Feb 11, 2025 Patch Notes

Battle Pass Quests Revised
  • We've overhauled the quest system to streamline progression, improve reward scaling, and make objectives clearer.
  • Key Changes
    • Fewer total quests for a more focused experience.
    • Rewards now scale appropriately with effort.
    • Clearer objectives to make earning rewards easier to understand.
[h2]Quest Updates[/h2]
  • Daily Quests:
    • Encourage more gameplay, now offering significantly more card rewards.
  • Weekly Quests:
    • Follow a structured format:
      • 1 upgrade quest
      • 1 acquire quest
      • 1 quest for playing with a specific faction
      • 1 quest for using a particular strategy
    • Seasonal Quests:
      • Always provide 7 quests:
        • Win X games with each faction to earn a random Legendary card of that faction.
        • Acquire many cards
        • Upgrade cards to high rank.
    Economy Changes
    • Shard Changes:
      • Elemental Shards and Radiant Shards are being retired and will no longer be active currencies. However, you can still convert them into Shards in the shop! We've replaced the Shard Exchange tab with the new Shard & Chroma Exchange tab, where you can trade in your Elemental and Radiant Shards for Shards.
      • You are now also able to exchange Chroma for any currency in the game, this includes Shards, Faction Tokens, Cores and Royal Marks. Just head to the shop, navigate to the tab, and start exchanging!
      • Removed elemental shards and radiant shards from the loot pool
    • Relic Store Changes:
      • We are removing Mono Color Faction Relics from the shop's rotation and they are being added as a reward in the guide quest. This is part of an ongoing process to simplify the store, relic acquisition, and to help introduce new players into deckbuilding at a slower pace.
      • Removed:
        • Gravel Chitten
        • Professor’s Handbook
        • Hymn Of Rage
        • Baronness’s Ruby
        • Steam Valve
    Cards & Gameplay Changes
    • Update wording on several relics
    • Renamed several cards for clarity/theme.
