[h2]Details of the 1st Anniversary Update[/h2]

[h3]New Single-Player Mode Noble Mode Implemented[/h3]

In this mode, you must choose one “noblesse oblige” after each victory.
As you take on more obligations, the difficulty of winning increases—challenging you to see how far you can go while bearing ever greater burdens.

There are over 30 types of noblesse oblige, and the ones presented to you will be chosen at random.
Because of this, you'll need to adapt your strategy based on your existing obligations—testing both your decision-making and adaptability with every match.

[h3]Beta Implementation Schedule and First Wave of Cards for the New Expansion: Northern Enchantress Second Edition[/h3]
As announced in the recent news, here is the beta implementation schedule for Northern Enchantress Second Edition.
Cards will be added in sets of four at a time, with a new set replacing the previous one approximately once per month, over several phases.

Please note that this beta phase also serves as a testing period—card effects may be adjusted before the official release. Thank you for your understanding.


The following four cards will be included in the first wave of the beta implementation.
All of them are reprints from the original Northern Enchantress expansion, and their effects remain the same as in the initial release.
These powerful cards were selected to evaluate whether they still hold up well in the Second Edition environment.

In the April 25 supply rotation, we plan to introduce eight new supplies, each containing at least one of these four cards.
New supplies will continue to be added weekly, so we hope you’ll enjoy playing and we’d love to hear your feedback!
