TemTem “Endless Night” update (version 1.5) now available, patch notes

Posted on September 25, 2023 by Dawn in News, Switch

An extensive new update has gone live for TemTem, bringing the game up to version 1.5. on Switch. This kicks off the Endless Night season in the game, and brings a wide variety of adjustment and bug fixes.

Full details can be found below:

New Stuff
A new Mythical Temtem is here
Galios is the third and last Mythical Temtem. With a kit focused on Doom, new Traits with new mechanics, and a brand new route and Lair, it’s sure to spice things up around the Archipelago, a place it hasn’t visited in eons.
There’s a new quest that will take you to its Lair and unprecedent new heights. You can start it at Nanto Labs, in Cipanku.
A new quest and a new route
Come onboard to a most distant land. The third Mythical Lair can now be unlocked, if you dare.
Meet a mysterious Order on your way to Galios, and find out more about their intriguing schemes.
A new type of Temtem: Umbras are real.
After teasing this for months, Umbras really do exist and have been included in this update.
Umbras are a new type of differently-colored Tems. They’re Lumas’ dark, even rarer counterpart. They have a new effect, exclusive to them.
Umbras won’t spawn until you have finished their respective quest, and after defeating the third Mythical, Galios.
There are three ways to obtain Umbras, whose base rate of apparition is 1/75.000:
Wild: Using the base rate, an Umbra can appear in any wild battle where a Luma could appear too. If Lumas are blocked on a specific activity or battle type, Umbras will be locked too.
Breeding: Umbras are infertile, but Luma parents can produce Umbra children. Each time a Temtem breeds, the base rate will be used to determine if it’s an Umbra. If one of the parents is a Luma, the rate for the child being an Umbra will also be multiplied by 10 (1/7.500) and if both parents are Luma, the rate will be multiplied by 100 (1/750).
Umbra Radars: These work like the current Radars, but boost Umbra odds instead. They will be purchasable with Luma Drops in Nanto Labs. These have a different icon and a tweaked UI so you can easily tell them apart from regular Radars. The Umbra rate will be multiplied according to the current radar capture number (0-100: Base rate x10; 101-200: Base rate x50; 201-300: Base rate x100).
All Umbra have their SVs set to 50, all the possible Egg Techniques already learned, 0 fertility, and they will be soulbound.
Please note that anything that boosts Luma chance (like Saipark or Temtem radars) doesn’t boost Umbra chance, unless specifically mentioned.
This is not a drill, nor a joke. Umbras really do exist. They are very hard to achieve, require huge effort, and are a steep climb from Luma hunting. Umbras are meant as a new goal for our most dedicated players, please don’t expect them to casually pop up! The odds are not in anyone’s favor. But still, best of luck, and we hope to see an Umbra or two soon!
Please note: there’s currently a small visual bug where, upon capturing an Umbra whose Luma version you already had, the number on your Tamer Info won’t be correctly updated to yourself. Other people will be able to see the right number. Sorry! We’ll fix it asap.
Time for a new Season!
Season 5 is called Endless Night and it’s the dark and spooky season all us goths deserve.
Season 5 will be the first one to last one month longer, so it’ll be on from today, September 25th, until January 29th, 2024. Remember you can see this in-game, on the upper right corner of the Tamer Pass!
There will be two events during this Season: the first one will be, of course, a Halloween-themed event.
A new Challenger Mode: Randomized!
The Randomized mode is similar to the Randomlocke mode, but without the hardcore Nuzlocke rules. This means your Tems won’t permanently faint, and you’ll be able to catch more than two per route.
Most things will be random in this mode: Temtem you find, the Techniques they have, items you might find.
You can co-op this mode as well, as long as you follow the Challenge modes co-op rules.
This mode comes with its own set of exclusive, new rewards, and its kudo, so give it a try!
Lairs v2! Lairs have been revamped following player feedback.
Apart from the usual ones, you can now form parties of 1 and 2 players.
Less Jewels are required to access the Mythical boss according to party size.
Rewards have been adjusted according to party size.
These new party sizes are focused on players who might not have reached endgame yet. The rewards are focused on resources to build a good, competitive team that can withstand the endgame content.
The 3-to-5-person Lair will still be the most challenging and the ones that require the most effort, so they will still be the ones that reward most handsomely. The rewards for 3-to-5-people Lair have been adjusted to account for this.
You can get a Mythical egg in Lairs of any size, but Lairs of 3 to 5 players will provide eggs with boosted Luma rates.
We’ve introduced a new Node that will let you trade with other players in the Lair.
You can only trade with players in your same Lair.
The person who reaches the Node initiates the trade. The person on the receiving side must be out of combat to be able to accept and engage with the trade.
We’re trying to improve the feeling of cooperation in Lairs, and we believe this will also improve the completion rate of Lairs.
This trading node will also be added to DigiLairs.
Starting from this patch, you will only be able to revive once per Lair.
We’re trying to prevent bitter Lair experiences where one player single-handedly consumes all of the teams’ Jewels, and
This change will not apply to DigiLairs.
We’ve added a pity system to Lairs. This means that per each node you conquer successfully you’ll net yourself 100 Pansuns even if you don’t defeat the boss or leave the Lair in the middle. All nodes count for this.
Casual Dojo rematches are here
You will be asked to choose your difficulty level when walking up to any Dojo Master for a rematch. You can choose between Disciple and Casual.
Casual Rematches have been scaled down so players who haven’t reached endgame yet have a better chance at winning the rematches and get to practice on the competitive mode.
You can complete the Casual option first, and the Disciple option later. If you complete the Disciple option first, the Casual version will be counted as completed as well, and you will get the Casual rewards automatically.
Dye preview in the Luma Drops store!
You will now be able to preview the Luma Dyes on the Luma Drop store before you buy them. They’ll preview over a generic t-shirt.
A new musical instrument: the Theremin!
Improvements
Premium Store items from Season 1 have been added to the rotating Daily Store pool!
FreeTem! has received a lot of changes:
You’ll now be asked to release Tems from 4 particular, randomized species, instead of the current anything-goes method.
Each player will get 4 different species at random, so each set of groups will be different for each player.
You can release them in any order, and at any time during the week, even switching from group to group at random.
Groups will be equalized in terms of difficulty, factoring in spawn rate and catch rate.
The max amount of releases required is 90, and the minimum is 5.
We’ve made it so you can only get one group of the maximum amount per week, making sure FreeTem is never more demanding than before.
The released Tems will maintain the current FreeTem! restrictions, such as having to have been captured that same week, and having to have your OT.
Rewards will be Feathers and Pansuns per each group completed, as opposed to the previous Tier system.
Every group gives the same amount of rewards, regardless of the group, the week or the player.
You can do as many and as little groups as you please. You can do them all, just half, none at all… whatever you feel like that week!
With this change we hope FreeTem! feels a bit more fresh, more interesting and challenging, and closer to our idea of an actual activity.
We’ve made it so currently equipped cosmetics and currently placed furniture items don’t show up in trades or while selling to an NPC. No more accidentally selling your clothes!
We’ve added a new feature for clarity that will let you see some Gears at the beginning of a turn, even if their behavior hasn’t been activated yet. This will record them in the Battle Log and make it harder to forget they’re there. You’ll see the complete list in the Balance section.
Mythical Temtem now have variants in their intro and fainting VO sounds.
Credits have been updated. We’ve added the newer Crema peeps to them!
Matter-Transfer Drone travel transitions now have sound effects and audio behavior like the Narwhal travels do.
Special trainers now have a distinctive music intro.
We’ve reviewed the cosmetics in the regular loot pool to make sure all of them are sellable to NPCs and tradeable.
Balance
Economy
The Feather reward for the GritArena has been increased by 33%.
The Feather reward for the TemSafari has been increased by 15%.
The Feather reward for the DraftArena has been increased by 15%.
Disciple Dojo Rematches now provide better rewards through the extra rewards obtained from automatically beating Casual Dojo Rematches.
The rewards for 3 to 5-people Mythical Lairs have been adjusted so they are more reliable and more consistent, with less difference from one run to the other. We’ve also moved some of the rewards to match the difference in challenge between small-sized Lairs and regular size Lairs
DigiLairs will now ask for one more Jewel to access the DigiLair boss.
Cosmetics in the city boutiques have had their price reduced a 40%.
Ranked rewards have been adjusted slightly depending on whether you’re playing with a Pro Squad or a Showdown Squad:
Games played with a Showdown Squad will now provide slightly less rewards, while games played with a Pro Squad will now provide slightly more rewards.

