Mistfall Hunter July 30 patch adds polearm & shield and buffs Withered Knight

Developer Bellring Games released Mistfall Hunter on July 29 and issued a July 30 patch that gives the Withered Knight a new polearm-and-shield weapon set and boosts several of its attack damages. The Withered Knight previously used only a greatsword in beta and retains high burst potential via its Wither skill plus strong chase tools (dash and grappling hook), making the buffs significant for class balance. The patch also fixes visual issues, console connection problems, game crashes, and an input bug; nearly 30,000 players were on Steam at the time, underscoring the update’s impact on a sizable player base.

• July 30 update adds a polearm-and-shield secondary weapon for the Withered Knight, replacing the beta-era greatsword-only loadout.
• Developers increased damage on multiple polearm attacks and adjusted the Charged Dash energy drain during the shield-raising charge.
• Patch resolves a visual discrepancy with the Sorcerer’s Flameblade, fixes console connection issues and several crash scenarios, and corrects unresponsive keys when quickly closing the guide UI.
• Approximately 30,000 players were playing Mistfall Hunter on Steam at the time of the update, giving the balance and stability fixes immediate reach.
