Update: 0.9.1 patch notes

Features:

• Huge rework on runs length and dynamic, starting monsters and rewards for missions, as well as an overall balancing! This is in anticipation of the Ascension system we are working on and the Archives section where players will be able to unlock new hidden artefacts that will be available soon.
  
• New master selection with a beautiful map for each master!
  
• 20 new Artefacts to discover!
  
• New monster for players who subscribe to the newsletter: the Grief Weaver! You just need to redeem the code sent by mail on the main menu to add it to the available monsters pool.
  
• 2 new Status effects: Guaranteed Critical and Dodge!
  

Improvements:

• Default missions (previously called archetypes) are now a bit shorter than a year with specific weeks and enemies difficulty patterns. Each mission comes with its own repartition of heroes Tiers and levels. The reason for this was to make the game more dynamic, making the progression during a run less linear and slow. Reducing the length of the easiest parts of a run that were not really fun to play will allow players to dive into serious stuff more quickly. Players still eager to play during 2 years like prior to the update can use the customization settings to do so.
  
• Missions are no longer unlocked depending on the master level, but require to finish the previous mission instead.
  
• Enchantress is now unlocked when Slaveholder reaches level 5 and Engineer is now unlocked when Enchantress reaches level 3.

• Enchantress’ promotion spells are now displayed and called “arcane spells” for better comprehension.
  
• Mousing over a dungeon in the Schedule scene will now display all the dungeons tooltips available for the week.
  
• In addition to Bonuses and Penalties, some effects are now considered as Statuses. They are displayed with gold text. Stunned, Guaranteed Critical, Dodge and Active Artefacts are considered as Statuses.
  
• Statuses are only removed when their effect is triggered. Statuses don’t lose any stacks when heroes are exploring a dungeon like other effects.
  
• When monsters are defeated, they will now either lose 1 or 2 Motivation. The final amount lost can be altered by game effects like talents or passives.
  
• Heroes groups generation has been improved.
  
• Players can now skip trap rooms if they don’t want to place a trap.
  

Balancing:

• All monsters and heroes have received balancing adjustments. Most of the changes have been made to increase fights duration, to reduce the chances for tanks and medium life pool monsters to be one shot by heroes, as well as better differentiate monsters archetypes. It has of course been done accordingly to the new artefacts power and new runs parameters.

• Leveling monsters to level 4 now requires some Blood to justify the real power spike it represents (15 for rare monsters, 10 for the others).
  
• Most of the existing Artefacts have been reworked or balanced.
  
• Artefacts are now all considered as normal rarity. The rare reward for defending a dungeon from a group of adventurers containing a champion can now contain a normal artefact accordingly.
  
• Orc, Yetigo, Gnoll, Ghost, Infernal Guardian, Jubokko, Skeleton Magus, Skeleton Archer, Skeleton Lord, Skeleton Dog and Skeleton Warrior have received either a new attack mechanic or had their passive reworked.
  
• Morale percent given back to heroes by the Campfire resting room has been reduced from 30% to 20%.
