reductions to make encounters more manageable.
