Endless Slumber - Patch #27

Team Horizon

β€”

Dec 04, 2019

New icons for Prisms & unit triggers, revamped downloader, and 67 total card changes. This week is sure to put you in an endless slumber after reading it all! πŸ˜„

Features

  • Heroes now display their respective Prism in-game
  • Units and Enchantments in play will now show their triggers with icons 😲

Improvements

We now update assets at the individual file level, instead of the whole asset library every time we release. This means files you already have cached on your device won't be re-downloaded unless we've changed them (which we seldom do).

A lot of redundant downloads should be prevented now, so users should see much faster loads on future matches, and much less data usage, even when we push asset updates! πŸ’œ

Cards

Push to 100 cards in each Prism, including Intellect on the bench, which absorbed a lot of cards this patch. Not all changes are included, such as Prism-only shifts.

Trying a bigger reward for (usually) having waited to kill a unit.

Ragnarok - Give target unit +3/+1 and lifesteal. Do 3 Damage to dark enemies.

    Text: Give target unit +3/+1. Do 3 Damage to dark enemies. => Give target unit +3/+1 and lifesteal. Do 3 Damage to dark enemies.

    Keywords: None => banner

    Prism: tok => wis

Buffed and added to the deckbuilding pool. Probably overcosted, though I like another Wall of Dead answer.

    Name: Windweaver => Spellweaver

    Prism: hrt => wis

    Attack: 4 => 2

    Cost: 2 => 1

    Text: Do 1 Damage to a target. Do 1 Damage to enemies. => Do 1 Damage to a target. Do 1 Damage to all units.

Cheap AoE potion, following recent trend of more symmetric AoE.

    Health: 6 => 7

    Spell: None => Two Bees

    Text: Do 3 Damage to a target, or 6 Damage if it has armor. => Do 2 Damage to a target, or give it -6 Health if it has armor.

Mostly a nerf to Strength burn, with upside that ignores the armor.


Deep Freeze (1019)

Deep Freeze - Give target unit Frozen. Do 1 Damage to enemies.

    Cost: 3 => 4

    Prism: hrt => str

Tuning removal, seemed good before, curious if there's room to buff at 4c.

    Attack: 7 => 6

Redesigned to new metal art.

Sworn Oni - Glory triggers on allies trigger twice.

    Cost: 6 => 5

    Text: Glory triggers of allies trigger twice. => Glory triggers on allies trigger twice.

    Health: 3 => 2

Cheaper cost should be overall buff to the Glory strategy.

    Name: Light Shield => Forcefield

    Text: Your hero conjures a light spell. Give units in your hand Spell Shield. => Give allies Spell Shield and +1 Health.

Spite & Malice - Play: Summon a stealth copy of this unit.

Bird Mask - Give target ally unit Shroud and banner.

    Text: Give ally units Shroud. => Give target ally unit Shroud and banner.

    Keywords: banner => None

    Prism: tok => agy

    Cost: 4 => 5

    Text: Summon a 1c unit, with +2/+3. => Summon a 1c unit, with +3/+3.

I liked the flat buff of +3/+3. It seemed too good at 4c, curious if it's playable at 5c.


Glorious Mane (712)

Glorious Mane - Target unit becomes light. Give light allies +1/+1 and Spell Shield.

    Text: Target unit becomes light. Give it guard and +2/+2. => Target unit becomes light. Give light allies +1/+1 and Spell Shield.

More changes for this card, trying an incentive to play light units.

Mind Stone - Exhaust your hero to draw two mind cards, with +1c.

    Text: Exhaust your hero to draw a mind card, with -2c. => Exhaust your hero to draw two mind cards, with +1c.

An old favorite design returns, should be a premier Mind draw.

Zoomie - Summon: Readies.

    Cost: 5 => 6

    Cost: 5 => 6

    Attack: 3 => 4

Wartlock - Summon: Summon a unit. Kill it.

    Cost: 5 => 4

    Attack: 3 => 2

    Spell: Tomb Stone => Soul Crush

    Text: Gets +1 Attack when you draw a card. => Gets +1 Attack when you draw a spell.
