Character Balancing Tori the Paladin We are making changes to the perpetual ability of Mercy X due to the introduction of Permenant Blessings. Mercy X Removed Card Text : If you have a Blessing, consume it, this attack becomes Perpetual and you are granted Forcefield until the end of turn. New Card Text : If you have a Blessing, consume it, you are granted Void Shield and Forcefield until the end of turn. Ver 1.0.8 PatchOct 16, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsVer 1.0.7 Patch Highlights Roxxor Upgrade Cards Balancing Bug fixes and Performance Improvements Character Balancing Roxxor the Giant Roxxor falls behind other champions in his diversity of playstyles with a narrow range of playable upgraded cards. As one of the earlier characters which we designed upgraded cards for, we admittedly started off rather conservatively with the power levels of his cards that can change up the pacing of his strategies. Spine Pull X This grapple was designed as the fastest but weakest one out of Roxxor’s kit. But as an upgraded card with a high rate of failure, it doesn’t make the cut unless it has more of a set up potential to boost other cards. The added Momentum can make Roxxor’s playstyle faster as it is only for a single action point opening up a more aggressive rate of play. Momentum Value : 1 3 Trunk Whack and Trunk Whack X Trunk Whack is an interesting reaction card where it is not designed as your typical answer to your opponents, but instead it is a punishment for forgetting that it exists. The nature of Trunk Whack is to be a sabotaging card where the damage it can deal could potentially be game winning with one big strike. This attribute was probably too hidden with a rather generic damage value so we increased the damage and replaced determined in the upgrade version with a damage boost that can further this mechanic to bigger extremes. Trunk Whack Damage Value : 5 Ver 1.0.6 PatchOct 9, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsVersion 1.0.6 Patch Highlights Redeye and Ardelean balancing Lifesteal and Fortune Reversal Clarification and Mechanic Updates Various Bug Fixes and changes Character Balancing Redeye the Werewolf Redeye has been at the top end of the meta for a long time now and the proprietor of the aggressive pacing that the meta needs to answer in order to stay competitive. Redeye by design is a boom or bust character where he either wins quickly or struggles to recover from bad turns. We’re toning down Howl to limit the amount of damage that can be dished out in a turn and making it easier for the opponent to regain control through reactions to stop the rampaging werewolf. Howl Bloodlust requirement : 1 > 0 Damage boost value : 2 > 1 Howl X Bloodlust requirement : 1 > 0 Ardelean the Vampire We are making several more changes to Ardelean in this balance patch to limit the amount of flexibility his deck has access to. From consistent draws to powerful blood feast effects, the combination creates a very stable experience with the vampire where as long as he gets his resources going, he quickly snowballs to become unstoppable in both offensive and defensive aspects. We are targeting these 3 cards to limit the snowball effect on good turns when he has all the pieces at once. Ulterior Motive and Ulterior Motive X Bonus Speed Value : 2 > 1 Primal Thirst and Primal Thirst X Bonus Attack Value : 3 > 2 Death Awakening Blood Feast requirement : 4 3 Nocturnal Hunter X We are changing the effect of this card because of the changes to LifeSteal and Fortune Reversal not being affected by the bonuses and limitations of Healing effects. As Ardelean already has many survival options, we opted to change the effect to an offensive tool to help Ardelean land attacks and blood feast generators more reliably. Card Text Removed : You are granted Double Heal Added Card Text : The damage of your next attack is increased by 3. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41575826/d9d77505954294171d41dbddf0303c53711686a9.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41575826/cb2f60c8af64850a4627b9dea7cc61215c78e1a4.jpg Lifesteal and Fortune Reversal clarifications We have updated the keyword text of these two mechanics to clear up confusions and change their interactions with Heal enhancers and limiters. These two mechanics will not be affected by bonus heal effects moving forward nor will they be affected by mechanics that will prohibit them as they are considered a Steal and Recovery. We will be designing and balancing cards under this philosophy moving forward when Ardelean and other champions receive changes. Life Steal : At the end of turn, take X lives from your opponent Fortune Reversal : You will temporarily lose 5(X) lives to draw X cards. For X turns, you will recover 5 lives at the end of turn.

