Arcane Showdown News

A new version is here!

[h2]New Features[/h2]
[h3]Guardians[/h3]

• Guardians are mighty pets that you can take with you to the dueling grounds. Each Guardian has its own unique Passive benefit and Active ability.
  
• The Passive benefit is effective throughout the duel and gives mages significant advantages such as gaining 1 Mana each time Enchant finishes.
  
• The Active ability charges slowly over time but increases its pace when you defeat your opponent's minions, destroy Statues, or lose Statues. Once your Guardian is charged and ready, summon it to unleash some of the strongest minions known to the world of Concordia.
  
• Each Guardian has a different charging speed and while some might take longer to charge, their abilities will make up for it.

[h3]Locksmith[/h3]

• Tired of unlocking just one chest at a time? The Goblin Locksmith is here to help. Hire a Locksmith to unlock TWO chests simultaneously!

[h3]Premade Deck Events[/h3]

• The Archmage has crafted new decks including a combination of cards, Runes, and Guardians. Try them in future Premade Deck Events.

[h3]Mage Scrolls[/h3]

• These magical scrolls provide daily claimable rewards!
  
• The New Mage Rewards was renamed Mage Scroll.
