Highlights

• The "Choose a Deck" screen now has a short loading screen when you open it!

Now it opens instantly, and loads the decks in the following frames, improving a lot how it feels.
  
  
  
  
• Decks included in the Celestial Dawn expansion now disclose their origin in the top right corner.

Highlights

• Endless Mode received changes, see below.
  
• Cards now play their draw animation when added to your hand through random effects. (e.g: Harvest Knowledge)
  

Endless Mode changes

• The Eternal Bane and Eternal Sorrow trinkets have been removed from the game. That means that elites will give trinkets again, and player heal effects will no longer have a chance to fail.
  
• The difficulty in Endless Mode now scales exponentially.
  
• Enemies now also grow their speed and their resistances against stuns, slows, and teleports on each loop (the maximum enemy speed has been set to 250)
  
• The trinket limit is now 100. After obtaining 100 trinkets, the following trinkets you would gain disappear on pickup and give you a random stat boost instead. Whenever you have 90 trinkets or more and you hover over a trinket, a small text message appears indicating the number of trinkets you have and the limit.
  
• After the fifth loop, effects that deal damage based on the amount of health/max health enemies have can deal a maximum of 9999 damage.
  
• A new Endless Mode indicator has been added to the top bar, that explains the current difficulty modifiers when hovered.
  
• Additional changes might come in future patches such as limiting the game speed when the FPS drops too low while playing in a high endless loop. Reducing the game speed and enabling Low Performance Mode really help if you're experiencing performance issues!
  

Balance Changes

Cards

Bug Fixes

• Bug Fix: Fixed a crash involving the Mystery Box tower's effect triggering whenever there are no available tower slots left on the map.
  

• 1 new game mode: Siege!
  
  Build your card collection and keep your morale high to survive as many days as possible in the endless siege!
  
  Buy card packs to grow your collection, build towers in the Crystal Mine to increase your income, visit the Sanctuary to restore your morale, and much more!
  
  At the end of each day, you will face a combat in which after the last wave you'll have to open the gates to unleash an endless wave of enemies! You can close the gates at any time to stop more enemies from appearing, but if you do it too soon you'll lose health and morale! On the other hand, if you survive for more time than needed you'll receive a reward... but don't get too greedy, since even though enemies stop spawning after closing the gates, you still have to deal with the ones that are alive!

Bug Fixes

Up until this patch these visual bugs could be removed by activating Low Performance Mode in the Options menu, but now they should be gone in all cases, even without Low Performance Mode active.
  
  
• Bug Fix: The price tags for emblems in shops are now shown in red color when you don't have enough crystals to buy them (this was the case for all other card types, except emblems)
