Version 0.19: Meet Irialandradayamorella!

Welcome to BATTLECON ONLINE version 0.19.0 Released on December 19, 2018

NEW RELEASES

New Fighter: Iri

A Magical Girl from Space who transforms into 3 different forms to adapt to any situation! Available in the in-game store for 450 BattleCOINs (or 1500 Runes). Season 2 Pass holders have automatically received this new fighter.

FEATURES AND MAJOR UPDATES

Avatar Shop

A new section of the shop is open! The Avatar Shop lets you buy different avatars to customize your profile and show your style! Simply click the Avatars tab in the shop to see what you can buy.

Tooltips

Keywords and effects are now explained in-game. This should make it easier to remember what everything does. Just mouse-over the cards in-game to see their tooltips.

BALANCE CHANGES

Burman

Blistering: Now has 1 Power, from 2
Dragonbreath: Now has 1 Power, from 0. Now has "Start: You may spend 2 Firepower to deal 2 life loss the first time opponent Advances this beat." instead of its previous On Hit
Dragon's Descent: Now has 7 Power, from 8. Now has 1 Priority, from 2

This should flatten Burman's power curve somewhat rather than just making him constantly rely on Blistering as the key trading/beat-winning tool. In return, Dragonbreath becomes a lot more favorable at midrange while also giving him a powerful tool to punish predictable advances..

Magdelina

UA: Now loses Trance equal to Level when leveling up (or hitting Level
Cap), instead of all Trance

One really awkward thing about Magdelina was that Blessing was often useless for gaining Trance, because she would lose the bonus counter if it was used too close to her leveling up. This should open up a lot more opportunities for her to play Blessing during the game. Her actual level up rate is unchanged, outside of Blessing situations.

Kimbhe

Expulsion: Now specifies Staff -may- be moved to -unoccupied- space.
Quake: Stun guard to 3 from 4

Right now, Expulsion Caster and Expulsion Dodge make it too easy for Kimbhe to regain her Staff, essentially wiping out a lot of potential staff control the opponent could play. This should make her work a bit harder to get that constant +2 Power, and limit her ability to easily close games with Quickening's +4 Priority.

Sarafina

Tactical: Now has Hit: You may spend 2 Force for +1 Power
Locus: Now has Start: If the opponent is on your Projection, Gain 2 Force and Pull 1
Field: Now has Hit: Gain 2 Force in addition to immobilizing opponent
Hollow: Now has Damage: Gain 1 Force
Silver: Now has -1 Power, +1 Priority
Fulminating Vortex: Now has 7 Power, from 8
Ritherwhyte Infusion: Now has Hit: Gain 2 Life

Tactical, despite having good stats, tended to be underwhelming. Part of this is the amount of power wrapped up in Silver/Implosion at the moment, and part of it is the fact Sarafina never really went in for big damage spikes. These changes give her more resources to play with in terms of cashing out Force for Power as a way to get riskier, more interesting damage as well as generally tapping up her power level.

Seven

Cold: Now has +0~1 Range
Remote: Now has After: Advance up to 1

These should make Seven's early-game a little less rough, given how risky her Ranges tend to be at the moment (how easily she can lock herself out of being able to hit). Heated was way better than Cold, so this should help Cold look a bit better in comparison too!

First released as a tabletop game in 2012, BattleCON has gained a worldwide following for top-notch character design, beautiful presentation, and crunchy conflict-driven gameplay. Put your skills to the test with friends and rivals from around the world in the official online adaptation of this tabletop classic!

In this deeply strategic, full-information battle card game, you will choose your fighter from a diverse roster of spell-slinging duelists, tag-teaming werewolves, time-traveling boxers, dimensional knights, and more! Each fighter brings their own unique sub-system to combat, and comes with their own complete kit–no deck building or collecting necessary! As with any fighting game, the fighters have fixed skill sets. Knowing and mastering the interactions between your abilities and your opponents' skills is key to victory.

Weave together the elements, set traps, mutate your cards—the possibilities are endless!

With each update, we introduce new fighters and improved playability and balance. We implement new fighters every few weeks. Many of these are favorites from the classic BattleCON Board Game, but others are brand new and exclusive to BattleCON Online!

As in popular battle arena games, you can play fighters on a free rotation, or have them forever for a one-time purchase with in-game or real-world currency. We also offer Season Passes that allow you to acquire new fighters automatically, and daily quests and events to help you earn gold and unlock new fighters.

BattleCON Online gives you all the control of the tabletop edition of BattleCON, with a fully managed digital platform. The game includes animations, voiceovers, alternate costumes, and the latest balance patches and tournament rulesets. You can even watch replays and challenge friends directly!
