Patch Notes v0.101

v0.101.0 Patch Notes Breakdown

Overview

Released March 27, 2026. This patch mass-reverts many of the experimental changes from v0.100.0 that received poor reception. The biggest talking points are the reverts to Prepared, Borrowed Time, and Capture Spirit. Regent got a sizable round of buffs and is being pulled out of its Weak-character slump.

Developer comment: "Prepared" is still considered too dominant in its synergy with Shivs, but because it ties so deeply into Silent's core identity, the plan going forward is to balance Shivs through a different avenue.
