| Feature | Description | Impact | |---|---|---| | | The blade‑slot cap has been removed. You can now equip up to 8 active swords (previously 4) and 4 passive artifacts simultaneously. | Greater strategic depth; players can experiment with hybrid builds without forced compromises. | | Soul‑Weave System | Each sword now carries a soul‑weave that can be toggled on‑the‑fly. Soul‑weaves grant temporary meta‑abilities (e.g., Temporal Stasis , Void Echo , Ethereal Guard ) without consuming a separate skill slot. | Dynamic combat flow; encourages adaptive playstyles and on‑the‑spot decision making. | | Unblocked Runes | Runes are no longer bound to a specific weapon. You can now attach any rune to any sword in your inventory, even mid‑run, via the new Rune‑Swap UI. | Streamlines inventory management and reduces downtime between encounters. | | Barrier‑Break Mode | A brand‑new combat mode that lets you break enemy shield phases after a perfect parry chain (3+ successful parries). Activating Barrier‑Break unleashes a soul‑burst that ignores all block mechanics for 4 seconds. | Rewards precise timing and adds a high‑risk, high‑reward tool for boss fights. |
