Emberward Patch 0.3.0 Notes – Aug 22, 2024

New Features

• New Area: Frost Ruins
• New Flame: Frostfire (Unlocked after completing Frost Ruins)
• Discard: You can now right-click on cards in your hand to discard them.

Gameplay Adjustments

• Starting tower combinations will now ensure at least one AoE tower and one single-target tower are included.
• When selecting a new tower after clearing a level, if there are relic rewards after that, the upcoming relic options will be displayed at the bottom.
• When selecting runes after clearing a level, the same type of rune with weaker effects (e.g., “Damage Rune” and “Enhanced Damage Rune”) will no longer appear.
• You can now use Shift+Tab to cycle through previous tower targeting priority options when clicking on a tower.
• When the “Static Background” option is enabled, the scrolling background on the map page will also stop scrolling.
• When placing blocks, the boost/corruption tiles on the ground will now display their corresponding positions on the block.
• The limited-time effects of buff cards will now only count down during combat.
• The path drawing function now uses Ctrl + right-click to clear the path.
• The barracks’ mission rewards will now only grant towers or artifacts.
  (The barracks and other map event nodes are planned for a major overhaul in the future; this is just a temporary adjustment to the rewards.)
• Relic “Debug Encyclopedia” rework:
  When a tower is affected by a malfunction caused by a monster, the duration is halved, and the tower gains a 50% damage boost for 10 seconds after the effect ends.
• Silas the Merchant:
  Ability Adjustment: At the start of each turn, you gain interest equal to 10% of your current gold, which is carried over to the next level, up to a maximum of 150 gold.
  (You don’t need to sell towers before clearing the level anymore!)
• Talents
  • Fast Learner:
    Adjustment: If no damage is taken throughout the entire level, gain an additional 5% / 10% / 20% experience.
    (Note: The original 20% experience bonus is now baseline!)
  • Unlock: Now can also restore blocks that have been turned into lava or ice.
  • Loot Scavenging:
    (This hasn’t been changed yet. I just want to mention that I haven’t forgotten about it 😀 It will be reworked similarly to the Merchant’s skill to prevent the need to sell towers before victory.)

Balance Adjustments

• Towers
  • Lightning Tower: Attack speed increased by 50%, chain lightning bounce distance increased by 20%.
  • Arcane Missile Tower: Damage increased (4 → 6), attack speed increased by 33%

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue where the Gold Statue’s blue upgrade multiplier was incorrect.
• Fixed an issue where the Poison Towers didn’t deal damage to monsters taken poison damage from it’s sprinkler.
• Fixed an issue where the tower upgrade UI would keep bouncing when positioned at the bottom of the screen.
