It is so exciting to have so many players playing SolForge Fusion! Big thanks for all your feedback—it’s been immensely helpful for our game development. For this update, we’ve smoothed out some gameplay mechanics, made the interface slicker, and squashed a few pesky bugs. Plus, we’ve cranked up the animation speed for quicker action. Exciting news: you can now snag digital deck codes in our web store. The in-app store should be ready in late May. Keep the insights coming, and enjoy the updates.

Deck and Player Experience:

• Earn Deck XP and Player XP from PvP games. (note that you can only earn XP on Decks that are not already at Max level. Try Forging new decks if you've hit max)
  
• You can now earn an additional four decks on the Player XP track from our second Set, the Battle for White Fang Pass. This now increases the total number of unlockable unique decks to 10 for all players.
  
  

Card Functionality Improvements:

• Cards can now be clicked for play instead of requiring a drag action.
  
• Done work on spell cards no longer get stuck floating on the screen when played too quickly.
  

Hive Mechanics:

• Hive Husk and Hivemind Pact functionalities confirmed.
  

User Interface Enhancements:

• Player XP track automatically scrolls to your current position.
  
• Forgeborn abilities now display as pop-ups at the start of a new cycle.
  
• The Forgeborn ability panel will now dismiss automatically after use. This update addresses issues with abilities that involve dragging cards from the discard or banish pile, such as Army Commander or Dark Summoning.
  
• PvE cards from upgrades show before you play them.
  
• Cards can be magnified on the level-up screen outside of the campaign.
  

Animation and Speed:

• Maximum animation speed has been increased, affecting both combat speed and stat changes.
  

Turn Timer Adjustment:

• Turn timer reduced from 3:00 to 2:30. Further adjustments to the turn timer are planned.
