Across the Obelisk Patch Notes – October 24, 2022

Improved Draft system

The latest update changed how cards are chosen in Obelisk Mode and Weekly Challenge. From now on 8 packs of cards will appear (in each pack there will be 3 cards out of 6 possible contained in that pack,) and you will be able to choose 3 of them, with the option to reroll all packs only once.

General Changes & Balance

New Profile system: now you can use and save different in-game profiles that will save your progress and unlocks, so you can play at your own pace with different people or as you want.

Traits

[b]Heiner (unbreakable):** Now grants 12 block (from 10) and 1 Fortify to all heroes at the start of the combat, instead of 2 Fortify to himself.

Perks

New Burn perk: Burn on enemies deals double damage if the enemy has 2 or less curses (including Burn).
Health perks: the 4th perk increased health to 6 (from 4).
Health perks: the 7th perk increased health to 16 (from 12).
Resistances perks: the 3rd perk increased resistance to 3 (from 2).
Resistances perks: the 6th perk increased resistance to 8 (from 6).
Reinforce/Insulate/Courage stacking perks: increased the resistances given to 7% (from 5%) and reduced maximun charges to 8 (from 10).

Fortify perk that gives block at the end of the round increased to 7 (from 5) for each Fortify charge.

Decay perk that reduces shadow resistance increased to 8% (from 5%) per Decay charge.
Dark perk that makes charges on heroes explode changed to 38 (from 35.)
Dark perk that increases the damage of the explosion increased to 35% (from 25%).
Dark perk that makes dark on enemies also explode at the end of the turn, now it doesn’t remove all the dark charges when it explodes. Charges are only removed on the big explosion.

HP of enemies in Act 3-4 in the last levels of madness reduced by 10%.
Champion Guts: changed the card “Desecrate” for “Shadow Cleave”, reducing the number of multi hits in area and thus reducing his fury gain and the dark he applies.

QoL & Bug fixes

When a save game is corrupted because the game was closed unexpectedly if there’s a saved backup, it will be loaded instead.
In the perk tree, if you have selected a perk that “does not stack” under a multi-selectable perk, this info will also be available when hovering over the main node.
Fixed a bug in cooperative games that showed items as “bought” when coming from an old save game in the same session.
Fixed a bug that could lead to negative health values through the use of corruption nodes and item swaps.
Fixed a bug that produced a different number of corruptions completed among the players in coop games when some reward screens were reset.
Fixed other small issues and text corrections.

Halloween event

During the Halloween event (24 Oct – 3 Nov) the game will have a special Weekly Challenge, this challenge will have its own corruptions and a twist in the gameplay “Darkest Night” a perk that will be applied to everyone (heroes and enemies) and that will explode the dark at the end of every turn. In addition, the game backgrounds will be filled with new sinister Halloween decorations.

Halloween Costmetic Pack

As we teased in our Dev Diary with the artwork for this DLC, it seems only fair that we let you know that the Halloween cosmetic DLC is available NOW on Steam! The new DLC contains Halloween-themed costume changes
