Glitter Force - Patch #37

Team Horizon

—

Feb 26, 2020

This week brings a change to Discovery mode as well as some awesome new cards like Sun Son, Scrollweaver, Libra, and Grifter!

Improvements

Attack ⚔️ & Health on units and heroes has now been reworded to Power 💪 & Health.
All Discovery decks, both single and dual prism, are now comprised of 25 cards. This change was made to decrease the amount of times players run out of cards in Discovery mode, and give a boost to single-prism Discovery decks, which have historically been weaker.

Fixes

Strike Shield 🛡️ now doesn't trigger from 0 damage attacks. It will still apply before armor however.

"Doing some cleanup in the wake of last week's Sigil (now Rune) patch, especially on enchants. Not all changes shown, such as template or name only changes. The "attack" stat is now the "power" stat, to differentiate from the attack action."

Note that some of these are just attached cards.

Flames (527)

Text: When this enchant is dusted, give your hero +3 Health and draw. ➞ When this enchant is dusted, give your hero +2 Health and draw.
