We’ve heard you and are making significant improvements to card acquisition.
We hope this set of changes lets players develop their collections more quickly, level up more cards, and have greater agency which cards they use in a deck, how they grow their collection, and which cards they upgrade.
Pulling a standard card cost reduced from 125 chroma to 40 chroma.
Increased drop rate of legendary/epic cards
Combination of ~3x more cards and increased drop rate of rarer cards means for a similar level of spend/engagement, you’ll see:
~12x increase in epic cards
~18x increase in legendary cards
Upgrading cards is cheaper at all levels. The reduction in cost is greatest at lower levels.
IE: 1->2 is much cheaper than before, and had a greater reduction in cost than 6->7.

Substantially increased the number of card pulls acquired per day through quest completion.
Royal Mark cost reduced on cards in store:
Common 1250 -> 400
Rare 5,000 -> 2,750
Epic 50,000 -> 8,500
Changed rewards for quests to better match how difficult that quest is to complete.
Simplified how shards work: 1 Shard = 1 pull from the corresponding loot pool.
Elemental Shards: 1 pull from any faction’s loot pool. Flexibility at its finest!
Standard Shards: 1 pull from the standard loot pool.
Radiant Shards: 1 pull from the premium loot pool for the best rewards.
Faction Coins: 1 pull from the loot pool that corresponds with that faction.
(Example: Steelsinger Coins let you pull from the red loot pool—perfect for honing your faction strategy!)
Currency Conversion: Don’t worry—your existing currencies will automatically adjust to match these new systems.
First Time User Experience Changes:
A new single tutorial mission replaces the existing 4 mission tutorial series.
