Gameplay Balance Updates
In addition to the new content in the DLC, we made a variety of balance tweaks to existing content that apply to all players.
Artifacts
- Imp-cicle can now give Queen’s Impling. Additionally, the chances of getting Imp Scholar and Transcendimp were increased slightly.
- Cursed Vines artifact changed from rearranging enemies automatically to giving the player Vine Grasp spells with Purge to rearrange enemies as they see fit.
- Hammered Chestplates now grants +5 health (increased from +3).
Champions
- Hornbreaker Prince’s Reaper path and all three of Tethys Titansbane’s paths gained a little bit more health to reduce the occurrence of back-line champion death.
- Cultivating Sentient’s card draw bonus no longer grows bigger at levels II and II. We’re pleased so many players are enjoying the recent changes to Cultivating Sentient, but she’s grown just a little too reliable at winning. This small tweak back down in power should trim her hedges just a little and bring her in line with other Monster Train champions.
- Tethys’s Handheld Totem path now deals more damage at levels II and III. Tethys is a unique champion many players enjoy, but higher levels of her Handheld Totem path have struggled to keep up with other options. We’ve increased attack at levels II and III to make it more rewarding to stay on her Spell Weakness path instead of branching out.
- Lil Fade’s Eternal Flame path has had its attack bonuses reduced, but it no longer increases her ember cost each time she dies. This will allow the pint-sized Eternal Flame to be eternally playable regardless of your ember generation. Also added Quick.
Cards
- In the Hellhorned camp, Horned Warrior, Steelworker, Railbeater, Fledgling Imp, Horn Break, and Imp-in-a-Box all got a little bit stronger in various ways. On the other hand, Imp-Portant work was toned down slightly. (Horned Warrior attack 30 -> 15, health 4 -> 5, gained Multistrike 1. Steelworker now affects all friendly units. Railbeater now inflicts Melee Weakness instead of Push. Fledgling Imp Rage 3 -> 5. Horn Break hits twice. Imp-in-a-Box got the same changes as Imp-cicle. Imp-Portant Work ember gain 2 -> 1.)
- Over in Awoken territory, Thorned Hollow gained more attack, but they’ll need to pay a little more ember for Invigorating Solution, Unleash the Wildwood, and cards drawn from Awoken Railspike. (Thorned Hollow attack 5 -> 15. Invigorating Solution and Unleash the Wildwood ember 0 -> 1. Awoken Railspike ember reduction 2 -> 1.)
- The lands of the Stygian Guard look pretty calm, but we added a couple extra Magic Power to Molluscmage to ensure they remain the masters of the arcane. (Molluscmage Magic Power bonus 8 -> 10.)
- In Umbraland, Ember Cache and Making of a Morsel traded a point of ember, numerous Morsel units’ stats and/or bonuses increased, and the “Uncommon or Rare” morsel drop rates were adjusted slightly. (Ember Cache cost 0 -> 1. Making of a Morsel cost 2 -> 1. Magma Morsel attack stat 4 -> 6 and granted attack 4 -> 6. Antumbra health stat 4 -> 6 and granted health 4 -> 6. Morsel Excavator attack stat 2 -> 3 and granted attack 2 -> 3. Morsel Jeweler health stat 2 -> 3 and granted health 1 -> 3. Morsel Miner granted attack and health 5 -> 6. Rubble Morsel granted attack and health 0 -> 1.)
- Last but not least, the Melting Remnant saw some improvements to Lady of the House and Waxen Spike while the almighty Intent on Death was toned down. (Lady of the House attack stat 25 -> 35 and health stat 40 -> 45. Waxen Spike attack scaling 3 -> 4 and Burnout 1 -> 4. Intent on Death was cost 2 and now has Consume and is cost 1.)
Other
- The Covenant Rank 10 and 20 challenges have been changed. Covenant Rank 10 now gives Emberdrain to the first unit played to the top floor each turn, and Covenant Rank 20’s capacity reduction now always applies to the middle floor. This gives each floor a unique challenge: getting hit by enemies first, having less room for units, and impacting your ember generation.
- The “Shards of the Pyre” event now has a third reward options that gives you a Strengthstone unit upgrade.
- Various game elements rephrased slightly for clarity and/or consistency.
Patch 1.4.1 (4 January 2021)
BUG FIX
- fixed a scenario where game progress could be lost.
Controller and Keyboard Update (10 December 2020)
New Features
- Full gamepad/controller and keyboard support. Hate the mouse? Now you can play the whole game without it.
- Large UI scale option. If you play on TV or just want cards and the UI to be bigger in general, now you can scale it up via the "accessibility" area of the settings menu.
- New gameplay keyword: Cultivate. It's an Awoken clan keyword that increases the attack and health of the unit with the lowest health in the room.
Three Important Notes
- Keyboard: if you previously changed your key bindings you're going to want to review the bindings again and update them. We changed a lot about how keyboard works.
- Controller caveat: regardless of controller type used, all in-game button hint icons are currently Xbox controller icons.
- Controller caveat: right now we don't support rebinding controller buttons within the game.
