Astrea: Six-Sided Oracles Beta v1.2.872 Reworks Underused Mechanics

Astrea: Six-Sided Oracles rolls out a broad beta update targeting underused dice and blessings, particularly for Austra and Cellarius, alongside multi-chapter enemy adjustments.

A new beta update for Astrea: Six-Sided Oracles targets mechanics and gear pieces that saw low pick rates, delivering extensive buffs and specific reworks across multiple characters and enemies.

Oracle Reworks and Buffs

Austra's Nimbus Kite now replaces Confuse Virtue with a Meteor Rain 4 Virtue, and Clarity Whirlwind triggers purification based on random purify actions received during battle. Cellarius receives numerous improvements, such as lowering the Vortex Bubble purification trigger threshold from 12 to 6 and allowing Abyssal Shatter to deal double purification when the player has only one heart. Moonie, Hevelius, Sothis, and Orion also receive targeted value increases to specific dice and modifiers.

Neutral Adjustments and Blessings

Entropy Hood now scales all Purify 1 actions up to Purify 18. Dicesmith Helmet increases scaling to 2 for every five dice past 25. Astrall Calling Risky Die loses a draw face and increases corruption output.

Enemy and Anomaly Scaling

Anomalies 7 and 8 merge into a single modifier, Anomaly 8, which increases non-boss and boss max corruption by 10 percent in chapters 2 and 3. A new Anomaly 7 adds Wound Hex Dice to the player draw pool whenever the dice pool shuffles. Hard and boss encounters across Tainted Reef, Astropolis Ruins, and Ground Zero receive base max corruption increases and modified starting hexes.

Bug Fixes

This patch resolves an issue where Forceful Stream displayed a Wave tooltip, fixed UI tooltips extending off-screen, corrected invisible shop blessings, and fixed the Try Again button incorrectly restarting runs with a different Oracle and Virtues.

Why this patch matters

This update injects power into underpicked cards and items while raising baseline difficulty through harsher anomaly combinations and enemy health pools.
