The Deities Update

Update 1.0.7 is now live! It includes 21 deities with unique abilities to help you on your journey. This patch also allows creature stacking, adds status effect numbers, and more. Thank you to all beta testers who helped making sure the update is as stable as possible.

Now onto the list of changes:

Additions

• Added deity selection where you can unlock deities to be in your deck from the beginning

• Added 21 unique modifiers for deities (these are not in the regular lacrima pool)

• Added new UI for starting a run, including deity selection (thanks auri, renderpunk, laddwick for additional input)

• Added new UI for the main game (thanks to auri, Lyfeu, renderpunk, Jessie81 for their additional input)

• Added Deities to Collection (thanks Legendary_Pups)

• Added Anubis as a deity for the contest winner maadneet (card illustration by Lyfeu)

• Added Undo button: You can now press undo after cards played and after pressing "End Turn" (it costs gold, and cost increases with each use)

• Added a deity with an ability to invert buffs (Divert) (thanks Wanderbot)

• Added new curses, bosses, blessings, and demons

• Added new background for shop

• Added status effect numbers directly below the status symbols

Gameplay Adjustments

• Creatures can now be stacked on your own lanes (you can play a creature on top of another)

• Replaced Charmed with Confusion: Confused creatures attack adjacent creatures randomly, but do not "change allegiance", and you can still move them around.

• Immunity on bosses has been changed: Immune to Fracture, Debuffs and Clear Buff, as well as 75% damage reduction. Immunity still wears off after 1, 2, and 3 rounds (depending on the current chapter).

• There are now always a minimum of 3 lanes starting chapter 2 (even if there are only two enemies)

• Skipping Sacrifice now slightly increases Despair

• Summons are now limited to being alive for a maximum of 10 turns, this includes mirrored creatures (thanks Tinraug)

• Damage taken is now triggered after damage has been taken (thanks to the anonymous people pointing this out)

• Changed Resist so that it reduces 1 stack per resisted Debuff, in addition to reducing 1 per turn. (thanks arifmeticus)

• Rest: Repairing your deck is now always an additional 4th option (thanks MeanRev)

• Playing endless mode no longer counts as a loss and doesn't interrupt win streak

• When an ally card is flipped face down, you can now play a card on top of it

• Trigger "Gold gained" now only activates during fights (thanks renderpunk)

• You can now sell cards that you just bought in a shop (thanks Legendary_Pups)

• Battlelog can now be scrolled

• Removed Ambush from the lacrima pool

• Endless mode is now no longer available in the demo

• When Favor casts Shield, it now triggers "Shielded"

UI/UX Adjustments

• You can now hold left stick on a controller in a direction to keep moving the "cursor"

• Improved handling of save files (players have reported corrupted save files - this update should help with that)

• Improved descriptions for Poison, Parasite, Regen, Charm, Apathy, Resist (thanks MeanRev)

• Stores now show whether a lacrima is mastered (thanks Legendary_Pups)

• Middle mouse click no longer ends a turn, instead you can play creature cards from hand with it (if there are empty lanes)

• Holding down left mouse click on a card for 1.5 seconds or more makes it not be selected when let go (thanks JordanC)
