Update v1.23, is called Phantom Update, released on July 27, 2021. The following are the official update notes.
Hey Everyone,
We're back with a new update which adds a plethora of arcana and relics along with various quality of life improvements and rebalancing. With this update, Tomi is finally satiated and will no longer be able to hold any new arcana.
