Check the Slotbound 1.0 changes that affect current guides: Collection access, early-stage rewards, difficulty, display controls and fixed promotion behavior.

Slotbound Guide Desk · Reviewed · 1.0 release / historical demo observations labeled

The latest checked v1.0.0 (8) update adds in-run Collection access with C or gamepad View, changes a Fate Stone quest and fixes Golden Lever with X2. Earlier hotfixes changed early-stage difficulty and rewards.

Latest checked change: v1.0.0 (8)

The official news feed was checked on November 16, 2026. This is a practical summary of the retrieved announcements, not a live updater or a complete patch archive.

  • Collection during a run: use the tab on the right of the battlefield, C, or the gamepad View button. It also opens during Class Promotion. This is the place to cross-check a unit before applying a historical build guide.
  • Fate Stone quest: Gauntlet was replaced by Four Lines at Once, requiring four winning lines in one wave. Check the new goal rather than following an old Gauntlet checklist.
  • Golden Lever and X2: when X2 summons several units, the rarity upgrade now applies to all of them.
  • Safer menus: folding the Faction Synergy or damage window over promotion cards no longer also selects a card behind it.
  • Freeze reports: errorlog.txt diagnostics were improved. Turkish was added, and regular battles speed up once all allied units have fallen.

Changes that make older difficulty advice stale

Announcement Change relevant to a run
v1.0.0 (7) Stages 1 and 2 give more upgrade currency; Deadeye attack was reduced; fast-forward speed persists between runs and launches.
v1.0.0 (6) The first boss in each stage was made easier.
v1.0.0 (5) Overall difficulty was eased and some missed or untriggered skills were fixed.
v1.0.0 (4) Stages 1 and 2 became easier; Max FPS was added.

These announcements do not publish every numerical balance value. Do not infer a precise drop rate or current best build from the change descriptions.

Display, startup and promotion corrections

The (2) hotfix added Window Size in Windowed mode. The (4) hotfix fixed startup from moved or linked folders and on some older Windows versions; it also addressed delayed Class Select and Fate Stone promotion completion. Follow the display-settings guide for the supported controls.

The (3) hotfix addressed an incorrect Defeat-before-Victory result when an in-flight attack won after the last allied unit fell. It also corrected the Upgrade Units count to exclude five faction nodes. These are specific fixes, not evidence that every later result or progression problem has the same cause.

Which sources apply to which product?

The main game launched November 12. The older 0.4 demo introduced Jester, Faction Synergy, Awakening and an item-system rework. Our Jester route labels October observations instead of presenting them as a current 1.0 probability table. Use the official news feed for changes after this check.
