Ember Strike

Update 0.225 - New minions, Conjurations, Gemmed minions, and Tips!
Big big update.

This is the first preview of our Early Access release minion set. The art is still in progress, and there will definitely be rebalancing before release.

- 40 summonable minions now in the game!
- Conjurations: A new mechanic for strikes! You can now summon objects, that attack your enemies, or equip your teammates with abilities or weapons.
- Gemmed Minions: Each gemmed minion used in the battle will give the winner a 10% bonus to the gold reward! Any minion summoned with gems will become gemmed. After you have purchased gems for the first time, any minion you craft with essence will also be gemmed! Non-paying players also get the benefit from gemmed minions.
- We now display tips before PvP matches.

As usual, please let us know what you think, and release is almost here!

Update 0.218 - Minion Powers, Captures, Market, Trading, and more!
The build is available to previous beta players while we are approaching our release which hopefully should be next week! Warning: accounts may be reset again.

Changes!

-Minions no longer have fixed attacks. When you summon any minion, they could be given a slingshot, a cannon, or a missile. Note: Strikes do not vary for the same minion. Duke Bot will always have Arc, but he can now appear with a slingshot, a cannon or a missile. This change paves the way for the cooler strikes that are coming in our next set of minions.
- For captures, battles will no longer pause for your opponent captures. Matches flow much better now. Check it out and please let us know what you think!
- Trading and market! It's very simple right now, but there are some ember gifts that you can give to friends. We have mystics working, and they will be sellable on the market. Mystics will not be available until it is release day.
- Sneak peak at some of the strikes that are still under development.
- Fancier Cannon line and speed streaks.
- Gem values readjusted.
- Fixed big bug where strikes stopped being castable.

Release is almost here! Beta Account reset on next build.
Huge update coming and the next build is the planned build for wide Early Access release! Thanks to all the participated in the beta, and please keep the feedback coming.

Update 0.212 - PvP Win Streaks fixed
Win streaks and total wins are now being properly recorded for PvP.

Update 0.211 - PvP Gold Rewards, PvE balancing, and Strike Guidance.
- PvP now has gold rewards! This was by far our most requested feature. PvP is now the best place to earn gold. The farther along in the map you are and the higher your PvP rank, the more gold you'll earn. This should also help even out matchmaking quite a bit.

- PvE is now a little more gradual in difficulty.

- Capturing to get strike mana is now explained in-game.

- PvP Rank changes now show you more info and look much nicer.

- Music in full stereo.

- Fixed bugs with attack and defense values sometimes being lower than they should on the map.

- Fixed issue where strike would sometimes not activate even though you clicked it.

- Fixed bug with third hero boss battle.

Update 0.210 - Faster board!
Players are reporting that they were waiting to move while the mana stones were falling and and animating. We felt the same way. We've made the board react and fall much quicker and the experience feels much cleaner. Give it a try and let us know!

Update 0.209 - Minion Crafting Fixed
Turns out a bunch of people crafted minions and the next time they logged in the minion was gone. Sorry about that. Anyone who crafted a minion should see it appear in your inventory now.

Update 0.208 - Cursor, Sound, and Quests
We have our first update based on user feedback!

New stuff!
- New mouse cursor
- Some new sound effects. More to come.
- Essence now displayed on map screen
- Quest screens are now way fancier and clearer
- Bug fixes

We're doing our best to prioritize things. If you dont see something talked about on the forums, it just means that we haven't gotten to it yet in our work item list. Some things also just take more time than others.

As usual, please post feedback in the forums!

Servers will be down for game update starting 4:15pm EST!
We'll be pushing out a new update shortly. Please know that you will get logged off automatically if you are in-game until you see the patch notes posted.

Update 0.204 - Brazil and Tokyo servers up!
We just did a quick update and now have a server in Sao Paulo and Tokyo. I hope that helps pings.
