The official applied notes list these fixes:
- Localization corrections to Aria’s Bomb Arrows attack-count description and Theresia’s costume weapon description.
- Astria’s Slide no longer receives an unintended cooldown after learning Blazing Lightning, and the hero can rotate while using Slide.
- Fixes for abnormal Super Armor during Andras the Cave Predator’s ceiling-hanging pattern, unintended invincibility when switching coincides with a hit-induced Familiar dismount, and a 5-Star Equipment crafting result popup that could not be closed after the cinematic finished.

The final official Update Notes confirm these applied areas:
- Just Dodge, including its documented invincibility, guaranteed-critical, Active Skill Rage and Dodge Stamina effects.
- Lock-On control, retention, target-search and camera improvements.
- A one-second Super Armor protection for the Hero left on the field after switching.
- Balance changes for Lute, Aria, Tarte, Roxy, Astria, Kalsion and Dana.
- Multiplayer Retry, fastest-response lobby search, version notices, lobby fixes and departure notifications.
- System quality-of-life work, localization corrections and listed bug fixes.
Final-notes boundary: these applied claims come from the final 1.0.11 Update Notes, not merely from the earlier preview.
Release history: 1.0.10
- Update 1.0.10 remains a historical applied release dated August 19, 2026.
- 1.0.7 remains historical context for Quick Entry, the former matching-range setting, map pins and Rune changes.
Coming Next / announced, not released
The official Ryza teaser, published September 17, 2026 KST (September 16 UTC), announces her arrival in October 2026. This is a planned month, not an exact release day or an applied-update notice. Othello Hero Quest and Hunt Hell Mode still have no confirmed dates. These items are not included as released content in the final 1.0.11 or 1.0.12 Update Notes:
- Ryza (Playable Hero) — announced for October 2026; exact day unknown; not confirmed released.
- Othello Hero Quest — Announced / date unknown.
- Hunt Hell Mode — Announced / date unknown.
Later / date unknown
- Earlier official roadmap material also names Jerome, Veronica and Logan as planned Heroes, alongside broader Hero Quest, Rift and multiplayer Raid direction. Their dependable release dates remain unknown.
- The roadmap does not establish a current console launch date, cross-platform play or story/open-world co-op.
Evidence B boundary: the roadmap and official Steam announcements are primary sources. Community pages may help identify questions, but they do not upgrade a feature, date, platform or character claim.
For current system changes, continue to the Rune guide or the build framework; those pages own their narrower intents.
