[h1]Hello Stormbounders! [/h1] A new version of Stormbound is coming early July, bringing new cards and balance changes! [u][olist] [*] Balance changes [*] New cards [*] FAQ[/olist][/u] [h2]BALANCE CHANGES[/h2] This release, just like any other, will bring some balance changes. [list] [*] Potion of Growth now grants 3/4/5/6/7 strength (up from 2/3/4/5/6). [*] Icicle Burst now deals 6/7/8/10/12 damage (down from 8/10/12/15/18). [*] Bladestorm now deals 1/2/3/4/5 damage (up from 1/2/2-3/3/4). [/list] [b]Nerf Compensation[/b] As usual, some compensation in the form of coins and fusion stones will be provided to owners of Icicle Burst, proportional to the level and rarity of the card. Find below the compensation values for each rarity and level. [u][b]Common card: [/b][/u]10 coins at level 2, 20 coins and 1 fusion stone at level 3, 50 coins and 2 fusion stones at level 4, 120 coins and 5 fusion stones at level 5. [h2]NEW CARDS[/h2] Two new cards are coming in July: a new epic Winter Dwarf Ancient, and a new rare Swarm Satyr Ancient whose true appearance will be revealed when the card comes out! [h3]Crystalshields[/h3] [url={STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32724087/78a8e53ea071d39e70b763c9b76507eda87a321e.png][img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32724087/2dccfeaaaba56a2a3fd509b9bb71aa2f1f9cee81.png[/img][/url] [list] [*] KINGDOM: Winter Pact [*] RARITY: Epic [*] UNIT TYPE: Dwarf Ancient [*] MANA: 6 [*] MOVEMENT: 1 [*] STRENGTH: 6/7/8/9/11 [*] ABILITY: Before moving, teleport to a random tile bordering your base. If successful, give 1/2/2/3/3 strength to your base [/list] [h3]Gathering Troupe[/h3] [url={STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32724087/5d38c50c494b304b0cb9716b67b0cbe13569aedf.png][img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32724087/f8ae08a340ced4d7a73da67ee15948bd8c750a3d.png[/img][/url] [list] [*] KINGDOM: Swarm of the East [*] RARITY: Rare [*] UNIT TYPE: Satyr Ancient [*] MANA: 4 [*] MOVEMENT: 1 [*] STRENGTH: 1/2/3/4/5 [*] ABILITY: Before moving, spawn a 1/2/3/4/5 strength Satyr on a random tile bordering your base [/list] As usual, there will be $9.99* exclusive packs for every new card. The Crystalshields pack will include 3 copies as well as 750 coins and 5 fusion stones. The Gathering Troupe pack will include 5 as well as 750 coins and 5 fusion stones. It's now possible to buy more than one exclusive pack each. [h2]NEW BRAWLS[/h2] Similar to what we did in the last months — we will introduce 2 new Brawl modifiers for the 2 new cards. We think it’s a good way for you to be able to try, play with and enjoy newly added cards before you start collecting them. Like last time, a 0-mana level 1 (unless owned and leveled) copy of the new card will be added to everyone’s deck (thus causing all decks to have 13 cards). [h2]FAQ[/h2] When is the update going to be released? The balance changes will be released with the season reset as usual, on July 1st. The 2 new cards as well as new brawls will be introduced later in July.
