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

‍

‍
‍

New Hero: The Ninja

A new Chaos-aligned Hero is available for a limited time through the New Hero Event. The Ninja brings three distinct subclasses, each with a unique combat identity built around using Energy to enhance her abilities.

‍

Energy

Along with the Ninja, we have introduced a new mechanic, Energy. Which is used to empower abilities and perks with every kill and attack.

‍

The Ninja gains Energy in the following ways-

• At the start of each of the Ninja's turns.

• When the Ninja performs a basic attack.

• When the Ninja lands a kill.

• When a teammate lands a kill.
  ‍

When the Ninja uses an ability, all accumulated Energy is spent. The higher her Energy at the moment of use, the more powerful the effect.

‍

‍Storm Weaver (Subclass A)

A precision striker who unleashes storms of shuriken from the shadows, building relentless pressure through rapid follow-up strikes.

• Shuriken Storm: Summons a storm of blades that follows up basic attacks and retaliations based on current Energy.

• Echo Strike: Triggers a burst of damage after every third hit, including basic attacks, retaliations, and backstabs.

• Iron Veil: Raises a protective barrier that absorbs incoming damage and blocks negative effects.

‍
Crescent Blade (Subclass B)

A crowd-clearing menace who sends ricocheting blades tearing through clustered enemies, combining bouncing area damage, bleed pressure, and caltrop traps to dominate busy battlefields.

• Fragment Storm: Throws a large chakram that damages enemies and ricochets between nearby targets. Higher Energy increases the number of bounces.

• Rending Arc: Gives basic attacks and abilities a chance to apply bleed, adding pressure over time to advancing enemies.

• Iron Caltrops: Spreads caltrops across nearby tiles, damaging and pinning enemies who step on them.

Nightshade (Subclass C)

A lethal duelist who strikes from the blind spot, chains kills against low health targets and vanishes before the enemy can respond.

• Deathstrike: Moves the Ninja behind a target for a strike with execution potential. Higher Energy raises the threshold and can chain into another low health enemy after a kill.

• Twin Fang: Adds a second strike after every backstab, increasing burst damage on every successful rear attack.

• Vanish: The Ninja vanishes at turn end, making her unable to be directly targeted until her next action.

Combat Balance Changes

‍

Cultists

Cultists gained too much attack on higher campaign difficulties, sometimes making fights harder than intended.

• All Veteran and Elite Cultists have had their base stats reduced to decrease offensive capability.

‍

Bandits

To improve combat pacing, Bandit Strength has been reduced, so these fights resolve more quickly.

Corrupted Enemies didn’t have enough protection from Player heroes in missions where players were supposed to defeat Corrupted Enemies. This resulted in extremely easy fights, where players were able to one shot these enemies.
