PATCH NOTES V0.18.3


Patch 0.18.3


Beta Patch 0.18.3 fixes some major bugs from the previous patch (Gauntlet/Arena issues as well as broken Quicksand Hourglass/Zen Archer behavior) as well as a huge round of tuning for the upcoming expansion: Rings of Immortality. There are also a small number of important Core balance changes. 

Features & Bug Fixes

  • Added support for Sign in with Apple. ;)

  • Removed extra button and cue from Gallery

  • In 2v2, if there is no acting player for a minion or enchantment in the middle lane (for example, if a Melpomene Muse in the middle lane dies at the start of its turn from Blight), the controller is considered to be the owner of the card (or the owner’s opposite if the entity in question is controlled by the other team)

  • Fixed Riding with Eolis puzzle

  • Fixed a bug which causes the game to get into a bad state when an attacker is killed before the attack (for example, with Quicksand Hourglass)

  • Fixed a bug where Sablewing Zira was erroneously applying mana cost reduction to items

  • Fixed a bug where a Headless One’s damage everything ability would affect an opponent’s minion sitting on a Seahaven

  • Fixed card text for Balance, Extract Life, and Matryoshka to show the correct numbers for cards drawn, damage done, and current count, respectively
