3) Upcoming Expansion Notes
The next card expansion will introduce new indirect removal spells costing between 2 and 6 Dark Energy (DE) that provide choice-based effects.
Example: Send a target card from a Graveyard to Discard or give +1 Attack to a target creature.
The expansion will include a few Leggies (Legendary, Mythic, and Genesis), but its main focus will be on expanding the pool of non-leggie cards to diversify deckbuilding options.

4) Enemy Logic Improvements (Single Player)
We’ve updated the tactical decision algorithms used by Single Player opponents to improve target prioritization and strategic awareness while keeping the early learning experience accessible.
New Threat Priority System
Certain cards are now internally tagged as Important or Critical threats.
Enemies now evaluate strategic threat levels beyond raw stats, leading to more consistent target prioritization.
Improved Progress Awareness
Enemy logic now evaluates Wisdom as a strategic resource and reacts more effectively when Progress-based victories are approaching.
Smarter Target Selection
Better balance between attacking the hero and controlling the board.
Reduced tendency to ignore dangerous engines or late-game win conditions.
These updates aim to make later encounters feel more tactical without increasing early difficulty spikes.
5) Bug Fixes
Fixed an issue in Single Player Levels 75 and 105 where the Match Engine Scene failed to load due to a missing Scriptable Object during build generation.
The missing asset has been restored and both levels should now load correctly.
As always, thank you for testing, theorycrafting, and helping shape the evolution of Loopweavers. Your feedback directly influences future balance updates and Heuristics improvements.
