New setting: Disable Cheat Death. Once you've unlocked the Cheat Death renown bonus, a new toggle in the gear menu lets you switch it off, so a lethal hit ends your run instead of reviving you at the last second. Handy when you'd rather die on purpose to bank your rewards. It's off by default, so nothing changes unless you flip it. Thanks Delka!

- End game bug fixed.

- New: Treasury preview. The Sovereign Treasury now shows what its multiplier would become if you died right now with your current coins, matching the other Town buildings. No more guessing what your bank is worth. Thanks Tagmon! - Fixed the hero name getting squished and wrapping onto several lines on smaller screens. - Fixed two Vitality Shop upgrades (Frugal Path and The Indestructible) that showed "+1% per level" when the real value is +0.5%. The upgrades themselves were always correct; only the label was off.

- New setting: Skip death animations. Turn it on to skip the 10s death animation. Same rewards, just quicker respawns. - The stats panel now lists crit chance and crit damage as their own lines, styled like the rest of the stats.

Vitality Shop Balance Update - Death Incarnate now teaches crit chance to every hero. Classes that never could crit before now strike at 1.5× or better when they do. - Fated Strike now grants crit damage. - Deep Lore effect doubled. - Stats panel now shows your crit chance and crit damage. - Already bought crit upgrades? Everything you own keeps working.

New: The Vitality Shop! (Thank you Delka for the idea!) Your Vitality Residue finally has somewhere to go. A brand-new shop of permanent upgrades: - 16 unlocks earned by clearing Echoes and maxing your heroes - Boost hero damage, critical hits, attack speed, coin gain, max HP and more - Max a hero and its signature strength passes to your other classes. - Handy perks: more offline Residue, shorter boss pauses, and auto-Awaken once a region's Codex is complete - An endless upgrade for the most dedicated adventurers. Your Residue is never wasted again.

- Death rewards are no longer lost if the game closes on the results screen. - Smoother performance during combat and when awakening regions. - Offline progress now shows up the first time you reopen the app, and very short sessions now carry over toward your next reward. - The "While you were away" summary now appears even when there was nothing to collect. - Stronger save protection, including a fix for losing rewards when switching universes from the death screen. - Additional stability fixes and polish.

- Offline progress now applies reliably; fixed cases where returning to the game granted nothing. - Offline progress now runs for up to 24 hours (previously 8). - Offline rewards now count even if you left from the death screen, the town, or a paused battle. - Strengthened save data to better protect long-term progress (Renown, hero ranks, and evolutions). - Fixed a rare case where clearing an Echo's final boss could block advancing until you relaunched the app.

- Bug fix with final echo closing.

- offline gains bug fixed (thanks illBeSonic!)
