Here is a detailed overview of the new changes in our latest update-

‍

‍

‍

New Dungeons

The Dungeons underneath Holdfast have grown darker and far more perilous, inviting you to descend through layered halls filled with escalating challenges, rare treasures and surprises.  

• Unlock these new Dungeons by completing Act 1 on Normal.
  ‍

Provisions & Backpack

Before entering a Dungeon, you will need to prepare what provisions you will take with you.  Bring Torches to guide the way and Camping Items to aid your Heroes’ recovery and relive Stress while resting at a Camp. Be wary, if you are defeated you will lose all items within your backpack.

Torches

Torches are now essential for navigating the Dungeon. Each torch ignites as you enter a new room, but its light steadily fades with every round of battle.

Once the flame burns out, the path grows far more perilous, and Stress begins to rise rapidly.

Stress

Each hero now gains Stress as they encounter various obstacles and enemies throughout the Dungeon.  

• A hero’s Stress can be reduced at Camp or treated in the Hospital.

Dungeon Tiers

Every time you complete a dungeon, you will make progress towards increasing its Tier.

• Difficulty and rewards scale with the Tier of the Dungeon.
  ‍

New Dungeon Chambers

Dungeon Chambers now represent how deep you can descend within the dungeons, with more challenging and limited-time dungeons found in the lower chambers.

‍

‍

Upper Chambers

Forlorn Hollow
‍

1 floor, Milita and Veteran only, limited provisions

‍

Descent of Dread
‍

2 floors, Heroes max level limited to 30

To access the next dungeon chamber, The Uncharted Crypt, players must collect Map Fragments

found throughout the previous dungeons.

Some dungeons will now have modifiers or requirements which will change each time you complete or retreat from a dungeon.

• Modifiers adjust the stats of heroes and enemies.

• Requirements restrict which hero types are permitted to enter that Dungeon.

• Earn Astrum by completing Acts in the Campaign.

• Use Astrum to invest in Star Nodes to increase specific statistics and gain powerful bonuses

‍

Dawnseeker Balance Changes

While Dawnseekers are meant to stand above non faction heroes, they had begun competing too closely with our more limited factions, prompting a needed adjustment to their power ratings.  

Although the power rating of these heroes has been reduced, their drop rates in Caravans and Dawnseeker Shard rewards have been increased to make them more obtainable.
