Features:
  • Added year 2 of the Grand Revel event. This event introduces Paultin Seppa, the final Champion of the Waffle Crew and a powerful buffer and gold finder.

Clarification (no actual change):
  • Added a note to Arkhan's "Bulk Up" and "Usurped Power" abilities that clarifies that they start with a 50% effect. A +100% bonus to it would improve it to 100%, a +200% bonus would be 150%, etc. There's no change in power here, just a clarification to help players better understand the numbers.

Bug Fixes

Version 0.2.52.1 (2018-11-30): Bug Fixes
Balance Changes:
  • Calliope's "College of Valor" specialization now only increases Bardic Inspiration by 100%, down from 200%. The next upgrade for Bardic Inspiration has been increased from 100% to 200%. The next effect is a small buff to Bardic Inspiration when you chose the College of Lore specialization
  • Upgrades to Gromma's "Grandmotherly Love" have been reduced in power when she's in her "Circle of the Mountain" specialization
  • The base number of monsters that can attack before a Champion becomes overwhelmed has been decreased from 15 to 5. Tanks and select other Champions have had their values increased or maintained. (Nayeli: 20, Evelyn: 20, Tyril: 25 [Wild Shape only], Gromma: 20, Arkhan: 30, Barrowin: 20 [with Divine Aid]). We are still working on making this information visible on the UI.
Fixes:
  • Fixed an issue where the game was crashing unexpectedly on Mac computers (v178)
  • Fixed an issue with weekend promo chests showing up for $10000 in the store
  • Tyril's "Forces of Good" ability now correctly requires his "Wild Shape" spec
  • Arkhan's Usurped Power now works correctly with Song of Protection
  • Arkhan's Usurped Song of Protection description now shows the current shield amount as a shield value, instead of a percentage
  • Fixed a slowdown and potential freeze with having multiple "Increase all Champions health by 25% of Max Health" tank buffs
  • Fixed an error where the bonus value on Spiked Shell was being buffed incorrectly by upgrades
  • Arkhan's Usurped Power now applies it's % rate to Story of Doom's total amount, instead of the base stack amount
  • Arkhan's added attacks when being attacked by more enemies now properly respect boss-enrage stacks (which should count as additional enemies)
  • Offline gold should better handle situations where a player is idling on levels that they can only beat through ultimates and clicking (since offline progress only takes into account un-active play, it will try and idle you a few levels back from your wall until it finds the level where you would receive the most gold)
  • Fixed an issue where year 1 Simril achievements were hidden
  • Farideh's ultimate projectiles are now based on party DPS instead of her DPS


Tanking, Healing, and Offline GOld Update!

