🔱 Athena Randomizer v0.15.0 — VEILBREAK Format Finalization

Version 0.15.0 brings a sweeping refinement pass to the Base + DLC mode known as VEILBREAK, locking in long-term progression logic, balance updates, and starting condition improvements. This release marks the beginning of the “stable core” phase of the format, making it ideal for both casual play and tournament routing.

It also includes several minor updates and quality-of-life adjustments across other formats.
