STASH – SEASON 2 UPDATE NOTES
Welcome to Season 2 of Stash: A Card Looter!
This update refines the core experience with faster runs, deeper strategies, and more ways to build your squad.
Explore what’s changed across Nyveris below.
MAJOR GAMEPLAY CHANGES
New Run Structure
Streamlined to 18 total battles for a more focused, tactical experience:
• 8 fights in the first region
• 7 fights in the second region
• 1 final King fight: a win or die challenge
• 2 optional Mouse fights (quick start available from run 3 onwards)
Goal: Shorter, smoother progression without sacrificing strategic depth.
King Ghosts
Souls – New Permanent Currency
Speed System Rework
The Speed value now represents the exact number of ticks between Hero turns.
Weapon speeds now range between 40 and 80, with total battle length at 1,500 ticks.
Designed for clearer pacing and smaller gaps between fast and slow weapons.
Health and Spell Progression
All Heroes now have higher hit points, supporting more defensive and control-based strategies.
All spells level up faster to match the shorter run length.
Increased focus on team synergy rather than pure value stacking.
Heal Efficiency
Now affects all effects that restore or increase Hitpoints,
including spells from Meerkat, Crocodile, and Panda.
