Patch 1.1 for Shadowveil is Live!

“Invite your soldiers to your heart; when you face the darkness, you will not stand alone.” – The Book of Sun Tao

A major patch for Shadowveil: Legend of the Five Rings has been released! With the new content included in the patch, players have access to new mechanics that open additional avenues of gameplay, as well as new artwork and models that enhance the visual and user experience in the game.

The latest patch features three new ability cards per class, giving players more builds and combinations to experiment with. These eighteen new abilities are unlocked from the start, so you’ll be able to further vary your expedition’s tactics whether you’re playing the game for the first time or starting a fresh playthrough. Heal your party with the Witch Hunter’s Stream of Jade ability, or shake off the enemy’s debuffs with the Rouse the Soul technique available for Tacticians, to name just two of the new abilities.

Also included is a brand-new item component, which can be unlocked alongside the other components in the Watchtower of Wistful Strife. With the addition of this item component, nine more item combinations have opened up to players. Several of these items allow commanders to issue new orders to units, making preparing for combat more tactical.

Visually, there are now unique models for the Lost Library Guardians, as well as another set of alternate unit portraits to help you pick out specific members of your squad at a glance.

Of course, the patch also includes multiple quality-of-life fixes, as well as adjustments to the game’s balance targeting how many units you can embark with. This will help to challenge players in the endgame and encourage more strategic consideration to overcome the final few chapters.
