Astrea Six-Sided Oracles Beta Update v1.1.480 Reworks Sothis and Orion
Astrea Six-Sided Oracles update v1.1.480 rolls out extensive beta reworks for Sothis, Orion, and sentinels. The patch adjusts sentinel break mechanics, modifies core action scaling, and fixes numerous softlocks.
A massive beta patch for Astrea Six-Sided Oracles hits the test branch, overhauling mechanics for Sothis, Orion, and sentinels. This update alters core stats, reworks break timers, and adjusts dozens of dice values across the board.
Sentinel and General Changes
Fast Purification scores are removed entirely. Sentinels now cost a flat 150 Star Shards per level. When a sentinel breaks, it repairs at the start of the Draw Phase after one whole turn, allowing normal card draw on its repair turn. Several dice values and auto-turret outputs across neutral items have been tweaked.
Sothis Adjustments
Sothis receives substantial changes focused on Soul Heat management and Affliction scaling. Bone Khopesh damage can now be blocked and avoids corruption modifiers. Mantras now scale Soul Heat up when below requirements and down when at or above thresholds. Fiery Projection now inflicts self-corruption while scaling purification based on Soul Heat and active affliction counts.
Orion Reworks
Orion sees targeted changes to Cosmic Orb and Astrium generation. Comet Convergence now grants players Cosmic Dust and deals purification scaling with previous Cosmic Orb casts. Catalyst applies Astrium whenever triggered, while Ultranova introduces a new AoE purification action with the Timeless keyword.
Bug Fixes and Stability
A wide variety of softlocks have been resolved, including issues tied to Charged Body triggers defeating enemies simultaneously with Dicesmith and Stardust items. Nocturnal Updraft no longer deals excess purification, and Trident of Depths correctly applies waves during High Tide.
Why this patch matters
This extensive beta patch shakes up meta builds for Sothis and Orion while streamlining sentinel mechanics and fixing persistent softlocks.
