This guide offers three builds that focus on her strengths; each sharpened by traits, perk paths, and card suggestions that will help you craft a deck worthy of her silk-threaded domain.

We Were Born In ItMay 30, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsWelcome back to our Weekly Challenge Report, Travelers! You think darkness is your ally? You merely adopted the dark. This week… it fights back. This week’s challenge plunges you into Pitch Black, where enemies still hit hard, move faster, and just won’t die—unless you outwit them. XP is high. Visibility is low. And the heroes? They’re out here praying the next turn isn’t their last. ⸻ 🕳️ What You’re Dealing With: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38602910/00741889fb129f9a9f76fc5c7a1a18cb386681f0.png 🌘 Darkest Night – All Dark charges go boom at end of the turn. Stack wrong, die loud. ❤️ Vigorous Monsters – +25% HP. Everything’s bulkier. Including bosses. 🧠 Smart Heroes – You earn 50% more XP. Congrats. Now level up or get steamrolled. 💨 Fast Monsters – Monster Speed +1. Hope you stretched for the new marathon. 🔻 Vulnerable Monsters – But hey, they’ve got -15% resistance. Try to bring raw numbers, not dots. 🛡️ Ironclad Monsters – Monster damage taken reduced by 3. They feel nothing, so punch harder. Enemies this week are essentially tanks with built-in turbo. You’ll need burst, brains, and more Dispel than you thought possible. ⸻ 🛡️ Party Report – The Night's Watch: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38602910/8b1fb7172b691122eadbc5424e039550aea95f83.png 💀 Malukah – Darkness incarnate. Applies Hexes and debuffs while soaking up every whisper of light. 🦎 Thuls – The poison-tongued predator. Slower than the enemies now, but still lethal with prep. 📖 Reginald – Sustain engine online. If he’s alive, the party isn’t dead. Yet. 🦌 Bree – Spiked walls and support. Built for attrition and holding fast against speed demons. This crew isn’t here to light the way through. They’re here to outlive the dark, molded by it. 💡Tip of the week: Smart Heroes = Power Spike Potential. You’re earning 50% more XP, so make it count. Prioritize early camp nodes and power cards that scale fast (like Evolving Thoughts or Adaptive Mutation). Stack resistance reduction and exploit Vulnerable Monsters with raw damage—not just clever combos. ⸻ 🎁 Rewards From the Shadows: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38602910/049d2ef1e84ced7c8d1f04f6a76e9e8f0661e8f3.png Survive to the end of Act 3 and unlock: • A card back stitched from shadows • One carved in frost and bone. Your reward for surviving the night? A reason to brag about it. ⸻ 💬 Your Turn – What Broke First: Your Build or Your Spirit? ☘️ Tell us, did you survive with 1 HP or wipe in Act 1? 🐍 Did Thuls stack poison so high it broke the UI? 📊 Did your team fall apart to one wittle enemy with a crit? Give us your suffering. Your wipes. Your “I thought this was a good idea” moments.

The machines are rising. The heat is unbearable. The air crackles with arcane feedback and failed automation. This week’s challenge, Rise of the Machines, drops you into constructs and pressure-cooked mistakes. Every room could be your last — unless your boons stack faster than the damage does. The weather’s heating up. So is the map. Might as well melt with purpose! ⸻ ⚙️ What You’re Dealing With: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38602910/9d6de654ea62e35c93cf25c9a20519cc9c9e4293.png 🔥 Extreme Burning – Burn deals double damage if enemies have 2 or fewer curses. Stack smart, or catch fire fast. 💢 Contained Fury – Fury now boosts damage by +2% per stack, but no longer causes Bleed. Clean hits and heavy impact make for a good win. 🏆 Double Boons – boon you gain is doubled. You can snowball or combust. 🦁 Spiritual Monsters – +10% resistance to Holy, Shadow, and Mind. These constructs don’t care about your sacred rituals. ❤️ Vigorous Monsters – +25% HP across the board. Bring stamina and sustained damage. 🎲 Lucky – Easier event rolls. A bit of good fortune where everything else really, really hates you. Like a lot. Sorry. This is a challenge built for synergy and speed—you’ll need to punch through heat-hardened defenses and outpace the flame before the constructs rebuild themselves around your ashes. ⸻ 🔧 Party Report – Forge Squad Alpha: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38602910/9db401fc0a782b3c0d67e2e31ba1746a8d5bc691.png 🐷 Ottis – Sanctifies, dispels, and sweats through it all. The healer who deserves hazard pay but doesn't get any. 👑 Cornelius – The firestarter. With Double Boons, he doesn’t burn enemies—he erases them. 🐻 Grukli – Smashes steel like it insulted his beard. Zero finesse. Infinite rage. 🐺 Magnus – The line between you and immediate death. Holds it well. Usually. Together, they’re less a party and more a walking furnace with a healing pig in the back. 💡Tip of the week: Double Boons = Double Momentum. Prioritize cards and your heroes that can generate buffs quickly—Barrier, Energize, or even Fury chains. A well-timed Inner Fire or Fortify can snowball your run if stacked early. Just don’t forget your dispels, and you might just survive long enough to see Act 3! ⸻ 🎁 Rewards From the Depths: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38602910/28a5e281a6e1ee3321c6c62bc27c9e710fba3bd4.png Survive to Floor 3 and unlock two new card backs: One forged in the inferno, and the other chilled by contrast—because even the machine gods respect balance. ⸻ 💬 Post-Forge Debrief: Drop Your Run Logs! 💥 Did Cornelius nuke an enemy with a cool card combo? 🍖 Did Magnus stand alone while Ottis cooked on the back row? 🧠 Found a double-boon combo that made you feel like a genius?

