A new update for Krosmaga has just been released. It contains card balancing, comfort changes on several features, as well as a few things that the community demanded. See the complete list below!
NEW
INTERFACES
Full recycling: it is now possible to recycle cards from your collection, even if you don't have the maximum number authorized. Please note, if you decide to recycle an Infinite card, you will lose the XP and offerings unlocked by this card.
Compensation system: when cards are revised downwards during an update, you will have 15 days from the date of the update to recycle all your cards at the "full rate": fragment earnings will be the same as the creation price of the card.
If you recycle an Infinite card using this system, you will also receive a kama amount corresponding to the XP accumulated on this card, but you will lose all associated offerings.
If a "Krosfinite" card (Krosmic card unlocked by an offering) is affected by the balancing update, the associated Infinite card can be recycled at the full rate via this system.
This system is limited to 3 full-rate recyclings for a Common/Uncommon/Rare card and 1 recycling for a Krosmic/Infinite card.
The cards concerned by this system are those modified by patch 1.3 and the cards modified during the last balancing patch (1.1 on March 30th 2017).
Dual spectator mode: it is now possible to watch a match from the points of view (Dofus and cards in hand) of both players at the same time. To do so, you'll need to be friends with both players in the match, choose the "watch" option for one of them in the friend list, then, once the match has started, choose the same option for the opponent.
Friend list: it is now possible to filter by spectators only in the friend list.
Invitation to watch: you can now invite a person to watch your match as a spectator even if you have deactivated spectator mode in your settings.
The button allowing you to filter only cards owned in the collection has been replaced by a drop-down menu with the following options: all cards/cards owned/cards not owned/new cards/cards that can be used with the compensation system.
It is now no longer possible to obtain cards that appear in the basic gods decks in the boosters.
PATCHES
IN COMBAT
GENERAL
The available turn playing time in a game against the AI (training or unlocking a god) has been increased to 180 seconds.
CARTES
Oscar Kass: his Minion cost has been correctly updated if he is picked in the opposing hand.
Crobak Chief: his effect is now correctly applied on allied crows only.
Minions who release a charge when they appear now activate items on the ground (seeds, bombs, etc.) if they should be destroyed during their charge.
BALANCING
NEUTRAL
Midgin Bruiser: Skill changed. "Shield" to "APPEARANCE: Gains shield if an enemy Minion is on its row.
Blue Larva: Attack reduced from 3 to 1.
Tofu Polter: HP reduced from 3 to 2.
IOP
Shake: Skill changed. "Stuns a Minion for 1 turn. Picks 1 card" to "Stuns a Minion for 1 turn". Cost reduced from 3 AP to 2 AP.
INFINITES
Justice ***: Skill changed. "APPEARANCE: When Minion's AT reaches 3, it charges" to "APPEARANCE: When Minion's AT reaches 3, it charges 2 cells."
Bamboo Milk: Skill changed. "The targeted Minion charges" to "The targeted Minion charges 2 cells."
INTERFACES
"Treasure"-type offerings that awarded packs of cards or tokens from Ecaflip Roulette have been modified to award kamas instead.
Rewards in the End-of-Season Chests have been upwardly revised.
Change to the allocation of cards in Dungeon mode: players will receive cards they don't already own or of which they don't own the authorized maximum (1 or 3 cards) as a priority. Once the 10 cards of an instance have been obtained, the following cards will be determined at random.
Players using Steam will no longer get the Foggernaut Platform when they first log in.

You still have a few days to earn this trophy, as the end of the season will happen on May 2nd at 11:00 AM (CEST). You have the whole week-end and Monday left to reach at least rank 6 in Ranked mode and proudly display it in the days that follows!

Time for you to create your best deck and charge headfirst into the arena to climb the ladder!
Season 4 is coming along and will start as soon as Season 3 is over. To give you motivation in your quest for the first place, here are the pedestals and trophies for Season 4! If ‘beastliness’ was the theme of Season 3, ‘purity’ will take its place next month…
The second qualifying tournament for the #SpringKup will be held this week-end, so don’t be shy and hop on Twitch while you’re rushing the end of the season, you may be inspired by some decks shown or win one of the numerous prizes!
Spring Kup: registration open on Friday and first tournament this week-end!
