Guildrun patch 0.5.11

Patch 0.5.11 changed no numbers. We re-extracted the game files the day it shipped and compared them field by field against the previous build: heroes, relics, items, specializations, class modifiers, enemies, stages and events all came back identical. What it changed is behaviour — relics firing on the wrong trigger, buffs outliving the hero who cast them, damage still landing on the dead. Every fix is listed below in plain language and linked to the entity it repairs, because a relic that finally does what its text says is a buff in everything but the patch notes.

Updated for patch 0.5.13

No numbers, checked on the files

Patch 0.5.11 shipped on 29 September, the day the tier list was revised on 0.5.10, and it moves no values. Our next extraction came after patch 0.5.12, and against patch 0.5.10 it finds only the two descriptions that 0.5.12 announces. Nothing in 0.5.11 touched a number or a line of effect text, so the tiers hold.

What it fixes

The Rift Seal, which marks a Red Rift run, did not update on heroes waiting in the reserve with a Crest or Glyph equipped. Those are the items that make their holder count as a given class in combat, like Vanguard's Crest or Mage's Glyph, and the Seal now updates on those heroes too.

Freezing a relic before a Challenge Fight or the Auction House could hand you a second copy of it; that no longer works. The effect projectiles that fly from the interface to their targets are much lighter, which the studio expects to show most in late Endless comps.

Fixes and behaviour changes

Rift Seal

In Red Rift, the Seal did not update on heroes that had a Crest or Glyph equipped while they sat in the reserve. It now updates for them too.

Duplicate relics

Freezing a relic before a Challenge Fight or the Auction House no longer lets you take a second copy of it.

Performance

The effect projectiles that fly from the interface to their targets are much lighter, which shows most in late Endless comps.

Questions people ask

What changed in Guildrun patch 0.5.11?
Patch 0.5.11 contains no balance changes at all: 3 fixes and nothing else. The entities affected are Rift Seal.
How often does Guildrun get balance patches?
Weekly. Leyline Creations has shipped a balance pass every week since the demo opened, usually alongside bug fixes and visual updates.
Do balance changes reset the Red Rift leaderboard?
Sometimes. Patch 0.5.3 reset it because the balance changes were expected to shift scores enough to make older runs incomparable.
Are the numbers on the hero and relic pages up to date?
Yes. Entity pages are rebuilt from the patched dataset, so the effect text you read on a relic or hero page reflects the most recent patch listed here.