Version 0.2.52 (2018-11-28): Tanking, Healing, and Offline Gold Update!
Features:
  • This update includes major changes to champion health, healing amounts, and monster damage. See the balance changes section for more details.
  • Added new upgrades for all champions up to approximately e49 gold spent.
  • The front-end now checks for invalid/no longer valid upgrades when loading champion data from the server. It will also purchase all unbought upgrades up to your champions' current level on load. This is to ensure that all new/changed upgrades are immediately available and to fix an edge case where you could miss out on upgrades by switching to the gamepad UI without having purchased earlier ones.
  • Shield amounts are now shown on the character sheet.
  • Shift clicking the area selector's left arrow goes to the first 5 areas. Shift clicking the area selector's right arrow goes to the highest unlocked area
  • Gamepad UI has been massively improved (Still in BETA)
  • Added equipment shininess border to the champion info menu
  • Added buttons to inventory sliders to allows single increments and decrements
  • Added mouse wheel support for sliders
  • Hotkey F to show familiar slots. Clicking a slot with F held will assign an available familiar to that slot. Clicking the familiar button with F held will unassign all familiars. (steam only)
Balance Changes:
  • Monsters in all campaigns now only increase their damage when the adventure story resets (eg. in areas 51, 101, 151, etc.); Monster damage is increased by 75% at each of these breakpoints.
  • Champions' base health values have been completely rebalanced. Champions have been divided into four general categories: squishy, tanky non-tank, general tank, and durable tank. The Champion's category, plus the champions' con score, armor class, and bench slot, now determine each Champions' base health.
  • Champions' health no longer increases as you level them up, only from upgrades, formation abilities, or other buffs.
  • We've created a new outgoing Global DPS/Formation Ability curve that maps total gold spent on a hero to their relative Global/FA buff amounts. We've applied this curve to the Champions that have been rebalanced in this update, and will apply it to all other Champions in a future balance pass. In general this will result in a decent increase to the buffing ability of Champions in later seats and a small nerf to the buffing ability of Champions in earlier seats.
  • Champions will now get an "overwhelmed" debuff when more than 15 enemies are attacking them (using the same definition of "attacking them" as other effects). The debuff causes them to take 10% more damage from monsters for each enemy attacking them above 15 (10% at 16 attackers, 100% at 25 attackers, 200% at 35 attackers, 250% at 40 attackers, 850% at 100 attackers, etc.). Some champions have abilities that increase the starting point or decrease the debuff. This debuff shows up as a FA icon on champions who are being overwhelmed.
  • We've updated the formula that calculates your party DPS to be much more accurate, taking into effect things like Minsc's favored enemy, Barrowin's hammers, and Regis' damage type bonuses. This has resulted in ultimate abilities getting a healthy damage boost.
  • Additional, as a result of the party DPS formula changes, offline gold, gold found in silver chests, gold from distractions, and gold from bounty contracts should now be more in line with gold earned while actively playing.
  • Monsters and bosses now enrage slower and ramp up their damage bonus slower; some effects that increase based on # of monsters attacking also ramp up along with enrage bonuses.
  • We've done a pass through several adventures looking for monsters that are broken/OP/UP under the new champion health values. We may have missed some, so let us know if something seems unfair or underpowered!
  • The Chained Up Ogre now attacks from slightly further away and does 40% more damage than other bosses.
  • Monsters that attack with Fireball do 20% more damage than other monsters.
  • Monsters that attack from range now do damage that is more comparable with melee monsters.
  • Reduced the damage of the Lich and Father Kendra bosses.
  • The Stone Juggernaut now attacks from further away and does less damage.
Champion Changes:
Celeste:
  • Mass Cure Wounds base healing amount reduced from 10 to 3 (6 with the Life Domain specialization; improved by gear -- see below).
  • Reduced the base values of Celeste's healing loot from 25/87.5/150/275% to 10/30/50/100%.
  • Reworked all of Celeste's upgrades that improved Mass Cure Wounds. Removed about 20 and re-positioned the remaining 6 among her levels up to 950.
  • All upgrades to Crusader's Mantle no longer require the War Domain specialization, meaning that between the two specs Crusader's Mantle's total value is much closer (just x2 from Life Domain to War Domain).
  • Removed some of the global DPS upgrades that were associated with Life Domain and overlapped with War Domain spec upgrades.
  • Celeste's healing achievement now requires only 20e6 health healed, down from 1e9, but it now only tracks effective healing and not wasted healing. The achievement has been reset for all players, but those of you who completed the old achievement will find it in the Legacy Achievements category.
  • TLDR: Not much change to Celeste. We reworked her healing numbers to match the new tanking/healing curves and reduced the difference in healing/buffing between her two specializations so they can both be used depending on whether you need just a bit more damage or just a bit more healing (this brings her general design closer to more recent heroes, whose specializations have a smaller impact on their overall power).
Nayeli:
  • Oath of Devotion now increases Nayeli's health by 70, down from 300,000; it also moves her from a low end General Tank to a Durable Tank, providing at least 50% more health on average with her subsequent health increases.