PvP
We’re sticking with the Highlighted Changes following your positive feedback on it! Remember that these changes will still appear under their respective categories lower down below.
HIGHLIGHTED CHANGES
#004 – Chromeon
STA has been increased 55 ⇒ 61.
SPATK has been increased 78 ⇒ 85.
Shy Shield has been removed from its tech pool.
Generify has been removed from its tech pool.
Data Burst has been removed from its tech pool.
Hologram is now learned at level 8.
Binary Flood is now learned at level 15.
Rainbow Guard is now learned at level 29.
Chromeon has been awaiting a rework for quite some time, and it’s finally here! Its tech pool has been greatly improved so that Chromeon can achieve diversity while staying true to its glass-cannon identity. You’ll notice that some variations, like Electric, will remain mostly the same, while other types like Mental are receiving some much-needed new tools. Its signature move, Torrent, has been buffed, ensuring that every Chromeon has a decent turn 1 technique.
In terms of its traits, Chromeon’s Special Attack (SPATK) has been adjusted to match the nerf that has been applied to Synertyper. This adjustment prevents Chromeon from falling short when the trait isn’t activated, while also ensuring it doesn’t become overwhelming at lower TMR ranges. This is particularly important as digi-aggro poses a significant hurdle for less experienced players to overcome. On the other hand, Pigment Inverter has been changed with the aim of turning it into a healthier mechanic. The previous iteration’s lack of information was a problem for players in terms of clarity. While we acknowledge that this version may be less prevalent and more situational, we believe it leads to much more dynamic and creative gameplay, allowing for the setup of combos and even the choice to nullify your ally.
Here are the list of changes per Chromeon type, and other changes that affect it specifically:
[Crystal]
Quartz Dirt has been added to its tech pool.
[Digital]
Overclock has been added to its tech pool.
Token has been added to its tech pool.
[Earth]
Petrify has been removed from its tech pool.
Sludge Gift has been added to its tech pool.
Drought has been added to its tech pool.
[Electric]
Electric Storm has been added to its tech pool.
Tesla Prison has been added to its tech pool.
DC Beam has been added to its tech pool.
[Fire]
Fire Tornado has been added to its tech pool.
Fire Flame has been added to its tech pool.
Fiery Heist is now learned at level 85.
[Melee]
Kesa Gatame has been added to its tech pool.
[Mental]
Energy Manipulation has been added to its tech pool.
[Nature]
Allergic Spread has been added to its tech pool.
[Neutral]
Willpower Drain has been added to its tech pool.
[Toxic]
Toxic Gas has been added to its tech pool.
[Water]
Tsunami has been added to its tech pool.
Water Blade has been added to its tech pool.
Sharp Rain has been added to its tech pool.
[Wind]
Blizzard has been removed from its tech pool.
Gust has been added to its tech pool.

