EA Update 14: Challenges Are Here!

Hi everyone!

The next big update is now live! Let's go over all the changes:

🐉 The Dragonswipe's Hoard: Introducing Challenges!

After many rumors, the nest of the feared Dragonswipe has finally been unearthed. This greedy beast commands a shady dragonfly gang with only one goal in mind: your precious gold coins!

Your first encounter with these scoundrels will probably be the deceptively adorable Dimeonflies. These creatures use their harmless appearance to lure adventurers into trusting them and... running off with their money!

For those who feel ripped off, there is only one option: venture deep into the Monarch Grove and face the leader itself: the Dragonswipe. Among its treasure hoard, you will notice a few relics to aid you during battle... if you follow their respective challenges, of course. Who knows, maybe you'll be able to keep them at the end?

But you might be wondering: what are challenges exactly? Challenges are rules you can follow during battle in order to receive certain rewards afterward. Once the Dragonswipe is defeated, more than 30 challenges will start appearing during battles. They're optional, but completing them will certainly give you an advantage during your time in the dungeon!
