1. When Will Patch 0.5 Arrive?
Current prediction: Announcement likely the last week of April (Thursday, as usual), with patch release around May 8th.

Why? Previous patches followed a ~4–5 month cycle. Dawn of the Hunt ran April through late August (~5 months). 0.5 should follow suit.

Some sources (POE1DB) speculate a delay to early June, but May remains the most realistic bet.

2. Swords, Dualist, and New Weapons – Not Coming (Yet)
Jonathan Rogers stated: Releasing a new weapon is harder than releasing a new class.

Introduction: Core Mechanics
Before choosing a class, understand the universal resources and systems in Chrono Odyssey.

Health: Lost when taking damage. Restored via potions, consumables, or certain abilities.

Stamina: Used for dodging, blocking (if your weapon allows it), and some abilities. Passively regenerates.

Dodge Types: Light roll (light armor), dash (medium armor), short hop (heavy armor).

Vigor: Used almost entirely for casting abilities (especially powerful ones). Passively regenerates (starts at 100).
