PATH NOTES 1.23

ADDITIONS

Elemental fragments

When an orb gives you a card whose 3 talents you already own, without its elemental skin, you get Spams and one fragment. The 4th fragment unlocks the elemental skin. The "Complete" button in the card preview lets you buy it sooner, for less the more fragments you have. If you get the skin another way, your fragments are refunded in Spams.

Starter Orb

At the end of the tutorial, new players receive a Starter Orb. When they open it, they pick one of the six elements and get four cards of that element, then Subject 042 helps them build their first deck with them.

Tournaments

Tournament mode opens in the Play tab: create a tournament with friends or sign up for the official Saturday tournament and its rewards. Bracket, matches you can watch as a spectator, and a final podium.

New in your Collection

Cards, skins and talents won from orbs are marked "New" until you look at them. A dot appears on the Collection tab.

Search

In the Collection and the skin shop, you can search for a card by the name of its abilities, passives or talents. Accents and capital letters no longer matter.

"Healing" filter

New effect filter in the Collection for cards that heal others or themselves.

6 decks

Every account now has 6 base deck slots instead of 5.

Decks on the Play screen

Reorder your decks by drag and drop. Drag a card of the displayed deck onto another to swap their starting positions on the board.

Premium Pass page

Redesigned in three panels: Missions (the premium rewards you've already earned and those still to come), Premium Draw and Premium badge.

Spectator mode

When you watch a match, the active player's Tox shop is shown full screen with their choices. A banner announces each turn.

Floating text

Each hit now shows its own number instead of a running total. When several resistances change, each element gets its own line, in its color.

Bonus damage shown

In a match, Lightning (Cloudy Rodent) and Word-Chew (Aleera, Nightmare-Eater) show the bonus damage from the caster's missing HP. Hover over "Bonus damage" for the rule.

Balancing

Crystal Draw

Prices are halved for every rarity.

Missions (Premium Pass)

Premium rewards go up: "Win a game" 50 XP → 100 Crystals, "Deal 1000 damage" 25 → 100 Crystals, "Win 100 ranked games" 500 → 1,000 Crystals, "Deal 100,000 damage" 1,250 → 2,500 XP.

Monthly damage mission

The goal goes from 60,000 to 100,000 damage, starting this month. A mission you've already completed stays completed.

Surrenders and missions

When your opponent surrenders or disconnects, their cards still in play count as killed for the "Kill 40 legendary cards" mission.

Matchmaking

After a match, you're less likely to face the same opponent right away. For one hour, the game first looks for someone else for 20 seconds.

An attack that destroys (Black Widow from Weaver of Words, Engulfment from Regent of the Abysses) now counts as a fatal hit: the card stays at 1 HP, unless it was already there.

Metamorph (Tox shop)