Learning from our previous mistakes, we’ve carefully designed the interactions of Blood Feast and Blood Rush to create a new Monster experience. Due to the mechanic, Ardelean is atypical in his playstyle where he has to first collect blood then choose what abilities to upgrade with strategic card ordering. With a high ceiling and potential, we felt we had made certain elements of his set up a bit too easy. The following changes will lower the floor of Ardelean to balance out his potential compared to other champions. Vampiric Familiar and Vampyric Familiar X Unleashed cards are non-interactable for the opponent and generally balanced as a turn-by-turn win condition where the benefits don’t typically spread to subsequent turns. However, the almost inevitable lifesteal this card applies for just 2 blood feast, essentially sets up Ardelean for the whole game. We are adding in an additional condition for lifesteal to activate to require Ardelean to make more daring and bold plays to set up. Vampyric Familiars New card text : If you have already dealt damage this turn and you have Blood Feast, consume it and you are granted Lifesteal(1) and Cure. Vampyric Familiars X New card text : If you have already dealt damage this turn and you have Blood Feast, consume it and you Heal 5 lives, granted Lifesteal(1) and Cure. Ulterior Motive X Similarly, we felt that a powerful mechanic such as lifesteal should be conditional and require timing to play out. New card text : If neither you nor your opponent has any cards in play, attack speed is increased by 2 and you are granted Lifesteal(1). Breathless Embrace and Breathless Embrace X We’re tuning down the damage of this card to make it easier to stop and reducing the base amount of blood feast that can be gained. Attack damage : 7 > 6 Crimson Mist Dodge is the best type of reaction in game and normally its speed value is the major inhibiting factor of it. We’re removing the second tier of speed buff to limit its effectiveness and all rounded capabilities. Removed card text : If you have Blood Feast(3), consume it and your reaction speed is increased by 2 instead. Tori the Paladin Some small changes across cards to balance out the card choice in decks. Invocation and Invocation X Attack damage : 10 > 9 Judgement and Judgement X Attack damage : 8 6 Uncontrolled Aggression and Uncontrolled Aggression X Although niche, when used properly these cards are extremely powerful and perhaps too punishing to opponent’s that relies on smaller cards to set up. Uncontrolled Aggression Next Damage Boost : 4 > 3 Uncontrolled Aggression X Block Value : 5 > 4 Next Damage Boost : 4 3 Attack Damage : 9 > 8 Enryu the Gargantusaur Feral Defienace and Feral Defiance X Feral Defiance is defined by it’s strong defences capabilities but has been often overlo...Death or Glory is launching NOW!Sep 24, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsGreetings, Champions!

Ardelean, the Vampire will be entering the ring at launch, and he will be bringing a new form of terror to the arena! As both a Monster and a Vampire, Ardelean will of course be using blood as the main lethal tool. Instead of being brash and frenzy, Ardelean collects blood with his Blood Feast ability. When he consumes Blood, his attacks gain powerful effects such as Lifesteal and Perpetual that will be fatal once he starts his assault. Blood Feast can be acquired by playing specific cards that can be combed with damage enhancers, making your Blood reserves instantly full. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41575826/9287c1b46dc652ff0d53035938c717f7fc602bbe.gif Unlike the other Monsters, Ardelean’s play style is more strategic and tactical. This sneaky and aristocratic Vampire will play with his foes until he feels satisfied. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41575826/ba55170572dc4f94f30f35e5854b1ae6dbe35bc7.png Advanced players will also love experimenting with his new mechanic, Blood Rush which will increase both attack and reaction speeds. The higher a card’s speed goes, the more difficult it is for the opponent to react against. Ardelean has very interesting and high ceiling play patterns that make his card draw consistent and attacks inevitable. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41575826/088b5180b632939de76726137534161d93a0a0ca.gif Ardelean will be available 24/9/2024 at Death or Glory’s launch!