  • Replaced all health increasing upgrades and moved them around. There are now less health upgrades and they increase Nayeli's health by less. Nayeli also now receives health upgrades regardless of her spec, however she receives smaller upgrades with Oath of Vengeance compared to Oath of Devotion.
  • All of the upgrades to Aura of Courage no longer require the Oath of Vengeance specialization, meaning that between the two specs Aura of Courage's total value is much closer (just x2 from Oath of Devotion to Oath of Vengeance).
  • We have removed Nayeli's taunt upgrade. We like the general idea of the taunt and may add it back in a future balance update.
  • Reduced the base values of Nayeli's health increasing gear from 25/87.5/150/275% to 10/30/50/100%.
  • Nayeli's attack cooldown has been reduced to 6.7 seconds from 8 seconds.
  • Nayeli's STR and CON stats have both been improved to 16 (from 15 and 13 respectively).
  • Reduced the effect of Nayeli's level 55 global DPS upgrade from 200% to 100%, but added a completely new 100% global DPS upgrade at level 550 to compensate. Overall this bring's Nayeli's buffing ability in line with other support champions.
  • Aura of Protection now also stacks when enemies or bosses begin to enrage. It counts each enrage increase as one additional attacking enemy.
  • Added an upgrade at level 280 with Oath of Devotion spec that increases the max health of all other Champions in the formation by a 25% of Nayeli's max health. This includes other tanks (4 tanks in formation ~= tank-health level squishies and double-health tanks)
  • Nayeli's tanking achievement now only requires 40e6 damage taken, down from 1e12. The achievement has been reset for all players, but those of you who completed the old achievement will find it in the Legacy Achievements category.
  • TLDR: We're pretty happy with how Nayeli works as a tank. We simply reworked her health to match the new tanking/healing curve and reduced the difference in buffing/tanking between her two specializations so they can both be used depending on whether you need Nayeli to buff a bit more or take a few more hits before dying (this brings her general design closer to more recent heroes, whose specializations have a smaller impact on their overall power). We also added a new tank-specific formation ability to Nayeli to help her protect the group against AOE damage in later areas.
Calliope:
  • Song of Protection base value is now 100, down from 250.
  • Replaced all upgrades to Song of Protection and moved them around. There are now far less upgrades and they all increase Song of Protection by much less. Removed approximately 18 upgrades and the remaining 6 have been distributed among Calliope's levels up to 1030.
  • All upgrades that previous only unlocked if you chose the College of Valor specialization now unlock under College of Lore as well. Two upgrades that you previously only got under College of Lore have been removed.
  • Calliope's "bracers" loot items (increase Song of Protection amount) have had their base values reduced from 25/87.5/150/275% to 10/30/50/100%.
  • Fixed a bug where Song of the Protection's base value was being doubled when applied via her ultimate.
  • Calliope's "bag" loot items now increases her ultimate damage, instead of further increasing the Song of Protection amount.
  • Calliope's shield now has a 15 second cooldown before it can be applied to the same Champion again. She tries to cast it every 1 second.
  • Calliope's College of Lore specialization now decreases the cooldown of Calliope's shield by 5 seconds (to 10 seconds total).
  • Calliope's shielding achievement now only requires 60e6 damage shielded, down from 1e27. The achievement has been reset for all players, but those of you who completed the old achievement (hah! not likely!) will find it in the Legacy Achievements category
  • TLDR: Calliope's shields are quite powerful at delaying the death of tanks, especially under the new tanking/healing curves. As such, when a Champion is shielded by Calliope there is now a 15 second cooldown before they can be affected by her shield again. Calliope's ultimate overrides this limitation, and the shields still last until they are broken. College of Lore, instead of increasing the amount of her shields, now decreases the new cooldown by 5 seconds to 10 seconds total, meaning you can shield more often. The difference in subsequent upgrades between College of Valor and College of Lore has been removed, so that the two specializations are simply a choice between more frequent shields or slightly higher Bardic Inspiration buffs (this brings her general design closer to more recent heroes, whose specializations have a smaller impact on their overall power). Calliope emerges as a decent death delayer, and one of the few healer-types who can protect the majority of the formation from incidental damage.
Tyril:
  • Wild Shape now increases Tyril's health by 265 (down from millions).
  • Wild Resistance now only decreases damage taken by 10 (down from millions). It cannot reduce damage below 25% of the initial damage (up from 5%).
  • Upgrades that affected Tyril's max health (Wild Shape only), Druidic Healing (Moonbeam only), and Wild Resilience (Wild Shape only) amounts have been rebalanced to the new tanking/healing curve. Approximately 24 upgrades were removed, and the other 13 were redistributed and rebalanced.
  • Tyril's base attack cooldown in human form has been lowered to 4.7 seconds. It remains at 6.2 seconds in bear form.
  • Increased Tyril's first global dps upgrade to give him an early game boost, added another 100% global dps upgrade at level 1000, and added and boosted several other upgrades for Moonbeam; Tyril's buffing ability now matches that of other buffers based on his total invested gold.
