poke-survivor.xyzPokéSurvivor 2026-10-11: Bonds and Fused Moves
The 11 October entry introduced bonds, or vínculos, as a reward for beating a legendary in a rift. Bonds explain why ordinary active-move switching and late-run multi-attack setups are different mechanics.
Published patch date: 2026-10-11. Reviewed: 2026-10-21. Historical notes can contain rules superseded by later patches; this is not a live server-status report.
What Changed
- Winning a rift permits moves to be fused into one slot, with up to four attacks firing together.
- A level-up card reroll button was added, alongside changes to psychic attacks, healers and caps on run-stat cards.
- The author reported fixes for ticket persistence, an upgrade purchase being charged without being recorded, and runs getting stuck after an error.
Current Context
A rift victory grants the bond interaction; it is not a guarantee that the opponent becomes a playable partner. The itch.io listing’s publication date is also 11 October, while the game changelog records its first public version on 7 October.
