  • Added icons that specify which particular Blessing was responsible for each damage, healing, and health boost during combat

  • Reworded descriptive text for some Special Skills
    • Greater clarity in Fiend descriptions
    • Unified certain phrases to "Special Skills that deal damage"
    • Unified certain phrases to "immune to status effect buffs"

    • Status effects applied to Fighters prior to the killing blow will be retained as before
  • Ninja Tower event pop-up no longer incorrectly displays for players under level 20