  • Tyril's Wild Shape increases his "overwhelmed" starting point to 25.
  • Moonbeam is now reduced by 0% for having 1 adjacent champion, 10% for 2 adjacents, 40% for 3 adjacents, 70% for 4 adjacents, and 90% for 5 or more adjacents.
  • Tyril's ultimate attack with his Wild Shape spec (Shielding Bite) now does AOE damage in a small radius. After his attack, he creates a shield that is his max health times the number of enemies hit. Enemies that were killed by the attack count for triple. So for example, if his bite hits 10 enemies but only kills 2, he gains a shield that is his max health x14 (8x1 + 2x3). Note this shield still degrades by 1% of its original value per second, meaning that it expires after 100 seconds at the latest. The shield continues to degrade even if Tyril is benched, but doesn't degrade while changing areas/watching cinematics. If you use his ultimate again before the previous ultimate shield expires, the new shield overrides the previous shield completely, unless it would generate a smaller shield than what Tyril has remaining from the old one.
  • Tyril's "Shielding Fury" achievement has been restructured. Now requires Tyril to create a shield greater than 50x his max health. The achievement has been reset for all players, but those of you who completed the old achievement will find it in the Legacy Achievements category.
  • Tyril's equipment has been adjusted. Slot 1 has been changed from Self DPS loot into max health increasing loot (10/30/50/100). Slot 2 has been changed from Self DPS loot to Global DPS loot. Slot 4 has been changed from Buff Moonbeam/Wild Shape to Buff Moonbeam/Wild Inspiration (both formation buffs). Slots 3, 5, and 6 are unchanged in this balance pass.
  • Added a new buff that unlocks if you choose the Wild Shape specialization. "Wild Inspiration" increases the damage of all Champions within 2 slots of Tyril by X%. It is much less of a buff than a well-placed Moonbeam, but still enough to make Tyril a decent buffer while tanking, assuming you can lay out your formation correctly. Various upgrades have been added to Tyril's upgrade tree to buff this ability.
  • Added a new formation ability called "Forces of Good" that increases the damage of all "Good" champions in the formation for each enemy attacking Tyril (and/or each boss/monster enrage stack active). This FA is only available when you choose Tyril's Wild Shape spec.
  • Added an upgrade to Tyril's Wild Shape spec that increases the max health of all other Champions in the formation by a 25% of Tyril's max health. This includes other tanks (4 tanks in formation ~= tank-health level squishies and double-health tanks).
  • TLDR: Tyril's original Wild Shape design had him creating big damage shields for himself with his ultimate, allowing him to survive much longer than he otherwise would have. This design has been refined in the rework. His ultimate attack now does AOE damage, and the shield it generates is a percentage of his max health times the number of enemies he hit, with bonuses for enemies killed. Time his ultimate correctly and he can create a shield that will allow him to tank for an extended period of time. We've of course adjusted his health increases to match the new tanking/healing curve, though he'll only gain tank-level health in Wild Shape spec. Tyril is essentially two completely different champions, depending on the spec you pick, so we've thrown some love at his Moonbeam spec as well and changed the way Moonbeam scales based on adjacent Champions. Moonbeam also has more, larger upgrades, making Tyril more competitive with Barrowin in more situations. His Moonbeam spec heal has also been rebalanced to match the new tanking/healing curves. Finally, Tyril's new "Forces of Good" ability ramps up the damage of your "Good" champions when he's under attack or the enemies are enraging.
Arkhan:
  • Arkhan's level cost curve has been reduced from 68% per level to 28% per level. This gives us more levels to work with for the same gold cost.
  • Removed the First in Line and Loyalty formation abilities/upgrades, along with the Chango Unchained/Restrained specializations. Also removed Arkhan's gold increasing upgrades (but don't worry, his new equipment more than makes up for it).
  • Reworked Arkhan's health increasing upgrades to match the new tanking/healing curves. Also added some additional upgrades that increase Arkhan's health at higher levels. These increases are all independent of your specialization choice, so Arkhan is always super tanky.
  • Arkhan's "overwhelmed" starting point is 25, instead of 15.
  • Added an upgrade to Arkhan's tank spec that increases the max health of all other Champions in the formation by a 25% of Arkhan's max health. This includes other tanks (4 tanks in formation ~= tank-health level squishies and double-health tanks).
  • Added a new upgrade called "Rage of the Dragonborn". When Arkhan attacks, his attack is based on how many enemies are currently attacking him. With 0-5 enemies attacking, he does his normal single target swing. With 6-15 enemies attacking, he does a small cleave with each attack, and his attack damage modifier is increased (5x modifier). With 16+ enemies attacking, he does a massively damaging flame breath attack (20x modifier).
  • Rage of the Dragonborn also stacks when enemies or bosses begin to enrage. It counts each enrage increase as one additional attacking enemy.
  • Arkhan's specializations have been completely reworked. You now choose between the following specs: "Bulk Up: All formation buffs Arkhan receives are increased by X% if he's in the front column of the formation" or "Usurped Power: When in the front column of the formation Arkhan now receives any positional formation buffs that are received by those adjacent to him at X% efficiency, even if he doesn't meet the positional requirements. (Doesn't apply the same FA twice if he already gets it)."
