Greetings Warriors!
With the advent of the new year, we at Studio Sirah would like to introduce some major updates to the game!
New Spell Cards, Easier Hero Levelling and Card Properties
We've introduced brand new Spell Cards for all Heroes!
The level reward system has been restructured to accommodate for these cards and we've reduced the experience required for each level, making it slightly easier for players to level up their Heroes.
We are introducing two new Card Properties:
Charm - Temporarily converts an enemy unit
Freeze - Frozen units take +2 damage
If you log in to the game, your existing Heroes might be at a higher level than before with some new cards for you to use in battle!
New Hero Mechanics
All Heroes now start the game with a base weapon.
Melee Heroes start with a Punch and Ranged Heroes with a Bow, which can be upgraded to do more damage by deploying their existing Weapon cards.
Our thought process behind this change was that despite the whole game revolving around the Heroes, players had a limited way of interacting with them which somewhere made it feel as if they were not part of the battle. So, this feature makes it so that your Heroes can attack right from the start and feel more active on the battlefield.
New Game Visuals
We did a complete overhaul on the Game Board visuals. This means brand new graphics, card frames, unit deployment, targeting and much more!
(No more dragging your card to long away distances just to have it deployed in a pre-defined location.)
Note: We have reset the Dharma rating for everyone to make room for the new and upcoming PvP League System.