This should be a positive improvement to the stability of the overall game as we have discovered the previous savings methods was putting a lot of stress on the networking performance. We are still on the lookout for corner bugs such as desync issues, double text and window freezing which we expect to gradually improve as latest updates are live where we have been retooling many parts of the game to decrease VRAM usage. A new feature we have implemented is a Bug Reporting Button that is found in the options menu and surrender pop up. We would like to ask you and our community to help us to better the game and we would be grateful if our community can help our development by pressing the bug report button and writing a small comment when something unusual/unexpected happens. The function of the button is to send us a detailed log of the battle that we could then read and identify the root cause of the bug that was encountered. We are very thankful for our amazing community, and we will continue to improve Death or Glory with everyone’s help! Character Balancing Lee the Dragon Master Lee as a character has exceeded our expectations repeatedly. With his explosives combos and action regeneration abilities, Lee can reach many heights within just 2 or 3 turns. This is further enhanced by the nature of being a Warrior where, you start and end every turn with roughly the same resources and power level making Lee very consistent playing both the offense and defence. We are making these changes to both reduce the tempo and consistency of Lee between turns so he is more affected by what the opponent does throughout the battle. Leg Sweep The strong control potential of Knockdown enables Lee to perform OTKs and create huge advantages in one continuous stream of attacks that the opponent cannot react against. With how explosive the control effect already is, the damage boost was making the OTKs even more consistent and often Lee will end up killing without using any “big cards” and just use his regular set ups to do more than enough damage. The damage boost is removed so Lee will have to craft a more detailed hand with specific finishers and resources to OTK his foe. Removed Card Text : The damage of your attacks is increased by 1 until the end of the turn. 0 Leg Sweep X The upgraded version of Leg Sweep provides a major benefit of 1 extra base damage, which effectively made this card unstoppable through blocks, and your opponent had to rely on much more expensive and specific reactions such as dodge or absorptions. With how fast Lee can be and those types of reactions typically being resource hungry, a knockdown that does 8 damage without much of a cost nor condition has pushed Lee’s deck over the curve more than wh...EA 0.2.26 Mechanic UpdatesJul 24, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsPatch Highlights Stealth and Lock-On changes Mechanic Balancing Stealth Stealth has been a complicated mechanic for a while. On one hand if it fails too often, it does not provide the cost benefit for the caster, whilst on the other hand, the opponent is forced into a roulette where they roll a dice to see if their attacks succeed. We feel further nerfing/changing the percentages will not bring any aid to the problems nor is the mechanic inherently a failed design. We have decided to tackle stealth on two main aspects, its continuation throughout the game, and the methods in which the opponent can interact. The first change will be a continuation of the previous balance patch where we will add an additional scenario where stealth will be removed. After the patch, Stealth will be removed if the evasion chance remains at 30% at the end of turn. This will make one application of Stealth at most last for only two turns with it only being at full strength on the turn it is applied. The second change is not directly on the Stealth mechanic but is a change to Interrupt. All attacks that can Interrupt will now always hit a target in Stealth, effectively making the keyword a direct counter to Stealth. The opponent will now have three options to deal with stealth, the first being the most traditional attack till it hits, the second is to stall until it dissipates and the third will be to use Interrupt attacks to break through and combo off. Currently, we are making these changes with the notion of them being temporary. Stealth and Susan in general will be reviewed once again after a few weeks of testing and feedback. New Keyword Text : Stealth. You have a 60% chance of avoiding active damage. This is dropped to 30% when you attack, counter and at end of turn. Attacks with Interrupt will always hit. Stealth is removed when you take any form of damage and if you end the turn with 30% evasion chance. Interrupt