Patch Notes #49

New Art

• Hungry Gnarbek now has art!

Hero Changes

+ Juro

• Card text changed to “Ability (2): Dash up to two tiles, dealing 1 damage to enemies passed through. Transform into a Primal.”
• Primal card text changed to “Ability (2): Dash up to two tiles, dealing 1 damage to enemies passed through. Transform back to Juro.”

Card Changes

+ Astral Champion

• Health increased to 6, up from 2.
• Now only gains bonus Attack based on the cost of the card it draws, instead of both Attack and Health.

+ Cannibal

• Bloodtoll effect changed to dealing 3 damage to an ally, instead of destroying a friendly minion.

+ Disciple of Almast

• Card text changed to “Your hero ability becomes Chosen Blessing.” (Note: this is so that Disciple of Almast’s effect can now now be granted to Heroes other than Vardan, in case of a clone or in Blame the Deck or whatever).

+ Rook

• Attack bonus lasts for a full round, up from just the turn it moved.

+ Spirit Binder

• Card text changed to “Warcry: Bond to an enemy minion, while either are bound, neither can act.” (Note: Now uses the Bond keyword and mechanics - cases that previously ended Spirit Binder’s effect, such as Canal or Stone Prison, no longer end it).

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a bug where cloned Moons or Stars (from Puppeteer or Echo of Light) would not recombine when next to each other.
• Raptor Class Mech and Storm Class Mech now have their correct keywords.
• Fixed a rare bug with Hadrien where Hadrien would take an incorrect amount of damage when protecting an ally with splash.
• Fixed a bug where the displayed ability cost for Chosen Blessing, the ability granted by Disciple of Almast, was 0 instead of 2.
• Fixed a bug where units that can move through enemy units (Wraith, Baffling Presence) would display the yellow attack highlight in some cases where they did not have a valid attack target.
