Patch v2.32

Reva - w1 - dmg 3->2, now "fades" after hitting something and can now be caught Flamberge back to single hit Frost dmg no longer shield-able Not doing anymore balance changes for a while so don't complain, thanks. Added a yellow diamond icon for playing gauntlet for the first time Bugfixes: 2nd part of pyroblast can no longer be countered Starfield hitbox is now properly delayed by 2f Lobby browser no longer shows matches above lvl 10 for players under lvl 10 and vice versa (unless it's a custom lobby)

Patch v2.31 Hotfix

Bugfixes: Fixed a bug where mortar spells might not get countered (mostly in the tutorial) Fixed a bug where ranked rating might get messed up with joining custom lobbies Fixed counter tutorial Can no longer join ranked lobbies before lvl 15 in browser Can now properly leave replays mid-game Mine travel time properly increased to 56f+4f startup Diag beam and other lerping projectiles no longer disappear when dodged on creation

Patch v2.30

Neera - w1 - cooldown 40f->44f Neera - w2 - total travel time 20f->22f, recovery 18f->20f active frames 6f->1f (active frames were accidentally too long, it left an empty gap and made the hitbox linger longer than intended especially since blocking summons still cause a hit now) Reva - w1 - dmg 2->3, now destroyed on hit, adjusted visuals, added a visual for cooldown ending (it was confusing when the opponent could walk through after being hit) Crackroots - dmg 2->3, recovery 28f->24f Combust - dmg 7->8 DiagBeam - dmg 3->4, shots 3->2, now travels about 10% slower Flamberge - now half hit instead of single hit Guillotine - dmg bonus changed to +6 when 20hp or less. added crit sound Mine - total travel time 50f->56f (it felt a bit weird allowing shopkeeper to combo into the landing of the mine which should be used for setplay, now there is a bit of a mixup involved or at least more spells required from SK) TurretLux - hp 8->10, laser dmg 11->12 Cataclysm - increased hitbox height to reduce stepping through vertically, shot interval 4f->3f, dmg back to 5->6 Eruption - dmg 10->12 GolfBomb - dmg 1->3, explosion dmg 9->10, travel time 16f->18f, recovery 16f->18f Starfield - travel time 12f->14f, added warning vfx, now counterable while traveling WreckingBall - recovery 18f->22f Most mortar spells - 4f of travel time moved to startup (so they are counterable for the first 3 frames) Mortar spells no longer get countered if the hitbox will spawn Crack/Break Changes: Damaged tiles will now scales with number of damaged tiles while there are more than 4 damaged tiles on a side of the field (20% faster restore per damaged tile over 4) Broken tiles now have up to 25% of their duration reduced based on how long the tile was cracked for before being broken. These changes should help make playing against Break decks feel more interactive. Playing around a few Broken tiles is cool, having your field constantly broken can get annoying. Ideally this results in the Breaker's mana running out + the tiles being restored faster, so there are more times where you have an unbroken field. I don't think Break is too strong at the moment and I wanna keep it's overall power level in roughly the same spot. Frost - dmg and stun is now shieldable (stun amount will be half of FrostStun duration (36f->18f), like how shieldstun is normally half of Stun duration (24f->12f)) QoL: Leave Button for Ranked/Unrated will now "forfeit" the game instead of "disconnecting" (you can still leave with no penalty for the first 5 in-game seconds of the match) Added an option to offer a Draw which will end the game with no results for either player Added shadows to a bunch of mortar spells Adjusted Dreadwyrm w1 vfx to be higher up again, now have slight shadows Added weapon/subweapon prompts to RevaBot weapon sparring tutorial Adjusted shopkeeper w2 vfx Can now look at ranked info while searching for match Changed "Custom" button to "Lobbies" Added warning circle for Zenith Can now hover over rank info button and it will animate size a bit Lowered auto-disconnect match threshold Loser rating inflation now scales from rating 300->2000 (with 25% inflation at 300 and 0% inflation at 2000) Added frame data for startup and mid for step spells, recovery might come later Shield bar now restores + half max shield after shield break stun is over instead of when shieldbreak happens Bugfixes: Mark damage now triggers the deflect animation, smoothed out end of mark vfx timer Fixed a bug where local deck would use player 1 deck Step slashes no longer get stuck in training mode with quick shuffle Fixed locked lobby name after change Y Axis closest tile calculations were off by 0.1f, making sacrifire shoot on the wrong tile sometimes Local matches no longer show jitter Sacrifire will no longer mess up in previews and possibly replays Match found should no longer appear against self or empty players? Maybe. Fixed a bug where dodges would not get canceled if hit with status damage Fixed a queue where ratings would sometimes get mixed up between queues, possibly. If you run into it just dm me on discord and I can reset it for you. Ties no longer show default 24HP in replay history Can no longer join unrated/ranked lobbies with invalid deck Can now navigate to copy deck buttons in replay history

[ 2024-03-27 19:27:38 CET ] [ Original post ]