This week’s challenge drops your party into an icy gauntlet—where every burn chills, every chill slows, and every mistake earns you double the bruises. Welcome to Frozen to the Bone, a test of endurance, crowd control, and whether you can still think clearly while frozen solid. ⸻ 🧊 What You’re Dealing With: 🔥 Frostfire – Burn now deals Cold damage andreduces Fire and Cold resistance by 0.3% per stack. That’s right—your fire chills. ❄️ Intense Cold – Chill slows you more aggressively: 1 speed loss per 4 stacks instead of 5. Chill control is a must. 💰 Prosperity – Gold and shard gain is boosted by 50%. Don’t forget to invest in your team wisely. 🐌 Slow Monsters – Enemies lose speed, too. Great for turn control and setup. 💉 Double Injuries – Taking damage past your limits? Expect two injuries for the price of one. Survivability matters. 👑 More Champions – Elite enemies appear more frequently. Build with flexibility and bring dispels—you’ll need them. This is the kind of challenge where forgetting a cleanse costs you two injuries, your tank shatters like ice glass, and your best burn card ends up… well, cold. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38602910/0001386a5fa2616cc8a800309797ccb6b0d5bf88.png ⸻ 🧾 Party Report – Expedition Briefing: 💀 Malukah – Support with strong Chill and Hex synergy. Keep her alive, she keeps you steady. 🦂 Zek– DoT and curse specialist. Slows and rot pair perfectly in drawn-out fights. 🐻 Grukli –Frontline bruiser. Protect him early, watch him punish slow enemies late. 💎 Evelyn – Cold-focused control mage. Scales well and locks down fights when it counts. They didn’t dress for the weather—but they did bring a plague rat, a crystal cannon, and a whole lot of attitude. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38602910/7283245961ad8ddb05437d4eee4b18b7ea6d7126.png Tip: Use the global slowing to your advantage. Plan around initiative, not just power. Cards like Chilling Touch and Cleanse effects go a long way here. Watch out for champions with AoE debuffs—double injuries can destroy your run if ignored. ⸻ 🃏 Rewards Worth the Frostbite: Reach Floor 3 to unlock a chillingly cool card back—perfect for bragging rights and matching your frostbitten deck builds. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38602910/c390fdeb81fa76bd7815db0a1a51d9a5e62f9c56.png ⸻ 💬 Let’s Hear Your Cold, Hard Losses 🧠 Got a strategy that saved your party from double injuries? 🧠 Share your strategies, meme moments, or full-on wipe stories in the comments. ⚔️ Discovered a combo that makes Frostfire actually fun?

This week' s challenge is: Threatening Howls It’s full of bleed, rich in gold, and dangerously slow. A fairytale gone horribly wrong. ⸻ 🩸 What You’re Dealing With: 🩸 Hemorrhage: Enemies apply 2 Bleed charges that hit at the end of the turn, bypassing Buffer and Bleed Immunity. It hurts more than it should. ⚡ Energized Heroes: Every hero starts with +1 energy each turn, guess you got your dose of caffeine in! 🐢 Slow Heroes : Unfortunately, you're not winning any race today, -1 speed to your whole party. I don't make the rules. 🌪️ Elemental Monsters: All monsters gain +10% Fire, Cold, and Lightning resistance. Hope you weren’t counting on consistent damage output. 💰 Wealthy Heroes : You begin with +300 gold and shards. Great! Use it fast, before the wolves get you. 💉 Double Injuries: When you take an injury, you get an extra copy. Because clearly open wound wasn’t enough.

