– Visual effects will now appear on the hand or screen when certain artifacts are activated.

[h3]Bug Fixes[/h3]

• Fixed an issue where the mouse cursor would disappear after switching from the reward UI to the stage info UI and back.
  
• Fixed an issue where the movement speed effect could not be reapplied to a unit.
  

We’ll keep improving Forest Heroes leading up to the official July release.
Thank you for your continued support!

Changes to 15-Curse
The previous 15-Curse increased only enemy ATK, which didn’t reflect the unique characteristics of each stage.
Now, enemy Spikes, Poison, and other mechanics will also increase to better reflect each stage’s identity.

macOS Support
We now support macOS! Although it has passed internal testing, please let us know if you encounter any bugs.

Changes
• Shooter Marten: New effect
• Ballista Tortoise: Exclusive artifact effect changed
• Woodpecker: Now recovers HP equal to ATK
• Hipe Hopes: Cost increased
• Encouraging Feather: Cost increased

Bug Fixes
• Fixed an issue where curse-related stat boosts were not properly applied to “created” enemies
• Fixed an issue where the curse effect that increases shop prices didn’t stack correctly with the artifact “Club”
• Fixed an issue in the “Rowdy Cave” event where artifacts like “Picnic Basket” did not refresh properly when units were removed or re-recruited
• Fixed an issue where the artifact “Cracked Egg” did not trigger correctly with the Relentless Elf’s “Thrifty Hunting” skill

Hello, this is Hoochoo Game Studios.

New - The Relentless Elf

A new elf joins the battle to protect Noctful Forest.
Once a bird, she was shot by a hunter and died—but was resurrected as an elf with the help of other elves. She then found the hunter who shot her and made him her pet.



Her companion hunter, “Tom”, supports the battle using a unique mechanic called Bullet.



The Relentless Elf takes flight from Tom’s head and dominates the battlefield. Cast powerful spells directly above enemies, and guide Tom’s bullets to high-priority targets.



Rework - Pit of Betrayal

Pit of Betrayal has been reworked to provide stronger effects.

Balance Changes

• Puberty Monkey: Decreased ATK and HP
• Mute Swan: Decreased Evasion
• Ballista Tortoise: Fewer hits required, increased cost
• Battle Reindeer: Effect changed
• Entangled Spikes: Cost decreased

Improvements

• Encyclopedia “Allies” tab now displays ally-only artifacts.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed issue where artifacts triggered “at the end of combat” may not work on Stage 1
• Fixed issue where stages could not start if deck had fewer than 4 cards
