Hi, everyone! Look, I got the Mystery March update done just in time for the month to end. Imagine releasing it in April. How silly! This content update is themed around the Mystery aspect. It was added last and therefore wasn't as fleshed out as the others.
The Big Stuff
New Mystery Content
- 3 new animons: Najmagi, Escurida, Zabilula
- 4 new animancers: Kareem, Khulan, Bhavya, Kareem
- several new Mystery tricks
- new status condition "Cursed"
Twitch Integration
Twitch subscribers of the Sword & Quill channel can now redeem a sub-exclusive animon (Twitchmon) by connecting their account in the settings.
Streamers can enable the Twitch mode with lets viewers interact in several ways:
- suggest which path to take on the map
- spend channel points to give the streamer rewards
- predict enemy moves during combat to help or hinder
- spend Bits to adopt an animon persistently and giving the streamer the option to borrow it
Elusive Animons
You can now encounter very rare versions of some Animons. If you manage to capture them, you permanently unlock their elusive color variant as an option if you have them as a starter option.
