Balance Changes (Expanded)

Note that we have some changes to the Exiles and Overseers factions incoming, please only report bugs if they don't match their card text ingame

• Cannon fire will now do 6 damage to two different random combat targets (not 4)
  • Cannon Fire's old design requires multitargetting, something we currently don't support. We are giving the "current design" a damage buff to offset it being strictly worse than the original IW card in multiple ways. Once multitargetting is available we will be reverting the design and the damage buff, but we want the currently implemented design to be more playable in the meantime. Its important to us that cards are fun to play now, not just in a final version.
• Cornicern Token has flying to match art and assist the faction's flying matter's synergies
  • The Overseers of Solace and Exiles faction will soon be getting a number of reworks to bring them up to the standard of the other factions and better make use of their synergies to help offset their smaller card pool. Cornicern has been identified as a lynchpin card to enable a lot of the synergies within the OoS faction, including playing both offense and defense at the same time, swarm strategies, self bounce to reuse deployment effects, bonuses to flying, and angel tribal. Thus we have added flying to the token to play into even more of these strategies, as well as make the art of Cornicern itself make much more sense.
  • Obviously this raises the power level of the card, and this is something we will keep an eye on and adjust down if necessary.
• Invincible defender now causes morale damage from spell damage as well
  • This card was bugged to include this behavior and we are trying out how it might play as a feature rather than a bug. (The Bethesda approach 😛 ) However we are very much aware of how unfun morale damage decks can be to play, so this experiment may well be reverted shortly.
