PATCH NOTES V0.6

Bugfixes/Features

  • Ranked League mode

    • Must be level 6 to participate

    • Four tiers: Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Mythril (highest)

    • Each tier has 10 ranks (10 is highest)

    • Wins against evenly matched opponents get 30 RP

  • Slight improvements to the overall reconnect experience

  • Your player portrait in the combat view now plays the connection interrupted effect when your connection is disrupted

Tuning

  • Doublethink

    • DAMAGE: Equal to combat damage dealt → Equal to power

Calculating the effects of Doublethink and False Mjölnir can be complicated, given they are non-combat damage procs that used to scale with combat damage dealt. By simply tying the damage to the amount of power a cursed minion has, hopefully you only have to think once to see that these spells are more effective against high threat minions.


  • False Mjölnir

    • DAMAGE: Equal to combat damage dealt → Equal to power

(See Doublethink above for context!)


  • Freki Sidecar

    • BUFF ADJACENT: +1/+0 and Rush → Just Rush


  • Ice Spike

    • TARGETING: Deal 3 damage. → Deal 3 damage to a minion.

In most cases, Ice Spike is best used on minions, (AI shenanigans aside!) especially given the Piercing property. So we’re taking this opportunity to switch its identity with Ignition a bit, giving that spell the minor ability to finish off a player with very low life instead.


  • Ignition

    • TARGETING: Deal 2 damage to a minion. → Deal 2 damage.

(See Ice Spike above for context!)


  • Jotun Shatterfist

    • SIZE: 4/9 → 3/9

    • DAMAGED BUFF: +1/+0 → +2/+0


  • Ourania Muse

    • STARTING ENERGY: 1 → 0

Delaying the celestial payoff by a turn should afford opponents more opportunities to mount an offensive before she draws the very tools that wind up protecting her.

Art

  • Animated effects in various parts of the game: mythgard logo, escape menu logo, tooltip borders, crafting ui, etc.

  • New tree on game board
