  • Fixed Martenon’s Lumina effects that do not work if Sciel does not have two consecutive turns.
  • Fixed an issue where Sireso weapon, Level 4 Lumina, and Powerful buff, from Pictos/Luminas, applied at the start of battle may override each other depending on the character’s position in combat.
  • Fixed Chromatic Lampmaster’s AOE skill missing a sound cue on the jump attack.
  • Fixed Sirene’s Widow Ballet missing SFX during second charm attack.
  • Fixed characters in combat that may have displaced heads in Photo Mode if they were not seen while turning on Photo Mode.
