  • Gameplay
  • Balance
changedIn addition to the addition of trading cards, we recently did a major update to the game that rebalances a number of things in the gameplay to hopefully make the game flow smoother. Specifically...
addedGenerally lower enemy HP (minimal to no change early on, around 30% less Max HP by the end of the game) A few enemies now have lower base power but larger power increases per turn. This should make battles with many all-target enemies more manageable as long as you don't take too long. XP rewards from defeating non-boss enemies has been noticeably increased. 50% more XP given when fighting additional battles after a dungeon is cleared to make it easier for people who want to grind. Fewer battles required to clear out a dungeon (No change in dungeons that required 10 battles, all other dungeons have their battle count dropped by 5). Random encounters trigger a little less frequently. New buff that causes a character to use ailment power instead of power for damaging abilities. This buff has been added to the Chicken Feed & the Necronomicon abilities (they retain their existing effects as well). This should open up new combo possibilities and also gives Baba more damage dealing options besides her poison & unite abilities.
addedHope everyone enjoys the changes & the new trading cards!
