[h2]BALANCE CHANGES[/h2]

This release, just like any other, will bring some balance changes. A first batch on March 1st:

  • Siro the Resurrector’s mana cost is now 6 (down from 7) and strength is now 6/8/10/12/14 (down from 7/8/10/12/15).
  • Queen of Herds’ mana cost is now 6 (down from 7) and strength is now 6/8/10/10/12 (down from 8/10/12/12/14).
  • Temple of the Mind’s strength is now 5/6/7/8/9 (up from 3/4/5/6/7).


Then another batch on March 17th:

  • Temple of Life’s ability now can also spawn in a row in front, up to the furthest row.
  • Temple of Space now costs 0 mana when there is already a friendly copy on the board.
  • Plague Monarchs’ ability now considers Ancients and Toads.
  • Absorbing Varmints’ ability now considers Ancients and Rodents.
  • Orgone Leechers’ ability now considers Ancients and Frostlings.
  • Martyr Spongers’ ability now considers Ancients and Undead.



[h2]NEW CARDS[/h2]
Two new cards will be introduced in March: a new neutral Dwarf and a new neutral Knight.

[h3]Leafpatters[/h3]

  • KINGDOM: Neutral
  • RARITY: Common
  • UNIT TYPE: Dwarf
  • MANA: 5
  • MOVE: 2
  • STRENGTH: 2/3/4/5/6
  • ABILITY: When played with no surrounding friendly units, gain 4 strength.


[h3]Noble Vigilantes[/h3]

  • KINGDOM: Neutral
  • RARITY: Common
  • UNIT TYPE: Knight
  • MANA: 4
  • MOVE: 1
  • STRENGTH: 3/4/5/6/7
  • ABILITY: Before attacking a unit or structure, deal damage to it equal to the strength of the weakest friendly unit.


As usual, there will be $9.99 exclusive packs for every new card to get 10 copies as well as 750 coins and 5 fusion stones. It's now possible to buy more than one exclusive pack each.

[h2]NEW BRAWLS[/h2]
Similar to what we did in the last months — we will introduce 2 new Brawl modifiers for the 2 new cards. We think it’s a good way for you to be able to try, play with and enjoy newly added cards before you start collecting them.

Like last time, a 0-mana level 1 (unless owned and leveled) copy of the new card will be added to everyone’s deck (thus causing all decks to have 13 cards).


  • The Warrior Brawl starting on March 23rd will be for Leafpatters.
  • The Warrior Brawl starting on March 30th will be for Noble Vigilantes.


[h2]SAINT PATRICK’S DAY EVENT[/h2]
With Saint Patrick’s Day (March 17th) approaching quickly, we thought we’d do a small event to mark the occasion. During the Saint Patrick’s Day Event, there will be a coin bonus and ruby bonus, from March 17th till March 27th. Additionally, everyone who will log in to the game between March 17th and March 20th (8:00 AM CET) will receive a small gift of coin 200 coins.

The Brawl starting on March 16th (and only that one) is going to be cheaper. All fights will be 30% off. Owners of the Premium Pass will also have their usual discount applied, leading to a 40% reduction.

What’s more, there will be some generous Saint Patrick’s Day offers, each with a different avatar.



[h2]UPCOMING CHANGES[/h2]
Additionally, we’re working on some additional content changes, which will be, hopefully, introduced in the second half of March. Once these tweaks are ready to add, we will update the Patch Notes with details on them and announce them on Discord and our social media channels.


[h2]CARD USAGE DATA[/h2]
In case you missed it, you may be pleased to learn that we have started releasing card usage data in the form of per-league tier lists. This should give you a good idea of how popular certain cards are in a given league, or what are the top-cards on a per-league basis.

Note that we are currently experimenting with ways to adjust neutral cards’ presence. Right now they are disproportionately represented since they are in all types of decks. We hope to make them less prominent in the dataset in the near future.
