Patch 0.17.4 is mostly about improving the viability of the Harmony faction (Purple). To that end, we’ve made buffs to 35+ cards in that faction, as well as debuffed one card in Norden (Blue) and one card in Parsa (Orange). See Cards/Tuning for details. Any Freki Sidecars or Shadhavar Beasts made in the last 21 days may be unmade at full value.
Other than balance changes, we’ve done some work to increase the size of UI elements for mobile devices, added the ability to change out your game board, added the ability to export decks from the in-client deck tracker, as well as a number of other minor features and bug fixes.
Note that we plan on patching again in two weeks for minor bug fixes and to support Valentine’s Day.
