New patch (0.1.37) is out with a lot of balance changes! :)
Patch Goals:
- Move cards closer to desired power level to smooth out power levels
- more gradual power-level of cards, with less powerful tempo cards and shorter durations
- making cards broader and more playable more often
New:
- New keyword: Lingering: If I die, other characters keep the buff they have from my Aura or Boost for the fight.
- New keyword: **Target:Low**: I try to attack a character with less hp than my attack.
- New item: Weak Magnet. 4/0 Level 4: 3 gold. My Wearer has Target:Low.
- You can target shop characters with targetable spells.
- New setting for hover delay.
Balance:
