Shade is the newest Hero to reach Kuro, and he brings a full knuckle kit from first job to fourth. Spirit Claw is the 12-line bossing tool, Bomb Punch clears the mobs, Death Mark summons a spirit that hunts everything near you, and Spirit Trap holds bosses in place while you work. Beginner Shades start in Nautilus Harbor, and both @town and @yeet send Shade characters back there. Movement Back Step is a 400 px backward teleport. Use it to reset your spacing without turning around. Fast attacks Flash Fist and Shade Strike are your quick hits, with tuned hit boxes and attack speed so they chain cleanly. Mobbing Bomb Punch hits 4 lines, from 184% at level 1 up to 197% at level 40. Bossing Spirit Claw lands 12 lines of 265% damage. Spirit Trap traps bosses only, so it will not waste itself on trash. Summon Death Mark calls a spirit that hits up to 10 nearby targets, and all three damage lines show on screen. Passive Strength Training goes up to level 20 for up to +80 STR. Levels 31 to 40 Bomb Punch and Spirit Claw can go past level 30. Buy each extra level from Jay in Henesys Ruins with Hawkeye's Blessing. SP itself still stops at 30.

BUG FIXES - SIXTEEN THINGS THAT NO LONGER HAPPEN Gauntlet: a disconnect mid-run no longer costs you skills or keybinds. They are restored when you return. Dawn Warrior: Moon Dancer and Equinox Slash follow your weapon and Booster speed, and no longer draw your character naked in newer outfits, hairs and skin tones. Bishops: Righteously Indignant no longer shows twice. Ironman: account storage is shared across your characters, so withdrawn items cannot come back. Summoning sacks: they only work on maps with monsters. Towns, the Free Market and fishing spots refuse them, and the sack is not used up. The Suspicious Mineral Pouch is exempt. Lucky Day Scroll 1.7x: works when dragged onto equipment. Blaze Wizard: Dragon Blaze and Flame Vortex damage numbers pop up one line at a time. Daily Quest: Elite Blazing Imp counts for the level 280 Blazing Imp quest, and the reward text is easier to read. Leafre in Flames: the minimap works again. A dropped connection keeps you online for 3 minutes , so a brief network loss does not log you out. Accounts stuck in the channel-change state can log back in. Fixed error 38 when entering the game with pending buddy requests. Fixed the client freezing after accepting or finishing a Maple Island starter quest. Guild creation no longer wrongly includes or excludes nearby members. Fixed "Unknown Item" showing in @storage for some items. Storage deposits go through when exactly one stack matches. A fox spirit on your shoulder, a princess on the hill, and six boxes for a full party. Patch up, roll a Shade, and go spend Silver Week in Momijigaoka.
