IEH2 [ver. 4.2.1.1] Damage & HP Limit Break!

Hello, everyone!

It’s been a month since The Biggerest Update, and seeing so many of you enjoying IEH again means so much. Thank you!

The highlight of this update is a breakthrough seven years in the making. Since IEH1, numerical limits have been a challenge I’ve wrestled with—and we’ve finally broken through! The 1e300 damage cap is gone, and both HP and damage can now reach beyond the old limits.

This update also brings 30 new Ordeals, new Relic Passives, more WA3 automation, and many other improvements. If you’ve been away for a while, come back and see how far your Heroes can go!

Damage & HP Limit Break

• Removed the 1e300 damage cap and added support for HP and damage values beyond the previous numerical limits.
• Removed monster level scaling compression above Lv3000. Monsters in Unicorn Area 8 at Difficulty 20 can now reach Lv4320.

WA3

• Added Lv60–100 Relic Passives for all 50 Relics.
• Increased the maximum level of Heart Stone Upgrade [Beastmaster’s Legacy] to 13. At Lv13, Pet Rank, Level, and Loyalty carry over between WA3 Runs.
• Added WA3 Accomplishment Reward #120, which increases the maximum levels of Area and Dungeon Prestige Upgrades.
• Added Ordeals 31–60, featuring new challenges and rewards.
• Added two new Fractures: and . Both unlock upon completing Ordeal 31.
• Added to Epic Store > Special 2. Available only outside WA3 Runs.
• With WA3 Accomplishment Reward #35 unlocked, Boss Spider’s Active Effect now recognizes Area Missions completed in previous WA3 Runs. Clearing an area within 1 second automatically completes those missions again, including No Equipment and Only Base Attack Skill missions.
• Main and WA3 Runs now have separate Number Format settings. New WA3 Runs inherit the previous Run’s setting.
• Boss Treant Pet’s Auto Buy WA1 Upgrade target levels now carry over between WA3 Runs, including retries.
• Added the tab in WA3, where you can view your three most recent WA3 Runs.
• Completing Ordeal 40 unlocks Spirit Essence Passive Gain, allowing you to earn Spirit Essence automatically while playing on Main.

WA3 Automation

• Added to Epic Store > WA3. Automatically ends a Run when its remaining time reaches your specified threshold.
• Added a WA3 Settings option to automatically enable Auto Rebirth for all Heroes at the start of each WA3 Run. Auto Rebirth only operates when the required Pet Rank and Active Effect conditions are met.
• Added Auto Challenge support for WA3 Runs.

Auto Challenge requires all of the following:

• WA3 Accomplishment Reward #115 unlocked
• WA2 Accomplishment Reward #90 unlocked
• The corresponding Boss Pet at Rank 1 or higher, with its Active Effect enabled
• A sufficient Monty Punching Bag score

Eligible challenges are automatically cleared at Run start and after WA1/WA2, with their rewards and corresponding WA3 Accomplishments applied immediately.

Each challenge must first be defeated in actual combat during a WA3 Run with the same Fractures, or a configuration containing all currently enabled Fractures. When Single Vanguard is enabled, the recorded clear must use the same Hero. Solo challenges retain their existing behavior.

Nitro Reactor

• Added an converter tab, unlocked at Nitro Reactor Milestone 3500. Exchange seven types of normal Anvils for Reactor Points.
• All Nitro Reactor converters now grant 1, 2, 3, … Reactor Points on successive purchases, with progression tracked separately for each exchange.
• Existing saves receive a one-time retroactive bonus for past converter purchases, including purchases across all Reactor loadouts. Shop purchases remain unchanged.
• Added new Nitro Reactor Milestones.

Offline Progress & Other Improvements

• Improved to include progress from both the active Hero and passive Heroes.
• now applies your selected Nitro Speed when Nitro is ON and Purple Flametiger can sustain it indefinitely using the selected potion.
• Added offline Rebirth Count and Rebirth Point gains for Heroes with Auto Rebirth enabled, provided they can meet the Rebirth requirements after a single area clear.
• Added a “Calculating... Please wait.” tooltip to the Epic Store purchase button while its rewards are being calculated.
• Added Steam leaderboards for Monty Punching Bag and Monty Bullet Hell.
• Boss and Metal Pets already acquired in Main or the current WA3 Run can now be ranked up in the Pet Shop without defeating them again during that Run.
• Improved Simulation accuracy.
• Added processing budgets and time limits to Simulations to reduce lag during lengthy calculations. Simulations that reach the time limit now display an inconclusive result instead of a clear failure.
• Added to Dungeon Prestige Upgrades, increasing damage against the region’s monsters.
• Added Area Mission Milestones #5350, #5450, #5550, #6050, #6150, #6850, #6900, #7000, #7150, #7200, #7400, and #7450.
