This patch focuses on two QoL features: Tutorial and Speech Bubbles, as well as a little bit of new content and last boss changes.
- The tutorial is meant to help newer players to get into some unique mechanics the game has such as attack dodging.
- Speech Bubbles is just something that was really needed. It helps to understand why specific action can not be done, for example when trying to play 2 mana card with only one mana left - Hero will say that more mana is needed. We are really happy with what we did. Also, the same bubbles will be used for story interaction in future updates.
- We are also adding two new talents, a legendary card, and a trinket to spice up combinations a little bit.
- Act 3 boss changes. We wanted to make sure the last boss is not just "big numbers" but also requires some tactic to defeat it.
- And some balance changes! Check out the full changelog below.
