Thank you to everyone who has purchased a copy of Usurper, we hope you are having a great time with the game! We have some early balance changes and bug fixes we would like to share with you. Our next patch after this will likely target AI improvements to make the single player modes more fun at all player skill levels.
- Balance Changes
- Vizier buff: Vizier moveset changed to be more offensively powerful (fewer movement tiles, more attack tiles)
- Lender's Gambit rework: New effect is "Your lowest cost card costs 1 less Power permanently" (old effect: "Your 1 cost cards cost 0 Power for one round.")
- Quality of Life changes
- Changed starting gambit to be based on reaching round 3 instead of beating round 3
- Added text tooltip to gambit panel indicating that you need to reach the boss to receive different options before round 1
- Added text tooltip to upgrade panel indicating that newly chosen upgrades overwrite previous tiles
- Added grey cover behind deck panel when viewing deck at the end of a run
- Deck Tutorials in Deck Selection screen can now be activated by preview button (right click or Y on xbox controller)

- Fixed bug where player would not appear in check when attacked by Ronin jump tiles
- Elite gambit and demoter's gambit no longer always promote lowest cost units

- Fixed UI bug where unlock panel for each card in Deck Creation would not fit to the size of the textbox
- Fixed UI bug where Power and Reserves color in opponent panel would sometimes mismatch in local multiplayer
