Content

• New green card, Alchemize. Description withheld for spoiler reasons.

• Two new weak encounters are added to the weak monster pool on level 1.

Balance

• For the 2 Orb Walker encounter they now attack left -> right.
• For the 3 Cultist encounter they now attack left -> right.
• Looter is moved from weak monster pool to regular monster pool (only appears after fighting 3 other 'weak' encounters on level 1)
• Now tracking win streaks and highscore (per character) in the backend.
• Offering card gets a minor change. HP Loss is now 4. Card draw upgrades from 3 -> 5.

• Cards within Bottles should now show up if they appear on a grid-based select screen (such as upgrade screen)
• Clarification for Normality. Per turn -> This turn.

Bug Fixes