Torrent
Damage has been increased 65 ⇒ 95.
Pigment Inverter
Previous effects no longer work.
New effect: When attacking a Temtem with an ineffective technique, the target receives 3 turns of Nullified.
Synertyper
Damage increase has been reduced ~~30%~~ ⇒ 25%.
Now, onto another Tem:
#034 – Nagaise
HP has been increased 47 ⇒ 53.
DEF has been increased 58 ⇒ 62.
SPDEF has been increased 76 ⇒ 78.
Deceit Aura
Previous effects no longer work.
New effect: From Very Low to Very High, the priority of the techniques used during a turn is inverted.
Nagaise has been a significant challenge for both players and the balance team. Deceit Aura has, arguably, been the most polarizing trait in the game’s history, so it’s undergoing a comprehensive rework. With this trait change and buffs to its base stats to compensate for what Nagaise has lost, we aim to establish a new starting point for this Temtem. This will allow us to reintroduce moves or base stats adjustments that had to be removed due to the impact of Deceit Aura, or fine-tune the values for this trait.
For now, we’ve kept the 4-turn restriction to assess how Nagaise performs after the change with moves like Lullaby, 5PPEH, Zen Meditation, etc., before removing the turn limit. Our team of balance helpers has reported that, since it’s now less punishing to be fast against Nagaise, this approach to Deceit Aura will make speed control more relevant in the meta. We hope this new Deceit Aura change will provide a more user-friendly experience, but we’ll closely monitor its impact, as mentioned.
#101 – Kauren
Willpower Drain is now learned at level 30.
Nightmare Feed has been added to its tech pool.
Earth Wave has been removed from its tech pool.
Stone Ball has been removed from its tech pool.
Stampede has been removed from its tech pool.
STA has been increased 54 ⇒ 57.
ATK has been reduced 81 ⇒ 52.
SPATK has been increased 52 ⇒ 81.
Petrify
Hold turns have been increased 1 ⇒ 2.
Trap turns have been reduced 3 ⇒ 2.
Damage has been increased 60 ⇒ 61.
STA Cost has been increased 12 ⇒ 17.
New effect: Overexerts the target.
Skull Helmet
New effect: The Temtem is now immune to the Exhausted Status Condition.
We came across a player feedback thread on Kauren that suggested a shift to a Special attacker. Given our previous unsuccessful attempts to improve this Temtem, we decided to give this idea a try. The outcome has made Kauren more efficient in terms of damage output and stamina management. This change, paired with the introduction of Nightmare Feed to address the healing deficiency in Skull Helmet builds (which has also been improved), can potentially help Kauren find its spot in the meta. We are optimistic that it will be as effective as proven during our internal scrims.
#143 – Koish
STA has been increased 55 ⇒ 61.
HP has been increased 51 ⇒ 57.
SPDEF has been increased 54 ⇒ 58.
ATK has been reduced 83 ⇒ 76.

Stream
STA Cost has been reduced 23 ⇒ 20.
Earth Stream
Damage has been reduced 95 ⇒ 85.
Neutral Stream
Damage has been reduced ~~105~~ ⇒ 85.
Iridescence
Previous effects no longer work.
New effect: When receiving a technique, the type of this technique is ignored but it deals 12.5% more damage to Koish.
Koish, like Chromeon, has been awaiting a rework for quite some time, and it’s finally here as well. We’ve applied the same principles we employed with Chromeon. A review of the entire tech pool for each type was done to ensure they all feel relevant, while also addressing the unhealthy trait (Iridescence) and adjusting the rest of Koish’s kit accordingly.
The new Iridescence offers flexibility in teambuilding and helps variants that were weak on the defensive side but had offensive potential, such as the Mental variety. In the early stages of testing Iridescence, combined with the changes to base stats, it felt quite strong. That’s why we added the extra damage taken to balance it, especially since Synergy Adept benefitted from the additional stats. This flexible value provides us with a tool to balance this build if needed once players have their hands on the Temtem.

