PvP Patch v5.1 Beta Update

This incremental update addresses most bugs reported with v5.0, removes the bonus +HP gear damage from Crush Helm/Armor, and some monster buffs.

If you are already on version 5, you DO NOT need to update your save data.
Make sure to patch using an unmodified, USA-region backup of your FFT WotL ISO!

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed Invisible status not applying doubled evasion rates
  • Fixed Silence status prohibiting Iaido
  • Fixed Purification cleansing Curse status (only Esuna and Holy Water are able)
  • Removed % text from Steal Helm
  • Corrected Ultima’s Speed text
  • [Campaign] Fixed Mustadio and others wanting to join the party while your party is full, giving you a join request instead of outright not prompting the opportunity to dismiss units instead to make room

Learn on Hit Functionality

  • Learn on hit now ignores your status except if considered KO’d to make for an easier time triggering learn prompts, from abilities like Mind Blast
    Note: the “Learn?” prompt doesn’t display if under a disabling status (such as Vampire or Confuse) but the ability is still being automatically learned in Blue Magicks
  • “Learn (ability)?” prompt should always display regardless if Battle Prompt is ON or OFF

Abilities

  • Crush Helm/Crush Armor – Removed the equipment +HP damage difference when targeting helms or armor for this update
    When this was changed, this was primarily to buff Meli from feedback in v4 on her damage performance. However, Meli also isn’t the only one with access to these skills or the ability to Cast them (like Orlandeau or Ashley) so for this iteration, this change is being removed to tone down on the overperformance of using these skills with these units combined in All-Stars. I’ll reassess if it is worth re-adding in a later update.

Equipment

  • Thief’s Cap – Increased +HP from 60 to 70
  • Acacia Hat – Increased +HP from 50 to 60
