Hello Heretics!
In this update we’re introducing a new character bringing an entirely new mechanic to the realm of Heretic’s Fork, we’re also adding a new selection of cards some will be unlocked via promotions and some will be granted through challenges, more information below.
❓ Gilbo Gibbins joins the action
Are you ready to press your luck? Spin the wheel and find out! 👺
🎲 New Gamble mechanic : Gilbo's Ability
Scaling off the amount of luck you have you can increase your chances of getting a legendary, thus reducing your chances of destroying your cards (not banish). Other than that you can duplicate, make the cards free, randomize them (but keep the same rarity) or turn them to Legendary cards (Tier 5) if applicable or random ones if not applicable.
🪦 Postal Dude Gets Hired
We got a letter in the mail from DUDE begging to get a job so, as a variant for John Fenriz, INTRODUCING THE POSTAL DUDE! You can find out what he does in-game 😉