#165 – Galios
We want to let the playerbase discover what this Temtem is capable of and enjoy the surprises it brings naturally, so information here will be brief. Testing has revealed that this Temtem is quite complex, so we expect player experimentation to discover new builds or combos that we might have missed. We will be monitoring this Temtem throughout the season as we understand the impact it could have on the PvP scene. We have some potential changes prepared, depending on how its adaptation to the meta goes.
That’s it for this patch’s highlighted changes!

SPDEF has been increased 66 ⇒ 68.
Last Rush has been removed from its traits.
Bird Season has been added to its traits.
Granpah hasn’t been able to fully recover fully after losing Hyperkinetic Strike. Following feedback from the community, and after some testing, we have replaced Last Rush with a brand new trait: Bird Season. This trait will allow Granpah to put pressure on other Wind Temtem.
#020 – Amphatyr
STA has been increased 57 ⇒ 61.
SPATK has been increased 62 ⇒ 66.
Infectious has been removed from its traits.
Settling has been added to its traits.
Amphatyr had a tough time with its damage output and the high Stamina cost of its techniques. We modified the Settling trait to boost SPATK as well, and we’ve replaced Infectious with this trait. This change allows Amphatyr to scale offensively while being the fast, frail Temtem that it is.
#034 – Nagaise
HP has been increased 47 ⇒ 53.
DEF has been increased 58 ⇒ 62.
SPDEF has been increased 76 ⇒ 78.
#037 – Banapi

HP has been increased 57 ⇒ 62.
STA has been increased 51 ⇒ 55.
SPDEF has been increased 40 ⇒ 49.
Determined has been removed from its traits.
Furor has been added to its traits.
Continuing our efforts to revitalize less played Temtem, we have chosen to explore a playstyle for Owlhe where it can truly shine. Recognizing its frail nature and ability to be brought to low HP ranges, we have given it Furor so it can take advantage of this position
#053 – Barnshe
STA has been increased 51 ⇒ 56.
DEF has been increased 40 ⇒ 47.
HP has been increased 57 ⇒ 63.
#061 – Piraniant
STA has been increased 52 ⇒ 58.
SPDEF has been increased 45 ⇒ 50.
#074 – Tortenite
HP has been increased 74 ⇒ 76.
STA has been increased 55 ⇒ 61.
DEF has been increased 76 ⇒ 78.
SPDEF has been increased 60 ⇒ 65.
Tortenite has been limited in terms of buffs due to the defensive potential offered by its trait, Confined. Following a nerf to Confined, now providing a +1DEF/+1SPDEF bonus, we’ve created an opportunity for buffs to Tortenite this season and in the future if necessary.
#075 – Innki
DEF has been increased 58 ⇒ 61.
SPDEF has been increased 58 ⇒ 61.
#100 – Kuri
Willpower Drain has been added to its tech pool.

SPATK has been increased 52 ⇒ 81.
#107 – Blooze
Bamboozle has been added to its tech pool.
Beef Up has been added to its tech pool as a TC.
Pollution has been added to its tech pool.
#114 – Gazuma
HP has been increased 49 ⇒ 54.
STA has been increased 53 ⇒ 56.
DEF has been increased 49 ⇒ 52.
Gazuma has gained increased popularity since receiving buffs during the past season. We are pleased with its position in the meta, showcasing its versatility as a Temtem that performs well both as an offensive threat and a valuable support. While we are content with these aspects, we acknowledge the issues posed by its trait, Fast Charge. We are reducing the Speed buff provided by this trait while making necessary adjustments to Gazuma’s stats to maintain its position in the meta.
#122 – Shuine
HP has been increased 47 ⇒ 51.
DEF has been increased 52 ⇒ 55.
#124 – Valiar
Blackhole has been added to its tech pool.
Jinxed Whisper has been added to its tech pool
This will be brief. Valiar is regaining Blackhole, but there are additional changes planned for this Temtem in the next season that had to be postponed due to their complexity.
#129 – Adoroboros
HP has been reduced 70 ⇒ 67.
STA has been reduced 66 ⇒ 63.
SPDEF has been reduced ~~107~~ ⇒ 105.
Adoroboros has been one of the strongest Temtem during this last season. We think it needed another nerf on its bulk. We will keep an eye on this Temtem to see how it performs after this changes, specially on Toxic Skin builds.
#131 – Tukai
Turbine has been added to its tech pool.
#135 – Tuwire
HP has been increased 59 ⇒ 62.
DEF has been increased 52 ⇒ 60.
SPDEF has been increased 51 ⇒ 61.
Tuwire feels similar to Tortenite. Common Factor had to be nerfed for this Temtem to receive any buff. After testing the changes, our scrims have shown that there are situations that have resulted in benefits for the Temtem while others…not so much. We will be monitoring this Temtem now that it has gained space for potential buffs.
#139 – Vulor
Smoldering Kiss has been added to its tech pool.
#140 – Vulcrane
SPDEF has been increased 35 ⇒ 43.
Rockfall has been added to its tech pool.

