Hell's patch 20261001

NEW

- The Inferno set: 51 new cards, including 3 Might cards. Demons, Imps and a new status, Tower Ban, which stops you from building your tower with cards. The pack costs 200 gold in the shop.

- Help: a new Formulas tab explains, with examples, how cards come to your hand and how inflation and the chain markup work.

- Classic legendaries reworked, the cards stay in your collection:

Meridia, the Third Matriarch: destroys every Cultist in your hand, each deals 4 damage to the enemy and gives +2 to your tower.

Alinaer, the Blood Goddess: an aura that cannot be removed - at the start of your turn it deals 2 damage to the enemy and gives +1 to your tower.

Malgrim's Stronghold: both walls collapse to zero, every 3 points of wall destroyed give +1 to your tower.

Nazgoth's Nightmare Guard: 1 damage for every Madness you have put on the enemy this match, then Madness 4 for 2 turns.

Emergency Reinforcement is now Epic and builds 9 when your wall is at zero. Madman is now Legendary.

CARD DRAW

- Cards mixed into a deck stay there until the end of the match. Cards added to the hand arrive once and fit even into a full hand.

- Fewer income cards late game: at school income 6 they come 20% less often, at 7 and above half as often.

- Your hand keeps attacks and building in better balance, and tower building now counts as building.

- From turn 25, cards that have never been in your hand get +2.5% chance for every card you play.

- A played card does not return for 15 turns (was 20), a discarded one for 10 (was 7).

- Herald of the Cult: every draw has a 65% chance to bring a random Cultist.

BALANCE

- Inflation is softer on cheap cards: at stock 40 a card for 6 costs 14 (was 19).

- The chain markup grows with each card: 3rd +3, 4th +8, 5th +13. Warlord with the Slaves offering I: +2, +6, +10.

- Siege Master holds 8 cards in hand again.

- Zealot Cultist is now a woman. Her Slaves offering I lifesteal works only with attacks that also hurt you and is 15% weaker.

- Sinners deal damage for every stack of your negative effects.

- Bottled Gloom: Cleanse removes no more than one of its curses at a time.

- Crushing Tentacles: 10 damage to the wall, Madness lasts 1 turn longer.

- Skeleton tokens have Play Again. Pillage costs 12.

- Exquisite Instruments - 6 charges, Blood Cement - 6 turns, Beads of Yos Martra last 5 turns and catch any negative effect.

- Ritual is renamed to Price of Power.

- Pack odds: Legendary 1%, Epic 6%.

SAGA

- Your hero's portrait at the bottom of the map, hover it to see the hero's trait.

- A Surrender button: the run ends and the collected reward is paid out.

- ESC on the map asks for confirmation, and on the deck, Merchant, Forge and Sanctuary screens it returns you to the map.

INTERFACE

- Leaderboard: up to 100 places, a wider window, and the weekly reward is shown.

- The battle log shows income changes, discards with the resources gained, and mana left after a spell.

- The card history shelf is more compact and clears after a discard-only turn.

- The Eye of the Sleeping God, Messenger and Prophet windows no longer blur the background.

- Picking a card in the enemy's hand works on the first click.

CONNECTION

- Players from China connect through a separate server when the main one is unreachable.

FIXES

- Picking a card with Spy Raid could crash the game.

- In PvP the first opponent's avatar stayed for later matches.

- ESC on the Saga deck screen abandoned the run.

- Right-clicking in the Saga pick-1-of-3 worked only every other time.

- The offering tooltip in Saga battles went off screen.

- If the turn timer ran out after a spell or Play Again, the turn passed without a discard.

- Old Veteran triggers whenever it leaves the hand.

- Brother no longer hits twice.