3 week-ends of qualifications, 1 big finale gathering the best players, streams to see everything and a 3000€ cash prize to win at the end, that’s the #SpringKup in a nutshell! You want to feel big emotions? You’re going to get it!
Before we go any further, we have decided to open registration for the next 2 qualifying week-ends, on April 29th-30th and May 6th-7th, starting Friday night (tomorrow) at 7:00 PM (CET, check your local time). It will allow you to save your place quicker than we originally intended. No more last-minute excuses!
Starting at 2 p.m. (CEST): 128th-finals
Starting at 3:30 p.m. (CEST): 64th-finals
Starting at 5 p.m. (CEST): 32nd-finals
Starting at 6:30 p.m. (CEST): 16th-finals
Sunday
Starting at 2 p.m. (CEST): 8th-finals
Starting at 3:30 p.m. (CEST): Quarterfinals
Starting at 5 p.m. (CEST): Semifinals
Starting at 6:30 p.m. (CEST): Final
Matches will be played in BO3 format, which means each player will have to prepare 3 different decks (with 3 different Gods), and will go through a tournament bracket such as this one:
The “Conquest” game format means that if you win, you must change deck for the next battle. To be the best, you'll have to be flexible and a well-rounded competitor! However, if you lose your match, you may choose to keep it for the next round OR change for your other available deck.
Once the tournament bracket has been created on Toornament, and published here, send your opponent a friend request in order to communicate and challenge him*. Before your match even begins, your opponent will have to opportunity to ban one of your decks, and you will do the same.
Here’s an example of how it works (Player X being on the top row of the tournament bracket, Player Y being on the bottom of that same bracket):
Each player announce his first choice of deck in this order:
Player X announce his first choice: Cra
Player Y announce two of his choices: Sacrier and Cra
Player X tells the two remaining choices: Iop and Xelor
Player Y tells his last choice: Iop
Once both players know their opponent’s selection, players will ban one deck each, starting with Player Y:
Player Y bans Iop
Player X bans Iop as well (gee, I wonder why!)
Be warned, your deck selection is only locked for the current battle, players can change their decks between two different opponents.
Once your match is completed, get your scores directly on Toornament! Don’t forget to take a screenshot of your victory before your screen becomes blurry, when you break the second real Dofus.
You can find the tournament rules in this file right here.
*If your opponent takes more than 15 minutes to answer your challenge, he will be declare forfeit and you will win the match.
HOW CAN I WATCH THE TOURNAMENT?
As a spectator or as a contestant, if you’d like to know in real time what is happening on the tournament, try to log in to Discord. A special channel dedicated to the tournament has even been created!
It’s also at this place that you can easily contact the tournament’s admins if you have a question or a conflictual situation. They will also be in their separate channel so you can easily spot them!
We’ve also find a way for you to follow the games directly from your couch, on this brand new Krosmaga Twitch channel! While broadcasted mostly in French, you will find there games commented by professional casters such as Proto, Babel and Jeffrey, accompanied by high-ranking players like Midl, Ellie, Gobelyn, Shaodaze, Blurst and AkaOni. Matches will be pre-recorded starting at 2:00 PM and a 30 minutes delay will be applied to the stream in order to avoid streamhacks. And during their broadcast, they will spice things up by giving away free boosters packs and Noxine cards!
As a contestant, don't forget to activate the setting allowing spectator mode on your games. Casters will send you a friend request on Saturday and we will tell you which account(s) to accept as friend(s) as soon as possible.
We hope to see you around to cheer up the contestants! See you on Saturday at 2:00 PM CET!
The Spring Kup: official Krosmaga tournament
Were you thrilled by Krosmaga's first official tournament? Do you want to see a second tournament? Are you eager for wild matches and win big at the end? Then you'll love the Spring Kup!
Winter has been over for a few weeks now, the snow is melting, and water is flowing through the plains of the Krosmoz. The gods are enjoying the view from miles above, and are continuing to enjoy the many fights taking place each day in Krosmaga. They're sipping Bamboo Milk while recollecting the achievements of Shadoaze and Jambonfromagequiroule in the final of the Frozen Arena.
"What if we did it all over again?" suggests Iop, still eager for a fight.
"We'd need more people than last time!" replies Sacrier, already enticed by the smell of blood.