STA recovery effect has been removed.
Fixed damage when the caster’s HP is over 50% is 10%; fixed damage when the caster’s HP is below 50% is 5%.
New effect: Partner and caster are now healed by 5% when the caster has over 50% of their HP; partner and caster are now healed by 10% when caster’s HP is below 50%.
Swarm Aid now deals more damage when Waspeen is high on health, but heals more when Waspeen is low on health. The goal with this is to give Waspeen a more dynamic playstyle and a signature technique that feels a bit more meaningful.
Swarm Aid (Synergy)
STA recovery effect has been removed.
Fixed damage when the caster’s HP is over 50% is 15%; fixed damage when the caster’s HP is below 50% is 10%.

Traits
Backhanded
Previous effects no longer work.
New effect: When using an Status Condition Technique, this Temtem receives 1 turn of Regenerating.
Toxic Farewell
Poison turns have been reduced 3 ⇒ 1.
HP reduction has been reduced ~~10%~~ ⇒ 7%.
New effect: The poison ticks now are applied to both rivals.
Kinetic Transfer
Previous effects no longer work
New effect: When attacking a Temtem, the user recovers 15% of the damage done as STA.
Hypnotist
The trait is no longer triggered when the Temtem enters the battlefield.
This trait is now enabled after the Temtem has spent 2 turns in the battlefield.
Maoala has consistently applied significant pressure during Pick/Ban phases, mainly due to the uncertainty of it using its Hypnotist trait. Traits like these should require a specific setup and offer substantial benefits thereafter. This has been the reasoning behind the Hypnotist changes. Now, Maoala needs to be in a favorable position to fully utilize the trait but it will gain a slot on its tech pool as Wake Up won’t be needed anymore and its ally won’t require a specific Gear to avoid the Sleep Status Condition.
Deceit Aura
Previous effects no longer work.
New effect: From Very Low to Very High, the priority of the techniques used during a turn is inverted.
Iridescence
Previous effects no longer work.
New effect: When receiving a technique, the type of the technique is ignored, but it deals 12.5% more damage to Koish.
Pigment Inverter
Previous effects no longer work.
New effect: When attacking a Temtem with an ineffective technique, the target receives 3 turns of Nullified.
Tri-Phytologist
Exhaust turns have been increased 1 ⇒ 2.
Last Rush
Damage increase has been reduced ~~40%~~ ⇒ 33%.
Fast Charge
SPD Stage modification has been reduced 2 ⇒ 1.
Settling
New effect: Settling gifts the holder with +1 SPATK and +1 ATK for each 2 consecutive turns they are on the battlefield.
Common Factor
Nullified turns have been reduced 2 ⇒ 1.
Skull Helmet
New effect: The Temtem is now immune to the Exhaust Status Condition.
Synertyper
Damage increase has been reduced ~~30%~~ ⇒ 25%.

Gears
Vitamin Complex
Previous effect no longer works.
New effect: After the Temtem with this gear spends 3 turns in battle, all negative stage modifications are removed.
Nutrition Bar
This Gear won’t be activated after the holder receives damage anymore.
This Gear will be enabled at the end of the turn if the holder has taken damage that turn.
Slingshot
Previous effect no longer works.
New effect: Techniques with base damage lower than 60 and priority lower than High deal 30% more damage.
We are happy with the whole idea behind the new Slingshot. The release of this new iteration could feel a bit weak, but values can be tweaked in the future if required.
Sweatband
Previous effect no longer works.
New effect: The holder restores 5 points of STA at the start of the turn.
Sweatband has been a subject of internal discussions for quite some time. Sweatband and other Stamina-related Gears allow a Temtem to remain on the field for longer durations. However, this gear was enabling certain Temtem to persist indefinitely, particularly when coupled with healing or evasion techniques. Our aim is to ensure that Temtem do eventually deplete their stamina, even when equipped with such a Gear. Stamina Gears should prolong overexertion, not entirely prevent it.
Building Blocks
Previous effect no longer works.
New effect: Regenerating 1 turn instead of DEF[+] and SPDEF[+].
As it was mentioned in the preview of the season, we want to avoid Gears that grant free stats. To keep it a bit in line with what it used to be, Building Blocks now serves as a healing tool. We will keep an eye on this Gear during this season.
We are leaving one of the main changes of this season for last. We are testing a new approach for the announcement of some Gears, with the idea of helping with planning strategies during the game. The following Gears will be announced at the beginning of a turn, even if their behavior hasn’t been activated yet. This will record them in the Battle Log and make it harder to forget they’re there
These are the Gears affected by this change:
Kaleidoscope
Adrenaline Shot
Nutrition Bar
Snare
Grease
Gravels Bag
Bait
Drill
Shuine’s Horn
Refreshing Diabolo
Building Blocks
Talisman
Energy Drink
Strange Vest
Reactive Vial
First Aid Kit
Vitamin Complex
Hopeless Tonic
These are the Gears that have the most significant impact when planning a move. The team believes that these Gears will maintain a similar impact to what they already possess, as we assume that most competitive teams base their Gear selection on a sound and consistent strategy. Even with this ‘semi-open’ information approach, these Gears will fulfill the role they were designed for. We will closely monitor this change to determine whether we need to revert it or apply a similar change to every Gear.

