• Players may now watch a video ad in exchange for a free quest re-roll, once their standard re-roll allowance has been expended.
  
• Players may do this up to five (5) times per day.
  Store
  
• Players may now receive a timed reward of five (5) Coffee by tapping the “Watch Ad” panel in the Coffee section of the store.
  
• Players may receive this reward every two (2) hours, up to a maximum of five (5) times per day.
  
• Note: a known issue exists in which players will not always see the reward presentation for their Coffee. This Coffee is still added to the player’s total and only the visual presentation is affected. We plan to address this issue in a subsequent release.
  

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed an issue that could allow a player to track the health bar position of an opponent’s invisible Phobie if they used very specific timing.
  
• Fixed an issue that prevented players from being taken to the Quest screen if a quest was completed during their most recent turn.
  
• Fixed an issue that allowed traps to continue to trigger if they were placed under mud.
  Localization

• Fixed an issue that could cause Radihater’s passive attack to trigger if Radihater was killed on the same turn in which it would occur.
  
• Fixed an issue that caused Edgar Allen’s buff to cancel out Ogre’s buff. While buff effects typically do not stack, this was an unintended consequence of that “rule”.
  
• Fixed some visual noise from Tooth Fairy’s wings that was visible if Tooth Fairy was frozen.
  
• Fixed an issue that could cause a crash if a Phobie was killed by lava while on fire; the fire status effect would still attempt to apply damage to a dead Phobie.
  

• Fixed an issue that was preventing the League Advancement presentation from appearing when players graduated to a new league.
  
• Updated the messaging surrounding arena spectating to better communicate the nature of an error a player would encounter.
  

• Fixed an issue that could prevent players from seeing new offers if they had capped out an offer during a previous offer period.
  Stability
  
• Fixed some potential causes of crashes and network desyncs.

• Fixed an issue with Phobies using “push” abilities that could cause the affected targets to be pushed in non-linear directions.

• Fixed visual “danger zone” display for Phobies with ranged AOE Abilities. Visual “danger zone” displays are also no longer blocked by “friendly” Phobies.
  

Replays