  • Arkhan's Flame Breath ultimate attack has been removed; he now unlocks Chango Unchained regardless of specialization.
  • Arkhan's personal achievement now requires that he attack with Flame Breath 10,000 times. Since his ultimate has changed, this means he must attack with Rage of the Dragonborn while tanking 16+ enemies X times in order to earn the achievement. The achievement has been reset for all players, but those of you who completed the old achievement will find it in the Legacy Achievements category.
  • Added a new formation ability called "Rising Anger" that increases the damage of all "Evil" champions in the formation for each enemy attacking Arkhan (and/or each boss/monster enrage stack active). This FA is available in all specs.
  • We've made some changes to Arkhan's loot to match his new build. His Global DPS item in slot two is now Self DPS. His third slot item now increases global gold find instead of the defunct First in Line FA, and his fourth item increases the effectiveness of his specializations.
  • TLDR: We wanted to use this opportunity to completely redesign Arkhan, morphing him into the bad-ass group-leading force of nature that he is in his tabletop appearances, and always was intended to be in our game. To that end, we've redesigned him with the idea of a "Tank DPS" in mind. We've removed nearly all of his existing abilities ("First in Line", "Loyalty", "Chango Unchained", "Chango Restrained") and replaced them with new ones. With "Rage of the Dragonborn," Arkhan's damage ramps up drastically when more enemies are attacking him by changing his attack to hit more and more enemies -- for example, Flame Breath becomes his basic attack when 16 or more enemies are targeting him! Through his brand new specializations, Arkhan's damage is increased in ways that no other Champions' are. "Bulk Up" increases the effect of formation abilities that target him, and "Usurped Power" causes positional formation abilities that target champions adjacent to Arkhan to *also* target him, regardless of their normal restrictions. A new formation ability called "Rising Anger" increases the damage of evil champions when Arkhan is under attack (go go Krond!). Finally, we've adjusted Arkhan's gear to better suit his new build, including giving him the game's very first Gold Find loot item. We hope that with these changes, Arkhan could conceivably be used to build some very interesting formations.
Gromma:
  • Added numerous upgrades to Grandmotherly Love and Global DPS, bringing Gromma's buffing ability up out of the doghouse and into a respectable range.
  • Removed a number of the odd discrepancies in Gromma's upgrade tree that were based on her specialization. Aside from buffs to her specialization-specific abilities, her upgrades should be more uniform across her three specs.
  • Added health increasing upgrades to Gromma to match the new healing/tanking curve. These upgrades exist independent of her tanking specialization.
  • Gromma's outgoing global and formation buffs have been matched to a new target curve. Other champions will be adjusted to this new curve during a future balance pass.
  • Gromma's base attack cooldown increased to 6.9 seconds from 4.6 seconds. If you specialize Circle of the Swap her Melf's Acid Arrow attack has the original 4.6 second cooldown with a +50% dps modifier so that the attack damage remains the same.
  • Added an upgrade to Gromma's tank spec that increases the max health of all other Champions in the formation by a 25% of Gromma's max health. This includes other tanks (4 tanks in formation ~= tank-health level squishies and double-health tanks).
  • Gromma's Hardened Shell upgrade now decreases the effect of the "overwhelmed" debuff system by 25%.
  • The Spiked Shell upgrade (Circle of the Mountain spec 2nd ability) has been reworked. Now instead of taking a percentage of Gromma's damage, enemies that attack Gromma are debuffed by a "Pierced Armor" effect. This effect can stack up to 25 times, and by default causes enemies to take 100% more damage per stack (stacking additively). This makes enemies squishier and squishier the more then attack Gromma, making them easier for your other Champions to defeat.
  • Freezing breath (Circle of the Arctic spec 2nd ability) has been substantially buffed. The base effect now increases damage monsters affected by Sleet Storm take by 400%, up from 25%. Further upgrades to this ability ramp up the bonus damage even more.
  • Acid Splash (Circle of the Swamp spec 2nd ability) has been buffed from 25% to 100%. Buffs to it have been removed.
  • Gromma's Circle of the Swamp specialization will receive additional dps buffs compared to her other spec, making it a viable DPS spec in the right circumstances. If you choose this specialization, Gromma will also learn a new FA called "Love Thyself" that increases her damage by 75% of her maximum Grandmotherly Love buff.
  • Added a new formation ability called "Shades of Gray" that increases the damage of all "Neutral" champions (lawful, true, and chaotic; doesn't include neutral good or neutral evil) in the formation for each enemy attacking Gromma (and/or each boss/monster enrage stack active). This FA is only available when you choose Gromma's Circle of the Mountain spec.
  • TLDR: We like the *idea* of Gromma, she just needed some tweaking to get her numbers right. With her tough tortle shell, she's tanky no matter which spec you pick, so she can fulfill the role of front-line support if the adventure or variant calls for it. We've pumped up her Grandmotherly Love ability to the extreme, so if your DPS is on the young-end of the spectrum, she's definitely worth considering for a buffing slot in your formation. We've also looked at each of her specializations and made some tweaks to each, focusing on her Tanking, Support, and DPS ability for Circle of the Mountain, Arctic, and Swamp respectively. Her tanking kit has been redesigned, with a completely new "Spiked Shell" mechanic, as well as other new formation abilities for buffing the party's health and the damage of neutral champions while Gromma is under attack. We also threw a new formation ability into her Circle of the Swamp spec so that she can benefit from a portion of her Grandmotherly Love ability.
