Barrier
The small things are often overlooked, but sometimes they are the most important. Barrier mechanic is much simpler than many of you expected! It was designed to resolve the hidden issue with the basic Armor🛡️, but what's the problem?
Armor can stop both Direct Damage💀 and Life Loss💔 from invade strategies. We artificially limited this effect to a handful of cards because it can resolve both of the threats leading to unfun "turtling" gameplay. With this new experimental effect we can stop invaders without relying on destroy cards, opening completely new deck archetypes.

Phoebe Release
We hope you enjoyed your time with the TRX release last month, because we already have the next Survivor for you! For 4320 🟨 credits you can unlock a very versatile character Phoebe, who bridges the waste gaps between certain combos🔥🔥🔥
Phoebe's high intellect couldn't protect her from hazy years of crystal abuse. Rotten arms would be amputated without the merciful intervention of Mayor Lindr. After losing empathy to the rest of society, this victim of Stockholm syndrome has pledged her life to a new
Forcefield is the first card with mentioned earlier Barrier. It can stop a lot of mid-range invade cards like Flat Earther, while also providing their dual waste that normally would be "wasted" when destroyed!
Phoebe's general strategy is to cumulatate massive amounts of energy or deal huge damage in one turn (Traits: Attack-Foresight). We recommend waiting a few turns before purchasing her card, because it's not as effective in early phases as in late game.
Watchdog is another experiment combining text triggers with symbols. In this case the doggie needs to be played as the very first card in a round - the energy must be obtained from the previous turn using Deploy or other store effects.
This Survivor shares her card Frame with 2 others. Together they create a "faction" called NWG - New World Government, where Mayor Lindr makes the laws and distributes mind-controlling drugs to the public. Phoebe commands police forces and Mrs B terrorizes the private sector. A truly disgusting and corrupt combination! 🤮 🤮 🤮
Momentum Changes
This interaction was not planned at all when we designed the Double and Momentum mechanic, but if its fun then why not embrace it? Thanks to folks who suggested this change! This type of "secret" knowledge can create super cool situations and we are happy to explore this concept in future ❤️
Quick Start Bundle
We are currently working on a big purchasable item that will grant new players access to 20 Survivors and all Wildcards (Level 1). We believe that it's important to help people get to the game faster without having to grind all the items. Inside this pack there will be a hilarious Casual Mrs B Skin available only there (except next Brawl)! 😆
Art update of Mrs.B character design. She has now black hair strand, belt full of ammo clips and golden knuckle-duster.
Hurricane Brawl
We encourage everyone to try all these changes and new Survivors during the Hurricane Brawl event that will take place next weeked (22-23 February 2025) starting at 10 CET. There will be an active modifier that you might recognize from long time ago ❤️
Thank you so much for reading and hope to see you in game,
Team SUR5
