New Mech: The Goliath
The Goliath is an advanced Assault Mech built to be a powerful mobile artillery battery. With this unique starting load out, you will need careful planning and tactical foresight to blast your way to victory:
Mech Variants
Mech Variants allow us to add new play styles for existing Mechs. In this patch we are adding three new variants to check out: the Missile focused Dodo M, the Auger Analytic capable Behemoth A, and bristling with light weapon mounts, the Mantis L.
New Rewards and Event Type: Perks
The new Perk rewards can be found by defeating bosses, or through a new Event type. Perks can give your deck small advantages, activated abilities, or they can unlock new win conditions by adding new mechanics like overheat damage
Perks offer a wide array of new strategies for deck building. With over 50 new perks to find, there is a ton of new strategy and synergy to explore and discover.
New Cards
With so many new Mechs and new Perks to play with, we have also added several new cards to fill gaps in the play space. For example, Heavy Unguided Missiles adds a weak early game missile weapon, which scales to become very powerful in the late game.
New Token Type: Enhance Capsule
This versatile token serves a similar role as the Enhance tokens. However, instead of doubling the matching damage and block tokens, the new Enhance Capsule token allows you to double your cooling, heat, and fortify tokens.
End Of Run Stats
We've added a stats screen at the end of a run, so you can see what your journey looked like, and compare with friends.
Balance Changes
In light of the effect that Card Cycling has had on the Mech Shuffle meta, many cards with Card Draw tokens are having their cost reduced by 1. This buff should bring those cards back into use, since they will now be a more viable alternative to cycling cards. Some cards affected by this change include: Safety Override, Pilot Skill: Operations, and Pilot Skill: Running Hot.
And Plenty More!
We have also added new VFX to highlight which token will be doubled when a card is played, we fixed several bugs, buffed System: Missile Guidance to be a more appealing option for missile builds, and more.
Give the new build a try on October 4th, and let us know how we're doing by leaving a review!
