v1.1.10b Patch Notes

• Tutorial
  
  
  
  • Tutorials are now themed by your faction selection
    
  • Tutorial rewards now include specific cards for your faction
    
  
  
• Matchmaking
  
  
  
  • Did some further adjustments to the matchmaker in order to lessen queue times.
    
  • We will continue to monitor this and make adjustments as needed.
    
  
  

• Charge - cooldown increased to 2
  
• Knowledge now triggers when owner draws cards on opponents turn, not just on own turn. Knowledge now grants +2 DMG and +5 Max Health whenever you draw a card
  
• Buliwyf - Escalate ability no longer adds DEF
  

• Fixed some issues causing Quick Matches to get stuck and then forfeit
  
• Corrected an issue that could cause the Deck Manager and Card Fusion pages to display less cards of a particular card than you actually owned
  
• Ambush dealing double attack during turn playback is now fixed. This would result in units incorrectly dying during playback and then re-appearing at the start of your turn.
  
• Fixed issue involving Draw Phase that would trigger some abilities additional times during playback. Similar to ambush, this could cause playback to show an incorrect death or not show a death that should have occurred. Both would get corrected at the start of your turn but would cause units to appear/disappear which is confusing.
  
• Fixed Paladin Blade which was doing an extra 10 damage to non-Embercult units.
  
• Fixed some display issues with the Profile Page
  

Patch Notes 1.1.10

• Quickmatch
  
  
  
  • Made improvements to how some events are sent to the other player. This should result in less delay between turns.
