Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty has just been patched to add a mechanic called Inner Discipline, along with a number of other adjustments and bug fixes. This comes almost exactly two weeks after the 1.05 patch made the first Wo Long boss somewhat easier by adding a tutorial for the Zhang Liang fight and lowering the HP for his first form.
Team Ninja, the developer behind Wo Long, has earned a reputation for making incredible Souls-like games. Wo Long is the latest and most intricate game in this genre from the studio, which is perhaps best known for the long-running Dead or Alive series of fighting games. The iconic developer also collaborated with Square Enix to create Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin. While its latest release Wo Long has been generally well received, it has its share of flaws and balance issues that Team Ninja seems intent on correcting through consistent updates. The new 1.06 patch is the fourth since Wo Long released on March 3, 2023.
The biggest new feature of Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty version 1.06 is Inner Discipline. This allows players to limit their maximum Morale Rank. In doing so, players can expect more challenging fights against enemies with higher Morale Ranks, but this will also increase the chance of getting rare item drops. The Immortal Wizard Zuo Ci and the Blacksmith Zhu Xia will also now be easier to locate thanks to icons that have been added to the minimap for these characters. Changes have also been made to the way Elixir works. Instead of granting a permanent Morale Rank increase, it is now treated as a buff that adds three points to the player's Morale Rank for a limited time instead of a permanent one-point increase.
There are some caveats to the new Inner Discipline feature; it will be disabled when recruiting or invading other players in Wo Long. Elixir and Burial Flag buffs will also still be applied above the maximum limit, and players will be able to access the new feature via the Battle Flag menu by selecting "Battle Preparation."
In the patch notes, Team Ninja has acknowledged that some players have been inquiring about a bug that prevents them from receiving the "Great Gatherings" achievement. This is meant to be granted when a player has used every Reinforcement character in Wo Long at least once. A handshake icon will now be visible next to the character's name in the Reinforcement menu, allowing players to confirm whether or not they have met the conditions for the achievement.
