To the Crown Mages,
This update contains bug fixes and gameplay balance changes we’ve been working on while progressing towards finishing story content and new features such as vs AI/bots for Trials.
For the detailed changelog of changes implemented with Astatos v0.3.2, please read on below.
- From the team at Studio Klondike
Gameplay Changes
- Alkaios’ Hero Ability has been partially reworked. His new ability text reads as follows: Each side can wager their Energy. The side with the largest wager draws two Cards per Energy wagered. Distribute as desired. All Energy offered is discarded. If tied, no side wins. This ability resolves at the end of the Hero Stage.
- [Takeover Only] Drusus will now only draw 1 Card at the start of their Hero Ability.
- [Takeover Only] Spell C now reads as follows: Remove one Energy from any opposing Hero in the game, except if they already have zero Energy remaining. This change means that Spell C can no longer target players during Takeover Trials. We’ll be monitoring this change to see player feedback.
