Tamer Vale news & patch notes

4 New cards for Elaria

• Corrosion/ Spiritual Corrosion- She can help bring down the enemies shields for her non-piercing spirits.
• Energy Channeling - an additional way to increase her summons’ damage
• Devout Oath - an additional way to increase her summons’ faith

Elaria’s major changes

• Spirits’ starting faith equals its summoning cost, e.g. Wolf Spirit now starts with 2 faiths when being summoned. This is a bigger change than it sounds to be, as it affects multiple strategies, it also makes the battle flow a bit smoother.
• Spirits won’t lose Faith if there is no target for them to attack during their turn. e.g. when all the undead enemies are yet to revive.
• The art of multiple cards has been updated to create a visual connection among those with similar abilities.

Difficulty balancing affecting all characters

• Most enemies start with at least a bit of shield. Those that have just added a starting shield will now have less HP
• Overall difficulty increased slightly, as the additional enemy shields increase the need to consider incorporating previously less used cards into different strategies.
• Easy mode also become slightly less easy.
