ALTERNATIVE MASTER PERKS FEATURE
With the 2.6 update we have released the Alternative Master Perks feature!
This expands the possibilities available to each master by giving them options for which perks to use during matches! With this initial release we are releasing one new perk for each master and we will be releasing more perks in future patches.
The new perks aim to do a variety of things. Some are meant to be options available to the master as a response to enemies decks or the specific situation. Some are meant to make deckbuilding with the master more flexible. Some are meant to shake up the play style by letting the master be more proactive and aggressive or more controlling and defensive.
You can select which perk to use by swapping which perk is your preference for any given master in the main menu, this selection will then be saved to your currently selected deck in the customization menu.
But if you get into a match and realise that your perk choice simply won’t work against your opponents deck you can also swap your perks out in the middle of the match, up until the point where you get enough XP to activate the perk, at which point your selected perk will be locked in for the rest of the match.
SELECTING PERKS
In the customization menu when viewing the details of a perk, if an alternative perk is available a second perk icon will be visible at the top. Clicking this icon will switch your selected perk to the alternative and let you see the details of the alternate perk.
Similarly in matches you can click on your perks and if an alternative perk is available for that perk you can click the perk icon for the perk to switch to it. Whichever perk you have selected when reaching the XP threshold to activate the perk will then be activated and you can no longer change it.
