PATCH NOTES 1.22

Version 1.22 strengthens the six Kings and shortens turns when you have no more moves to make. It also introduces the first alternative card arts. It fixes an orb that remained visible but could not be opened, a game that could get stuck on the first turn, and several Freeze-related effects.

[+] ADDITIONS

Shortened Turns

When you have no possible actions left (the Tox shop is closed and no abilities can be activated), the turn timer drops to 15 seconds.

Alternative Card Arts

The first 7 alternative arts: Nebular Aristocrat, Rock-Eater Blue, Ephial, Keria, King of Blazing Flames, Word Weaver, and Vivy.

Orb History

A new "History" button on the Orbs page lets you view your past openings.

Ice Break Preview

When aiming, the preview shows whether an action will break the ice on a frozen card and includes thaw damage in the damage calculation.

Element Counters

During a match, hover over an element counter to see the bonus it adds to damage and healing.

Deck Order

Reorder your decks by dragging and dropping them in the Collection. The order is also used on the Play screen and in tournaments.

Draw Without Premium Pass

Cards and their prices are now visible, along with a button to purchase the Pass. A notification dot appears on the tab until you have viewed the daily draw.

"Screen Shake" Setting

In the Graphics tab, disable camera shake during matches, when opening orbs, and on the end screen.

Language on First Launch

The game now starts in your Steam language (or your system language), and Subject 042 offers you the option to change it right from the start.

Card Preview

Abilities now display their full cooldown, highlighted in red if it exceeds the base cooldown.

[~] BALANCE CHANGES

The 6 Kings (Fire, Water, Earth, Nature, Light, Shadow)

Blade: damage 40–60 → 30–50, cooldown 5 → 3

Serpentine Heraldess

Sacrifice: cost 7 → 10 Earth

Brutal Passive

A direct hit destroys the enemy Shield and deals its damage without reduction.

[x] FIXES

Orbs

An orb no longer remains visible but impossible to open after opening two orbs at once. Rewards are now credited as soon as the server responds, even if the animation is interrupted, with a notification if you haven't seen them.

Match Stuck on the First Turn

Mystery could draw Metamorph before the match began (Paguroniyx, Flamewatch Insect, The Ebony Orb, Apprentice Summoner, Mystery talent). The timer no longer displays a negative value after reconnecting.

Metamorph on a Frozen Card

The card remains frozen while choosing a replacement, and the new card is the one affected by thaw damage. Previously, a lethal thaw caused the new card to disappear.

Freeze

When thaw damage kills a card, the elimination is now credited to the card that broke the ice (Avenger, on-elimination effects, finisher).

Resurrection (Ashtarae Lycaria, Transition talent)

The card returns with its Tox and talent, just like Phoenix.

Avenger

Now also triggers when played onto an immune card.

Enemy Card Preview

No talent is preselected anymore. A "Hidden Talent" message reminds you that the talent chosen by your opponent is secret.

End Screen

The cursor no longer disappears when a match ends while you are aiming (victory or opponent surrender).

Smoke

A card no longer remains tilted until the end of the match after an effect is played during shuffling.

Draw

At midnight (UTC), the daily draw now replaces the previous day's draw even if the page is already open, and purchases are no longer rejected.

Targeting

Right-click once again opens the card preview while targeting an opponent.

Settings

Resolution and fullscreen settings now reflect the actual window state and no longer cancel Alt+Enter. In windowed mode, only resolutions that fit on the screen are offered.

Purchases and Upgrades

Direct purchases in euros are no longer possible, and the descriptions of currency packs are now clearer.