Barrowin:
  • Barrowin's base attack speed has been lowered to 4.1 from 4.4 seconds.
  • Reduced the base effect of Healing Word to better match the new health/healing curves.
  • Upgrades to Healing Word have been rebalanced. Removed approximately 8 upgrades and distributed the remaining 5 among Barrowin's level curve.
  • Added to and adjusted Barrowin's set of Global DPS upgrades.
  • Barrowin's slot 1 loot items now buff Global DPS instead of Self DPS.
  • Barrowin's slot 4 loot items (increase Healing Word amount) have had their base values reduced from 25/87.5/150/275% to 10/30/50/100%.
  • Added a new FA ("Divine Aid") at level 210 that increases Barrowin's max health by 50% of the max health of the Champion in her column with the highest max health. This can count Barrowin herself, so if there are no other Champions in the column, or all Champions in her column have a lower max health than her, she increases her max health by 50% of her own max health. This effect also increases her "overwhelmed" point to 25.
  • Added a new FA ("Even Temper") at level 325 that increases Barrowin's attack speed by 1 sec whenever she has been attacked in the last 8.2 seconds.
  • Blessed Hammer's stacking is no longer purely multiplicative. Instead, each hammer provides a flat multiplier to the base buff amount: 1x for 1 hammer, 3x for 2 hammers, 7x for 3 hammers, and 15x for 4 hammers. Additionally several upgrades have been spread out across Barrowin's levels more evenly. All in all, the ability should be as good as comparable support champions with equal gear at 2 hammers, slightly worse at 1 hammer, and still best in class at 3+ hammers.
  • Barrowin's ultimate has been reconfigured. She throws her hammer at a random enemy, stunning it for 5 seconds. This also instantly sets all adjacent champions to *6* hammer stacks (the 5th stack adds another 16x and the 6th another 32x, for a total buff 63x the "base" Blessed Hammer amount; these stacks override any existing stacks) and a 10x normal health shield to all champions in her column.
  • Barrowin's shielding achievement has been changed to a healing achievement. Requiring 120e6 damage healed, down from 1e22 damage shielded. This must be effective healing, not just any healing ticks. The achievement has been reset for all players, but those of you who completed the old achievement will find it in the Legacy Achievements category.
  • TLDR: Barrowin's reign of terror over other buffing champions is finally over. It was good while it lasted, but if you live by the hammer, you die by the hammer, and the nerf hammer has brought Barrowin's buffing ability back in line with other Champions. Blessed Hammer has had the way hammers stack adjusted. Instead of stacking multiplicatively with each other, each additional hammer provides a flat multiplier to the blessing: 1x for 1 hammer, 3x for 2 hammers, 7x for 3 hammers, and 15x for 4 hammers. This still provides for a 230,000%+ buff with 4 hammers at max level and with decent gear, but it's a far cry from the game breaking 1e15% buffs that the ability was providing before. To make up for the nerf, Barrowin's attack speed has been slightly lowered, increasing your chance to get an extra hammer stack once in a while, but in general her ability to buff has been brought more in line with other Champions in her seat. With her increased survivability when she's in the tank link, Barrowin is an excellent healing choice for formations with multiple front-line slots and a cluttered 2nd column. Her ultimate has also been redesigned to give your formation a quick boost of power and survivability whenever you desire.
Evelyn:
  • Added health increasing upgrades to Evelyn to match the new healing/tanking curve.
  • Buffed Evelyn's Global DPS upgrades, and added another one near max level. Adjusted her upgrades to Divine Prayer as well to get her on-par with other tanking buffers.
  • Added an upgrade that increases the max health of all other Champions in the formation by a 25% of Evelyn's max health. This includes other tanks (4 tanks in formation ~= tank-health level squishies and double-health tanks).
  • Steadfast Might now also stacks when enemies or bosses begin to enrage. It counts each enrage increase as one additional attacking enemy.
  • Evelyn's axe gear (slot 1) is now global DPS instead of self DPS.
  • TLDR: Evelyn didn't require much maintenance. She's intended to be squishier than Nayeli or the other buffer tanks, but with more buffing potential. We added health upgrades to keep her in line with the new health/healing curve, and adjusted her upgrades to improve the scaling of her Divine Prayer buff effects.
Donaar:
  • Donaar's healing ability has been rebalanced in line with the new health curve. This has resulted in several upgrades being removed, and several being heavily nerfed.
  • Reduced the base values of Donaar's healing loot from 25/87.5/150/275% to 10/30/50/100%.
  • TLDR: Donaar was designed prior to most of the tanking and healing update being laid out, so his changes are minimal. Mostly just tweaks to his healing values to bring him in line with the new health curve.
Changes:
  • Health potions have been added back into chests. The effects have been reduced to 50%, 100%, 200%, and 300%, due to the change in the health scaling curve.
  • Bosses now spawn in lower 2/3rds of spawn area so tall bosses are less hidden
  • The force favor convert dialog now shows the current amount of the favor that is selected to convert to

