[h1]Hello Stormbounders! [/h1]
Hello, Stormbounders! A new version of Stormbound is coming in November, bringing new cards, balance changes, Halloween Event and some exclusive offers!
[h2]BALANCE CHANGES[/h2]
This release, just like any other, will bring some balance changes.
[list]
[*] Sparkly Kitties’ ability now also confuses another friendly unit.

[h2]NEW BRAWLS[/h2]
Similar to what we did in the last months — we will introduce new Brawl modifier for the new card. 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).
The Warrior Brawl starting on November 2nd will be for Wrinkled Foretopmen and is going to be cheaper. All fights will be 50% off. Owners of the Premium Pass will also have their usual discount applied, leading to a 60% reduction.

Moreover, as a part of the Halloween Event, we will introduce a special Brawl for this occasion: Spooky Pumpkin.
During this brawl, every dead enemy will spawn a Spooky Pumpkin structure that explodes under special conditions. The structure has 3/5/7 strength, depending on the Brawl difficulty.
[b]The following Brawls will be spooky:[/b]

[*] The Casual Brawl starting on November 2nd.
[*] The Warrior Brawl starting on November 9th.
[*] The Ultimate Brawl starting on November 16th.

[b]How does the Spooky Pumpkin ability work?[/b]
In that Brawl only, friendly Spooky Pumpkin spawn as enemy units die.
At the start of a turn, the first friendly Spooky Pumpkin on the board checks if there are at least 3 of them, and if there are, trigger its explosive ability.
Because all friendly Spooky Pumpkins end up being destroyed to deal damage to the enemy base, only the first one can use its ability. When it activates, all the others are destroyed.
What’s worth pointing out is that it possible to deal more than 3 damage to the base. Killing many units in one turn, and therefore spawning as many pumpkins, may result in explosive damage!