Fixed a bug that closed the path in the Sahti Shores when performing a Critical Success or Critical Failure when entering the Loa Passage using the group option roll. Fixed an issue with the Story Time event in Senenthia that showed a bit more replies than intended. Fixed a display bug that increased the current Act number when entering a dungeon.

This means that no matter in which round the combat ends, you will always have the same reward of experience, gold and cards at the end. Note: With this corruptor activated, the only thing the thermometer will count for is for the purpose of improving the final score. With this new corruptor we want to promote a game a little more relaxed and without the pressure of having to finish a fight quickly to finish in excellent. Also at high levels of madness we hope that with this corruptor we will open more opportunities to builds of a more defensive character or with more varied strategies, since at score level it won't matter so much in which round you finish the combat. Damage calculation changes We have changed how the damage is calculated for several cards that had two damage types and under certain conditions. Damage has been unified when there are two sources of damage of the same type, either by the card itself (Fixed number + X) or by a card with two different sources but that have been transformed to the same type. From now on, in the damage preview and in the damage result, it will be counted as a single source (they will be added and then the bonuses will be applied), instead of two damage sources of the same type. On the cards with 2 defined damage types, when converted to the same type, only 1 value will be shown on the card (remember to right click on the card to see the original card). We hope this change will make everything more consistent and intuitive. We have improved the damage preview, showing the damage done for cards with "X" where x was 0, but it dealt damage due to having bonus damage.