Patch v2.29

Bugfixes: Fixed a bug where turrets would keep shooting after death Fixed a bug where training queue would not resume if cancelled Training mode no longer restarts sometimes when stepping back Running from pinned taskbar should now startup properly Fixed some lobby issues Keyword tips should no longer cover decklists Lobby refresh time actually increased now

Patch v2.28

Thank You for 500 Reviews: Added a thank you banner and title on login for the next couple weeks. You guys are awesome! Hazel w2 - widened hitbox to match other wave spells Cataclysm - dmg 6->5 Jackhammer - shots 6->5 Reaper - dmg 7->8 Snowfall - changed to hit in a small column, shots 3->1, dmg 2->4 Transmute - dmg 7->8 QoL: Can now recast spells while they are still ongoing, they will just stop and restart when casted again. (Notably affects Monsoon) Added palette names to character info screen Peak rating is now shown on rank info screen (Peak rating tracking starts now, sorry if it's late!) May swap leaderboard to use this later on. Improved quality of japanese characters and added support for more text symbols Slightly reduced rating loss multiplier (finally, inflation.) Battle loading panel now shows flags Slightly darkened ice bg Ties now give slightly more rating Bugfixes: Fixed a bug where buffered inputs would sometimes not be cleared Fixed a bug where Frost damage wasn't stunning at the end of Shields Deflecting Frost damage should work properly now Replays should now save for spectators Battle loading banner no longer flipped for opponent Fixed an issue with distance filter sometimes not working for custom lobby list

Patch v2.27

Fixed a bug where summons could not be teleported

Patch v2.26

Fixed a bug where Harissa could teleport to the enemy field

Patch v2.25

Features: Added random title box to the shop, this is basically for after you buy everything in the shop. I'll probably add a bunch more titles later on! (there's like 50? now, collect them all! lol. no please dont. then I have to add more...) Added Autosave Replays option to settings. Replays can still be saved if they are favorited on the victory screen. QoL: Reduced last played opponent cooldowns to 180s for matches and 120s for plays Cancel match found in training is now a hold to press Bugfixes: Input history now accounts for swapped sides, and shows held inputs separately Trying to join a no longer existing lobby ends more gracefully Fixed a bug where teleporting would stop shield or freeze player on opponents field Expanded mid rating range Blank lobbies should no longer show up in browser Fixed jitter icon color

Patch v2.24

Teleport bugfix

Patch v2.23

Lowered rank rating thresholds to better match player distribution Upper rating for matchmaking 800->1100 Slightly lowered rating change scaling per match Reverted dreadwyrm's beam visual Bugfixes: Teleport spells no longer occasionally causes movements top stop Fullscreen display now grays resolution text instead of display text Sorry about all the teleport issues. It arose from me trying to fix the stuttery movement when a moving target was teleported, but there were a lot of niche cases I missed!

**Patch v2.22** Dreadwyrm - adjusted vfx to make it more obvious what rows her weapons are hitting Barricade - health 6->9 (this should help it last a little bit longer for trap plays) HydroPump - mana cost 1->0 (might not even be worth 0 mana) Jackhammer - shots 4->6 (didn't update with some recent crack/break changes) ScatterSpear - tiles 4->3 (I'll try to buff spear in some other way soon) Toxicross - spear gain 2->1 Features: Added Custom Lobby Browser (includes ranked and unrated lobbies)
Other: Added palette sets Neon A (char lvl 45), Low Bit (char lvl 55), Pal Swap (shop). Order is now char lvl 65 reward. QoL: Added Hazel and scrolling to patch notes screen More loading tips! Finding a custom lobby with a version mismatch will now show a popup Added max rollback setting to custom lobbies, you can try setting this to high if there is a bad connection Slightly reduced the travel time for diagonal movements. (Notably affects AutoSlash and ShadowShift) Polished icons for Dark Matter, Eruption, Seize, Shear, Skewer, Slowball, Snowfall, Starfield, Scatterspear, Hew, MechWrench, StepLance, StepLanceX, Strangle, SummonTurretLux, SummonTurretSentry, SwallowSpear, TailWind, Tetra, Transmute, Tremor, Triple Barrel, Twinferno, Ultrangle, Venoshock, Vine Pull, Vine Whip, Vortex, WreckingBall, StepBlaze Added support for korean letters Rematch same matched opponent time 60s->360s Rematch same opponent time 60s->180s Bugfixes: Teleporting a target will now stop their movement (removing some visual stutters) Queen's chess seekers no longer activate player weapons or hit opponents Ultrangle visual no longer plays twice Fixed some depth calculations for missiles Ultrangle warning dot now shows on top of claw trap Can no longer right click deck cases to drag May have fixed a bug where music wouldn't play on some matches Client leaving will now properly send a disconnect message Local binding profiles will no longer affect UI nav Local binding profiles shouldn't override default bindings as much, i'll have to keep working on this Fixed icon flickering when multiple spells were countered Fixed replay duration being inaccurate Steam buttons on victory will now update properly for custom matches

