Some of the new Wizards didn’t have the Supporter Pack Outfit yet, which a lot of you pointed out! But as a special thank you for the support we’ve gotten, we wanted to add something extra. While we love the rough, sketchy look of the black-and-white outfits, they don’t look the fanciest. And sometimes, you just want to look fancy. And what’s fancier than a pure, 100% gold outfit?



So if you have the Supporter Pack already, you will get the Sketchy outfits for the newly added Wizards, as well as an additional Golden outfit for each Wizard released so far - all for free! Your support means the world to us, as it allows us to keep improving and expanding on the game. So thank you all!

Thank you thank you thank you!

Happy Spring Sale!

Hey everyone! Update 8 is live! Yes, we’re simply calling it Update 8 now (mindblowing, right?). All those numbers and dots were too confusing for some of the devs. The next updates will be called Update 9, 10, 11, and so on. Nice and simple.

Let’s go over some of the highlights! Or you can just scroll down for the patch notes of course.

[h3]🐥Another Wizard🐥[/h3]

The Spell Brigade welcomes the eleventh Wizard to their ranks! Her name is Maggie, and she uses her bird-like features to spot pickups from far away. She also has her own Spell called Aurora Wings, which casts mystic birds across the battlefield that pick off targets one by one.

[h3]🎖️Wizard Traits & Ranks🎖️[/h3]

As requested by many, we have reworked and rebalanced each Wizard’s stats and effects. You’ll find that every Wizard has some new attributes, making them more unique and fit a specific role within a team. Reginald is lucky, Aldric is a healer (occasionally), Kavin is… very Kavin. I won’t get into specifics here but you can find the specific traits in the Patch Notes. And in the game, obviously.

[h3]☝️Single Spell Mode☝️[/h3]

A third Covenant! Activate Solitary Focus to only play with your Starter Spell and crank it up to the max, turning it into the most legendary Spell ever. Who needs more Spells anyway?
