Version 1.20.0 is out
Clearing a chapter boss for the first time opens a gate camp where you keep an expedition photo, and members who fight side by side now build trust and memories. From floor 101, each zone carries a trait you switch off with your lineup and specialties, and new named heroes arrive through Bond Quests and the Shop.
Gate Camp and Expedition Photos
- From floor 100, a chapter boss stands every 50 floors. The first time you beat one, a gate camp opens after the victory scene. It opens only on tower climbs, once per chapter
- At the camp, pick one of four expedition photos of the members who fought that battle and tap Hang on the Wall. Shots of a pair of partners or of the member who felled the boss show up as candidates
- The photo you pick hangs in a frame on the back wall of the lounge dining hall. Zoom in on the dining hall and tap the frame to browse past photos in the album

Trust and Shared Memories
- Trust builds between you and each member. It fills when they go on expeditions or take Rear Duty, and a bit more comes the first time each week you tap them in the lounge
- Trust shows as shield slots in the lounge speech bubble. A member with all five slots filled keeps their will through an ordinary year
- Two members who fight together keep memories of it. The game picks them out of battle, such as pulling each other through a crisis or crossing a gate side by side

Zone Traits and Specialties
- From floor 101, the tower splits into zones of 10 floors, and each zone carries one trait. Veil makes enemies dodge more often, Split makes fallen enemies break in two, and each trait changes the fight its own way
- Each trait has answer classes. A member of an answer class fills one slot, and two filled slots switch the trait off. With one slot filled, the trait works at half strength
- An active trait also raises enemy attack and HP. Members who fill a slot get 10% more attack and max HP in that zone

Chapter Preview and the Fork
- The departure card on the Tower tab shows the five zone traits of the current chapter as a row of icons. A gold frame marks the current zone, and tapping the row opens a chapter sheet with each zone's trait and slots
- The bottom of the gate camp shows the five zones of the next chapter too
- From floor 301, the road splits after the 25th floor of each chapter. The Rough Road has two traits in each remaining zone, and one slot per trait switches it off. The Wide Road keeps one trait

New Named Heroes
- Tessa Bramble (floor 101), Danmok Gyeol (floor 105) and Sigri Hailmoor (floor 115) arrive through Bond Quests
- Tessa is an Alchemist. Ember Flask hits her main target, sets embers on two other enemies and heals the most wounded ally
- Danmok is a Swordmaster. Half Plum cuts three times, then strikes the weakest other enemy once more. Sent out with Baekri Hyang, the Twin Plum Blades let each of them fill a Regeneration slot

Fine and the Mechanic
- Fine is a Mechanic, a class only she uses. She works devices from the back row, and Mechanics never appear on the recruit board
- Launch Bolt fires at the target and sets up a bolt. For the next four basic attacks, the bolt adds a shot at the same enemy and lowers the evasion of the enemy it hits. Bolt shots ignore evasion
- Mechanics answer the Veil trait

Changed
- Baekri Hyang, Yeoncheong, Brin, Rask, Durganthor, Mukran and Izel have new illustrations. Their faces sit in the center of small skill banners too
- Portraits on the member detail, recruit and codex screens show the upper body, so faces read larger and hair tips no longer get cut off
- Forge levels on gear read +N in place of a star mark

- Battles on some devices kept logging a shape error (Invalid polygon data)
- Horizontal lines flickered across the screen on some Android devices, such as the Galaxy Z Fold6
