Optimizations & Adjustments
Buff Icon Improvements
Buff icons have been significantly improved.
Previously, non-special buff icons were only categorized as buffs or debuffs. Now, they have been divided into ten categories: Attack, Defense, Evasion, Critical, HP, Armor, Movement, Action Points, Attributes, and Multi-Effect. Each category now has its own distinct buff and debuff icons.

Balance Adjustments
Skill: \[Rain of Arrows]
If \[Rain of Arrows] is used on a Sewage Grid, the tile will be cleansed and the skill will transform into \[Purifying Rain of Arrows], reducing the effects of sewage.
At the end of the turn affected by \[Purifying Rain of Arrows], deal X damage to all enemies marked by the status and apply 2 stacks of \[Wet]. Also, reduce \[Flesh Aberration] by 1 stack for all units.
Hostile: Monitor
The Monitor can no longer be inflicted with \[Flesh Aberration].
Trait: \[Wild Blossom]
\[Wild Blossom] no longer deals excess damage to units with 0 HP, preventing incorrect kill attribution.
Trait: \[Twisted Echoes]
Adjusted the spawn position of the sonic wave visual effect when the \[Twisted Echoes] trait is triggered.
Bug Fixes
Fixed an issue where certain area attacks from characters failed to trigger the co-op attack effect of the \[Together!] trait.
Fixed an issue where Wreck Colossus could still trigger the \[Distraction] trait and turn while stunned.
