Battle Bands Update 1.2
You're listening to Riff Radio, brought to you by Rod's Lightning Rods "Shockingly good value!", located in downtown Riff City right next to Shady Steve's!
[h3]Update 1.2 has a few new things for you all, including a new highly requested feature tied to Milestones and Prestige Levels called Endorsements, a "new" card for the Keyboardist, 4 new moments and a bunch of card changes.[/h3]
[h2]New Feature: Endorsements[/h2]
Endorsements are a way for you to alter your starting deck(s) at the beginning of each Tour.
Check them out and let us know if there are any Endorsements you would want to see in a future update!
[h2]New Moments[/h2]
There are 4 new moments to find as well. Some of which give you new ways to use the "Rubber Duck" gear.
[h2]Card Balance & Changes[/h2]
Grand Hook card added to Keyboardist deck.
Previously, we had two achievements tied to beating or losing to us developers and players ranked Legend in Royale Mode. This has been updated so players can be additionally granted this achievement through winning or losing to an Iconic Band (Gold plated name) in Royale Mode.
Removed upgrade Warm, replaced with Furious (Adds 1 Fingers Furious Keys to Graveyard on Play)
Aggressive Upgrade now gives only 1 Broken Things to random opponents hand instead of 2.
Thank you to our Discord community for all the thoughtful feedback, these changes are the direct result of your support. Special shoutout to Nar for the card-balance-brain-dump and compilation!