Added ability : This attack will always hit a target in Stealth. Lock On The highs of Critical hits is certainly one of, if not the highlight of a Sniper’s gameplay. But sometimes when luck (or misfortune) comes too early on, a huge health advantage will be applied completely out of the blue. We are making a change to Lock-Ons mechanics by mitigating the early game potential of it by removing the increased damage at level 1 but instead apply stun to the opponent whenever critical hits. The triple damage will return only when Susan applies multiple levels of Lock On whilst maintaining the stun. Given the huge changes we are making to Susan through the rework of Stealth, we are going for a lighter approach in this first change of Lock On. New Keyword Text : Lock on. For each level of Lock on, there is a 20% chance you will take Critical damage after your reaction. At Lock-on level 1, critical attacks will apply Stun and at Lock-on level 2 and above, critical damage will be tripled as well. Character Balancing Susan the Sniper Mercy Killing and Mercy Killi...EA 0.2.23 Character Balacing UpdateJul 18, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsPatch Highlights • Character Balancing • Stealth Mechanic changes • Start and End turn Pass desync bugs resolved Character Balancing Sora the Elemental Sorcerer Over the past few weeks, we have been continuously making changes to the mage of the stars to better her chances at making her shine through her different elements. To differentiate her deck archetype from Crystal, we have avoided giving her similar levels of controlling keywords so she can be safe whilst setting up. We want Sora to have the ability to go towards the opposite and have a new fun way of playing the spellslinger class in an aggressive manner with quick and rapid attacks. This balance patch will introduce new mana synergies and attack-based combos that Sora manipulate to create a deck that can function in early turns. Strong Breeze Reduced Attack Speed increase : 2 > 1 Added card text : The Mana cost of cards played this turn is reduced by 1 Strong Breeze X Attack Speed : 4 1 Added card text : The Mana cost of cards played this turn is reduced by 1 Fire Bolt X Removed Card Text : If the Ignite value on your opponent is 2 or above, this attack becomes Perpetual. Added card Text : The damage of this attack is increased by the Ignite value on your opponent. Engulfing Hand X Removed Card Text : You are granted Invisibility Added Card Text : Reduce your opponent’s attack damage by 4 until the end of turn. Crystal the Ice Faerie We are reworking the mechanics of this card to create balancing valve’s for us to tune Winter’s Embrace moving forward. Winter’s Embrace Mana Cost : 3 3 Removed Card Text : If your health is lower than your opponent, it is increased by 2X. New Card Text : If your health is 15 or below, it is increased by 2X. Stealth mechanic balancing Stealth as an effect is crucial to certain character’s survivability, but as it stands the randomness and consistency of it when combed with other defensive abilities, makes going up against Susan a terrible experience. We are reworking Stealth to be, in general, a 1 turn benefit to allow players to more effectively play around these strategies and require a turn-by-turn reapplication if the user wants to sustain the full effect. Old behaviour : While you are in stealth, any attack damage misses 60% of the time. If you attack, counter or play a missile, miss chance is dropped to 30%. Any damage taken removes stealth. New behaviour : While you are in stealth, any attack damage misses 60% of the time. If you attack, counter, play a missile or at the end of turn, miss chance is dropped to 30%. Any damage taken removes stealth. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41575826/43850afc14497e02b507c71a47a86932ca9785bd.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41575826/6f507b2676cd3a21e53a0305604099f5beb34b1b.jpg Bug fixes • Resolved a desync issue when players with initiative press pass too quickly at the start of a new turn • Resolved a desync issue with the match not starting properly after the Start animation EA 0.2.19 Character Balacing UpdateJul 8, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsEA 0.2.20 Patch Highlights • Character Balancing : Redeye defences get dampened and Sora buffs to Ignite and Barrier playstyles Character Balancing Sora the Elemental Sorcerer This patch mainly focuses on a large revamp to Sora’s overall strength in both setup speed and survivability. Up against aggressive decks, early game Sora barely stands a chance with thin barriers and mana heavy spells that can be easily destroyed by other classes. We are increasing her overall barrier gains and survivability options