Another beta patch is here, Slayers! This one brings a host of balance changes, bug fixes, and new Epoch art. We've also begun to translate the game into Traditional Chinese (no timeline just yet on official support for other languages, but we'll let people know when we are looking for additional translators.) Perhaps most notably, two new Neow relics have been introduced, one of which grants a powerful, exclusive potion and the other a brand new quest card (with some cute beta art!)
