Update 1.3 Patch Notes
A Short Summer…
This summer is short in Etheria. Season 1.3: Into the Dreamhold will be a slightly shorter Season than the others before it.
What does this mean?
It means we’re going to give anyone who purchases a Season Pass for Into the Dreamhold an additional 505 Fae Nectar which will be delivered right to your inbox.
We hope this helps you prepare for Fallen Order’s harsh winter!
New Hero Class - Warlock
The Warlock class will become available upon daily reset on 6th September 2022
The Warlock is an eldritch mage, controlling summoned Imps to do their bidding.
Their spells focus on burning, destruction, withering, and are often boosted by those status effects AND by the number of Imp Gems present

Menus & Inventory Rework
Menus Rework
It was clear that the menus system needed to be tidied up significantly as it was no longer serving its original purpose after so many new features have been added since its original implementation.
Hero Menu
We have condensed and streamlined the Hero menu to provide as much relevant information as clearly as we can.
Show details
- The Kingdoms menu is now directly accessed from the Hero menu, while Party has moved to the Battle menu, and your Friends are now accessed from the Pause Menu
- Flash offers can now always be accessed from the top system bar by tapping or clicking on the Merchant.
- You will see a notification pip on the Merchant when new offers are available or when active offers only have 1 hour remaining
- The Swap Hero button has been moved to the top system bar so you can now swap your hero from anywhere!
- Quest Pass has been moved from the bottom to sit alongside the Holiday events on the main Hero menu
- The Battle Button in the bottom right corner that will take you straight back to your Favorite Battle mode (selected in the Battle Menu)
Battles Menu
- All battle modes are now accessible through a single Battles Menu
- Your selected favorite mode will appear at the front of the Battles menu list for ease of access!
Inventory Rework
The inventory system was in need of a rework.
It was complex, difficult to find what you needed to, didn’t feel good to use and needed a visual overhaul.
Show details
- The vault has been streamlined significantly and works in tandem with your equipped slots
- Items now highlight when you select the slot you would like to equip something to
- Comparing items is now a much more smooth and intuitive process
- You can filter items in a much broader and more visually helpful way and items can be filtered with a text field
- Your equipped minions can now also be changed within this inventory menu.
- Press the ? button to swap between a preview of your hero, and your hero’s stats.
Salvage Flow Update
- When we were looking at changing the Inventory, we could see it was far too easy to accidentally salvage an item you didn’t intend to and it was too difficult to mass salvage
- Selecting ‘Salvage’ on any item will now bring up a Mass Salvage option
- Favorited items can be selected for Salvage but you will get a warning message before being able to proceed with the final Salvage
Quality of Life
Updates to Disease functionality
Disease is more prominent in 1.3 than in any of our prior updates. As a result, it was the first time we had really encountered it extensively in-game… And it wasn’t much fun to not be able to cast any non-Ultimate spells for the duration of Disease. So, we decided to tune it slightly!
Diseased heroes lose 12 Ultimate Spell Power per turn, while diseased enemies lose 12 Spell Mana per turn
UI
- Pips no longer show on the header bar chat icon for global messages, but you'll still see the chat icon light up when you get a new message