by giving her access to Double Heal and the capabilities of increasing her Maximum Barrier. We have also decreased the activation cost of several of Ignite cards to push forward her damage potential to start around mid game rather than late game which is more fitting of her fiery passion. Astral Rain and Astral Rain X We replaced the draw capability of this card with Heal to increase the survivability of Sora in the early game where she will most likely need to lose some health in order to bait out resources for a safe spell casting. Sora already has an extremely potent draw engine in the midgame with Enduring Renewal which counteracts this change and allows both cards to serve different functions. Card text removed : Draw a card New card text : Heal(4) lives Fire Bolt and Fire Bolt X With the redesign of Tsunami, the practicality of using Fire Bolt is further diminished due to how easy it is to block the card. A small damage buff was implemented to make the attack playstyle more viable. Attack damage : 4 2 New Spell Damage :5/6 > 3 Raging Inferno New Card Text : Apply Ignite(3) to your opponent. If your Windy is active, apply Ignite(5) instead. Raging Inferno X New Card Text : You are granted Windy(1) and apply Ignite(3). If your Windy is active, apply Ignite(6) instead. Tsunami and Tsunami X To support Sora’s survivability, we have decided to allow Sora to be the first character in game to increase the maximum barrier value. This will allow Sora to gain benefits through Tsunami from the early game and present a different path to support her other effects rather than relying purely on reactions. Mana Cost : 5 > 4 Added card text : Increase your Maximum Barrier value by 1. Violent Tornado From the playtesting since the release of Sora, we have noticed that Windy has been the weakest part of Sora’s deck. On paper, Windy can be extremely powerful, coupled with Sora being able to increase her attack speed, she can quickly lock opponents out from attacking or blocking. But this has mainly been just a dream, as she wouldn’t have enough time to do all of those things within the multiplayer meta. We are increasing the synergised benefits from Violent Tornado to open up more strategies that can revolve around her wind magic. Increased Barrier Value : 2X 1 Windy Value : 2 > 1 Added card text : Increase your Arcane Resonance by 1. Howling Gale X In addition, we have added in an Ignite synergy for the upgraded version to allow another way of speeding up S...EA 0.2.19 Character Balacing UpdateJul 4, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsEA 0.2.19 Patch Highlights • Sora and Taj improvements towards the competitive meta • Character and ability balancing • Bug Fixes and Performance updates Sora the Elemental Sorcerer Sora is the latest champion introduced to Death or Glory. As the fire mage and most offensive spellcaster in the game, she acts as a countermeasure towards defensive heavy and control decks as spells cant be destroyed unless your opponent attacks. However, Sora currently struggles with turn 1 and turn 2 of the game with mediocre but mana heavy blocks, it is often very easy to deny Sora from her set up by just not playing cards. We made adjustments to her early game defensive package to make her mana build more flexible and card efficient so that her mid to late game can realistically happen. Tsunami and Tsunami X We have redesigned this card to synergise with all other barriers as both an enabler to them and as a defensive tool for Sora in the midgame. This new ability also fits the name and story of the card a bit more. Mana Cost : 4 1 Barrier Increased : 4 > 3 Water Jet and Aqueous Screen Arcane Requirement for bonus block value : 2 > 1 Water Jet X Block Value : 5 20 Dancing With Ghosts X, Jar of Snakes X, Horrid Swarm X All forms of Ascendent Worships are now applied directly instead of an activation through reapplying the same type of worship. Mindless Appartition X, Slithering Terror X, Endless Agony X The penalities of playing these cards has been changed from Devotion below 6 to their respective Worships not being active when played. Wall of Carcass X Heal : 3 1 Attack Damage : 6 > 5 Redeye the Werewolf Stun is a keyword we are increasingly becoming more aware of and careful with when balancing out characters in the current meta. We think stun has a place in Redeye’s kit but perhaps an unconditional one that is difficult to block without a cost, maybe too strong in Redeye’s already explosive deck list. We are adding the same play restriction of the normal card into the upgraded version to create more counterplay as well as changing both cards into Long Ranged attacks so that Redeye won’t be completely shut down by knockbacks. Silent Stalking Attack Range : Short 