Fishing Card Ver0.06 Patch Notes
Release Date: August 6, 2024 Game Version: Ver0.05 → Ver0.06
📋 Update Summary & Design Philosophy
This update includes a large number of balance adjustments, focusing on optimizing the synergy mechanics of key races like Fish-man, Mutant, and Turtle, while also adding 1 new Demon Fish and 1 new Function Card. We have adjusted 34 Fish Cards, 7 Entries, and 7 Relics to improve the game's balance and strategic depth. (In short: the old numerical model couldn't keep up with the increasing rent requirements, so we've adjusted the growth rate of some Fish Cards to be exponential.)
Fish-man Race Rework: The adjustments to the Fishman King and Fishman Queen aim to establish a clearer synergistic mechanism, making the Fish-man build more layered.
Mutation System Optimization: By adjusting the effects of mutation-related Fish Cards, we've made the construction strategies for the mutation system more diverse.
Turtle Race Balancing: We've strengthened the internal synergies of the Turtle race while adjusting some overly strong individual effects.
Entry System Refinements: Adjustments to several Entries are intended to reduce extreme situations and create a smoother gameplay experience.
Relic Effect Standardization: We've unified the trigger timings of some Relics to improve the consistency of the game experience.
