[h2]NEW SEASON PASS[/h2]


[h2]NEW CARDS[/h2]


[h3]CHANGES[/h3]

• Made a verbosity level of CSAR a setting in the settings menu.
  
• Enabled Pinging for 1v1
  
• Enabled using /lfg /guild or /general to talk to specific channels in the chat.
  
• Added unready option to the lobby UI.
  
• Enabled moderators banning and muting players from the chat.
  
• In 2v2 random players will now only get bots as teammates when playing in Wood League.
  
• Removed Simulacrum from the pool of random cards available for Apep, Future cards, Blind Date cards ect.
  
• Changed the reward for reaching Contender League.
  
• Increased the limit on how many replays can be stored at the same time. And made sure that when overflow happens, the oldest replays are deleted first.
  
• Allowed the Android version of the game to use the “Notch” area around the front-facing camera. This should remove the black bar from the side of the screen. This is configurable in Android settings on the phone. But if it causes issues please let us know.
  

[h3]FIXES[/h3]

• Fixed compression issues with cards and avatars on the leaderboards for low quality settings.
  
• Fixed the game sending an incorrect error message when joining a lobby that had already been closed.
  
• Fixed visual issues in the Scrat World Arena
  
• Made card sorting consistent between all fields that use card sorting.
  
• Fixed search field in the collection menu searching only card titles and not descriptions.
  
• Fixed an issue where depth of field could make masters blurry in the customization selection menu.
  
• Fixed emote wheel having wrong labels for controller inputs.
  
• Fixed emotes becoming large and stuck in that state in the emote section of the customisation selection menu.
  
• Fixed button logic in the everything tab in the collection menu where it would try to add unowned cards to your current deck instead of letting you craft it.
  
• Removed the minimise deck lists button again. This time there should be a safety in place which prevents people from ending up in a state where it is just permanently minimised.
  
• Fixed an issue in the drafting flow where the UI would momentarily flicker and show wrong cards.
  
• Fixed multi-line pack names in the shop overlapping content details.
  
• Attempted another fix at the Chinese characters being highlighted.
  
• Fixed an incorrect error message when hitting cancel on the mobile app update screen.
  
• Fixed the mobile app update screen not showing decimals on the app update download progress indicator.
  
• Fixed profile level rewards showing greyed out before the player had a chance to obtain or claim them.
  
• Fixed relics not showing up in the Streamer UI
  
• Fixed multiple cases of ability cards getting stuck in hand. Please inform us if there are still cases of this going around.
  
• Fixed AIM Bot failing to enable the Tech counter.
  
• Fixed an issue where the anti-cheat would fail to complete properly, and thereby invalidate matches where it should have resolved the match correctly.
  
• Fixed an issue with ATG behaving incorrectly when attacking.
  
• Fixed Battle Shi-Hou not benefitting from his attack speed increase properly.
  
• Fixed Black Hole removing Huggers.
  
• Fixed Bladestar visuals being out of sync with the effects.
  
• Fixed Healing Fireball visuals being out of sync with the effects.
  
• Fixed Combustion targeting not taking unit width into account.
  
• Fixed Frostfeathers model breaking after having been frozen by Rimagaal
  
• Fixed Hellfire dealing no damage after TAAS has been destroyed.
  
• Fixed Holy Fire tooltip incorrectly indicating master damage.
  
• Fixed Wardancers occasionally being invisible.
  
• Fixed Korrrgoth occasionally hitting targets behind himself.
  
• Fixed the Leiliel’s Vortex relic effect not triggering the VFX properly.

• Fixed Stormtamer not properly interrupting attacks with the cyclone.
  
• Fixed R3KT losing One-Punch Blast when using Shadow Dance.
  
• Fixed the rarity of the Frostfang Familiar Avatar, it was incorrectly being displayed as common, but is in fact supreme.
  
• Fixed Resonating Blast Crystal not triggering master spell cast VFX.
  
• Fixed an issue where Rocket Scrat losing it’s target while mid-air could cause it to become stuck and untargetable.
  
• Fixed Ruby’s ability Main Cannon not properly highlighting targets.
  
• Fixed Simulacrum being permanently replaced when copying Adventuring Party.

As usual, our new DLC, Frostbite, will be free to redeem for one week.
But that's not all! We're also making three of our other best DLCs free to get during the same period!
Grab Minion Masters: Arise! Mountain Song and Zealous Inferno to pump up your existing deck or to give you a very good start if you are just starting your Minion Masters' journey.
If you want to support us, you can use this opportunity to also Wishlist our upcoming game: Project F4E. 

Dear Masters,

As you know, we've been stoked about bringing Minion Masters to mobile and are working hard to make it happen. However, we have some big changes to announce today.

[h3]BetaDwarf will now publish Minion Masters on mobile.[/h3]

Due to factors outside of our control, our mobile publishing partnership on Minion Masters ended before it got properly underway. We would like to be clear that, despite it being an obvious conclusion, the difficult start of the 2.0 prologue is not the reason for this. We have had a great partnership that we were very happy with while it lasted, and are parting ways amicably.

In better news, since we have now taken sole ownership of Minion Masters on mobile platforms, we have found a path that - in our opinion - provides an even better game. Since we are now free to make decisions previously closed to us, we will not only feature full cross-play between all platforms but ALSO cross-save between PC and mobile, something we were not in a position to do before.

Microsoft regulations make that quite difficult, unfortunately, so we will not initially support cross-save on Xbox. We hold out hope that we can down the line. 💪

We begin by releasing on Android, and if that goes well, we will explore an iOS release later.
We want to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you for your continued support and enthusiasm for Minion Masters.

[h3]Minion Masters Android is already available to all countries![/h3]
Search for “Minion Masters” on the Google Play Store!!

Last note: Due to some publishing issues, we were not able to beta-test the game as thoroughly as we wanted. Please let us know if you encounter any issues 🙏
