VII. Showdown Battle-related Bug
1. Fixed an issue where the descriptions of some Anima Rings in Nirriti's Ruins contained [Souljade] and [Potential].
2. Fixed an issue where the Dark Tide Coins cost did not count to the Anima Ring [Wealth Confluence] in the Nirriti Codex.
3. Fixed an issue where the output of Carved Crystals and Shrouded Jades during the third and fourth Fatigue levels of some stages was lower than expected.
4. Fixed an issue that caused Vinemire's aggression to be lower at long distances.
5. Fixed the issue in Yama's Abyss Empyrean 2 where Omnius·Vortex (Real) might not immediately transform into Omnius·Void.

Feature Optimizations
I. Out-game
1. Optimized the logic for default equipment of new hero weapons.
After a new hero is released, the system will prioritize equipping them with high-quality weapon skins that you already own. If there are newer skins of the same quality available, those skins will be equipped first.
Note: If a player logs in after a long absence, a default weapon match will be generated for all heroes released during their absence.
II. Keyword & Terminology Adjustments
1. "Vaporize" type Anima Rings have all been renamed to "HydroFlare" type. This adjustment is purely cosmetic.
2. The name of the item "Alchemical Crystallized Soul" has been renamed to "Alchemized Souls". This adjustment is purely cosmetic.
3. The word used to refer to the grade (Common, Rare, Epic, Legendary, Extreme) of weapons, Armor, and Souljades has been changed from “rarity” to “quality.” Effects that previously referred to "weapon rarity" or "Armor rarity" (including but not limited to Takeda's Demonic Force, Tianhai's Vajra form damage and health, and the damage of Valda Cui's Water Spears) all use "weapon quality" and "Armor quality" instead. This adjustment is purely cosmetic. No effects that previously referenced weapon, Armor, or Souljade rarity have been changed as a direct result of this adjustment.
