The 1st Season is finally here! Let's explore all the new stuff that we’ve worked on! Reworked Ranking System We’ve changed the number of subranks per rank. Now, Wood, Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum have 9 subranks with 5 crystals each, and Diamond rank has only 1 subrank with 3 crystals. We’ve made these changes to highlight that being a Diamond player is an accomplishment, and only the best will reach it. Additionally, we’ve introduced a new demotion mechanic. If a player loses and is to be demoted to a lower rank, an additional 5 crystals will be removed, making the climb even more challenging. Also, if you reach Platinum or Diamond rank, the penalty for losing a game is 2 crystals instead of 1, since being the best is for the best. All information can be found in the infographic below. All Wizards Buff After letting the game run its course for quite a while, we’ve decided to increase the statistics of all wizards. You will see the changes on your Wizard’s page. Additionally, we are releasing an article explaining how to build your own wizard, which parts are responsible for what statistics, and how you can change them! New Game Mechanic To increase the importance of the mana statistic, all wizards now start the game with half of their Mana. This balances the statistics more and guarantees more diverse gameplay. Easier Team Selection We’re adding a new feature to help you choose the perfect team. Now when browsing your Wizards in-game, you can sort out the ones with your desired spells and elements. You can also sort your wizards based on Stamina. Spell Rebalance To keep the game enhancing and fair, we’ve rebalanced spells to make some do more or less damage for a different mana cost. Experiment and see what has changed and how you can alter your gameplay. Status System Rework For the past few weeks, we’ve been reworking the status system. This means that all spells that result in a status like stun, invisibility, or shield will now work differently. This makes developing new spells easier and guarantees their work in a better, more predictable way, especially considering their complex behavior regarding duration, effectiveness, and overall performance. Below is the list of all available spells before the optimization patch, which will be released 1 month after the beginning of the 1st season. This means that Cube and Straw spells are back! New map and cosmetic Changes We can’t forget the cosmetic changes! We’ve introduced 1 new map to celebrate the Year of the Dragon, full of places to hide and ready for new strategies. The Year of the Dragon Avatar is available in your profile in dApp, along with 2 new backgrounds: Swamp and Shaman in static and animated variations, and of course, a new emote for you to use against your opponent. Connection Alerts If you experience a bad connection and your game gets disconnected, there will be a new notification encouraging you to seek a better, more stable connection. This will clarify some misconceptions. Thank you for being with us and let’s dive into the game together and have some fun! See you all on the battlefield Join Our Community!