Temtem – Ver. 1.4.2

Release date: August 17th 2023 (North America, Europe, Japan)
Patch notes:

Balance
HIGHLIGHTED CHANGES
#001 – Mimit
DNA Extraction
SPD Stage modification has been reduced 2 ⇒ 1.
Damage has been reduced 25 ⇒ 20.
Striking Transmog
Damage reduction has been reduced ~~50%~~ ⇒ 30%.
Mimit is one of the most predominant Temtem in this meta. The changes to Striking Transmog have been successful in terms of gaining popularity, but we believe that its potential has gone a bit overboard. Therefore, we are making some adjustments to both Striking Transmog and DNA Extraction. We want this version of Mimit to remain strong, as its effectiveness relies on how players interpret the game and analyze win conditions; however, we also aim to provide opponents with more opportunities to counter-play. That’s why we have decided to reduce the resistance on the transformation turn for Striking and decrease the speed boost of DNA Extraction. These changes will allow the opponent’s team more room to strategize and respond.
#078 – Cycrox
Digithreat
Hold turns have been increased 1 ⇒ 2.
STA Cost has been reduced 29 ⇒ 23.
Neurotoxins
Doom turns have been increased 3 ⇒ 4.
Doom has taken a twist this season with the role change to Purgation and Restore. We believe that Cycrox, specifically Neurotoxins, is in need of a rework. While this rework is forthcoming, we believe it is necessary to provide opponents with more opportunities to remove the Doom condition or to inflict as much damage as possible while the Doom counter reaches 0. Currently, with Neurotoxin set to 3 turns, Cycrox itself or a Strangle user can render a Temtem completely incapacitated without having to exert any extra pressure while the Doom counter reaches 0. This additional turn will help make these situations more manageable.
The other Doom mechanic of this season is Digithreat. As we mentioned in the preview of patch 1.4, we aim for the Doom mechanic to serve as a finishing blow. Therefore, we intend to increase the hold requirement for moves that apply this status to prevent them from being spammed. With the rise in popularity of mental Temtem, such as Adoroboros, building a team composition around this strategy has become relatively easy, utilizing Digithreat users like Mawmense and Cycrox. This increase in hold will mean that you will have to choose more precisely when to use this tech
#122 – Shuine
Crystal Deluge has been removed from its move pool.
Relax has been added to its move pool.
After receiving Crystal Deluge, this Temtem has skyrocketed its way to the top of the meta. It’s become quite the versatile player, covering a range of roles – from safeguarding its allies against status effects and swiftly setting up defenses, to dishing out damage with Water Cannon and even applying poison. Plus, with Adoroboros gaining popularity, Crystal Deluge and the high priority it has thanks to its Synergy have been keeping threats at bay way too effectively.
However, we’re of the opinion that relying on Crystal Deluge as one of its main control tools might be a bit too much. After these changes to its move pool, we’ll be closely observing Shuine’s performance for the remainder of the Season. If it seems like some adjustments to its base stats could be in order, we’ll definitely consider giving it a little boost.
#134 – Turoc
HP has been reduced ~~105~~ ⇒ 101.
Rockfall
Damage has been increased 75 ⇒ 83.
Rockfall (Synergy)
Damage has been increased 75 ⇒ 83.
Tactical Strike
Damage has been reduced ~~16%~~ ⇒ 12%.
The nerfs we applied to this Temtem and Tactical Strike at the start of the season don’t appear to have had any impact on the potency that Turoc brings to the table. Despite implementing minor nerfs once more, we’d rather maintain this approach to avoid painting ourselves into a corner, until we pinpoint the ideal balance for Turoc in comparison to other Physical Earth Temtem.
#144 – Vulffy
Sludge Gift
STA Cost has been increased 9 ⇒ 13.
Team Elusive
Now it only activates when using a damaging move.
Vulffy currently reigns supreme in the meta. Its flexibility and reliability make it a top pick for almost any team. We want to be cautious not to over nerf this Temtem, as we think its base stats and move pool are pretty balanced. So, we’re just gonna tweak its most efficient technique and tone down its main trait, Team Elusive. These changes aim to keep Vulffy relevant in the meta while slightly reducing its overall popularity.
That’s it for the highlighted changes! Now let’s continue normally, onto Tems, Techs, Traits and Gears.

Temtem
#007 – Platypet
Tsunami has been added to its move pool.
Noxious Bomb has been added to its move pool as a TC.
#008 – Platox
Toxin Shower has been added to its move pool.
#010 – Swali
Urushiol is now learned at level 14.
Toxic Spores is now learned at level 5.
Allergic Spread is now learned at level 35.
Bark Shield is now learned at level 44.
#013 – Gharunder
Clay Ball has been removed from its move pool.
Voltopuncture now is learned at level 5.
Tesla Prison is now learned at level 12.
Gharunder is one of the most common Temtem used during this Season. After the changes to Beef Up, players seemed to use that slot for Clay Ball, which serves as an excellent coverage move for an electric-type Temtem, as well as a valuable tool for speed control. Following the same reasoning we had with the removal of Stone Ball from Tateru, we are going to remove Clay Ball from Gharunder to prevent this Temtem from occupying a slot that rightfully belongs to Earth Temtem.
#021 – Bunbun
Soil Steam has been added to its move pool as a TC.
Quartz Dirt has been added to its move pool as a TC.
Stone Ball has been added to its move pool.
Crystal Deluge has been added to its move pool.

