Patch 0.1.53

New patch 0.1.53 is out on Steam :) Mobile coming the next days. Huge thanks to @IHSB15 @jwilliamjames @synesthesia for brainstorming new ideas and balance changes :heart:

New:

• It's now possible to re-roll the initial hero select options (cost doubles every reroll, max 3) (cannot reroll in tournament lobbies and custom games)

• Battle Pass changes:

  • To cover server and company costs, we need to change the monetization since it currently isn't financially sustainable. If you have any feedback, please create a post on the Discord server!
  • There is a new battle pass with different benefits. If you still have an old battle pass those benefits will still work until it runs out.
  • The 4th hero choice is now locked. It is unlocked if you have the battle pass or if you use crystals to one-time unlock the slot (for one game).
  • The battle pass now doesn't increase crystal gain anymore.

• There is a new option to subscribe to the Battle Pass - we believe it is more sustainable to have many people with regular small contributions instead of a few people with irregular big contributions.

• Added a level filter in the collection

• Added artist names in the collection for heroes, treasures, spells and items

• Added more title screen interaction (hovering Fluffs, Prince)

• New shop design

• New animation when you get a treasure

• New board skins: Space, Space: Moon, Red Roses, Colorful Roses

• New treasure: Penny For Your Thoughts. Level 2. When you level up, gain 1 gold. (art by CraftPix, Leralasss)

• New treasure: Digging for Gold. Level 4. When you take me, choose from 10 level 2 treasures. (art by CraftPix)

• New treasure: King Midas’s Folly. Level 6. Hidden: You are not King Midas. You receive an additional 4 gold and 1 mana per turn. Your shops offer an additional character, spell, and item. You can no longer receive new treasures. I cannot be destroyed. (art by CraftPix, Leralasss)

• New treasure: Carnival Masks. Level 7. When you take me, choose 3 additional heroes to add to your hero. (art by Leralasss)

• New treasure: Treasure Factory. Level 7. Your shops additionally contain a treasure up to your level. It costs double its level. (art by CraftPix, Moon Tribe, Leralasss)

• New treasure: Wish for more Wishes. Level 8. Every 2 turns, you get a level infinite treasure selection. (art by CraftPix)

• New spell: The Secret of Alchemy. Level 3. 1 gold, 1 mana. Hidden: You have a Treasure. Sacrifice your first treasure to gain 4 gold. (art by Leralasss)

• New item: Hook's Hooking Hook. 2/0 Level 4. 4 gold, 1 mana. Hidden: You have a Pirate. Entrance: If I didn't start on your board, I gain +2/2. (art by CraftPix)

Whimsy comp changes:

• Prince Charming: Now always appears upgraded and with the slipper. Removed the Quest. Added: Entrance: Give your characters with Whimsy +1/0.

• Glass Slipper: Removed "Only Prince Charming can hold me"

• Fairy Transformation: does not increase cost for successive casts anymore.

• Fairy Godmother changed to: Ranged Whimsy 1/0. When you buy a Mage or Fairy, add a Fairy Transformation to your shop. Dying Breath: Add a 0 gold Fairy Transformation to your shop.

Balance:

• Fisher King: +1 -> +0 hp

• Re-enabled (new) Scheherazade

• Sphinx: +2 -> +0 hp

• Bluebell: added Holy tag

• Cat Box: Evil -> Neutral

• Angel Warrior 3/5 -> 3/7

• Little Mermaid: 5/9 -> 6/10

• Sunflower: 1/4 -> 3/5

• Celery Tea now counts for (your own) Whimsy and always reduces the stats (before: did not reduce stats when attacking a character already transformed to a pig)

• Uther: 8/6 -> 7/10 and Boost: 4/2 -> 5/3

• Athena: 9/12 -> 12/16

• Pandora's Box: now summons characters of exactly one level (not "up to")

• Cassandra's Curse added: I cannot be destroyed.

• Gingerbread Muffin changed to: At the start of every fight cast Elementary Insight once. Destroy me after 3 turns.

• Daedalus' Workshop: Items are now free

• Spells cast from characters can be repeated by treasures (e.g. Doublecaster) and will increase spell counters but won't trigger their "consuming" abilities (Morgan, Merlin's Tower).

• Fixed (and re-enabled) Scheherazade

• Fixed rainbow scale not previewing its stats in the shop

• Fixed: If Present turns into a quest character, you can find more of that quest character in the shop
