Patch Notes 1.3 | 4-7-2020 [h2]--Systems--[/h2] Boss rewards will now also give a rare+ Spell choice Boss rewards will now give a rare+ Artifact choice I've gotten a lot of feedback saying boss kills didn't feel rewarding enough. I agree, getting a common artifact felt pretty meh. Hopefully this not only feels better, but also open up new synergies to explore since they're some of the more powerful items! New Shuffle time addition: 0.1s (max 1s) Every time you shuffle in a battle, the total shuffle time will be increased by 0.1s, up to a cap of 1s. This makes decks that blaze through their all their cards a bit less good, but shouldn't feel too noticeable or bad in general. For reference, default shuffle time is 2.5s. The shield decay change also makes this addition less punishing. Removed 0.01s shuffle increase per card This should help counteract the new multiplier in some cases Deck size mana regen now stops after 0.3 mana regen or (15) cards. I've turned the later markers into counters, to help keep track of the size of your deck when the deck gets too large. The markers have all also been moved down by 1, so you just need to hit the marker to activate the bonus mana regen rather than pass it. Frost 3 Stacks Damage: 100->150 I've had some reports of Frost being underwhelming and I agree it's one of the weaker synergies without artifacts. I'm buffing the damage from it to be more rewarding. Shield decay on shuffle moved to end of shuffle Shield decay on end of shuffle: 25%->40% I've decided to move shield decay on shuffle to when your shuffle is finished so that playing a shield card as your last card doesn't feel so bad. Also you won't be as defenseless while shuffling. The shield decay was increased to 40% to de-incentivize stacking too much shield as a "safe" play, I think this is do-able now that shield is less of a necessity to get through mid-late game. The combination of these should keep shield in a decent spot for both small and large decks. [h2]--Spells--[/h2] Doublecasting Flow cards will now trigger Flow on the second cast as well as give extra Flow Stacks Align Mana: 1->0 Blade Rain Will no longer land on broken tiles Blink Shield: 10->20 Double Tap Anchor: Yes->No Damage: 100->120 Fate Shield: Hitbox height: 9->3 Horizontal spawn: 0->-1 Projectile speed: 35->30 This should give fateshield more versatility and use cases rather than only being used with step spells Glaive Targets: Other->Enemies This was sometimes killing hostages which felt bad and did not match the description. Health Catch Mana: 2->1 Hockey Duration: 3->5 Damage: 20->40 Increasing the duration and damage to make this worth 3 mana and reward good placement Kunai Damage: 40->30 Fixed some cases where kunais could miss Kunais could push out a bit too much damage for being 0 cost with no anchor. They should still be powerful with artifacts and spell power! Mana Steal Damage: 100->120 Meditate Trinity: 0->1 Pull Damage: 0->1 Ragnarok Damage: 300->350 Skipper Brand: Miseri->Kinesys Warpath Damage: 80->120 [h2]--Artifacts--[/h2] Duct Tape Shield Decay: 15%->30% Elysium Chance: 25%->50% Rarity: 0->1 Transcendence Shield: 800->1000 Changed description to match effect Uranium Spell Power: 10->8 Can now hit through shield but will not kill [h2]--Characters--[/h2] Selicy Default Snow Piercer (Weapon) Dmg per Frost stack: 60->80 We increased the damage per Frost stack on target to keep up with the Frost damage buff. Update: We'll keep it at 1 mana and leave it to the player to learn since she was really strong. I'll try to find a better balance moving forward. Shopkeeper Money lowered for certain Hell Passes Violette Back (Shield): Set Shield to 60 if below 60. Should make it less necessary to "spam" but still be pretty strong. [h2]--Enemies--[/h2] Projectile speed lowered for a few high tier enemy types Quarreling (Snake) has new red wings for increased visibility Limit number of Reva's summons, they should also fire less frequently now Bosses will now gain Defense equal to half their tier [h2]--Other--[/h2] Violette will now say guiding dialogue before and after attacking to players who have not followed her music path attack Pets are immune to more status effects Increase time before focusing reward cards Lower volume of enemy death explosion Lowered audio from previews Enemy loop delays will now update constantly, in-case enemies are added or removed Soulfire will no longer increase damage from the preview Add some additional enemy sets A max number will show up when maxed out on unlock levels Quality of Life - Added a separate binding for "Outfit" button Hold to remove Artifacts Set world Tier numbering to start at "1" instead of "0" Defense will show up as an icon below enemies and bosses Luck +1 for each "None" Focus Violette's music path warnings are notes again but green, hopefully this is fine with the dialogue You can eject cards you don't have enough max mana for by spending 1 mana (by casting them) [h2]--Bugfixes--[/h2] Major - Fixed the Bravely Default achievement for real!
