What once slumbered beneath the ice now awakens, and the heroes answer its call. ❄️

Warm yourselves, brave adventurers, Winter has descended across the Obelisk, and with it comes Frostforged Season, a new Nordic-themed skin pack that brings a colder, steel-bound look to ten heroes. Inspired by the myths of the Nine Realms and icy battlefields, each skin reimagines your party as champions worthy of reaching Valhalla.

Whether they wield a bow, blade, spark, or pure chaos energy, these heroes are now ready to face the cold and look extremely cool doing it.

From armor to furry cloaks, each design brings a new identity to the heroes you’ve taken across the Obelisk countless times, making party composition feel a like you're assembling a raiding band of Nordic legends.

Alongside Frostforged Season, we’ve rolled out a number of gameplay improvements, balance updates, and fixes:

• Nyrada’s Revealing Presence has been reworked.
  New text: “50% extra damage to illusions and summoned units. When playing a 3+ cost card reveal a random illusion. +50% damage for all heroes against the revealed illusions. When an illusion or summon dies, gain 1 Energy.”

  It should now apply a "Revealed" curse to enemies that increases damage done by all heroes to that target. This should also increase the damage dealt by Dark Explosions

• Buffed Nyrada’s Dark Mercy. It now also increases Dark applied by 2

• Choices that require DLC will no longer appear in events unless they can be selected. This means you won’t get prompts for DLCs mid-run.

• Nodes that would send you to a DLC subzone now have an option for a combat if you choose not to go to the DLC subzone.

• Effects that are considered Heals have been updated to include sources such as Sanctify and Regeneration. This means that Dream Harmony and items such as Kingmaker should now trigger from these sources.

• Enemies should now always play their cards in the correct order.

• Game should not freeze when ending a run with less than 4 characters.

• Gaining more than 10 cards in hand should no longer lead to a desync.

• Multiple items proccing at the beginning of turn should no longer lead to desyncs.

• Summoned enemies in the Archon Sephir combat should now properly play cards.

• Rabbits summoned by Monty should count as summons for Revealed Presence.

• Items that deal damage to all enemies now properly display that.

• Updated the glossary entry for Sleep to be less confusing.

• The in-combat tooltip for Sleep should now properly display all of Sleep’s effects.

• In-combat tooltip for Infuse should now properly update with items such as Veiled Bonds.

• Nyrada should have a proper event when visiting Grukli.

• Nyrada is no longer described as “tall” in any events, as she is not.

• Updated text on Purifying Resonance to properly describe how it behaves.

• Updated text on Dark Overflow to properly describe how it behaves.

• “Revealed” enemies should have their Character Sheets properly updated.

• Fixed grammatical errors in Nyrada’s Description.

• Updated the text on the cards used by the Reweaver to better describe what they are doing.

• Nightmare Storm should now properly dispel curses on the target.

• When triggered, Shadowbound should now properly display the text “Shadowbound”.

• Injuries and Monster cards should no longer be able to trigger Nyrada’s abilities.

• Nightmare Echo should no longer be able to target injuries or monster cards.

• The tooltip for Nightmare Echoes now properly describes them as “Nightmare Echoes” rather than “nightmareecho”.

• Recurring errors in the German Localization should all be fixed.

• Practice Mode now properly displays “Practice Mode” rather than the previously selected game mode.

• Code has been updated to properly instantiate ItemData. Should lead to less warnings.
