Hello, Stormbounders! A new version of Stormbound is coming in September, bringing Anniversary event, new card, new brawl, new card offers and balance changes!
Anniversary Event
The Anniversary Event starts on September 13th and will last until September 23rd, 2024. To mark this special occasion, we’ve arranged a birthday gift along with bonuses and anniversary offers that will be available throughout the event.
More coins
During the event, all coin gains and the coin cap will be doubled, except for quests. The daily coin cap will be set at 
1,000 coins for free-to-play players and 2,000 coins for players with a premium pass.
More cards
Additionally, throughout the event, all paid books will come with bonus cards!
- +2 extra cards in Unit-type books, Classic Tome, Heroic Tome, and Mythic Tome
- +1 extra card in the Noble Book
Don’t miss this chance to get more cards, and strengthen your collection!
Ruby bonus
Moreover, every Ruby bundle will yield double the original number of rubies. This is not time-bound, and effectively lasts forever until every bundle has been bought once.
Birthday gift
Everyone who logs in during the event will receive an amazing gift pack, which includes: 700 coins, 
70 rubies, 
7 fusion stones and 1 random legendary card.
But that’s not all! You can claim an additional 200 coins by redeeming a special gift code.

Birthday Offers
During the event, there will be three special offers with avatars for people willing to put some money to the game.
This special shop offers are now available to be purchased 3 times each, while only the first one with the Avatar, and the rest with the standard content, excluding the Avatar (because players will already own the exclusive Avatar after buying the offer for the first time).
New Card
With the New Fortress Leveling System and other updates complete, we’re back to releasing new cards!

Card Offers
New Card
With this update, we've improved the appearance and the mechanic of the new card offers to make them more attractive. These offers are grouped under one banner, allowing players to switch between levels by clicking on the "Level 1, Level 3, Level 5" buttons.
When a new card is released, the offer will be divided into 3 offers:
- Level 1 Offer: Gives New card and Resources.
- Level 3 Offer: Gives Card copies and Resources for upgrading the card to Level 3.
- Level 5 Offer: Gives Card copies and Resources for upgrading the card to Level 5.
These offers will function similarly to the previous ones: they will provide card copies and resources that are specifically matched to the rarity of the cards.
What's more, players can only purchase an offer if the level it gives is higher than the current level of the card you have. For example:
- If your card is at Level 1, you can’t buy the Level 1 offer.
- If your card is at Level 4, only the Level 5 offer is available.
- Pricing depends on the current level of the card you have and its rarity.
Already Existing Cards
We've introduced a new feature to the shop, allowing players to purchase existing cards, similar to how New Card Offers work. These Existing Card Offers will be available for 24 hours, refreshing with a new offer at the next daily reset.
The same card offer will appear randomly for all players, but each card will only return after all other cards have cycled through the shop at least once. This ensures that every card gets a chance to be featured before any repeats.
UI improvements
As part of our ongoing efforts to enhance the user experience, we're excited to introduce push notifications to Stormbound on both Android and iOS platforms. These notifications will ensure that you never miss out on important in-game events and rewards.
How will notification work?
Players will receive notifications about in-game events, as well as about the start of the new season, new Draft and Brawl. Players will also be notified when a new season starts or when you're eligible for seasonal rewards, so you can claim your hard-earned prizes right on time.
Additionally, to keep you engaged with special in-game content, we'll send reminders for limited-time events and daily rewards.
These notifications are designed to be highly informative, allowing you to stay connected to the game without needing to check the app constantly.
Adjusting Notifications
Players will have full control over which notifications they want to receive, ensuring that the experience remains tailored to their preferences.
You can manage push notifications from both your device (Android or iOS) settings and within the game itself.
From your mobile device, you can toggle notifications on or off, as well as customize how alerts are displayed.
Within the game, you can fine-tune exactly which notifications you’d like to receive, whether it's reminders for special events, new season rewards, daily bonuses, or game modes like Drafts and Brawls.
This gives you complete flexibility to stay informed without being overwhelmed by unnecessary alerts.
Balance changes
This release, just like any other, will bring some balance changes.
- Olf the Hammer's strength is now 6/7/8/10/12 (down from 7/8/9/11/13), and the ability now gives 3/3/4/4/5 to your base (changed from 3/3/4/5/6).
- Trusty Shepherds strength is now 1/2/3/4/5 (down from 2/3/4/5/6).
- Treasurous Bosuns' mana is now 5 (changed from 4) and the strength is now 5/6/7/8/10 (changed from 4/5/6/7/8).
- Stoic Protectors' ability made to disable friendly abilities (instead of only enemy units).
- Clap of Thunder's mana is now 4 (changed from 5).
- Fluffy Badboxers' ability now confuses all enemy units with strength up to 4/5/6/7/9 (previously confused all weaker enemy units).
- Melodious Sisters' now deals 4/5/6/7/8 damage (previously capped up to the strength of the attacked unit).
As usual, some compensation in the form of coins and fusion stones will be provided to owners of Trusty Shepherds, Treasurous Bosuns, and Olf the Hammer, proportional to the level and rarity of the card. Find below the compensation values for each rarity and level.
- Rare card: 15 coins and 2 fusion stones at level 2, 30 coins and 3 fusion stones at level 3, 90 coins and 7 fusion stones at level 4, 190 coins and 10 fusion stones at level 5.

New Brawl
A new Brawl modifier is launching on August 29th, 2024, featuring the new Celestial Summoners card. This modifier lets you experiment with and enjoy the card before deciding whether to add it to your collection.
As usual, a 0-mana, level 1 version of the new card will automatically be added to everyone’s deck, regardless of ownership or upgrades. This means all decks will temporarily contain 13 cards, giving you an exciting opportunity to explore new strategies with Celestial Summoners.
