0.5.1 added extra Atlas Passive points, Lineage Support, new elemental passives and Runes QoL on top of the 0.5.0 base.
The pages most affected are Atlas tree Guides, any Build that uses Lineage Support or the new elemental passives, and Runes of Aldur pages.
This is a feature patch, not a content drop; old Atlas routing and Build trees need a re-check.