"Oh yes, yes, yes! And let's offer some great things to be won!" Eniripsa goes one further, always so generous.
"Well, in that case, we'll organize a new tournament!" proclaims Ecaflip, happy to hear his companions' suggestion.
And that's how the Spring Kup came into existence. For months on end, Ecaflip's disciples have been preparing this new tournament, and now, we are pleased to present this new grand event to you, with, for the first time, a cash prize of 3000€ on the table!
WHEN?
The tournament will take place over 4 weekends.
The first 3 are reserved for qualifying tournaments, with 256 players competing in each of them, whereas the last one will bring together the 64 best players in one final tournament = the top 16 players of each qualifying tournament + the top 16 players from the April seasonal rankings. We can expect quite the show from them!
The Qualifying Tournaments
Qualifying Tournament I: 256 players: Saturday, April 22 and Sunday, April 23
Qualifying Tournament II: 256 players: Saturday, April 29 and Sunday, April 30
Qualifying Tournament III: 256 players: Saturday, May 6 and Sunday, May 7 > Warning, this tournament will be held entirely in English! If you're an international player and don't quite understand the subtelties of French, register on this tournament, your registration will be prioritized.
Each qualifying tournament will take place as follows:
Saturday
Starting at 2 p.m. (CEST): 128th-finals
Starting at 3:30 p.m. (CEST): 64th-finals
Starting at 5 p.m. (CEST): 32nd-finals

Here is the schedule:
Saturday

These times are for information only and may be modified if the tournament is delayed due to an unforeseen event.
HOW CAN YOU TAKE PART?
Registration for the qualifying tournaments will open 4 days before the start of the tournaments: at 7 p.m. (CEST) on the Tuesday before the tournament. Be sure to have your whole week-end free of any obligations before registering. It would be a shame if you would hold a place on the tournament without competing in it after all (you may have to re-schedule your latest TV show binge). You will receive an e-mail from Toornament under 48h once your registration has been validated.
First come, first served: be sure to subscribe quickly to the tournament of your choice! In addition, each player can only register for one qualifying tournament, no more. Be sure to select your tournament with care! (If, by any chance, you would register to a tournament but couldn't be selected, by lack of available space for instance, you will have the right to register for another tournament)
In order to take part in the final tournament, you'll need to reach the 8th-finals in one of the qualifying tournaments, or be in the top 16 of the April season of ranked matches.
Just in case you don't understand, 16 players will come from qualifying tournament I, 16 players will come from qualifying tournament II, 16 players will come from qualifying tournament III, and the last 16 players will come from the seasonal leaderboard.
If one of the players in the top 16 of the April season manages to qualify in one of the qualifying tournaments or does not wish to take part in the tournament, we will select the 17th from the ranking. Qualifying places will be distributed as such until there are 16 players who wish to take part in the final tournament.
To register for one of the qualifying tournaments, you need to have a Toornament account in your name. You can already create an account here.
When you register for one of the tournaments, make sure you use your in-game nickname. It is very important for the tournament's organization, as it will be difficult get into contact with your opponents during the tournament if you don't.
TOURNAMENT PROGRESSION
All matches in the qualifying tournaments will be BO3* in a tournament tree, whereas matches in the final tournament will be BO5**. You therefore need to prepare at least 3 different decks (using 3 different gods) if you want to take part in one of the qualifying tournaments. You'll need 4 of them if you qualify for the final tournament.
All matches will take place in the "Conquest" style: this means that if you win a match with your deck, you need to change deck for the following fight. If you really want to prove you're the best, you'll need to show how multi-talented you are! This means that if you lose a match with you deck, you can choose to keep your current deck OR change it for the following match.
* BO3 means "Best of 3", which means you have to win 2 times to be declared winner. It results in scores like: 2-0 or 2-1.
** BO5 means "Best of 5", which means you have to win 3 times to be declared winner. It results in scores like: 3-0, 3-1, or 3-2.
For the final tournament, all participants will be distributed randomly, without their place in the qualifying tournament or seasonal leaderboard being taken into account.
THE PRIZES!
You've read it before, we'll say it again: there's a cash prize totaling €3,000 offered in this second official tournament!
