SolForge Fusion News

We have a smaller but important update as we have a collection of individual card bug fixes!

Bug Fixes

• Slay keyword now should not trigger from destroying your own creatures.
  
• Elementalist Knights exalted ability triggers correctly.
  
• Duplication Dome level 3 should now target the creature with the deploy effect and not itself when gaining buffs.
  
• Spiteful creatures will now target the opposing creature when destroyed.
  
• Cypien Experimentation now plays a gizmo when upgraded.
  
• Hantu, the Restless now says which creature is being reanimated when the player is making the choice to take damage or have the creature reanimate.
  
• If both players have a card that transforms, playing their card will only transform their creature/exalt.
  
• Effects like Necrotic creatures that let you play up to one creature when it is destroyed will let you say no and not play the creature.
  
• Web should now blank passive abilities (card text is not blanked though when right clicked).
  
• Korok - Deep Burn should successfully stop enemy players from healing.
  
• Blighted Ironbeard - Shield Slam (unfortunately still the wrong name) now deals excess damage to the enemy player.
  
• Blighted Ironbeard - Alloyin Steel (unfortunately still the wrong name) should now deal damage to the opposing creature.
  

Known Bug

• For effects like Necrotic, if you say no, visually the creature card will stay in front of your hand until you undo an action. This is a visual bug and you still can play cards from your hand.
  

Potions!

Potions are a new type of consumable you can use during a campaign run. They will give you a one-time bonus for the next encounter you face. Currently, you can receive the following potions:

• Health Potion: You start your next encounter with +25 Health.
  
• Strength Potion: All creatures in your deck have +3 Attack for the next encounter.
  
• Speed Potion: All creatures in your deck have Aggressive for the next encounter.
  

Potions can be earned through the Player XP Rewards Track, or be purchased either in the Store or during a campaign run. Additional potions may be added over time.

In-game currency - Gold!

Gold can now be earned through the rewards on the Player XP Rewards Track and can be used either to purchase additional potions or new Phantom Decks from the Store. You can also purchase additional potions directly from your campaign.

Potions will cost players 300 gold, while a new Phantom Deck will cost 500 gold.

Players will see their total gold on the game’s main screen, within the Player XP Rewards Track, and within the Store.

Additional ways to earn gold will be coming soon!

[h2]Getting to Know the SolForge Fusion Website[/h2]

• You can read more of the lore of SolForge Fusion in our story section.
  
• You can check out every card in SolForge Fusion on our card database.
• You can find digital and live events for SolForge Fusion on our events page.
  

Gameplay

• Matchmaking will attempt to match you to players closer to your level. We have now implemented a matchmaking system to track your wins with specific decks and queues you closer to players with similar deck elo.
  
• Cannot undo after Crux Cobalt’s Mind Over Matter or Determined Choice (These reveal new information to the player).
  
• Reduced XP thresholds for first 2 decks on Player XP Track to 500xp and 5000xp.
  
• New user flow updates - New users can access the settings when they first open the game and after the tutorial when the user presses play they will be put into the campaign
  
• We have removed the first encounter's passive abilities in the campaign. These are all the forgeborn encounters. We want these first encounters to be an easy start to the campaign and at this moment the average win rate between these encounters is 71%. We are looking for this to be closer to 90%. So as a first change we are just removing these extra abilities and making them closer to a regular game of SolForge Fusion.

• Uttera Charger's Horn: At the start of combat, one of your creatures Battles an enemy creature.
  

UI

• Collection, Deck Select, and Fuse Decks load in pages rather than showing all decks at once. (Should make collection management for large collections less laggy)
