Blood & Nectar Patch Notes
Patch 0.63The Talent Tree Goes Live
July 14–17, 2026
Twenty-one of the talent tree's thirty-six nodes get real combat effects — the tree stops being a picture of a plan and starts changing fights. They are wired through the engine's existing artifact hooks rather than new ones, so a talent proc and an artifact proc are the same kind of event, named in the log. Alongside it: serials on every traded item, and a match history you can read three ways.

Detailed Changes
CCecropsReworkQ is no longer a two-press ability. Golden Perimeter decides how it fires on the same turn, the same W-then-Q read the Sphinx runs.
QLaw of the Land
- W first, then Q: second press of a two-press Q⇒Sunder: single target plus an Armor Break stack, +15 Momentum
- Q without W: first press⇒Law of the Land: field-wide AoE and the Armor Break shatter, +10 Momentum (was net 0 as the old second press)
⚙
SYSTEMS
⚔️ Talents in Combat
Passive talent effects wired into the fight — 11 nodes, then 15, then 21, each named in the combat log.
♻️ Reuse, Not Rewrite
Talents run through the artifact effect layer instead of bespoke hooks, so one fix lands on both.
🔢 Fair-Trade Serials
Every tradeable item carries a serial, with a tool that audits the ledger against real holdings and heals the drift.
📜 Match History, Three Ways
Versus and List layouts, quest-style ANSI cards, and a Damage Meter with per-champion damage.
🌳 Web Talents
A standalone builder page, session-gated, with the level gate re-validated server-side rather than trusted from the browser.
🎒 Per-Champion Loadout
Talent page, artifact and potion travel together as one loadout, set from card inspect.
🚀 Deploy on Push
CI deploys beta and live on push to main — the whole thing becomes phone-operable.
Full Patch Notes
- Wired talent nodes into combat in four passes — 10, then 11, then 15, then 21 of 36 live — and named every one of them in the combat log.
- Rebuilt talent effects on top of the existing artifact effect system instead of inventing parallel hooks.
- Added a demo admin picker and an in-draft picker in the Olympiad UI, so a build can be set and playtested without a real match.
- Shipped fair-trade serials with per-item spare-recipe rows, a grant tool, and a reconcile script to audit and heal the ledger.
- Fixed a race where the first mint beat its own CREATE TABLE — the migration is awaitable now.
- Gave match history Versus/List layouts, username labels, result-in-title, and a third Damage Meter view.
- Rebuilt the inventory list pages as plain monospace tables with full live names, two tables side by side.
- Capped the Deck Builder equip select at 25 options, fixing an "invalid number" crash for anyone holding 25+ potions and artifacts.
- Cecrops: W now decides how Q fires, dropping the two-press pattern.
