Three new Champions have arrived from the Far East to battle for their own chance at uncovering the Sigil of the Magi! With them come new cards and new game mechanics that establish novel synergies and fresh board strategies for players to uncover.
With this third faction, you’ll be able to dive deeper into the card rack system and movement mechanics, which will produce new experiences and encourage a different playstyle compared to the factions that came before.
New Champions:
The Sword Master does devastating damage with her blade and gains a bonus to her movement that make her attacks all the more deadly.
The Monk has powerful abilities to change the position of anyone nearby—friend or foe—as well as devastating melee attacks.
The Priestess gains protection from utilization of the card rack, and her ranged attacks can make all the difference on the battlefield.
New Mechanics:
Mark: Marks are powerful, stackable additional damage indicators that can be inflicted on enemies for the current turn. Once an enemy has been Marked, each time they are attacked that turn, they will take additional damage equal to the number of marks they have.
Spikes: Spikes work best for those players who like to use their health as a resource rather than protecting it indiscriminately. Spikes build off the Royal Vanguard’s Thorns mechanic. Thorns damage enemies that hit you equal to the amount of Thorns on your Champion, and once applied, Spikes act similarly but with a twist: Spikes give your Champion Thorns equal in number to their Spikes each time your Champion takes damage in that turn. Played just right, that can really start to add up!
What’s Next:
The card art isn’t available yet, so don’t think it’s a bug! We’re working on putting in and updating that now, but we wanted to go ahead and get the build out for you to try ASAP.
The Far East will not be available for mix-and-match faction build immediately, but this feature will be implemented soon!
In fact, everything for this new team is subject to change, so please provide feedback to us if you have any! Join Sigil's Discord to talk all the best builds and most formidable foes, and to give us your thoughts on the game so far! You can also follow the game on Twitter to keep up with the latest news.