0 Omni Pull Text change: You are granted Force Charge Control the Elements!Jun 25, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsEA 0.2.16 Patch Highlights • New Champion : Sora the Elemental Sorcerer • Double EXP Week! • Card Balancing • Build Up behaviour changes • Bug and stability fixes New Champion - Sora the Elemental Sorcerer For most practitioners of the arcane art, gaining high proficiency within a magical domain, requires years of dedication. It is therefore unusual for a sorcerer to master a range of elemental skills. Sora has pushed herself harder than most because she is haunted by the last words of her late father. Constantly feeling inadequate and needing to prove herself, she believes her achievements can speak for themselves, not knowing even the most potent magic cannot heal a broken heart. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41575826/2bcf0e45048c54dfb6ded2e0dfe47eddeb77b528.jpg Control the Elements! The last character to complete the second cycle of releases will be Sora, a spellslinger that is an expert in casting fire and water magic. Usually, one can only be a master of a single type of magic, but through her determination, Sora has mastered both the offensive flames and the protective waters. Use her ignite cards to create huge balls of fire that will cause tremendous amounts of end turn damage that cannot be blocked. Or become inevitable by replenishing and empowering yourself through a reservoir of barriers. Sora has multiple powerful builds that can focus on different mechanics, making every step of her battle, more difficult for the opponent to predict. A deck of potential combos awaits discovery and mastery. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41575826/fe7a0035fe9f3f9442a6488954e28aa9a38ee99e.png Sora is now avaliable in Death or Glory! Founder's will automatically unlock Sora upon updating the game. Double EXP Week! To celebrate the release of Sora, double EXP will be available for all characters for a week! Earn, grind and collect cards at a much faster rate to prepare for upcoming tournaments and build your ultimate combo! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41575826/5490f98c4d096f5962b1079e92afebce1224bb5c.png Character Balancing In this update, we have addressed several issues brought up by the community following the last tournament. Lee - Hidden Dragon Death Mark cards are fun and we want to keep it as a viable build-around for players who like this element of both surprises and telegraphed moves. However, with such a powerful ability, cards that apply Death Mark cannot completely stand on their own to keep the balance. We have received feedback regarding techies feeling helpless against Death Mark as reloading becomes impossible since Hidden Dragon will be played whilst they are immobile. We have decided to reduce the base attack power of Hidden Dragon to a level where Barriers are also countering the card. Additionally, we feel that Death Mark cards should always require some form of setup and pre-requisite that is actively done by the player rather than being based on the opponent having a bad draw of their weaker reactions. Attack damage : 5 > 2 A.T.A.C.R - Repulsion Field X To put it...The Awakening Raid Event!May 31, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsNew Game Event : The Awakening Raid Challenge the awakened in a brand-new game mode which will test your determination in an all-out Boss Fight between the Living Legend and your champions! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41575826/9a973206833eaead99f15e21b4a1279757970f6a.png What is a raid? This new game mode will feature an all-new system that expands a single battle into multiple rounds. Raid bosses have extremely high HP and powerful scaling abilities that makes prolonged battles very tough to handle. But you are not alone, the power of one may not be enough but what about the power of 5! Call on the help of other champions to battle the boss by switching into them for the next round. With a combination of big missiles from techies, big spells from spellslingers and gigantic punches from warriors, even the impossible will start to seem possible. How to join raids? Join raid battles by using event tickets that can be easily earned through playing Dueling mode and completing daily challenges during the event. Entering a raid will cost a certain number of tickets according to the difficulty of the battle. Every damage done to raid bosses will count towards a final score that will be tallied for rewards across the event period. Higher difficulties and defeating raid bosses will award you with additional score multipliers at the end of the battle. Accumulate more raid score to unlock all of the exclusive card backs available during the event, along with new and more interesting awards that will come in future raids. This is our first beta raid event, so we will be carrying over a portion of the score earned into the next raid to award players for joining in and helping us innovate this mode and mechanic further. