Wands News

With the recent release of our major update 1.4 - Sanctum of Sahir we've since then been hard at work improving on the feedback we've received, not to mention all the extensive QA we've done internally.

Today we're happy to share that we've just now pushed out a new update to all our supported platforms that will vastly improve overall experience. Make sure you update to 1.4.0.2 as soon as possible.

As always, there might be a bit of a delay before you're given the option to update on some of our platforms.

Full patch notes below. See you in The Beyond.

• Our new arena Sanctum of Sahir should now offer a much more smooth experience across all devices
• Reduced the difficulty of Survival mode

New features

• We’ve rebuilt the whole Workshop from the ground up, making it more spacious, streamlining the functionality of the various stations, and adding a bunch of other improvements
  
• As part of the rebuild of the workshop, we’ve gone ahead and added a short tutorial to help new players get started with the basics of the game
  
• A new arena has been discovered in The Beyond: Sanctum of Sahir. This map features 3 separate sections that the duel will progress through as a sandstorm and deadly poison sweep across the map. The battle begins outside a grand temple and ends within the burial chamber of a long forgotten king
• New wand: Scarab of Sahir
  
• You will now receive Spell Tokens for every level between 2-20, and 1 as part of the new game introduction. This will allow you to have every spell unlocked at level 20. Additionally, you will now gain 100 dust for the first match you play every day, the first match you win every day, and for every level beyond 20
  
• The mask and outfit cosmetic items from before 1.4 have been replaced with 10 new unique characters. PLEASE NOTE: With the release of 1.4 all of the items in your inventory will be converted to the amount of dust it would have cost to craft them previously. That dust can be immediately spent to unlock the new items available in the workshop. If you had everything before 1.4 you will be able to unlock all of the new content with the update
  
• New animations, including new casting animations and a unique animation for each character
• Improved UX when unlocking spells and items

  • Who doesn't love banners? Based on your ranking the current season you will see your banner evolve, and evolve they will! We've been hard at work designing some very beautiful banners.
