Update 05-2023

By  Kitty · Official · 05/2023Back to releases

Hello Stormbounders! A new version of Stormbound is coming early May, bringing new cards, balance changes and draft changes!

Team holidays

Our team will be less available from May 1st until May 5th due to vacation: There are two official holidays in Poland in the first week of May (Labor Day on May 1st and Constitution Day on May 3rd). However, this will not affect the update and the balance changes will be introduced on May 1 as usual.

Balance changes

This release, just like any other, will bring some balance changes.

  • Vindictive Wretches’ ability is now capped to 2/3/4/5/6 strength.
  • Mischiefs’ strength is now 4/5/6/7/8 (up from 2/3/4/4/5).
  • Temple of Time’s strength is now 3/4/5/6/7 (up from 2/3/4/5/6).
  • Execution now deals 5/6/7/8/9 damage (up from 4/5/6/7/8).
  • Temple of Space’s special cost when its ability triggers is now 2 mana (up from 1).
Nerf compensation

As usual, some compensation in the form of coins and fusion stones will be provided to owners of Temple of Space and Vindictive Wretches, proportional to the level and rarity of the card. Find below the compensation values for each rarity and level.

  • common card  Common card: coin 10 coins at level 2, coin 20 coins and fusion stone 1 fusion stone at level 3, coin 50 coins and fusion stone 2 fusion stones at level 4, coin 120 coins and fusion stone 5 fusion stones at level 5.

As usual, there will be $9.99 exclusive packs for every new card. Froglet Strays pack will include 5 copies as well as coin 750 coins and fusion stone 5 fusion stones. Angelic Tikas pack will include 3 as well as coin 750 coins and fusion stone 5 fusion stones. It's now possible to buy more than one exclusive pack each.

New Brawls

Similar to what we did in the last months — we will introduce 2 new Brawl modifiers for the 2 new cards. We think it’s a good way for you to be able to try, play with and enjoy newly added cards before you start collecting them.

Like last time, a 0-mana level 1 (unless owned and leveled) copy of the new card will be added to everyone’s deck (thus causing all decks to have 13 cards).

Draft Changes

This release will also introduce 2 draft changes:

  • The cost of entry gets reduced back to 1 Ticket Card.
  • The free Ticket Card will now be available every 2 weeks instead of every week.

It will increase the number of Draft Sessions players can play (because of the calendar Ticket Cards, and more sources of Ticket Cards that will be available in future).
