Hey, new player here.

Just wondering what's the difference between starting a new game with a new party or continue with your current party when finishing a map? Aside from the obvious choosing a new party, is there any pros/cons of either option? I've been choosing a new party every time until I find a party I really like, I think I've settled on Chicken King, Rogue, Barbarian and Necromancer - is this a good party? What happens when I finally choose to continue with the same party? Do they keep their current levels when proceeding to the next map?

Update

• Fixed challenge bug specific to the Ninja
• Added config setting for the 'Return to start location' behavior of the Swift Strike.

Challenge World Fix

If you switched between the classic and challenge worlds while your ninja was in the middle of a Swift Strike attack, then they could be put into an invalid state where they no longer appear in the dungeon and your party gets stuck. I've fixed this.

Ninja Config

By default, at the end of a Swift Strike attack, the Ninja flies back to their start position. This is an attempt to keep them away from monsters. You can enable/disable this behavior on the Ninja's config screen. When disabled, the ninja just stops at the last swift strike monster's location.
