Update 1.3.4 · Every stand has a trick

PvE is meant to be learned, not out-levelled. A maxed team that ignores types, synergies and its enemies' tricks will hit walls.

Tougher enemies: +25% health and damage in every PvE mode.
Smart from the start: enemies pick their targets carefully from the 4th story stage on (only the first three stages stay gentle).
Level sync: in the story, Alternate Universe, Carry Me, Over Heaven, Requiem, Heaven's Gate, Mirror World and gang raids, a stand more than 10 levels above the enemies fights as if it were 10 levels above them. Stars, items, chips, types and synergies still count in full.
No more easing: 1.3.3 eased each story part to stay where it was with the new crews; that's gone.
Know your matchups: on the same mid-story stages, a team built on the type that beats the enemies won 82 of 140 test fights; the same strength on the type they beat won 1.

In PvE the edge is now ±50% (it was ±40%): +50% damage against a type you beat, −50% against the one that beats you. Duels stay at ±15%.
Each stand page shows its matchups as chips (strong vs, weak vs, and the damage), with a type wheel that lights up that stand's matchups. The combat wiki has the full wheel.

Every LR, UR, SR and R, and 25 SSRs, now have a passive: an always-on ability, with nothing to charge, that works on your team and on the enemy's. Bohemian Rhapsody copies one, Whitesnake can steal one.
The stand page shows each stand's passive, and the wiki's Passive explorer lists them all by rarity, with a search.
Fix: a Heaven's Gate fight that ended during stopped time now lets time move again on screen.

Your first 10-pull has no duplicates: ten different stands. The first-pull card lists every open banner, so you pick the part you want.
Dots where something waits: the menu now marks a daily reward ready to claim, finished Stand Dex sets and stands back from the Crusaders' Journey, on top of quest rewards.
"◂ Continue here": the menu points at the next thing left to do, one at a time: today's daily modes first (Who's that Stand, the puzzle, Mirror World, the dungeon), then the story, then this week's tower and boss rush.
Auto from level 50: an Auto button in PvE fights (story, Adventure modes, Mirror World, tower, dungeon, boss rush and more) lets your team play the rest of the fight on its own.
Welcome back: away 3 days or more? An Arrowhead and 60 energy wait on the home page when you return.
First-week missions: new accounts get seven missions on the Quests page, one more each day, the last one an SSR of your choice.
Daily reward push: with notifications on, your phone tells you when the next daily reward is ready.
Weekly gang goal: every Weekly Road point a member earns also counts for the gang. Three tiers (300, 900 and 1,800 points) each pay every member once: Meteor Dust, a Devil's Palm, then an Arrowhead. See it in the gang's Raid tab.

Every Over Heaven fight now weakens your healing by at least 30% (specials, regeneration and lifesteal). Fights that already cut it harder keep their own rule. Sustain teams could outlast the puzzles instead of solving them.
