Our first update is primarily about improving the experience for new players and making it easier for players to connect to each other as we start growing the community. Features

• When searching in Quickmatch, there is now an option to practice against AI while waiting.
  • Any rewards earned in the practice match will be added on to the online match results.
• Survival now supports join in progress. Games set to Public will remain visible in the game browser while in progress.
  • Players that join late will have their Maximum Energy set to that of the host so they won't be behind.

• The Glyph Structural Shock has been added to the Starter Deck to improve its ability to deal with turtle tactics.
  • A copy of this Glyph will be added to your collection if you don't already have one.
• Shock Tower: The turret's Skill damage has been reduced from 300 to 200.
• All Turrets now have a short warmup time in between first detecting an enemy and firing, allowing the attacker a better chance to target Glyphs against turret nests.
• In Survival, the number of enemy gates is reduced on Easy and Normal difficulty, so there are fewer directions that need to be defended.

• Fixed a bug that caused the AI to use certain Tech Glyphs incorrectly.
• Fixed a bug that caused a drop in performance in Daedalus on some systems when units with swords were onscreen in large number.
• Fixed a case where updating a previously set control group via Ctrl-[number] wouldn't work properly.
