ADW: A Villain's Heart
New 1.3 Update
Update v.1.3
Added Mission 4: Prepare for War!
An extra 7 in-game days of new daily tasks. 2 New Locations in the Castle, The Mage Tower and the Practice Grounds. New Foreshadowing Dream Sequences and mornings with your assistant Watermage.
Added Warfare Combat- Deploy 3 parties at once for best 2 out of 3 rounds for added strategy. Winning 3/3 in the warfare practice matches will award extra loyalty to elite units.
Added Daily Meditation- Visiting Deita in the tower will gift you a meditation book. Use it in your room to increase loyalty daily with a chosen faction or element. Have a chance to increase bond with a chosen elite from 2-4 loyalty.
Added Deployable Elite Character: Miyetta the Cursed Queen and Beileph the Strategic Scholar. Each has their own bond conversations 1-4.
Added Romance Route bond conversations 5, 6 for Mikaylis, Jeth, Deita
Loyalty 75 is required to access bond level 5. It is possible to gain bond lvl5 with all 3 LIs but once you accept an eternal pendant from one of them you will be locked into that LI’s romance Route and will have bond lvl6 available the next day. You only have one chance to accept the pendant and once you have accepted a pendant, you cannot accept any others.
**Deita’s bond convos are time locked. Convo 5 is available 2 days before departure and convo 6 is available 1 day before departure.
Added Ultimate Morale Skills for Mikaylis, Jeth, Deita
Gaining bond lvl 6 will unlock the character’s Ultimate Morale Skill. This is a mana based command that can only be used once per battle and only when that specific unit is deployed. New Sprite Art is added for Using the Morale Skill in battle.
Backstab (Jeth's Ultimate costs 2 Mana) Jeth inflicts 1d10 + Jeth's bond level unblockable damage in a preemptive strike. "Trust in me to always keep a clear path for you-"
Guardian (Mikaylis's Ultimate costs 4 Mana) Party heals to max HP + Mikaylis dramatically boosts his dice value until the end of battle. "I absolutely can't allow anything to happen to you... Otherwise this shield is meaningless!"
Ideal Fate (Deita's Ultimate costs 5 Mana) Party's next roll will be a guaranteed triple with the highest possible roll. Turn fate will also trigger on the enemy that same skirmish round. "I will find a way to turn this fate to a happy ending-"

Okay, I'm officially addicted to this game. I went for Mikaylis first and his backstory caught me off guard. Also I restarted my playthrough and omg the silent anger in him, I literally was just going to spend time with Jeth cuz the queen said so and he suddenly was "no come to dungeon with me" I said "nope" when he suddenly got super possessive and punched the wall, it caught me so off guard O.O and not the knights just cleaning up the mess he left behind like nothing happened!! LMAO
I had trouble triggering Jeth's 5 bond level. So I ended doing 3 playthroughs trying for him, it only triggered on the last playthrough when I kept him and Mikaylis at the same bond lvl. I figured this was my fault cuz I had kept rejecting him? lol (i feel theres re-occuring pattern here with me and leading these guys on) Once I kept accepted his feelings it took being over 75 for it show, not sure if bug or my fault XD
Theres also a bug with Belieph 1st bond convo showing up before he's even introduced? I was like who is this??? XD
Also I want to mention I really like the scenes where the other LIs notice the pendant, the reactions are so so good. also Jeth's super move "BackStab" hahahaha i see what you did there. As you can see I'm a huge fan, please keep up the great work. I will wait patiently for the next update.
ooh thank you so much for the bug report! I will have that fixed the next update. And just for clarification, if you "reject" the LIs advances you can still gain respect + bond level but you don't gain their affection. Affection is also needed along with loyalty for bond lvl 5 and 6 so I'm guessing that might have been what happened with your Jeth routes getting blocked. its possible to advance the game though without bond lvl5/6 (there's a no romance route). So glad you pointed out things like Mikaylis punching the wall and the LIs getting all salty and jealous when you have another pendant, as these are optional scenes that I spend a lot of extra time writing that have no bearing on the main story and can be completely skipped or replaced variant text depending on the player choices. Still I had a feeling that these details are important and worth the effort to contribute to the overall experience. <3 Thanks again for all your feedback it's really encouraged me to tackle these endings. Oof endings are so tough to write!
Ahhhh, I'm so excited!!! I love this game so much. I'm stuck between Jeth and Mikaylis...
Time to decide... Who's the best boy? (Make alternate save files!)
