As a thank-you for your patience, all players can claim 240 Rune Shards straight from their in-game mailbox. But here’s the catch — you need to claim it before the gift expires 7 days after it hits your inbox. So don’t sleep on this and miss out.
Also, make sure your game is updated to the latest version before logging in — or you might miss the gift entirely.
What Was Changed in This Update?
While the servers were down, the devs got busy optimizing everything from character kits to UI clarity. For example:
-
Azi, long memed for his clunky drone behavior, finally got justice. His Skill 1, Ingenious Mechanism, now appears faster. Drones no longer vanish when you swap characters, and that strange Dodge icon bug? Gone.
-
Logos, Viola, and Nanna all received raw damage buffs, especially passive abilities like Note, Resonance, and Orbiting Blade. Talent 2 improvements also make Nanna hit harder overall. Along with many other changes to other characters
But that’s just character tuning. The game’s Tome of Fate system got a lot cleaner too. Quick Battles now show a Clarity meter in the top-right and prompt you to exchange clarity if needed. You’ll also find clearer UI when saving load-outs or upgrading phrases — small but impactful fixes.
Voice Line Adjustments
If you're playing in a non-English language, the devs have reworked some translations and adjusted dialogue + voice sync in Main Story 5-5 and 5-6. A multilingual nameplate bug was also patched.
Final Thoughts
While this patch doesn’t add new content, it smooths out enough rough edges to make the grind more enjoyable. Azi mains finally have a reason to smile, and system-wide polish makes Black Beacon feel snappier overall. For full patch notes, check out the official post here
