Update 1 Patch Notes

Update 1 is the first major content update for LumenTale: Memories of Trey. It released on September 29, 2026 on Steam and Nintendo Switch on the same day, together with a launch trailer on the game's official channel. The update was first planned for July 2026 and was held back so that both versions could get it at once; the developer later named a serious issue with the Japanese version on Nintendo Switch as the reason, and the update's notes list that crash as fixed. A hotfix followed on Steam on October 8, 2026 and changed some of the battle numbers again, so read the hotfix section first. For fixes from the earlier patches, see Known Issues, and for the wider timeline, see News and Game Info.

Update 1 Hotfix (October 8, 2026)

The hotfix reached Steam on October 8, 2026. Based on community feedback after Update 1 went live, the developer reverted the new damage modifiers on the standard settings and added a new difficulty for players who preferred the harder fights.

Change	Detail
Easy and Normal damage	Reverted to the values used before Update 1
Easy and Normal TP gain	Reverted to the values used before Update 1
Advanced difficulty	New option that keeps the damage changes introduced in Update 1
Online battles	Use the Advanced difficulty values

In practice, Easy and Normal now use the Before column of the damage table below, while Advanced and online battles use the Update 1 column. The hotfix notes do not say whether the level-difference penalty, the Agility change, or the other Update 1 battle rules still apply on Easy and Normal. As of October 13, 2026, a matching hotfix for the Nintendo Switch version had not been announced. See Difficulty Differences and How to Change for how the settings compare.

Battle Balance Overhaul

Update 1 reworked battle damage so that fights last longer and a single powerful attack decides less. All damage was halved, resisted attacks became less punishing, and critical hits were weakened, which leaves more room for buffs, items, TP, and switching.

Change	Before Update 1	Update 1
Overall Damage	x1.0	x0.5
Not Very Effective	x0.33	x0.67
Super Effective	x1.5	x1.5
No Effect / Neutral	x0 / x1.0	Unchanged
Critical Hit Damage	x1.8	x1.3

Level-Difference Damage

Update 1 also added a damage penalty when an Animon attacks a non-boss enemy that is higher level than itself. The bigger the gap, the less damage the attack deals. Bosses are not affected.

Level Difference	Damage Multiplier
2 Levels	x0.92
3 Levels	x0.82
5 Levels	x0.50
7+ Levels	x0.20

The notes do not list values for gaps of 1, 4, or 6 levels.

Accuracy, TP, and Skills

Change	Detail
Accuracy and Evasion	Agility has less influence on accuracy and evasion, so each Agility stage matters less for hit chance
Ally-Targeted Skills	Skills aimed at allied Animon, including healing and support skills, now always connect
TP Cap	An attack can award at most 2 TP: 1 from a weakness hit and 1 from a critical hit. Hitting the weaknesses of two Animon with one attack gives only 1 TP
Sereum Synchro	Used with an Animon trait, it can substitute for one of the two TP sources, so the attack earns at least 1 TP
TP Fixes	TP is now awarded correctly after actions, the TP hit animation only plays when TP actually increases, and end-of-turn skills can cost 0 TP
Area Skills	Fixed some area-of-effect skills hitting the same battler more than once
Switching	Switching Animon now applies and removes the relevant effects correctly
Skill Effects	Fixed several effect duration issues, improved targeting restrictions, and corrected form-change effects and battle states
Healing Skills	Several healing skills received significant improvements

The October 8 hotfix restored the earlier TP gain on Easy and Normal, so the TP rules above are described as Update 1 shipped them.

Boss Changes

Boss SP bonuses now apply from Normal difficulty upward.
Bosses get 2 extra turns on Normal and above, and 1 extra turn on lower difficulties.
Fixed bosses sometimes failing to change forms correctly during battle, along with other boss battle and form issues.
Boss skills and boss levels were corrected in several situations.

See List of Bosses for the bosses these rules apply to.

Ace Mode Overhaul

Ace, the hardest of the launch difficulties, was made considerably tougher. You now deal 28% less damage, while the damage you take is the same as on Normal. Enemies can act first at the start of each round regardless of Speed, the enemy AI is significantly improved, healing is restricted (the update's preview clip labels this as no healing items), and EXP gains are cut. Bosses keep their increased SP and extra turns. The Anispace lock that Ace had at launch was removed, so you can use the Anispace without restrictions on Ace.

Rule	Before Update 1	Update 1
Enemy Turn Priority	Based on speed	First 3 slots reserved for enemies in Lumen battles
Player to Enemy Damage	x1.0	x0.72
Enemy to Player Damage	x1.2	x1.0
Battle EXP	x1.0	x0.33
Defeat EXP	x1.0	x0.25
EXP from Overworld Catches	Full	x0
EXP from Recycling Items	x1.0	x0.1

Exploration and Features

Feature	What Changed
Fountain Teleports	Fountains now act as teleport points, so you can travel quickly between Fountains you have already discovered. The notes headline this as craftable Fountain teleports without explaining the crafting step
Fountain Autosave	The game saves automatically when you pass near a Fountain
Hidden Type as a Holoken Power	An Animon's Hidden Type now counts as a valid Holoken Power
Water Bubbles	The water bubbles used as a Holoken Power move faster
Talea Map	Your current position is shown on the Talea map, and the map centres on you when opened, where possible
Rare Animon	Rare Animon are encountered more often while exploring
Capture Difficulty	A wild Animon at least 5 levels above the highest-level Animon in your party has a capture chance of 1 in 10,000. This applies only in battle
Animon Scaling	Fixed level scaling issues, including cases where evolved Animon could not appear with higher-level Lumens
Post-Game	Post-game progression and the activities available after the main story are now clearer
Anispace	Furniture that trains Animon is clearly marked, a Quick Grab feature makes managing Animon and collecting items easier, online visits were streamlined, and several visit and interaction issues were fixed

Animated clip of Fountain area teleports: the player stands at a Fountain in Area 01, the map asks Would you like to go to Area 09, and the player arrives in Area 09 — Fountain area teleports, from the Update 1 preview

Final Dungeon Holoken Power (Spoilers)

The Holoken Power you obtain in the final dungeon no longer needs a quick-time event to trigger interactions, and it now has its own tutorial. After you complete the game, it stays in your Holoken and triggers any elemental object, whatever that object's current element, without a quick-time event.
