Hello,
This is the development team of 《Witch and Council: The Card》.

Today, we released the 4th hotfix update.
Here are the key details:

1. Balance Adjustments
- Adjusted monster placements in Scenario Mode Chapters 2 and 3 to lower the difficulty.
- Reduced the laser attack damage of the Chapter 2 boss in Scenario Mode.
- Reduced the stats of Red Zombie (HP 93 → 76, Bandage trait 4 → 3).
2. Translation Improvements (2nd)
- Improved consistency in character names in Traditional Chinese.
- Made overall improvements to the Japanese and English translations.

While we strive to provide high-quality translations in English and Japanese, our small team does not include fluent developers in these languages, making thorough review challenging.
We appreciate your help in improving translation quality!
Please share any feedback about translations on our Discord or Steam Discussion channels.
We will actively incorporate your suggestions.


3. Added Features
- After clearing the scenario up to Chapter 3, players can now form their party from Chapter 1 when restarting the scenario.
- Tutorials will no longer appear when replaying the scenario after completing Chapter 3.
- In Rest Stages, players can now enhance/remove cards for all characters they own, including those in their current party.
- Fixed a situation where Sibylla could be targeted during phases where targeting was intended to be disabled.
4. Bug Fixes
- Fixed an issue where the relic "Mirror of the Past" (reduces Elite monsters' HP by 20%) only worked once.
- Fixed an issue where the shield effect from Della’s "Soul Binding" (creates shields equal to its value each turn, including bosses) would disappear immediately after being applied.
- Fixed a bug where exclusive scrolls for unowned characters could be obtained in the Treasure Room.
- Fixed an issue on some maps where certain stages were not properly connected.

We are continuing to improve the game based on our previously shared development plans.
Although there are still areas for improvement, we would greatly appreciate it if you could leave positive reviews (or update your existing ones) on Steam to encourage us further!
We will do our best to develop a game that satisfies all of our players.

Thank you.

Hello,
This is the development team of 《Witch and Council: The Card》.

Since the launch of our game, we’ve received numerous comments and feedback regarding game balance.
First and foremost, we would like to express our gratitude to all the players who have shared their opinions with us.

Currently, the development team is collecting and reviewing players’ feedback to prepare for future balance adjustments.
While we would love to incorporate everyone’s input, there are conflicting opinions that make it difficult to address all suggestions.
We apologize for this and ask for your understanding.

At the moment, we recognize that having only one chapter of 《Witch’s Tower》 limits the overall enjoyment for players.
Additionally, with only five characters, we understand that there is limited flexibility for players to create diverse strategies.
Furthermore, some aspects of the UI may hinder the smooth gameplay experience we aim to provide.

Therefore, instead of making quick and simple nerfs to stage difficulty in the short term, we’ve decided to take a comprehensive approach to balance adjustments by introducing 《new chapters》 and 《new character》.
Balancing the game is a process that requires extensive testing and verification. Rushed updates could potentially diminish the fun of the game, so we’ve opted for a more deliberate approach.
We kindly ask for your patience as we work through this.

In addition, regarding the much-requested 《combat tempo improvement》, after reviewing the requirements to achieve satisfactory results, we estimate that it will take approximately two months.
We aim to include this feature in the January content update, which will also feature a new character and additional chapters for 《Witch’s Tower》, but we would like to inform you in advance that there is a possibility of delays.
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused by the potential delay.

We understand that our game is still far from being comparable to masterpieces like *Slay the Spire*, which has been refined over time.
However, we are committed to improving and updating the game to ensure our players’ satisfaction.
Though there is still much room for improvement, we believe that your encouragement and guidance will be a tremendous source of motivation for our development team.

We promise to listen more attentively and work even harder to develop a game that meets your expectations.
Thank you.

Sincerely,
The development team of <Witch and Council: The Card>.
