[p]The wait is almost over! Lost Arsenal is coming tomorrow to all players on Steam! [/p][p][/p][p]In this update, players will unearth new rare equipment and spell cards along with other long-lost magical relics. Lost Arsenal expands your deckbuilding possibilities with new strategies, bold risk-reward options, and powerful cards across all clans. [/p][p][/p][p]In this last preview before Lost Arsenal’s launch, we’re revealing two new cards: the long forgotten Stasis Crystal, along with a spell from the Pyreborne playbook, Smelted Treasure.[/p][p][/p][h3]Stasis Crystal - Clanless[/h3][p][/p][p]Effect:[/p]

• [p]Grants Stasis[/p]
• [p]Resolve: Gain +20 Attack and +20 Health while under Stasis[/p]
• [p]Ability: Emerge[/p]

[p]A powerful new addition to the Clanless card pool, Stasis Crystal is a rare equipment card that offers +20 Attack and +20 Heart to the equipped unit at the end of each turn but only while under Stasis. Every three turns, you can use the ability Emerge, which removes Stasis and allows you to utilize the sweet, sweet gains you’ve been stacking each turn.

This card rewards long-term investment and careful planning. Combine Stasis Crystal with a unit to turn them  into the ultimate tank, opening up a new dimension of tactical play during combat.[/p][p][/p][h3]Smelted Treasure - Pyreborne[/h3][p][/p][p]Effect:[/p]

• [p]Spend 50 Gold.[/p]
• [p]Apply Armor 50 to a friendly unit.
  [/p]

[p]Trade riches for resilience with Smelted Treasure, a rare Pyreborne spell that turns your extra gold into the ultimate armor machine. For just a little bit of coin (ok, well, a lot of coin), this card grants 50 Armor to a friendly unit. That’s enough to completely turn the tides on a floor’s outcome or save a priority unit from certain doom.

This card is perfect for all you players who love to hoard gold as much as the Pyreborne do.Turn your resources into wins with Smelted Treasure. The only question is, do you spend your gold now or wait for a bigger payoff later?[/p][p]Lost Arsenal is coming soon!

[p]Hi, everyone! I’m ShinyCami, the Community Manager here at Shiny Shoe. I hope you are as excited as I am for the launch of Lost Arsenal, which is going live in two days on September 10th! This content-packed update opens the vaults of forgotten relics and long lost spells, adding new cards to the Monster Train 2 deck.

In this preview, you’ll learn all about two powerful new cards you’ll be able to add to your arsenal: the Dusk Mantle of the Luna Coven and Lazarus League’s new Spell Card, Mix-A-Lot.[/p][h3]

Dusk Mantle – Luna Coven[/h3][p][/p][p]Effect: During New Moon, grant Titanskin 5[/p][p]The Luna Coven continues to expand their lunar toolkit with Dusk Mantle, a powerful rare equipment that rewards working with the moon phases. When used in conjunction with New Moon, Dusk Mantle grants the equipped unit Titanskin 5. This is on top of the +10HP just for equipping the unit with this card.

This rare Equipment Card is all about lunar manipulation. Combine it with a card that can change the lunar phases at will and you can swing the tide of a battle in your favor as your units shrug off hits that would normally defeat them.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]Mix-a-lot – Lazarus League[/h3][p][/p][p] Effect: MIX 5 times.[/p][p]The next step of the Lazarus League’s ‘Mix’ mechanic, Mix-a-lot offers a high reward in return for a bit of chaos. An expensive Spell Card with a cost of 3 Ember, this rare Lazarus League spell triggers Mix 5 times each time it is cast. Only thing, each infusion is randomly selected. [/p][p][/p][p]See the full collection of Lazarus League Mix Spell Cards below![/p][p][/p][p]Ideal for decks that thrive on volatility or for players that enjoy walking the razor’s edge of risk versus reward, Mix-a-lot can offer a bit of extra thrilling chaos to combat. [/p][p]These are just two of the 15 brand new cards that will be included in Lost Arsenal. Stay tuned for tomorrow’s card reveal and for the launch announcement on September 10th which will contain the full patch notes. [/p][p]As always, thank you so much for supporting us and for playing Monster Train 2!
