BatoForge analysis // Balance and fixes
What this update means for your run
Hotfix 1.0.1 changes Sukoi’s levelling support and cuts Beetdown’s victory reward alongside save, sign-in, tutorial, and controller repairs.
- Normal Sukoi’s granted maximum level becomes 3. Shiny Sukoi still reaches level 4 but supports only the ally above, so its old adjacent formation needs rearranging.
- Beetdown’s Damage per victory falls from 300 to 250. Three received rewards would add 750 instead of 900 Damage from this effect.
Before using an older guide
Check Sukoi’s target position and Beetdown’s accumulated reward when updating an older team. The save repair addresses sessions that stopped saving after a server problem.

Server Issues I've been doing work on the server to try and fix server connectivity problems. It should be more stable now. I will continue to focus on resolving server issues for the next few days. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Bugfixes
Fixed your profile quietly giving up on saving for the rest of the session when the server had a bad moment, so your rank, wins and Batopedia progress rolled back to an older state the next time you played.
Fixed Steam sign-in on mobile often failing, and taking several tries to get through.
Fixed Steam and Google sign-in on Android 11 and older finishing in the browser but never returning to the game.
Fixed the "Tap your new Batomon" tutorial step not advancing on mobile when you tapped the monster it was pointing at.
Fixed being able to open Settings, the Batopedia or Quit while a tutorial step was waiting on you, which left the tutorial drawn on top of them.
Fixed the Patch Notes, Mobile and Discord buttons on the title screen being unreachable with a controller.
Fixed losing controller focus after taking a screenshot on the run summary, after closing the ranked tutorial on the Rank Up screen, and after the first trinket gift tutorial.
Fixed the Batopedia's trophy, medal and star help buttons being unreachable with a controller.
Fixed the Extended Mode prompt being impossible to type into with a controller, and B closing the whole settings menu behind it.
Fixed A and B doing nothing on a second connected controller.
Fixed dialogue text revealing at half speed on Steam Deck.
