Greetings, War Mages!

This patch is focused on addressing the most common player feedback we receive. We’ve read concerns about trap damage versus player damage, and this balance pass allows players to get more traps into the battle.

We’ve also noticed some scenarios were trending too difficult in Rift Lord difficulty level and in certain Endless maps. We’ve made those fights a little fairer for the player. We hope to see improved scores and skull rewards in these areas.

Finally, we’ve added three maps to Endless mode, and we’ve fixed a host of rare but annoying crashes.
Please see the detailed patch notes below. Thanks for playing! We’ll be reading your feedback.
