The Tip for each deck that could previously be seen in the deck list by hovering the difficulty indicator, can now also be seen in the Campaign menu by hovering the deck's name.
The button that allows you to skip ascension levels by using a small amount of Astral Dust is now slightly more highlighted, to make it easier to see. If you feel like a specific deck is too easy, it's recommended to skip ascensions to reduce the time it takes to get to Ascension 10.

Mini Inferno

Range: [150, 150, 150] >>> [150, 160, 170]
[Astral Siege] Siege Mode
Now, after opening the gates and earning 15 crystals, the enemy health, armor, magic resist, speed and resistance against stuns and slows begins to increase slowly. Before this patch, only the enemy quantity and level increased, and it had an upper limit. This change is meant to make surviving indefinitely after opening the gates a bit harder. Survival Mode also functions similarly: after a certain threshold, the enemy stats also begin to increase.