**Patch v2.21** AcidRain - dmg 4->3 (it covers a lot of area, and was a little too punishing to be caught in for beginners) Align - startup 11f->13f, recovery 20f->22f (it was a little too unreactable in some cases) BackSlash - dash distance 1->2 tiles, total coverage still increased by 1 tile (this makes it a bit slower and harder to hit) Barricade - recovery 17f->20f, dmg 6->3 (this spell was meant to be used more for blocking/trapping opponents than landing a hit with, opponents should still not want to walk into it though) Cataclysm - recovery 18f->22f Fadeaway - recovery 12f->14f Glitter - now has half hit (bugfix) KineticWave - recovery 24f->26f (just a little bit slower to use in the front column for free) Lockdown - recovery 20f->26f (this was powerful enough where it could use a bit longer recovery) SpearWave - projectile speed 8->7 (this is now in-line with Unleash) Eruption - no longer Breaks Cracked tiles on enemy side (it could be more oppressive and too much for a 1 mana spell) Inverter - now teleports target based on their closest tile (should be more consistent now) StepSpells - step in movement time increased by 1 frame (steps were still a little bit too fast for how much area they cover) Added vfx for step spells for destination and return Frost damage/stun no longer goes through Deflect QoL: Added ConnectionPriority option under Game Settings. This will prioritize connection at the expense of finding less matches if set to High. (If you're in a populated region but getting laggy matches this setting should help, but it's still a wip) Adjusted Twinferno icon Rewards icons now have a slight glow animation Replays now change side depending on preference Cardtridges can now be mouse hovered over in Replays! Less shuffle noises in tutorial Adjusted evade missiles tutorial to use a Stinger based spell Selicy starter deck - ColdMedicine->AutoSlash, Zenith->PushSlash Terra starter deck - Earthquake->Align Bugfixes: Fixed poison meter on bot hp bar Offline mode should be functional again Brightened difficulty stars on char select Previews not wait longer if they contain a summon AcidRain was still hitting multiple times per wave* it's fixed now for real Fixed difficulty text anchor on character info screen Disconnecting from the custom lobby during a match will no longer return to a bugged screen Search and A-Z order in Japanese should function properly now Harissa starter now uses harissa sleeve Tsunami, KineticWave, Sewture - hitbox duration 12f->13f (to fix a bug where it could be stepped through) Harissa's w2 remix - now single hit per target Dodging late during a step in spell no longer refunds mana Leaderboard flags fixed

Reva - w1 Ricoshield - cooldown 100f->106f (this is just to make it appear less like there are two on field at the same time) SnowCone - can now only hit a target once per "wave" (max 3 hits per target), this is something I've been intending to do, the technology just didn't exist yet Slowball - changed shot vfx Tweaked starter decks: Terra - Flurry->Tsunami Shiso - Kunai->Minigun, ShadowShift->DimensionSword Dreadwyrm - ScatterSpear->ClawTrap, SlowBall->SpearWave QoL: Replay file names now include player names and use start datetime instead of end datetime Adjusted Autoslash icon color Adjusted deckbuilder counter to show min cards until over min ShowPlayerNames option now cycles between Both, MineOnly, OpponentOnly, None Renamed "Custom Profiles" to "Keybind Profiles" in local lobby for clarity Added a ShowCountryFlag to show country flag or continent icon for more privacy Bugfixes: Keybinds will now update in online matches if you are client and using controller!

Adjusted rank elo values to: 0, // Iron 600, // Bronze 800, // Silver 1100, // Gold 1500, // Platinum 2000, // Diamond 2600 // Master Bugfixes: Fixed replay preview durations When at exact rank bounds, proper rank will display Closing the pause menu in battle will no longer cast a spell assigned to the same button Fixed some issues with cancelling matchfound Default in local mode now follows hold move setting in settings Bot name will no longer show Test2 Instant recovery spells like Inverter no longer cancel the recovery of spells cast right after Fixed some Gauntlet ui issues

Barricade - hitbox duration 1f->3f SummonCrevasse - startup 5f-9f, hitbox duration 1f->3f These are mostly to match the new visual and for consistency Multi-keyboard is now supported in a beta branch "multi-keyboard" Regional pricing should now be set for latin america. (Sorry for the delay) Matchmaking: Increased delay before matching with larger rating gap Rating pools changed to match player pool's current ratings (this should mean you get matched with closer rated players more often) Rating minimum changed from 500->300 QoL: Adjusted beam crystal sprite to show direction better Improved ice summoning visuals Adjusted mini dialogue box sizing in tutorial Play SFX on unfocused now defaults to Off to prevent confusion Polished Neera's weapon sfx/vfx Slightly reduced size of Flame vfx Last OutOfStun Action now saved in training mode Bugfixes: Achievements should now unlock mid-game instead of at end of game "Rewards complete" text changed to "More rewards coming soon" Profile reward preview will now display properly!
