Dark Lord Promotion and Dark Lord Ascension
- Dark Lord Promotion can now grant a variety of effects beyond simple stat increases, allowing Promotions to influence the Dungeon and overall playstyle.
- Dark Lord Ascension can also grant exceptionally powerful effects.
Dark Lord Aspects
- The Aspect system, which serves as a foundation for Dark Lord-focused gameplay, has been added.
- Each Dark Lord has a unique Basic Aspect effect, with different Promotion effects available depending on the selected Aspect.
- This update introduces the Basic Aspect for each Dark Lord.
Ethereal Parts
- Ethereal Parts can now be obtained through various sources, including battle rewards, Exploration, and Treasure Chests.
- Ethereal Parts can only be used during the current run, but allow players to obtain and experiment with a wide variety of Parts without going through the more complex process required to acquire permanent Monster Parts.
- Various effects that grant additional slots exclusively for Ethereal Parts have also been added, allowing for a wider variety of Monster setups during each run.
Repeat Training
- The new Repeat Training feature allows Monsters that have already completed Training at the Sanctuary to train again.
- During Repeat Training, one of several randomly offered growth options can be selected to further strengthen the Monster.
- Each Monster's Training Level can be increased at the Training Grounds in Memento Mori.
- Higher Training Levels increase the maximum number of Repeat Trainings and allow higher-quality growth options to appear.
- This allows players to spend additional Node Actions to further invest in Monsters they intend to use as their main units during a run, regardless of the Monster's original Grade.
New Architect's Workshop Features
- The Architect's Workshop can now unlock several of the new features introduced in this update.
