New: Community Cards


Twelve new cards designed by the community join the card pool!

Thank you to everyone who submitted designs, and congratulations to all the winners!

On top of the design contest winners, we also gave our playtesters a new round of designs. Discover all of them in patch 1.19.005!

Balance Changes

  • Palantir: Foretell no longer counts Focus twice. It’s now durability + Focus, so it Foretells fewer cards at high Focus.
  • Ominous Chant: now inflicts Fear equal to your highest Mantra stack.
  • Monster card and enchantment pools: Disguise Self, Bottled Message, Baku’s Domain and Grimoire/Book of Thieves no longer give purely negative monster cards (17 cards excluded, e.g. Terror and Snared).

Bug Fixes

  • “Whenever you inflict” effects (e.g. Avatar of Blight) now trigger when your enchantments inflict statuses on the enemy’s turn (Spin the Web, Caltrops, Barbed Snares).
  • Unimpressed: your Bolster now stops Fear on the enemy’s turn.
  • Banner of Elsmyr via Conquer: a card being played from the deck can no longer also be drawn into your hand.
  • Echo: now skips Unique cards and echoes the next card. Before, it stopped echoing entirely.
  • Arboreal Forms: form-shift cards now shift correctly, and Form of the Maple can be reached from cat actions.
  • Endless Arsenal: no longer gives a permanent Grounded Basic Attack.
  • Bat Familiar (via Familiar Weapon): no longer adds a permanent copy each time it Depletes.
  • Quicksand / Evasion copies: now respect the hand limit.
  • Shrine of Trickery: its corrupted cards now count toward Corrupted and corruption counts.
  • Veiled: no longer stays on cards after a basic-attack swap (Broodwarden, Burden of Veils).
  • Effects that remove a random enchantment can now remove any enchantment, including the last one.
  • Spine of Night: fixed a rare issue where the Spine could die the moment it spawned.
  • Events that offer a random card by category, keyword or rarity can now pick any eligible card, including the last one.
  • Events that start a fight with a random enemy from the area can now pick any enemy from the area.

Card text

  • Poison Immunity and Bleeding Immunity only list their own immunity.
  • Infect says the Pustules go to the discard pile.
  • The Taurus’ Rage III description now uses the correct talent name, Mark of Taurus.

Other

  • Credits updated: added Jonathan Swartz (Narrative Design), DjLeChuck (French) and spanner1130 (Chinese).
  • The enemy ability Stampede has been renamed Overrun so it doesn’t clash with the new community card. Its effect is unchanged.

Interface & Platforms

  • The deck counter now turns red when your hand is full.
  • Fixed run history uploads failing on mobile devices.
  • Fixed some Steam achievements not unlocking.
  • Improved keyboard and controller prompts on Google Play Games for PC.
  • Signing out of Unity Cloud now offers to unlink your Apple, Google Play or Steam account.

Softlocks and stability

  • No more softlock when discard damage (Shurikens, Anyform Claw) kills a boss stage. This also fixes Alacar & Cerivys and Selandris’ final form.
  • No more softlock after combats started from dialogue (Dawnbringer, the save-the-hunter screen in Thornwind Pass).
  • Fixed Palantir activation and the weekly challenge setup (special basics no longer block it).
  • An archived run now saves correctly after a loss.

Visuals, UI and text

  • Enemy limbs and wings now fade out on death (Spiteful Fae, Nexus Drowner and others).
  • The action history sidebar can be toggled again on the 29 Nexus of Nightmares monsters.
  • Legendary equipment (e.g. Crown of Unity) shows a readable type plate.
  • Forgiving Grace and Sanguinaria no longer glow green all the time.
  • Dialogue no longer breaks when you click quickly, and choice buttons no longer appear after an unintended delay.
  • The bounty and achievement toast is now announced by the screen reader.

Localization

  • Major French translation update.
  • Major Simplified Chinese translation update.
  • Translations added for all new community cards across every language.
  • The Empty Vault (A Failed Dawn) dialogue is now available in all eight languages.
  • Added localized titles for 123 dialogues, and fixed stale and broken dialogue translations (Lord Vesparin in Portuguese, Sinister Statue in German).
