;Changes:
*{{Ca|Shifu}} and {{Ca|Reika}}, and {{Pet|Masshiro}} are now available for owners of the Shifu & Reika Character Pack.
*Added new [[Voice Packs|voice lines]] for {{Ca|Star Breaker}}, {{Ca|NoName (Normal & Head)|NoName}}, {{Ca|Tequila}}, and {{Ca|Arthur}}.
*Added a visual indicator for {{Ci|Raging Madness}}, only visible to the user.
*Adjusted and improved unit card preview for {{Ca|Chris|Chris'}} summons:
**{{Ca|Chef}} and {{Ca|Store Manager (Chris)|Manager}} Rec values changed to "-".
**{{Ca|Chef}} and {{Ca|Store Manager (Chris)|Manager}} unit cards are now viewable in the card binder.
**The hover effect is now static like other card hovers.
*Players now gain an additional 3 seconds to the battle timer after each round of combat.
*Lobby password hide option now applies to the password entry screen.
*Changed {{Ca|Kyousuke}} character select portrait.
*Made battle AI consider additional damage when deciding to evade or defend in battles.
*{{Ci|Santa's Job}} now considers {{Ci|Price of Power}} when determining usable level.

;Fixes:
*Fixed the chapter count lowering in placement if holding {{Ci|Intelligence Officer}} as a non-{{Ca|Arnelle}} unit.
*Fixed CPU using {{Ci|Freight}} in Co-op.
*Fixed {{Ca|Tomato}} being absent from the [[Free Weekly Characters|weekly rotation]] pool.
*Fixed {{Ci|Rocket Cannon|Marc (Pilot)'s hyper}} not being upgradable if you're the only non-KO'd unit.
*Fixed cards handed out by {{Ci|Santa's Job}} always going back into the deck.
*Fixed {{Ca|Malt}} and {{Ci|Santa's Job}} considering {{Ci|Extension}} as Level 4 in the Maxtension mutator.
*Fixed {{Ci|Stealth On}} not lasting 3 chapters.

;Balance:
*{{Ca|Shifu Robot}} has received the following changes:
**Now starts and revives at 2 HP.
**Upon revival, gain -1 ATK for 3 turns.
**Auto-repair now heals at the start of turn if active for 3 consecutive turns.

:''Dev note: These changes are the result of long discussion, and meant to be a quality of life change for Shifu, not a balance change (though we recognize they will inevitably have an effect on his performance). The aim is to give Shifu more agency over the flow of the game by removing the outlier scenarios where he can be attacked from behind at start of game or right after reviving, without having any defensive options and almost fated to be KO'd. To not make him too strong as a result, the -1 ATK penalty after revive was applied in return. Similarly the healing was made more consistent in nature and player order is no longer a factor for how well it works. We will be watching how these changes play out in practice and may make further adjustments.''

*{{Ci|Miracle Walker}} is now free to play.
*{{Ci|Witch's Hair Lock}} is now free to play.

:''Dev note: With these changes we wanted to give more utility to somewhat underutilized hypers that don't give an immediate reward but can create fun play situations.''

*{{Ci|Santa's Job}} has been changed so that the effect takes place during Standby rather than end of turn, and players now have freedom to choose which card to send, or to not send a card.

:''Dev note: While already theoretically powerful, Santa's Job has been limited by its uncontrollable nature. This change is aimed to make Aru (Scramble) more fun and tactical to play, by giving her more freedom on the user of the Hyper.''
