Update 08-2024
By Aileen · Official · 08/2024Back to releases
Hello, Stormbounders! A new version of Stormbound is coming in August, bringing balance changes, Daily Cards UI changes, Frost Summer Fiesta and Event of Eternity!
Balance changes
This release, just like any other, will bring some balance changes.
- Chilled Stonedames‘ strength is now 6/7/8/9/10 (up from 5/6/7/8/9).
- Snowmasons‘ ability made to give 5/6/7/8/10 (up from 4/5/6/7/8).
- Blessed with Brawn‘s ability made to target a friendly unit or structure with 5/6/7/8/10 strength (instead of 4/5/6/7/8 strength).
- Midwinter Chaos‘ ability made to deal 4/5/6/7/8 damage to frozen enemy units and freezing enemy units with 5/6/7/8/10 or less strength (instead of targeting enemy units with 5/6/7/8/9 or less strength, destroying all that are frozen, and freezing the others).
- Prime Oracle Bragda‘s strength is now 6/7/8/10/12 (up from 5/6/7/9/11), and the ability made to increase the strength of up to 3/4/4/5/5 weaker friendly units [...] (changed from 2/3/3/4/4).
- Sharpfist Exiles‘ strength is now 4/5/6/7/8 (up from 2/4/4/7/7), and the ability made to gain 3/3/4/4/5 strength for every enemy unit [...] (changed from 2/2/3/3/4).
- Flooding the Gates‘ ability made to deal damage to all enemy units (instead of all units).
Daily Cards UI changes
We've made several changes to the Daily Cards feature in the Store to enhance your shopping experience.
With these changes, Daily Cards tab now displays the number of copies you have and how many more you need to level up in the form of a progress bar.
Additionally, you can now use Fusion Stones to unlock cards you don't own yet, instead of using Rubies and Coins. The cost to unlock a new card has been reduced to match the price of crafting card duplicates (3, 5, 15).
This change is designed to help new players get cards with resources they might not know how to use yet. We believe it will positively impact players' progress.
Event of Eternity
Unleash the power of eternity with our special event! The Event of Eternity starts today, August 26th, 2024, and will run until September 2nd, 2024, at 9 AM CEST.
More Cards
Scroll of Elders and Book of Undead will yield 2 extra cards for the duration of the whole event in store, starting from August 26th, 2024, and ends on September 2nd, 2024, 9:00 AM CEST.
More Rubies and Coins
During this event, from August 26th, 2024, until September 2nd, 2024, at 9:00 AM CEST, every Coin bundle will yield up to 30% more resources, and every Ruby bundle will yield up to 50% more resources.
Cheapened Brawl
Finally, the Brawl starting on August 29th (and only that one) will be cheaper. All fights will be 50% off. Owners of the Premium Pass will also have their usual discount applied, leading to a 60% reduction.
