P.S. And here's a miniFAQ that was attached to the hotfix 0.7.1 info, in case you missed it:

Patch 0.7.2 Notes

Changes to weapons and gear

Changes to Koschei

• Stamina cost added to swarm launch

• Diminishing M1 projectile base damage for multiple hits of the same target

• Fixed looped Koschei’s reloading animation when no ammo can be inserted to the magazine

• Designer notes: Koschei is overperforming right now, mostly because of its unique M1 mechanic. We want to bring it in line with other weapons, while keeping both its basic functions and unique capabilities fun and powerful, so we’re apllying a careful, steady approach to changes. It’s possible that this is not the last change we make to Koschei.

Changes to Iron Cross

• Significantly increased the range of Iron Cross

• Reduced the range of Iron Cross Mysteria 3 from 200% to 150% of base range

• Designer notes: the initial range reduction wasn’t motivated by the spell outperforming. Because it was so massive, it had a significant impact on performance. At the same time, after performing necessary checks on enemies in range, the furthest of them still weren’t affected by the spell, because there was no clear line of sight between them and the Cross. So we basically wasted resources on nothing. We tried to reduce the range so it performed the same in most situation, but overshot quite a bit and nerfed it in the process. This is an attempt to remedy that.

Changes to Nemesis

• Fixed Nemesis wisps targeting wrong enemies from across the level

• Increased Nemesis wisps travel speed

Other changes and tweaks

• Changed the way how the player stats are displayed

• Designer notes: Easier now to understand if you are under base (<100), at base (100), better (>100) or total max for the given stat (200). Exception: HP and SP, that are basically points.

• Hermitorium arrival (short) cutscene added

• Watch Commander health significantly lowered

• High Executioner health slightly increased

• Velmorne miniboss icons should follow their position now

• Spiderwoman is now less susceptible to stun damage

• Tweaked Blackened Salt and Corpse Wax drop rates

• Tweaked the attenuation settings of the Gatekeeper’s power sources, to make them easier to locate

• Velmorne undergrounds, esp. boss area, render significantly faster

Bugfixes

• Fixed “mission complete” SFX not playing after killing Town minibosses

• Fixed potential progression blocker in Hermitorium (Sanctuary door not interactable)

• Fixed “Free Arcana Bead” incorrectly consuming required items

• Fixed Stigma Diabolicum critical damage multiplier

• Fixed an issue with incantations’ incorrect icon and type displayed in the Workshop

• Fixed cutscenes breaking sounds when leaving to main menu when they are playing

• Fixes to Crossbowman and Watch Commander behavior

• Fixed Effigies and Totems trap spawning

• Designer notes: these traps have been present in the game since early access launch, but their spawning logic has been broken for quite a while. For Steam players, it might be the first time they see them outside of the Duel event.

• Numerous visual fixes across all of Velmorne

UI changes

• Added notification star on portal in the Hermitorium which is displayed when there’s new destination available

• Made hotspots in the Handbook more snappy. They should now feel better to use, especially in cases when two hotspots are close to each other

• Fixed an issue with incantations having incorrect icon and type displayed in the Workshop
