changedGameplayScroll reward options: Instead of receiving a random Scroll, you now select between two options. Giving the player more control over Scroll rewards will allow us to design more situational Scrolls.

changedGameplayDiscard an existing Scroll : If all Scroll slots are full, you can discard an existing Scroll to make room for it. Preventing players from receiving rewards was just mean, and this gives you an opportunity to pivot away from Scrolls you haven’t found useful.

addedGameplayReset your turn at any time before the next turn : Turn reset is now available until Minions spawn for the next turn, so you can use it after your Champions move and while the Astrals are responding.

addedGameplaySummons : Seraph has 3 new skills, one for each role. As part of these changes, Moment of Peace has been reworked.

removedGameplayBug fixes : The feedback form is now separate from the options menu, so its input no longer conflicts with options menu input. Hovering a Champion in the team building screen no longer changes the displayed details.
