General Information

General Changes

  • The Broodcall Heralds are now available! These heralds are available for each faction in the pack store for a limited time so get yours today.
  • Runes will now auto-reveal by default at the start of your turn or any time you are granted more rune reveals. This behavior can be turned off and on in the game options window or on the website under preferences.
  • A new ability has been added to Shrines. 'Shrine Scry' allows players to reveal another rune at the cost of damaging your shrine.
  • K'Thir Hill (4 fonts) has been adjusted so that the nora fonts are equidistant
  • A new version of the Savage Tundra map has been added, replacing the old version. The new version is marked as "Savage Tundra (5 fonts)" and is the version now used in ranked play.

  • Ironfist Stronghold: All friendly champions gain an additional 1 AP at the beginning of your turn while inside this Shrine's deployment zone. The entire deployment zone is stone terrain while under Ironfist control.
  • Savage Tundra: All friendly Champions will gain +1 DMG for 1 round at the beginning of it's owner's turn while inside this Shrine's deployment zone. The entire deployment zone area is non impeding snow terrain while the font is under your control.
  • Sundered Lands: All friendly Champions inside this Shrine's deployment zone gain an extra rank of Regeneration for 3 turns at the start of their turn. The entire deployment zone is sand terrain while the font is under your control.
  • Underdepths: All enemy Champions that enter this Shrine's deployment zone take 2 Fire damage immediately, and 2 Fire damage at the beginning of the Shrine owner's turn while they remain in the zone.
  • Forsaken Wastes: This Shrine's deployment zone becomes a Dead Magic zone: spells cast by the opposing player may not be targeted within this area.
  • Shattered Peaks: Whenever a friendly Champion is deployed within this Shrine's deployment zone, it gains 3 DEF and Spell Resistance for 2 rounds.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where changed key bindings were not saving in the Downloadable Client version of the game.
  • Trying to use portal, teleport, or leap while Impeded (from Mudsling) will now give an error instead of charging AP and doing nothing.
  • Transfer Life now correct does loss of life to the source unit rather than magical damage.
  • Fixed an issue where Stab would become unusable if the unit with it had Soulreave cast upon it.
  • Startle should no longer appear to trigger twice.
  • Fixed an issue where Regulate was not replacing some other attribute effects such as the Mimic abilities.
  • Fixed another issue that allowed players to see which is the real Grimlic when Grimlic uses Deception.
  • Fixed an issue where Hurry was not correctly interacting with other spells (for instance, casting Hurry after Ancestral Focus was cast would result in Hurry not recieving the cooldown reduction)
  • Fixed a number of campaigns that had incorrect spawning behavior dealing with large (2x2) units.
