Galaxy Diona has also been added to the game!
The Season Pass will last one month and end on Thursday the 30th of July.
Balance
Ardent Aegis
Heal 200 -> 250
Bounty Sniper
New Effect: If you’re behind on XP, gain Shield
Developer Comments
Bounty Sniper was a card that was difficult to justify in most decks. While the effect is strong the mana premium made it very punishing when removed, and the risk of losing board control for the sake of maximising the XP was too high. By giving it a unique Shield condition, we want to help it have an identity of a comeback card while hopefully not impacting the “win more” element of such mechanics.
Call to Arms
Mana Cost 4 -> 5
Disruptor Puff
Teleport Cooldown 5 -> 6
Hypnotize
REWORK: Hypnotise now applies a debuff that causes enemy minions to prioritize attacking their allies. They cannot target the Master Tower, and will still target enemies if there are no valid allies to attack.
Duration 5 -> 6
Developer Comments
Hypnotize has been a fairly problematic card design wise for a while now, particularly in 2v2 game modes, and we've gone through multiple iterations of different designs to create an effect that is more fair to the opponent while retaining the core identity of the spell inflicting chaos in the middle of a fight. In particular, we took issue with it being implemented in cheese strategies such as those with Rock Rivals that offered very little interactivity from the opponent.
Lord Fanriel the Stormcharger
Damage 100 -> 120
Magma Storm
Damage per Rock 200 -> 170
Mordar
Tombstones can now only resurrect minions belonging to Mordar
Tombstone Activation Time 10 -> 8 seconds
Morellia
Number of Skeletons from Book of the Dead 4/8 -> 3/6
Netherstep
Cast Delay 0.5 -> 0 seconds
Poison (Mechanic)
Ticks per Second 1 -> 2
Damage per Tick 20 -> 10
Developer Comments
This solves an issue we had with Poison where we could only make units deal Poison damage in units of 20. By increasing the ticks it allows us to hit much more specific ranges, and also has the side effect of having better visual feedback and being more effective against Shield.
Poison Strike
Duration 6 -> 6.5 seconds
Total Poison Damage 120 -> 130
Resonating Blast Crystal
Damage 120 -> 130
Scratillery
Damage per Rocket 40 -> 50
Shielded Crossbow Dudes
New Effect: If you control no bridges, summon an extra Crossbow Dude.
Skeleton Horde
Skeleton Count 8 -> 9
Styxi
Health 90 -> 140
Swarmer Totem
Production Speed 6 -> 7 Seconds
Troubadour
New: Highland Revelry: Give nearby enemy minions Slow