  • Fixed the description of the number of eyeballs bobbing in the Large Potion of Clairvoyance

Features:
  • Added two new Barovia-based adventures to the Grand Tour campaign, along with a variant for each
  • In preparation for our upcoming Liar's Night event, we've done a balance pass on Krond, bringing his hammer-smashing ability up to par with more recent game additions:
  • After a year of being looked down upon, Krond is now Chaotic Evil
  • He's also been working out; STR increased from 16 to 18
  • Krond's base damage has been doubled, and several of his self damage upgrades have been improved
  • Krond's base attack speed has been lowered from 5.75 and 5.25, meaning he's quicker to follow-up with additional cantrip attacks
  • Krond's ultimate attack has been un-nerfed somewhat, increasing its damage multiplier
  • Increased the damage modifier of Krond's Thunderclap and Fire Bolt cantrips
  • Buffed upgrades to Eldritch Strike to give Krond's follow-up attacks more of a kick

  • Fixed an exploit where Azaka could stack up tiger attacks by being benched at the right time (hotfixed Oct 9th)

Highharvestide Scaling & Bug Fixes

Updated Event: Highharvestide Year 2!

Version 0.2.47 (2018-10-03): Updated Event: Highharvestide Year 2!
Features:
  • Added year 2 of the Highharvestide event. As this is our first year 2 event, we're trying several things to mitigate there being two new champions for many players to gear up:
    • The year 1 adventure and variants have had their token costs reduced by 75%
  • Free plays for both champions now start with a token cost of 500 and increase with each successful completion, capping at 2500. The increase is tracked separately for each champion, allowing you to get several cheaper free plays for each champion. This will give new players ~7 free plays for each Champion, and returning players who already have Stoki geared up ~10 free plays for the new champion, plus 4 cheaper Stoki ones.
Balance Changes:
  • Hits-based enemies now require that the attacker does more than 0 damage in order to take a hit (only affects variants where Champions are reduced to 0 dps)

Fixes:

  • Time gates now use saved formations from the original event adventures
  • The tier 4 Kelemvor blessings now properly require blessings purchased in Kelemvor to unlock, not Torm

Balance Changes:
  • If a chest drops a shiny card for an item you have that is already shiny, you'll earn 5x the normal card levels from that duplicate. Note: this can only occur if you already have all of the possibly shiny cards a chest can drop, otherwise a shiny drop will always be for a non-shiny slot

Balance Changes:
  • Event free play now guarantees a gold event chest as a reward at least every 4 free plays
  • Whether or not a chest contains a shiny item is now determined before any items in the chest are generated; the new odds are 0.1% per chest, instead of 0.1% per equipment item. This is a slight nerf to the initial shiny drop rate, but due to how the old system worked once you have two or three shinies it is an overall buff
Fixes:
  • Fixed an issue where event token drops could be lost if you closed/restarted the game while the game was still catching up from a stagnant period of no drops

  • Added the Marvelous Magic Weekend buff
Changes:

  • Changed all occurrences of "Cattie-Brie" to "Cattie-brie". Let us know if you spot any we missed.
Fixes:
  • It should no longer be able to bench Cattie-brie on the Catti-alone objective and not be able to drag her back from the bench

  • Fixed a few typos in the new content
  • Fixes for some issues with the optimization from the previous patch

  • The game will now let you know if you need to reload to get new chest data when redeeming a coupon code (this can occur sometimes if you load the game before an update, ans then try to redeem a code related to that update)


