The First Descendant Hotfix 1.3.19c Patch Notes (17th April 2026)
A small server-side hotfix corrects two bugs introduced or persisting after Patch 1.3.19, including a cooldown fix for Dia's Avalanche skill.

Two bugs, no download required. Hotfix 1.3.19c is a server-side patch, so if you're already in-game you just need to return to the title screen and reconnect.
The bigger fix here is for Dia's Avalanche skill, whose cooldown failed to update following Patch 1.3.19. It's now correctly set to 40 seconds, down from 60, a meaningful difference for anyone building around her. The tooltip won't reflect the change until Patch 1.3.20, which is a minor annoyance, but at least the actual cooldown is working as intended. The second fix addresses Gley and Ultimate Gley being unable to hit objects with Anti-Void Shield when running the Blood and Iron module alongside the Rampage skill. That's a niche interaction, but for players running that specific build it was effectively breaking a core part of their kit.
Neither fix is dramatic, but cooldown bugs on newer Descendants tend to quietly warp how viable they feel, so getting Dia sorted sooner rather than later is the right call. Everything in the update is listed below.
