Do you have what it takes to survive? https://store.steampowered.com/app/1681840/Abalon/?utm_source=screamFest2023
This week I'd like to recognize Dusty, the first player to successfully clear Wave 24.
And here's a look at the custom deck used to win:
Congratulations, Dusty! Other notable champions include Jear, Scharlatan, Lykurgos, and PorkDiesel. Each player devised a unique strategy to defeat the horde.
Jear's army of super Ironclad soldiers.
Scharlatan's super-charged firepower strategy The v1.28.0 update adds an additional 6 waves to endless mode and a number of key balance changes. Who among you will be the first to survive the new waves in endless survival?
[olist]6 New Waves added to Endless Survival and a new Steam Achievement for clearing Wave 30.
New Rule For Survival Mode: "Units summoned from non-unit cards and abilities do not persist between waves.
Added new rules for Combos: Combos don't trigger Inflict and Units can only combo once per turn.
Vigil units may combo unlimited number of times per turn.
Created new status icon to show that unit has combo attacked. It appears in the same slot as the cannot attack icon. If the unit has used their combo and can still attack, youll see the combo used icon. If you have exhausted your attack, the cannot attack icon will replace the combo used icon (since you cannot combo if you cannot attack).
Balance: Mating Season now draws 2 cards instead of 3.
Balance: Liche King now raises a 1/1 Skeleton instead of a 1/1 Skeleton with Block when defeating an enemy with attack
Balance: Raise Dead and Your Soul Is Mine now place a Mind Control effect on the revived unit so that it can be recovered by the owning player by using buff removal spells and abilities.
Balance: Sojurns Double Strike will no longer trigger a second strike for combos.
Balance: The harpoon attack used by ClikClik, Gladiator and Ninjas now treats the second attack as a combo, meaning that it will deal half damage (rounded up) - unless the character has vigil - and will no longer trigger inflict abilities.
Balance: Titus, Gladiator gains Vigil ability.
Balance: Preservers healing reduced from 4 to 3.
Balance: Sojurns defender ability changed from Prevent 2 damage from attacks on surrounding ally units. To Prevent 2 damage from non-triggered physical attacks on surrounding ally units.
Balance: Kroxs Gravity pull ability changed from Farshot to Sprintshot.
Balance: Krox gains the Vigil ability.
Balance: Reduced Muses buff from +3/+3 to +2/+2
Balance: Forcefields created by the Auramancer are now removed if the Auramancer is removed from the board.
Balance: Sir Cheezles, Chronomancer gains Lunge and Support: Remove debuffs.
Balance: Occuloid no longer deals friendly fire damage. Melee attack power reduced from 5 to 4.
Fixed Bug: where the cost discount granted from units like Spriggan and Preserver would be removed again from the owning player when they are defeated while mind controlled by opponent, resulting in spells costing higher than their original casting cost.
Fixed Bug: where spells that apply a cost discount like Resurgence, Meditate and Time Warp would continue to add cumulative discounts each time the spell was returned to hand. (Thanks mr.kitty)
Fixed Bug: where Sojurns defender ability would trigger on surrounding ranged units when they attack.
Fixed Bug: Units that throw harpoons (Mantis, Ninja, Gladiator) afflicted by the Weaken spell can no longer combo on pull.
AI Improvement: AI makes better assessments on the value of farshot attacks.
AI Improvement: AI makes better assessments on the value of using sprintshot attacks.

Abalon (formerly Summoners Fate) is a roguelike adventure that fuses tactical turn-based combat and card strategy. You're tasked with the challenge of guiding your heroes through perilous quests in search of hidden secrets, powerful cards, titanious team members, and mutated rabbits.
The world of Abalon is inspired by traditional tabletop environments, stretching from its frozen peaks to barren deserts and colorful woodland to dingy dungeons. Each world offers its own characters to find, mysteries to unravel and bosses to slay.
Abalon draws its inspiration from classic tabletop games like Hero Quest, Dungeons and Dragons, and Magic: The Gathering, combining tactical combat with thoughtful events decided with the trusty roll of a D20. Exploring Abalon is done in real-time, allowing you to uncover lore scrolls, shop for powerful cards and even attend a goblin's birthday party (don't forget your gold).
Combat brings Abalon into a turn-based game where unit positioning is as important as your spell casting. These tense encounters play out in arena-style maps where the environment isn't just for show, it's a key part of the battlefield. Equip powerful armor from a statue mid-fight. Slam your foes into a wall of spikes. Transform a tree behind enemy lines into an allied fighter. How you control the battlefield is your choice.
In between the DnD style events and slaying of enemies you'll be collecting cards, lots of cards. Every Summoner is linked to two classes, including Arcane, Celestial, Nature, Void, and Chaos. These classes offer different playstyles: Chaos contains a lot of fire AOE spells for big damage whereas Arcane provides the ability to mind-control your enemies.
Your deck in Abalon is capped at 20 cards, so you can collect all the cards you like knowing they won't hinder your current build. If you wish to change your playstyle halfway through your adventure then simply roast some marshmallows on the campfire and chat with the Cosmic Tortoise.
Abalon offers an ever-changing adventure so it's important to adapt to the situation. The Battle Mode allows you to build a constructed deck from the cards you have discovered during your adventures. Bringing this deck, along with two allied units you can test your might against the toughest of foes!
- 5 Worlds to explore, each with its own events, characters, and bosses
- 20 Summoners to guide through an adventure, each offering unique abilities for you to master
- Over 50 characters to meet through world events, all of which can join your adventure
- Over 400 cards you can collect on your quest to build the perfect deck
- PvE Battle mode, the perfect arena to master your favorite Summoner
