Dear Protectors of the Light,
Here it is, our first Content Update of the Year! We’re launching full force into the year with the Siege Catapult, a brand new Player Unit. Now you will have an extra layer of defense to stop the Nightmares from taking over your Keep.
Alongside this, we're launching something we know our Community has been asking for for quite some time now, Priority Targeting, now you can assign your Units to attack the Closest, Strongest or Weakest Nightmares.
Don’t worry, we didn’t stop there, included in this Update is a new Mini-Map filtering feature. There are now options to toggle on or off any element of the Mini-Map and also enlarge it so you are able to expertly plan your expansion.
Since we have given you some amazing features to make the battle easier, of course we had to adjust a Hardship as well to keep you on your toes. The Dangerously Familiar Hardship now untethers the Elites from their Point of Interest so they are able to chase you indefinitely around the map, unless you kill them first!
For now, continue to fight off the Darkness and keep your eyes peeled for more information regarding our next Content Update!
As always please continue to report bugs to our Steam forums or in the bug reporting channel on our Discord, as we’re constantly monitoring those channels.
Check out the full patch notes below:
