Patch 0.1.37

New patch (0.1.37) is out with a lot of balance changes! :)

Patch Goals:

• Move cards closer to desired power level to smooth out power levels
• more gradual power-level of cards, with less powerful tempo cards and shorter durations
• making cards broader and more playable more often

New:

• New keyword: Lingering: If I die, other characters keep the buff they have from my Aura or Boost for the fight.
• New keyword: Target:Low: I try to attack a character with less hp than my attack.
• New item: Weak Magnet. 4/0 Level 4: 3 gold. My Wearer has Target:Low.
• You can target shop characters with targetable spells.
• New setting for hover delay.

Balance: General

• Removed free roll. This will be tested to make decisions in shop matter more and increase player agency by reducing high-roll potential of everyone in the lobby.
• Increased hand size to 6

Heroes

• Bearskin: 1x2 -> 0x2
• Fafnir: Aura +2/1 -> +2/0 (could also do +1/1 but that feels very low for me rn - could do 0x2 -> 1x2 then)
