The update introduces optional Adaptive Difficulty, disabled by default. It also revises Sariel interactions and Genessa’s repeated-Doubles behavior; launch-era ability combinations need a version check.
Which guidance needs a version check?
| Topic | What to reconsider | Guide |
|---|---|---|
| Difficulty | Night Mode and adaptive easing are different rules. | Mortal Shell 2 Adaptive Difficulty: Settings & Night Mode |
| Sariel | Do not assume old indoor targeting failures define the current kit. | Sariel the Endless |
| Genessa | Infinite-resource combinations are historical context. | Genessa the Wayward |
| Smert | Check summon interactions against the current tooltip. | Smert the Apostate |