Here's what you can win in the qualifying and final tournaments:
Qualifying Tournaments
128th to 65th place: 1 Silver Booster and a Noxine card
64th to 33rd place: 1 Silver Booster, 1 Bronze Booster and a Noxine card

Draft: a new playing mode
You’re a thrill seeker. You love a challenge and breaking your own limits. You want to enlarge your collection while trying out a new playing mode. If that all sounds like you, come and try the Draft mode this week-end!
WHAT IS DRAFT MODE?
It’s a playing mod, different from ranked and unranked matches in which you have to build a new deck out of a selection of random waves of cards; and all while making crucial decisions.
You’ll need a savvy mix of luck and technical skill. Draft mode can win you up to 2,000 Kamas and 1 Gold Pack! But careful not to get too carried away with the “All In”, which can truly go either way...
Start by selecting one God out of a selection of 3. Remember that Krosmaga is a game invented by the god Ecaflip, the god of gambling, luck and chance: so as you’d expect, it’s a spin of the roulette wheel that will decide which Gods you get. If you don’t want the 1st God offered to you, you have two more tries to find one you like!
Once you have your God, you can go to the next part of the game: creating your deck!
As shown below, you have to choose 3 out of 8 cards shown to you. This operation will be repeated 15 times until you have a deck of 45 cards. Then all of the game’s cards are made available and all the usual limitations are lifted! You might have the 5 “storm arrows”, the 3 “Aliberts” or even the 4 “Milkars”! Well, it’s statistically possible, but it probably won’t be a daily occurrence.
Once you have your deck you’re ready to start the first fight!
There are 4 very different levels in the new playing mode. At each level you will play 3 matches. Obviously you will start on the first level where you will be able to win up to 50 tokens per match.
At each new level you can win bigger and bigger prizes. Your goal is leave with as many tokens as possible by losing as little as possible! Warning: 3 losses and you will be shown to the door!
In this image you can see the 4 levels on the left. In the middle you can see your progress in the 3 matches (in this case, 1 win, 1 loss and 1 game still to play). On the right you can see your winnings.
On the 4th and final level your daring, determination, tenacity and cool will be put to the test! This is where have to really show your mettle! You are given the choice to bet everything you have and try to double your winnings... or lose it all! This is called an “All In” in Poker.
Once you have had 12 wins (or 3 losses), you can collect your winnings, which will change depending on how you played!
WHAT CAN YOU WIN?
When you finish your Draft game at the end of level 4 or after 3 losses, you receive a reward chest. What’s inside? Well, that depends on your performance!
To be precise:
Each level corresponds with:
A chest filled with the basic contents
An amount of tokens that can be earned during the match
Level 1 Chest = 1 pack of Bronze cards + 15 to 25 kamas
+ 50 tokens per match
Level 2 (at least 1 win) Chest = 1 pack of Bronze cards + randomly attributed 25 to 35 kamas
+ 100 tokens per match
Level 3 Chest = 1 pack of Bronze cards + randomly attributed 35 to 45 kamas
+ 250 tokens per match
Level 4 Chest = 1 pack of Silver cards + randomly attributed 50 to 60 kamas
+ 600 tokens per match
Tokens are automatically converted into kamas at a rate of 10 to 1: 10 tokens = 1 kama
Here is a table showing you what you can win in Draft mode, with “classic” wins (i.e. without “All In”).
Don’t worry if you decide to have a go and don’t win any matches, you won’t go home empty handed!
If there is an All In on the 4th and final level, the number of tokens won can be doubled.
For example: if you arrive at level IV with 9 wins under your belt, or 1,200 tokens in pocket (50*3 for level 1, 100*3 for level 2 and 250*3 for level 3) and you then win your 10th match after a daring “All In”, you will win a total of: (1200 + 600) x 2 = 3,600 tokens!
To become the Draft Master, you have to win 12 matches, including 3 “All Ins”, to take away a total of 2,000 kamas and 1 gold pack!
So you see, although differences in your collection have no impact on the Draft, this mode is a good way to increase the size of your collection.
Please note: the chests change during the game, they are not cumulative.
HOW CAN I PLAY THIS MODE?
Right now, Draft mode is only available on weekends. To play the game, you have to pay 120 kamas.
The "Draft" button will activate on each Friday at 4:00 PM (CET), and will end on Monday at 6:00 AM (CET). If you haven't finished your draft at that moment, worry not: you will be able to continue it on the next Draft session one week later.
