Title: “Bulwark” can be earned by reaching Level 33 within the Open Beta Season 8 Battle Pass.

Each Season we will continue to offer new cards and cosmetics exclusive to the Battle Pass.

Prime Variants

Two new Prime Variants have been added, these variants have been earned from our Parallel League events.

  • Wong, Purveyor of Curiosities

  • Lord Harf, Cartel Treasurer

Player Inventory Refresh Button

We've added a button to automatically refresh the Player Inventory. When refreshed, the most up to date data regarding Cards, Glints, Prime, Decks, and Keys will be fetched and reflected within the game. (Cosmetics pending next release)

Previously, these items required a full game restart to receive the most up to date information, if actions taken outside of the game client were made that impacted the Player Inventory.

The Refresh Button can be located in the General tab of the Settings menu.

Game Field UI/UX Improvements

Improved readability of the Game Field through various changes including but not limited to:

  • Removed unnecessary noise

  • Adjusted positioning of various elements

Card Changes

Message from Game Team

It’s time for another TCG balance pass!

We’re excited to share that most of the changes in this pass come from our newly formed internal Meta and Balance team. This group of employees is composed of dedicated players and designers hoping to make the format better and better over time.

This patch we’re primarily concerned with the all-Universal deck, but we’re also tweaking some quality of life issues and buffing some underperformers.

First, buffs:

Since you’re waiting for the token condition to become true anyway, letting it be impactful the turn it transforms seemed fun. Additional copies of it (or the first one if you’re already behind) having Battle Ready should give this card more punch.

Now we’ll get to the nerfs and tweaks:

While this technically does make the card weaker, what we’re hoping it actually does is to make the mirror match of Shroud vs Shroud feel less awkward with banish removal causing your enemy’s units to get bigger. This should only affect a small percentage of the games in which the Steward gets played, but ideally for the better.

Since his debut on the Battle Pass, we’ve seen quite the performance from this vile Baron. We still want him to provide epic moments and dramatic turns, but we don’t want him creating the sheer amount of value he was generating.

Bug Fixes

Fixed an issue where Ritual Markings was not working as intended when used on an upgraded Nehemiah, Defender of Earth

Miasmancer

Fixed an issue where Miasmancer’s muster effect was still activating when played when muster effects were disabled through another previously played Miasmancer.

Tvastar, Arak’s Flagship

Fixed an issue where Tvastar, Arak’s Flagship’s ability would not properly apply the selected upgrades to units.

Tabula Rasa / Triumph of Europa

Fixed an issue where Tabula Rasa’s muster would use the incorrect energy when played from Triumph of Europa.

Avenging Gamma [Token] / Ritual Markings

Fixed an issue where the Avenging Gamma [Token] would gain the incorrect stats after being targeted by Ritual Markings.
