Features

• Lots and lots of performance optimizations.
  
• In-game news screen, to better keep our community up to date on upcoming content.
  
• The Chamber hall information is much clearer, only showing the modifier (because I’m balancing the show behind the scenes when you get good ones anyway!)

• Champions:

  • Aftershock kills now count as caused by Volcanic Strike, so it can chain reaction.
    
  • Masochistic Blade reworked: "+65% Damage. 10% risk of taking 5 Damage when you deal a hit." It now counts each hit of an AoE attack, rather than just dealing damage for it once.

  • Frank's rocket attack made slightly easier to dodge.
    
  • Graw made less punishing at close range.

  • Alden no longer stumbles when hit.
    
  • Bannerman no longer heals himself. Healing reduced to 8 per second.

  • Chargers can appear in Dungeon 2.
    
  • Chasing Ghost level 2 now has more damage and a longer charge. Can appear in Dungeon 3.

• All contestants now have 100 health (150 after all quest rewards).
  
• Health globes now scale less with increased max health (+40 max health now gives +1 healing instead of +2).

• The Crucible profile gold rewards increased by 50% (later campaigns still award more).

• Some quests don’t count progress properly, such as “Beat 15 arenas with your companion surviving” and “Kill X enemies with your companion”.
  
• Some enemies have a tendency to hit themselves with their own shots. The NovaRat is one such example.
  
• Sometimes the Wheel of Fortune spins and breaks, meaning it doesn't give you a card and you can't spin again. Restart the game to fix it :)
  

Features

• Voices for all champions are now in the game! Through collaboration with voice actors from around the world the characters in the game are beginning to “voice” their opinion on what you do and how you play.

• Siphon Strength boon nerfed from 4 to 3 health per card played.

• Disabled debug/cheat codes. Codes we announce in patch notes and those for purely visual debugging should still work.
  
• Fists of Fury was multiplying with other attack speed increases rather than stacking additively.
  

Features

• Path To Honor (Rogue mode): This is the main/expert mode of the game, intended for those who have played through Path to Recognition for initial familiarity and unlocks. These runs are faster and more rewarding (particularly once we add card unlocks). You commit to a full run with the same champion/deck and see how far you can make it before you can no longer win enough to keep up with the demands of the fickle audience. Hint: Stay ahead of the red bar.
  
• Major consumable rework. We are experimenting with changes to these cards: Consumer, Engineer, Mirror Match, The Real Deal, HoloBanisher, Hypnotize, Combat Healing Potion, Bomb Drone, Chaotic Illumination, Brofist Blink, Taunt, Pocket Shield, Boots of Speed, Scroll of Raining Daggers.

Features

• New campaign structure:
  You start as a gladiator and have to make your way through Bronze, Silver and Gold league to face the final boss. As you win battles, you earn glory that lets you challenge league champions and climb the ranks.
  
  In each league, you always have a choice of 4 battles. The left-most one is the intended learning curve for new players. The harder ones let you progress faster and see more difficult modifiers/worlds sooner, but you're not missing out on anything by playing normal (leftmost) difficulty.
  
  This is the intended intro flow where you can freely change decks and champions (no in-game GUI yet exit to main menu to change). In later updates, we plan to award upgrades as you're progressing (game balance already assumes you have them, so might be overly tough this build) and the main mode, which is more challenging and roguelike in nature.
  
  
• Starter/default decks made more interesting to play with.
  
• Can now change graphics settings by pressing escape.
  
• Dailies now have both One Try and Unlimited Try modes.
  
• UI has been reworked to a sleeker style. Still a work in progress, so some old GUI may be present :)
  

Balance

• Dailies difficulty increases more dramatically with arena/battle progression.
  
• Portal spawn rate is now based on the difficulty of the specific battle, rather than the difficulty of the battle line.
  
• Boss stats are now based on the difficulty of the specific battle, rather than the difficulty of the battle line.
  
• Ravager card Don't Blink buffed from +25% to +40% Strafe distance.
  
• Nerfed health globe droprate by ~10%.

Fixes

• Surge Flow now correctly ends after 4 card phases.
  
• Allies (e.g. puffs and companion) can no longer die after the arena is completed.
