WELCOME TO UPDATE 29.1

Here's what awaits you:

• A new PvP mode where you will be able to experiment with unit compositions and game tactics, showing everything your deck is capable of!
• Bonus Orbs. Leveling up event units gives personal bonus orbs to other Legendary units. Upgrading your collection has just become cheaper!
• Balance changes to units: Treant, Bard, Phoenix, Genie, Demon Hunter, Inquisitor, Stasis, Portal Mage
• Blazing Burn have been nerfed: his ability will be used less frequently now.

NEW PVP MODE

Be sure to test yourself – and your deck – in this peculiar new game mode. How is it different from regular PvP? Read on:

• Before the bosses arrive at the end of each wave, a Phantom monster appears on each player's side of the field!
• All the damage dealt to the Phantom is converted into health of the boss appearing for the enemy. The more damage you deal, the harder it will be for your opponent to defeat the boss
• Each wave, the player who is the first to kill all bosses gains a bonus to all mana received until the end of the game.
• Compared to the regular PvP mode, the bosses are weakened, and the intervals between uses of their abilities are increased
• No Death Waves here
• Monsters gain increased armor with each wave
• The damage percentage transferred into the health of bosses will increase with each passing wave

Don’t be afraid to try starkly different decks and heroes, since you will be receiving the increased amount of trophies when winning, but you will be protected against losing them should you fail to win. The unusual decisions you take will make the battles supremely exciting, allowing you to look at the familiar PvP through a different eye!

*This mode will be launched in parallel with regular PvP. While it is active, you will be able to keep playing it, but you will still have the capability to switch to regular mode, too.
*Become available in Leagues

BONUS ORBS

Upgrading your unit collection is now cheaper due to the bonus Magic Orbs being introduced!

Bonus orbs replace the Magic Orbs required for leveling up Legendary units. To receive them, level up the event Legendary units by using Magic Orbs and gold / Gold Coin. However many regular Magic Orbs you have spent, you will receive as many bonus Magic Orbs.

Bonus orbs are distributed randomly between the units of the same faction that the event unit you have upgraded belongs to. They will be accumulating on units until there is enough of these Orbs to upgrade the units from their current level to level 15. Bonus orbs will be accumulating even on units that you do not have in your collection yet – with the future in mind.

If you do not have enough bonus Magic Orbs to level up a unit, the remaining amount may be compensated for with regular Magic Orbs. Bonus orbs are always the first to be spent.

Bonus Magic Orbs do not work for Reincarnating units.

Event Legendary units do not gain bonus Magic Orbs.

*With the update’s release, you will receive a one-time grant of bonus Magic Orbs for all current event units that have been leveled up previously through any means, including by using Star Coins.