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41575826/4ceb12b39c24d87ece7d0dd9b96b04bb08858886.png The Bosses Three bosses have emerged from the shadows of the lost city with an eerie power surrounding them. This phenomenon is known as the Awakening where the inner power of one becomes unleashed, empowering them over time to unimaginable heights. Fight against Test Subject 41507 the Rabid Dog, Dila the Barbarian Axeman and Qian Shou the Living Legend in the ultimate arena. With an enormous pool of HP, the battle will be tough as a bad move may cost you the game if they gain an opportunity to burst you with combos. Additionally, as the battle progresses, a new perk that they gain is the Awakening, which allows them to draw additional cards and start turns with increased action points. There will come a point where the Legend herself will become unstoppable and that is the time to switch into your next champion to continue into the next round where their awakening will be reset and the opportunity for a comeback arises. Take your time to learn your own champion and others that you switch into to find a big combo and win the fight! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41575826/6f96b4b156cdf49f43b3f299f662b580bcb98eec.png What is next? This is Death or Glory’s first Early Access event raid, and we ar...EA 0.2.11 Roxxor enhancements and Upgraded Cards BalancingMay 20, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsEA 0.2.11 Patch Highlights Character Balancing - Roxxor playstyle enrichment and problematic upgraded cards balancing Character Balancing Roxxor the Giant Designed to be straightforward and simple to pilot, the idea behind Roxxor is to become the stat powerhouse of the game. With many cards in his deck having premium base stats, a simplistic resource system and an overwhelming punch, Roxxor is meant to be opposite of complex deck building like the A.T.A.C.R where a lot of cards are powerful but only when used inconjunction one with one another to create a synergy that makes 1 + 1 become larger than 2. We want Roxxor to be the counter for the setup decks, with a strong punch, he is less reliant on different mechanics, but is empowered by the mastery of the fundamentals behind attack and defense. However, this tends to lead to repetitive and predictable battles where after a few games and learning his cards, the opponent can quite easily guess the incoming moves and prepare for them. We feel like although Roxxor isn’t necessarily underpowered, the ceiling and potential of Roxxor is limited by his lack of variety and as a card game, will quickly become boring. We are adding in various abilities into his kit that whilst still focuses on the attack/defense trope, adds various new interactions that can make him more interesting to fight against. We are aware that these changes may at first seem to make Roxxor, stat wise a bit more powerful against most other characters, but we are optimistic to see how the format will change and adapt to a new powerhouse in the meta. A close eye will be kept on him to see how everything will settle in the coming weeks. Mountain Split Added card text : If your Momentum is 5 or greater, attack with Multi-Hit(2). Damage Stat : 12 > 11 Mountain Split X Text Change : Apply Trauma to your opponent. If the effect is already active, attack with Multi-Hit(2). Damage Stat : 12 > 11 Danger Brave Text Change : If an Attack card is in play, increase the block value of this card by 1 7 Strength Test X Text change : Apply Trauma to your opponent and you are granted Strength to Strength. Upgrade card balancing Upgrade cards was first introduced when we launched Adventure Mode, our PVE mode which focused on deck building and working with looted cards to challenge bosses in three maps that get more powerful the deeper you travel. At first, these cards were designed to be tools to match against powerful and at most instances, unfair boss characters that had crazy damage and single cards that wrecks your gameplan if you don’t prepare for them. This was why we introduced various mechanics that triggered on discard, which was a guaranteed benefit for a rare upgraded card slot that wouldnt be rendered useless when up against unfair bosses. This however changes when, PVP is into the equation. We are very happy with how the game has evolved with the introduction of upgraded cards that created many different strategies and deck builds that were...
