Balance Changes
Decks
Nuketown [Celestial Dawn]
Coin of Destiny (the deck's unique trinket):
Now it can't convert tiles that have towers placed on them to Nuke tiles. No more unpreventable detonations!
Now it allows each tower that you began the round with to be moved once while the enemy wave is active. Enemies are slipping through your defenses? Reposition towers to new positions to hit them, and/or place some towers into Nuke tiles and make them explode! The lightning icon on the towers indicates their ability to be repositioned during the active wave, just like the Sledgehammer tower!
Nuke tile damage multiplier: -80% >>> -50%
Starting deck
Now starts with 3 Spike Throwers instead of 4 Little Ghosts.
Towers
Double Trouble [Celestial Dawn]
Damage with each projectile: (14, 21, 63) >>> (16, 24, 72)

When placed from your hand during an active wave, it spawns the damaging shockwave and then it can be used again during the same wave!

v1.7.2
Hi everyone! Small patch today, bringing a requested change by increasing maximum game speed a bit, and some changes to improve performance in long survival runs! (in the Celestial Dawn DLC)
Highlights
The maximum game speed is now x4 instead of x3.
[Celestial Dawn DLC] Survival Mode Difficulty Scalings
Up until this patch, the way difficulty increased while playing survival was by steadily ramping up the number of spawned enemies as time progressed, especially after minute 18, since up until that point the scaling is mainly done through the enemies leveling up.
In hindsight, I now see that was a mistake. The reasons are obvious, an infinitely scaling game mode with an infinitely increasing number of enemies spawning means worse performance as minutes go on, until the game can't handle that many enemies anymore and crashes. Rookie mistake, but let's fix that!
From this patch onwards the amount of enemies still increases over time, but once it reaches a limit (about 30-40 enemies at the same time on the screen, depending on the map), incoming enemy flow stabilizes and the scaling is now done mainly by increasing their health and resistances.
This change should drastically improve performance on deep, long survival games. I believe that it should no longer crash, no matter how long the game lasts.
v1.7.1 - Card draw animations!
Smaller patch today with some improvements and bug fixes! I hope you have a great day, thank you so much for playing the game and for reading this! ❤
Highlights
Cards now have animations when drawn!

[Celestial Dawn DLC] An additional information text has been added to Survival mode to further explain how it works

Daily Runs have an extra indicator in the pause menu below the seed number.
Also, as you have seen, a new Game Mode selection menu has been added to the game! This menu has been adapted from Brawl Tactics: Origins, the newest game by asraworks, available now in Early Access!
