Corruption Delving, the main endgame content, now carries modifiers that change conditions for each run, along with new enemy encounters.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe core combat stays on rock-paper-scissors. Signs counter one another, Gems combine for enhancement, and Artifacts supply equipment, with each card taking up to three modifiers. Faction choice shapes the build: scissors leans on heavy damage, rock on defense, paper on buffs. Hasty or heavy actions build Cramps, a trembling of the hand that limits options until recovered.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"Handmancers hit 1.0 with every roadmap item from its May 5, 2026 early access launch complete.
