Cards & Gameplay Changes Reworked how relic acquisition works Removed the rotating relic shop Added 80 guide quests to earn each dual faction relic All Units now behave as though they have the “Thief” keyword. This keyword has been removed from all cards. To promote a more dynamic and engaging mini game around victory points. Removed Signature keyword from all cards. This was not signalled well to players and led to confusion in deck building Many cards have had their leveling curves adjusted such that no cards should have spread values at max level Units standing on a spawning Victory or Mana

Economy Overhaul: We’ve heard you and are making significant improvements to card acquisition. We hope this set of changes lets players develop their collections more quickly, level up more cards, and have greater agency which cards they use in a deck, how they grow their collection, and which cards they upgrade. Pulling a standard card cost reduced from 125 chroma to 40 chroma. Increased drop rate of legendary/epic cards Combination of ~3x more cards and increased drop rate of rarer cards means for a similar level of spend/engagement, you’ll see: ~12x increase in epic cards ~18x increase in l

Patch Note Preamble Hey all! It's been super exciting to see so many of you engage with us and play since the last large patch.

System Changes There has been a lot of time since the last time we patched. We’ve been working hard with a group of playtesters on the card changes to try to create something that people will find fun. We also attempted to bring some more features to the game including seasonal leaderboards and earnable cardbacks. As a secondary note: due to the nature of the card changes, any card which was removed in this patch has been fully refunded and it’s full crafting currency has been returned to you. Seasonal Leaderboards We’ve gone and set up a new Noble Season for people to go and have something to
