BUGS

• Kestrel's Passive ability, "Dimension Hopper," was incorrectly granting her additional Health due to an enemy Kestrel.

• The Red Star Orb was not appearing as a location to find Dark Promotion Credits when searching via the Find button.
• Characters experienced a shimmering visual effect glitch on the costume preview screen.
• Ability Enhancement Challenge rewards were delayed in appearing after using Auto Win.
• Silver Surfer's board was mysteriously missing on the Victory screen if he didn't get a turn during the battle.
• Kestrel's interdimensional travels caused her smile to look… off. Our artists helped her out.
