Age of Inspiration
Balance · Over-performing
EVS was already highly mobile and effective at schemes; placing several models and then letting them Interact was too efficient. The placed models can no longer Interact through this effect.
Alphonse LeBlanc
Rules cleanup
Warning Growl was made consistent about allies and friendly models, and Oops, Too Hard! now places its Blast relative to the intended target.
Alternate: Alphonse LeBlanc
Asami Tanaka, Oni Mother
Balance · Under-performing
Asami depended on Rift Markers but could not create them efficiently, leaving her activations underwhelming. She and Hunger's Reach gained better marker creation and support tools.
Asura Roten
Balance · Over-performing
Asura was simultaneously too efficient at summoning Mindless Zombies, completing schemes, and dealing damage. Her summoning and bonus attack were toned down.
Banasuva
Rules cleanup
A strict reading of the original wording could make Banasuva hit itself. “Target” was corrected to “attacker.”
Bayou Gremlin A
Rules cleanup
Two different triggers shared the name Gang Up. The version that counts nearby Peons was renamed Dogpile to distinguish them.
Alternate: Bayou Gremlin (Alternate)

Brocken Spectre A
Rules cleanup
Fall Into Darkness could place its target farther away than intended. Its wording was aligned with the FAQ and the action's original intent.
Brocken Spectre B
Rules cleanup
Fall Into Darkness could place its target farther away than intended. Its wording was aligned with the FAQ and the action's original intent.
Burning Man's Prayer
Balance · Under-performing
Building Fervor was too costly and clumsy for its payoff, especially when the crew fell behind. Call to the Burning Man and the crew's catch-up tools were strengthened.
Daeva A
Rules cleanup
Fall Into Darkness could place its target farther away than intended. Its wording was aligned with the FAQ and the action's original intent.
Alternate: Daeva
Daeva B
Rules cleanup
Fall Into Darkness could place its target farther away than intended. Its wording was aligned with the FAQ and the action's original intent.
Daeva C
Rules cleanup

DUA Alleyway Echo
Balance · Over-performing
Free Secret Passage and additional attacks made Alleyway Echo too efficient and too common across the faction. Loyal was added and Secret Passage lost its signature restriction.
English Ivan, Obscura
Rules cleanup
Fall Into Darkness could place its target farther away than intended. Its wording was aligned with the FAQ and the action's original intent.
Eva Havenhand
Balance · Over-performing
Secret Passage and Don't Mind Me made Eva an exceptional scheme runner, and she was appearing outside her keyword too often. Loyal keeps that efficiency within DUA.
Freikorps Scout A
Production correction
Sniper was added to resolve an inconsistency between printed versions of the card.
Freikorps Scout B
Production correction
Sniper was added to resolve an inconsistency between printed versions of the card.
Freikorps Scout C
Production correction
Sniper was added to resolve an inconsistency between printed versions of the card.
Frostbitten Prophecy
Balance adjustment
Savage was slightly overtuned across several matchups. Its crew-card effects and Numb-token interactions were narrowed to keep the keyword powerful without being oppressive.
Hunger's Reach
Balance · Under-performing
Asami depended on Rift Markers but could not create them efficiently, leaving her activations underwhelming. She and Hunger's Reach gained better marker creation and support tools.
Inevitability of Death
Balance · Under-performing
Jedza was under-performing and her cautious interaction with Death tokens lacked a compelling identity. She and her crew card were redesigned around a more aggressive risk-and-reward form of survival.
Alternate: Inevitability of Death — The Skeleton King, Forsaken
Intrepid Fate Emissary
Balance · Over-performing
Its speed, healing, and unrestricted Stalwart Protector were warping play. Its movement was reduced and Stalwart Protector became once per activation, with extra range as compensation.
Jedza, Everlasting
Balance · Under-performing
Jedza was under-performing and her cautious interaction with Death tokens lacked a compelling identity. She and her crew card were redesigned around a more aggressive risk-and-reward form of survival.
Alternate: The Skeleton King, Forsaken
Jin Baccara
Rules cleanup
Fall Into Darkness could place its target farther away than intended. Its wording was aligned with the FAQ and the action's original intent.
Alternate: Mr. Invisible
Kirai Ankoku, Envoy of the Court
Rules cleanup
Two different triggers shared the name Gang Up. The version that counts nearby Peons was renamed Dogpile to distinguish them.
Alternate: Haunted Harmony — Kirai Ankoku
Loyalty Revitalized
Balance · Over-performing
Mei Feng's crew was too mobile and durable, while Tiger Strike and Constant Motion gave her excessive threat and action efficiency. Their movement and trigger access were reduced.
Alternate: Loyalty Revitalized — Gumdrop
Malisaurus Rex
Balance · Over-performing
Malisaurus Rex delivered too much value at Cost 9, so its Cost was increased to 10.
Mei Feng, Sentinel of Steel
Balance · Over-performing
Mei Feng's crew was too mobile and durable, while Tiger Strike and Constant Motion gave her excessive threat and action efficiency. Their movement and trigger access were reduced.
Alternates: Gumdrop, Gumdrop

Night Terror A
Artwork update
This card received updated artwork only; its rules did not change.
Nightcrawler Netw Ork
Balance · Over-performing
Strong scheme running and a Damage 3 attack made the Network too common across Guild crews. It gained Loyal, increased to Cost 9, and its Camera Bot placement was constrained.
Piglet A
Production correction
Piglet became Minion (3) because its production box and mould supply three models.
Alternate: Minicorn A
Piglet B
Production correction
Piglet became Minion (3) because its production box and mould supply three models.
Alternate: Minicorn B
Piglet C
Production correction
Piglet became Minion (3) because its production box and mould supply three models.
Qi and Gong Yasunori
Balance · Over-performing
Fan the Storm could be used three times to propel a crew, and Versatile made that available across the faction. It is now once per activation with a higher target number.
Red Library Story of Suzaku
Balance · Over-performing
Hard to Kill combined too strongly with the Storyteller crew card's Demise effect. It was replaced by Demise (Rift of Rebirth), preserving its Oni role without the same Red Library durability.
Seamus aka Sebastian Baker
Balance · Under-performing
This Seamus required too many setup steps, was overshadowed by The Last Breath, and lacked a clear role. He and Urban Legend were redesigned for scheme running and denial.
Skeeter A
Rules cleanup
Two different triggers shared the name Gang Up. The version that counts nearby Peons was renamed Dogpile to distinguish them.
Skeeter B

Squish and Squash
Balance · Over-performing
Squish and Squash supplied excessive personal and crew mobility at Cost 5. Leap Frog and its triggers were restricted, and Ramming Speed was removed.
The Offering Endures
Balance adjustment
Savage was slightly overtuned across several matchups. Its crew-card effects and Numb-token interactions were narrowed to keep the keyword powerful without being oppressive.
The Syzygy Sisters
Balance · Over-performing
The Sisters were too mobile, deadly, and effective at schemes for one model. Perfected Form and Fallow Night were restricted, and their Speed was reduced.
Urban Legend
Balance · Under-performing
This Seamus required too many setup steps, was overshadowed by The Last Breath, and lacked a clear role. He and Urban Legend were redesigned for scheme running and denial.