Early Access Update 23

Version 0.2.23 (2018-02-23): Early Access Update #23
Features:
  • Added the "Truly Neutral Weekend" buff, which boosts the power of several neutrally Champions until Monday, February 26th at noon PST
  • Added a new set of Champion upgrades; players should be able to push through another 20-25 areas. Note: due to the upcoming tanking and healing changes, these new upgrades do not include additional health or healing bonuses for tanks and healers
Clarification (no actual change):
  • Clarification regarding the chests update: Chest will always attempt to drop at least one upgraded equipment card if one is available (without adjusting the rarity of the items in the chest); it is not guaranteed that this upgrade will be of the highest rarity the chest drops, and only one upgrade is guaranteed (if possible)
  • Example for Gold Chest: It's possible (through extremly unlikely) to get a green upgrade in the same chest you get two purple duplicates (if you had a white or empty slot available); it's also possible (but still unlikely) to get a green upgrade in the same chest as a blue duplicate, even if you have blue upgrades available. The upgrade is not guaranteed to be blue or better, and you are not guaranteed to get more than one upgrade per chest
Balance Changes:
  • Ultimate cooldown reduction equipment items have been rebalanced. Epic gear now reduces the cooldown by 1/4th of the base cooldown, rare by 1/10th, uncommon by 1/20th, and common by 1/40th. This was done in order to make it so that shiny and golden c/d reduction epics do not instantly cap your Champion's ultimate c/d at level 1 and also to give value to players whose c/d reduction items have already leveled up from receiving duplicates or using blacksmithing contracts. Note: in some cases the rebalancing resulted in an *increase* to the c/d reduction on lower rarity items
  • Ultimate cooldown reduction equipment items now have a mox. level. After an item is at or above max level, no more of those items will appear in chests (unless they are an upgrade or a shiny item), and that slot will not be a valid target for blacksmithing contracts. For the exisiting set of c/d reduction items, the max level varies based in the gild level of the item. Normal = 501, Shiny = 251, Golden = 126. These max levels apply to all rarities, so a maxed uot non-epic item will not necessarily provide maxed out c/d reduction
  • For players whose c/d reduction items are already above these levels, or whose items exceed the max level in the future due to an upgraded gild level, we are planning to create a system to automatically distribute those extra levels among other items owned by that hero, however we do not have an ETA on that system
Changes:
  • Clarified the wording of the "Epically Geared" Kelemvor blessing
Fixes:
  • Fixed the dates for the Sune favor conversion window
  • Fixed an extreme edge case where if you had all the shinc items a chest could drop, additional guaranteed shiny items could potentionally downgrade a golden item to shiny
  • Fixed several typos. Thank you for the reports!
Coming Soon:
  • More events, champions, adventures, and variants (always)

Early Access Update 6

Version 0.2.6 (2017-10-11): Early Access Update #6
Features:
  • Added two new adventures to the Grand Tour of the Sword Coast campaign (Terror in the Dark and Unearthed Evil), including one challenging variant for each, and Free Play
  • Added Divine Favor conversion system:
  • You can spend Divine Favor from temporary campaigns (events) for a burst of Divine Favor in a permanent campaign (currently only Torm's Favor from the Grand Tour of the Realm campaign)
  • The boost is increased by 20% for every 2 orders of magnitude of favor you convert. So 100 favor = 20% boost, 10,000 favor = 40% boost, 1,000,000 favor = 60% boost, and so forth. The percentage is continuous, so every bit of Divine Favor helps
  • You cannot convert your favor while you are on an adventure that awards that favor
  • You can choose to convert your favor at any time, but will be forced to convert your favor after one week (or after your first reset after one week if you are still on an event adventure)
  • The conversion system can be found within the new Blessings system (see below)
  • Added Blessings system:
  • You can spend Divine Favor (ie. Torm's Favor) in permanent campaigns to improve your heroes. Most of the Blessings apply only to that campaign, but several apply global buffs to all permanent and temporary campaigns
  • Divine Favor spent on Blessings will no longer count towards your gold find (or whatever other bonus the Favor may provide), so choose wisely. The game will warn you if you are spending more than 1% of your available favor on a single Blessing
  • You can reset all of your purchased upgrades in a given campaign, however only 99% of the Divine Favor you spent on the upgrades will be returned
  • The Blessings and Conversion systems can be accessed by a new icon in the top-left
Fixes:

  • Ultimate attacks now scale off of your formation's total DPS (listed in the top-left corner) instead of individual Champion damage, allowing you to use them without needing to constantly adjust your formation. Several attacks have been slightly reduced in effectiveness to balance for this change, but in general this change may allow you to push through bosses that you may not have been able to beat before, due to the vastly increased effectiveness of your non-main damage-dealer's ultimate attacks
  • A number of changes have been put in place in an attempt to rebalance health and monster damage such that tanking large clusters of monsters is less trivial for non-tank/healing spec'd formations. We will continue to monitor the viability of tanking specs to make sure that they are interesting and viable compared to non-tanking specs
