Mistfall Hunter's July 30 Patch Buffs Withered Knight, Fixes Crash and Item Bugs

Mistfall Hunter's first update landed on July 30, 2026 at 16:00 UTC, requiring a client update through the app store.

What changed

Withered Knight (Polearm and Shield) balance adjustments:

• Charged Dash: energy drain during the shield-raising charge phase slightly reduced; turning performance of a Tier-1 charged dash slightly improved
• Basic Attack: damage on the 1st and 3rd thrust hits slightly increased
• Spear Barrage: damage multiplier slightly increased
• Rainbow Piercer: energy cost and cooldown both slightly reduced
• Block: energy cost reduced

Bug fixes:

• Incorrect key prompts in the Sorcerer's spellcasting tutorial (certain languages) corrected
• Mismatch between visual effect range and actual damage range of the Sorcerer's Flameblade resolved
• Extra Soul of Return no longer consumed when repeatedly entering and exiting a Soul Tree area during extraction-point summoning
• Item splitting via the secondary menu restored
• Console reconnection failures after disconnect addressed
• Occasional impassable-area anomaly in the "General Harald" challenge fixed
• Keys becoming unresponsive when the guide UI was closed quickly resolved
• Controller stick crash on the Seasonal Leaderboard screen fixed
• Equipment unequip issue addressed

Separately, the studio announced a launch reward for reaching 100,000 players within eight hours: a Gesture: Thumbs Up and 500 Soul Coins, claimable via in-game mail by logging in before 2026-09-01 00:00 UTC.

For Withered Knight mains, the cumulative energy reductions across Block, Rainbow Piercer, and Charged Dash represent a meaningful quality-of-life shift in sustained combat.
