  • Enemies can no longer spawn on dead-end tiles surrounded by 3 walls

UI

  • Move statuses to right side of screen
  • New icon for soul surge bar
  • Clearer Soul Orb tooltip (explains filling the Soul Meter and soul surging for energy and shuffles)

Balance

  • Changed Intriped to "Gain 1 shuffle. Scout a tile. If it's an enemy, draft an intrepid cards" (previously drafted 2 intrepid cards instead of 1)
  • Rage now costs 2 energy and has effect "Your next attack deals +3 damage" (previously +2 damage and costed 1 energy)
  • Change the tutorial rewards cards so first run isn't as overpowered
  • Buffed 2 bosses:
    • Winter now summons 3 blizzards at a time instead of 2 (and at higher corruption, every 7 turns instead of every 5)
    • Grug the Lazy marks his first area after 6 turns instead of 7 (at higher corruption: after 5 turns, and gives +3 power instead of +2)

  • Enemies that move to guard tiles, like Chug & Mug, gain the vigilant status that prevents them from being able to be ambushed