Wrenching Massage is now learned at level 73.
#029 – Goty
Goring has been added to its move pool.
Execution has been added to its move pool.
Base Jump has been added to its move pool as a TC.
Held Anger has been added to its move pool as a TC.
#039 – Lapinite

Horror has been added to its move pool as a TC.
#044 – Bigu
Aqua Stone has been added to its move pool.
Iced Stalactite has been added to its move pool.
Harmful Lick has been added to its move pool.
Laundry has been added to its move pool as a TC.
#046 – 0b1
Cooperation has been added to its move pool.
Electric Storm has been added to its move pool.
#048 – Kaku
Humiliating Slap has been added to its move pool.
Turbine has been added to its move pool.
Frond Whip has been added to its move pool.
Urushiol is now learned at level 4.
Nimble is now learned at level 7.
#049 – Saku
ATK has been increased 71 ⇒ 74.
DEF has been increased 68 ⇒ 72.
SPDEF has been increased 70 ⇒ 74.
Our original intention was for Saku to serve as a raid boss for this Season. However, we acknowledge that the absence of self-buffing tools and the removal of Bark Shield appeared to contradict this concept. We hope that with the addition of Petal Dagger at the start of the Season and this increase in base stats, Saku can find a new role where it performs better.
#055 – Occlura
Clinch has been added to its move pool.
Hallucination has been added to its move pool.
#056 – Myx
STA has been increased 59 ⇒ 61.
DEF has been increased 43 ⇒ 53.
HP has been increased 51 ⇒ 58.
SPD has been increased 65 ⇒ 68.
AoE techniques have become quite common these past seasons, which has become an issue even for Puppet Master Myx. Hopefully, these stat boosts can amp up Myx’s game, whether Puppet Master’s in play or not.
#059 – Raican
SPDEF has been increased 54 ⇒ 57.
#062 – Scarawatt
Defibrillate has been added to its move pool.
Earthbreaker has been added to its move pool.
Drought has been added to its move pool as a TC.
#066 – Osuchi
Nito Seiho has been added to its move pool.
Uppercut has been added to its move pool.
#067 – Osukan
Petrify has been added to its move pool.
Rockfall has been added to its move pool.
Base Jump has been added to its move pool as a TC.
#068 – Osukai
SPDEF has been increased 51 ⇒ 53.
Inner Spirit has been added to its move pool.
Osukai has been feeling the impact of the Slingshot tweak we introduced at the beginning of the season. Nonetheless, we believe that Temtem should find their balance based on their entire kit, rather than relying too heavily on just one piece of gear. By adding a touch of SPDEF and incorporating Inner Spirit into its move pool, we aim to enhance the offensive capabilities of Osukai. While these adjustments might seem modest, we want to make safe changes with this Temtem as it has what we consider one of the strongest interactions in the game in the form of Sensei+Hook, which allows Osukai to scale while dealing substantial damage simultaneously.
#070 – Pycko
Sand Storm has been added to its move pool.
Fiery Soul has been added to its move pool.
#071 – Drakash
Fiery Soul is now learned at level 42.
Hellfire is now learned at level 76.
Dust Vortex has been added to its move pool.
We’ve been considering the idea of giving Drakash Dust Vortex for a while. However, we wanted to test it properly as it is a heavy-hitting technique and we didn’t want to overtune the Temtem. After observing how the Temtem performed following the initial buff at the start of the season, it became apparent that it needed something powerful to use before Fire Tornado came into play.
#076 – Shaolite
Dim Mak has been added to its move pool.
Inner Spirit has been added to its move pool.
Cheer Up has been added to its move pool.
#077 – Shaolant
Haito Uchi has been added to its move pool.
The support version of Shaolant that we buffed for this Season was missing a suitable option for the first few turns, something to kickstart the action on early turns. While Cooperation has its merits, it doesn’t quite cut it on the second turn. That’s where Haito Uchi comes into play. We’ve also added Cheer Up to the mix to further enhance its supportive toolkit, giving it a bit more impact in this role. Additionally, we’ve tweaked Composure to become available a bit earlier; this adjustment might help put a cap on the scaling of certain Temtem, but time will tell. We will keep an eye on this Temtem to see if it needs anything else for next season.
#079 – Hocus
Horror has been added to its move pool as a TC.
#086 – Magmis
Meteor Swarm has been added to its move pool.
#090 – Galvanid
Electropunch has been added to its move pool.
#091 – Raignet
Electropunch is now learned at level 40.
Thunder Strike is now learned at level 48.
#096 – Gorong
ATK has been increased 71 ⇒ 75.
#097 – Mitty
Nightmare Feed has been added to its move pool.
#103 – Deendre
Water Cutting Lily has been added to its move pool.
#105 – Toxolotl
Harmful Lick has been added to its move pool.
Virulent Gust has been added to its move pool.
#106 – Noxolotl
Virulent Gust is now learned at level 50.
Harmful Lick is now learned at level 58.
Acid Reflux is now learned at level 66.
