BatoForge analysis // Features and balance
What this update means for your run
The 1.0.0 release adds Jinto, six Trainers, more Trinkets, and new events. Higher late-day base HP and a slower Geminiss also change the pace of teams brought forward from the demo.
- The inspect sheet and Run History expose full abilities, evolution chains, and battle contributions. New position and type indicators make support conditions easier to read.
- Level 4 uses the level 3 sell price. Ranked seasons also reset players to Bronze 8 at season end.
Before using an older guide
Revisit demo-era budgets and late-battle timing. The announcement describes higher late-day HP without a full day-by-day table; later 1.x patches may replace the values listed here.

Balance Changes
Team HP pool Increased Base HP at day 10+ Fights were regularly over in under 2 seconds at late game, which was too fast to be readable or satisfying.
