HEART of CROWN Online News

Greetings to all the influential figures of the empire!

Starting from 10:00 AM (JST) on May 16th, we will be updating the supply and ROM.

[h2]Details on the Second Wave of Beta Cards – Northern Enchantress Second Edition[/h2]


As with the first wave, all four cards in the second beta wave of Northern Enchantress – Second Edition are reprints from the original Northern Enchantress. However, Elven Sniper and Cait Sith have received effect adjustments.

Notably, Cait Sith can now potentially offer 2 draws for just 2 cost, depending on the situation. This makes it a fun and highly versatile card—capable of creating powerful combos with other cards and even serving as a counter to a variety of attack strategies.

Dwarven Jeweler and Industrial City have been implemented with their original effects intact, as we determined their abilities still hold up well in the current environment.
However, since this is still a testing phase, please note that these effects may be revised before the official release.

In the May 16 supply rotation, we will introduce eight new supplies, each containing at least one of these four cards.
As with the previous beta wave, we encourage you to play extensively and share your feedback and impressions—they're a vital part of refining the expansion!
