What’s Next: Relic Nodes

We’re introducing a new type of reward: Relic Nodes.

• Instead of XP or cards, these encounters grant run-changing abilities

The first comes from the B&B Brothers:

• Your heroes are linked by shared life

• They only fall when both are down

• As long as one survives, the other can return

Next Update

Relic Nodes will expand with new elite encounters:

• Harvester Widow

• Scarecrow

• B&B Brothers (updated reward)

• Each encounter brings a different relic

• New ways to shape your run and tactics