Welcome to the third and final preview of our upcoming set of new DLC’s. In the first two parts, we introduced you to the two new multiclass heroes coming to the game—Sigrun, the Valkyrie, and Bernard, the alchemist. This time, our attention turns to the 3rd expansion setting, the once peaceful but now pirate-infested Sahti Islands. In this diary, we’ll talk more about the lore behind the islands, the people who inhabit them and the different factions competing to dominate them. Without further ado, let’s set sail! A pirate’s life When we first started planning this expansion, we decided early on that we wanted to explore a classic fantasy setting. In particular, we were after a naturally adventurous theme with scope for exploration, excitement and recognisable character tropes. The idea of a pirate setting ticked all of these boxes. You can expect plenty of traditional pirate references, but we also wanted to ensure we added a touch of AtO magic. So, what can you expect to see from an Obelisk-style pirate fantasy? Dastardly pirates? It’d be weird without them. A friendly, superstitious native folk who live and die by their traditions? Absolutely. A powerful and cruel overseas trading company profiting by exploiting the islands? Naturally. A navy waging war against the pirates? 100%. Pirates feuding between themselves in a bid to become pirate king? Sure. Legendary creatures lurking beneath the waves? Check. Ridiculous pirate jokes? Aye! So, everything you’d want from a classic pirate experience, plus one or two surprises yet to be revealed… That’s an overview of what to expect. Let’s take you deeper into the lore. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38602910/efdf015c6966491f8ecb1f5affe1cea708a9be05.png The lore The Sahti Islands are known as that because of the Sahti people who inhabit them. The Sahti are peaceful sea folk who live in communion with playful warden spirits called the Loa. Over the years, the Sahti have needed to defend themselves from those seeking to exploit their archipelago. The main offenders were the pirates and the greedy overseas trading company (COT), eager to turn the islands’ resources into cold, hard cash. An uneasy truce has existed between these factions. But everything changes when the Sahti Islands’ obelisk activates, awakening the terrifying Rust King and a hoard of ghastly creatures from beneath the waves. The chaos unleashed by the obelisk upsets the delicate balance between the factions. The navy is left struggling to protect the Sahti people. The trading company, hellbent on protecting its investment and profits, decides to step up the exploitation of the Sahti’s natural resources. On top of all that, the pirates are at war with each other to decide who will become the new pirate king. Turmoil is an understatement! So, this is the scene you will find yourselves in as you arrive at the Sahti Islands. But which group will you pledge your allegiance to? That’s up to you! An important feature of this expansion is tha...Across the Obelisk - Dev diary 2 - BernardJan 10, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsHHi, everyone! Today, we’re thrilled to share the second of three Dev Diaries, diving into another key piece of this pirate-themed adventure. Last time out, we took you to the Sahti Islands, the tropical setting for the new set of DLC’s. We also introduced you to Sigrun, a powerful Valkyrie. Now, our attention turns to another new playable hero, Bernard, a friendly turtle-man alchemist. Bernard is also a multiclass hero, combining a scout's skills with the curative abilities of a healer. Our next dev diary will explore the expansion’s setting and lore, along with many of the new items and enemies that it introduces. For now, say hello to Bernard. Bernard’s lore Bernard is an elderly turtle-man who has lived alone in his shell as a hermit at the bottom of the Sahti Islands sea for many years. He’s also an alchemist who travelled the world when he was younger. During his travels, he found and then mastered a wide variety of exotic ingredients, developing powerful abilities along the way. Fast forward to the present, and we find Bernard as an old turtle-man with his best days behind him. Sorry, Bernard! But while he’s far from young, he still has the spirit of a hardened adventurer. So, when he’s woken by a group of adventurers searching for a cure to a plague afflicting a Sahti village, Bernard summons up the energy for one last journey. Our hermit friend’s motivations aren’t entirely selfless, though. He dreams of finding the philosopher’s stone, a powerful artefact that could help prolong his life. As you take Bernard on an adventure through a seabed transformed by the obelisk, you’ll encounter mysterious creatures and uncover ancient secrets. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38602910/77ea3115512f908a8db6b37b5c142316fd607335.png Bernard’s abilities We’ve given you Bernard’s backstory, but how does he play in-game? With the introduction of these heroes, we wanted to explore new class combinations you haven’t seen in AtO before. Bernard is a multiclass hero, healer and scout, a new combination in the game. Our hope is that this healer-scout combo will give you the flexibility to come up with new and exciting party compositions. We can’t wait to see how you use him! Bernard heavily uses Flask, a new card tag introduced in an update coming alongside this latest expansion. You’ll see the Flask tag added onto several existing Scout and Healer cards, so it’s going to be something you run into even if you decide not to download the Bernard hero pack. As well as Flask, next week’s update introduces a new effect called Rust. Rust unlocks new and powerful ways to hurt your enemies, and it’s the secret to getting the best out of Bernard. Finally, our shell-dwelling hermit will be accompanied by a new pet: Inky, his loyal octopus friend. Bernard’s origins The concept for Bernard came from our interest in alchemists, an archetype seen throughout culture and one that we find fascinating. We loved the idea of an older hero with a rich and adventurous history. Making him a tur...Across the Obelisk - Dev diary - SigrunJan 8, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsHi, everyone! It’s an exciting time for us as we get closer to the release of Sahti Islands. We have three dev diaries for you over the next few days. Each of them will cover a different aspect of the new expansion. But before we dive into the details, let’s set the scene. Today, we’re unveiling the first of three Dev Diaries, each spotlighting an exciting element of this high-seas expansion. To kick things off, let’s meet a powerful new ally who’s ready to join the party and turn the tides of battle: Sigrun, the Valkyrie! The Sahti Islands Your adventure begins on the beautiful Sahti Islands, which have been thrown into chaos by the awakening of an ancient and powerful obelisk. This spells trouble for the indigenous Sahti people, a peaceful and spiritual sea folk. Their lives are now under threat, with various groups looking to capitalise on the turmoil. As they vie for dominance, each working to establish control of the island’s precious resources, the Sahti natives are caught in the middle. Will you defend the islanders or throw your weight behind one of the factions? That’s up to you! We’ll have more on the history and lore of the Sahti Islands, its native people and the warring factions in a future diary. Today, we’re focusing on the first of two new playable heroes coming to the game—Sigrun, the Valkyrie. Sigrun’s background Let’s start by looking at Sigrun’s lore: who she is, where she comes from and how her background has shaped her abilities on the battlefield. We’ve deliberately shrouded Sigrun’s origins in mystery. The story goes that fishermen stumbled upon her on a desert island as they investigated the appearance of a large crater. Although she was alive, she had lost part of her memory and had no recollection of how she had arrived there. The fishermen, believing she was an angel from a legendary civilisation in the clouds, took her to a local village where she was worshipped as a god. As thanks for their help, Sigrun vowed to protect the Sahti people. The conflict caused by the awakening of the obelisk now threatens her new friends, and she decides to go on a journey to cleanse the Sahti coasts of their enemies. Although she is highly competent on the battlefield, Sigrun is still affected by her memory loss. As you set off on your adventure with Sigrun, these missing pieces of her mind await discovery. Progressing through the expansion will reveal the hidden secrets of Sigrun’s past. What will you find? That would be telling! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38602910/90d267f13721e70cd0d46faaa7ee8891f68f793a.png Sigrun’s origins and abilities We’ve given you a decent understanding of Sigrun and how she came to be on the Sahti Islands. Let’s now talk a little bit about her abilities and why we made some of these design choices. With this expansion and introduction of these new heroes, we wanted to explore class combinations not currently in the game. Sigrun is both a scout and a mage, a brand-new combo for AtO. Sigrun’s introduction opens up a bu...Happy Holidays from Across the Obelisk! 🎄Dec 20, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsAs the year draws to a close, we want to take a moment to wish our wonderful community a joyful holiday season.
