Minion Masters!
The long-awaited Glorious Battle Pass is here!
This feature has been in the works for quite some time, and we’re excited to present it to you.
There’s still plenty of stuff to improve on it, but we wanted to get feedback and try it out as early as possible.
With it, we release 8 new cards you can find in the Season Tokens.
As a quick note: we have to cancel our planned Dwarf stream today. We’ll see you all next Tuesday, June 19th at 20:00 UTC!
But now, let's jump right in:
Battle Pass
Level up your Battle Pass! - Unlock Awesome loot!
As you play Minion Masters you’ll level up your Battle Pass, unlocking extra loot worth more than 20,000 Rubies!
How does it work?
There are two types of Pass: Free Pass & Battle Pass.
Everyone can level up the Free Pass and get the rewards from it. If you want the insane value from the Battle Pass, you can spend 1500 Rubies or $9.99 to get instant rewards and unlock its full potential.
There are 70 tiers of rewards that you can reach by playing with the Battle Pass. The way you unlock new tiers is by playing the game and winning! If you own the Battle Pass you also get the Free Pass rewards.
The Battle Pass season is around 2 months and should you reach the end, you can actually go beyond tier 70 and keep receiving Season Token rewards until the end of the season.
There are also ways to speed up the Battle Pass leveling if you want it all faster. You can buy tiers for 250 Rubies each or increase your deck Glory by promoting Cards.
What can be found in the Battle Pass?
- Season Tokens (contain only the latest cards!)
- NEW Skins
- NEW Emotes
- Profile XP
- Rubies
- Gold
- and more!
What if I buy the Battle Pass after I already unlocked multiple free tiers?
As soon as you buy the Battle Pass you will receive all the rewards up to the tiers you’ve already unlocked by playing with the Free Pass, retroactively.
Do I keep my rewards?
Yes! You keep cosmetics, currency, cards and glory you unlock during the season.
Exclusive rewards you missed may appear in limited shop offers at a later date.
Card Glory
We are changing the way having duplicate cards work. From now on, you only have one card and that card can get increased Glory. You increase your Glory by promoting your cards or getting a duplicate card. The amount of glory gained depends on rarity and stays on the card forever.
E.g: You have a Swarmers card with 6 glory, then you receive one more Swarmers and now that card has 8 glory. Because common cards give 2 glory for each new card you get.
- Cards have a base Glory depending on rarity. Getting a duplicate card will Promote that cards Glory
- Glory does not increase the power of the cards
- Promoted cards gain new Card Frames and special play VFX
- The more total Glory your deck has, the more Battle Pass XP you earn for winning matches
- Promote specific cards by spending shards
- Power Tokens now give rarity dependent shard bonus every time you spin
- No more salvaging cards. Your collection will only expand
- A Battle Chest is available every day. Fill it with Glory and unlock it by winning 3 matches. You can stack up to 3 Battle Chests, similar to Daily Quests.
- The match summary screen has been updated to accommodate all these glorious changes
- Deckbuilding has been updated to show your Glory, mouseover your total glory for a breakdown
- Wild Cards will work similar as before. Getting two Swarmers will increase the Glory and enable one Wild Card for that card. Getting three will enable both Wild Cards.
- The Regular rarity cards have become normal rarities with this update.
Season of the Demon
- This content season will last for 2 months
- 8 new cards have been released! These are:
- Ravenous Swarmers - 2 mana Common Minion
- Brutish Betrayer - 3 mana Rare Minion
- Netherstep - 3 mana Legendary Spell
- Gor’Rakk Sacrifice - 4 mana Rare Spell
- Dragon Ball - 5 mana Common Spell
- Shars'Rakk Twins - 7 mana Supreme Minion
- Commander Azali - 8 mana Legendary Minion
- Gor’Rakk Brutes - 8 mana Supreme Minion
- The new cards are available in Season Tokens found in the Battle Pass (see above)
- They can also be Recruited for 3x the normal shard value of other cards
- After 2 months, the cards will be part of the normal set and appear in normal Power Tokens
Gameplay
- Damage projection now has an added element of timing. Minions will take into account whether their own hit could arrive before another source of damage, and try to finish off the opponent faster even if it means wasting a little damage.
- Card cost effects now trigger on the current card cost rather than original cost. Examples of changes: Using Future Present with King Puff, if you got a Succubus before (3-cost), it would trigger with his Perk 2 buffs. Now, it will not. Conversely, getting a Blue Golem from Future Present will now trigger (5-cost), as opposed to before.