#109 – Zephyruff
Noxious Bomb has been added to its move pool as a TC.
#110 – Volarend
ATK has been increased 56 ⇒ 66.
After the implementation of the Anaerobic changes we’ve seen that Volarend was falling a bit behind the rest of the Temtem. Beefing up its ATK should give it a solid boost in popularity, but in a much more balanced way. In addition, we think that this Temtem could help with common threats that have been seeing during the season, such as Hazrat or Oceara.
#111 – Grumvel
Dust Vortex has been added to its move pool.
Petrify has been added to its move pool.
Sparks has been added to its move pool.
#112 – Grumper
STA has been increased 50 ⇒ 55.
SPDEF has been increased 67 ⇒ 69.
Dust Vortex is now learned at level 50.
Electric Storm is now learned at level 63.
Earthbreaker is now learned at level 96.
#117 – Droply
Flood has been added to its move pool.
Rockfall has been added to its move pool.
Ice Stalactite has been added to its move pool.
Soil Steam has been added to its move pool as a TC.
#118 – Garyo
Rockfall is now learned at level 50.
Earthbreaker is now learned at level 78.
#121 – Broccolem
HP has been increased 79 ⇒ 81.
SPDEF has been increased 73 ⇒ 77.
#122 – Shuine
Crystal Deluge has been removed from its move pool.
Relax has been added to its move pool.
#127 – Kalazu
Laundry has been added to its move pool as a TC.
#129 – Adoroboros
SPDEF has been reduced ~~112~~ ⇒ 107.
#134 – Turoc
HP has been reduced ~~105~~ ⇒ 101.
#147 – Mawtle
Plasma Beam has been added to its move pool.
Resin Trap has been added to its move pool.
#148 – Mawmense
Plasma Beam is now learned at level 55.
#151 – Minox
Blackhole has been added to its move pool.
#152 – Minothor
Piezoelectric Blow is now learned at level 94.
Blackhole is now learned at level 68.
Techniques
Leech
Damage has been increased 95 ⇒ 104.
Leech (Synergy)
Damage has been increased 95 ⇒ 115.
Taifu is quite unexplored right now. We agree, however, that Leech does not have the potential we would like for it after the “rework”. We hope this buff will allow us to have more data about Taifu to see what possible changes it might need in the future.
Rockfall
Damage has been increased 75 ⇒ 83.
Rockfall (Synergy)
Damage has been increased 75 ⇒ 83.
Nerfing Turoc and Tactical Strike might not be enough to help the rest of Physical Earth Temtem. Rockfall should keep being a great technique on Turoc’s move pool but it should also be a better tool for the rest of Earth Temtem that have access to it.
Hook
STA Cost has been reduced 24 ⇒ 19.
After changing Slingshot with the arrival of the new season, users of this technique have fallen in use substantially. The reduction of its Stamina cost should help some Hook users to improve in the meta while we analyze them for the next upcoming season.
Diamond Fort
Hold turns have been reduced 3 ⇒ 2.
STA Cost has been increased 17 ⇒ 19.
The changes made to this technique didn’t quite meet our expectations, so we’re bringing back its original hold to see if this move has the value we originally wanted for it. Additionally, we’re keeping a close watch on certain users for potential adjustments in the upcoming season.
Misogi
Clear all Stage modifications effect has been removed.
Clear all negative Stage modifications effect has been added.
Misogi (Synergy)
Clear all negative Stage modifications effect has been removed.
Clear all Stage modifications effect has been added.
After reading the feedback for this technique we’ve seen that the idea was good for stall/bulky Temtem. However, it might have posed a challenge in terms of usability due to a crucial effect being linked to a Synergy. This change should help to clear debuffs and allow Temtem to stay a bit more in battle to help them do their thing. The “reset” aspect will remain tied to the Synergy, ensuring its effectiveness in various scenarios.
Sludge Gift
STA Cost has been increased 9 ⇒ 13.
Chain Heal
STA Cost has been reduced 23 ⇒ 18.
Stone Wall
STA Cost has been reduced 18 ⇒ 15.
Hyperkinetic Strike
STA Cost has been reduced 28 ⇒ 25.
DNA Extraction
SPD Stage modification has been reduced 2 ⇒ 1.
Damage has been reduced 25 ⇒ 20.
Hibernate
% STA recovery has been reduced ~~35%~~ ⇒ 15%.
The main winner with the rework of Building Blocks, Yowlar, had to receive an adjustment in the form of a nerf for Hibernate. The HP recovery it was getting proved to be more than sufficient for this Temtem, so this change might help cut down on the time Yowlar spends in battles, all while maintaining a more balanced approach.

While we were quite pleased with the rework we implemented for this Gear this Season, it might be overperforming. We’re going to extend the number of turns required for the Gear to be activated, and we’re even considering a complete overhaul for the next Season. This Season’s rework had a notable impact on the game, and looking back at examples like Slingshot or Morale-Boosting Whip, we’ve come to the conclusion that providing “free” stats through Gears is something we want to steer clear of moving forward.
Morale-Boosting Whip
STA reduction has been reduced ~~25%~~ ⇒ 20%.
