This update includes seven new challenging variants for the Grand Tour of the Sword Coast, Tomb of Annihilation, and Waterdeep: Dragon Heist campaigns, as well as Quality of Life Updates around improving chest opening, blacksmith contract usage, and potion of polish usage.
Don't worry if the QoL change you are hoping for didn't make the cut today. Today's update is the first of several QoL updates planned for this year, and we may even be able to sneak in a few extras here and there with different events. Thank you all so much for your patience!
Grand Tour of the Sword Coast Variants
- Silken Swamp: Hatchlings Underfoot — Spider Hatchlings spawn in each area. They move very quickly and drop no gold when killed. If a Spider Hatchling reaches the formation they are 'squished', dealing massive damage to the Champion who stepped on them.
- Supply Run: On the Hunt — An archer wearing a long green cloak takes up a slot in the formation. Every 10 seconds they attack for a percentage of the Formation's DPS. Every 50 areas, an additional archer appears in the formation.
Tomb of Annihilation Variants
- The Immortal Warrior: Form Ranks — Male Champions are only allowed in columns two and four. Female Champions are only allowed in columns one and three. Warden can be placed anywhere they wish.
- The Wyrmheart Mine: Distribute Your Weight — Champions with three or more Champions adjacent to them have their DPS and Formation Abilities disabled.
- The Guardian of Orolunga: Air's Getting Pretty Thin — As the Champions ascend the temple their damage is decreased based on their Constitution (CON) score. The higher the CON, the lower the damage reduction.
Waterdeep: Dragon Heist Variants
- Trollskull Manor: House Of Darkness — Darkness shrouds Trollskull Manor. Enemies in darkness move much more quickly, and each time an enemy emerges from the darkness they surprise a random Champion, increasing their attack cooldown by two seconds for 10 seconds. This effect does not stack, however, whenever it is applied again the duration is refreshed.
- Attack on the Manor: Our Time To Shine — Champions from the C-Team, Waffle Crew, Champions of the Hall, Heroes of Baldur's Gate, and Force Grey can NOT be used.
March 13, 2019 QoL Updates
- Improved Chest Opening — You can now open up to 50 chests at once; you will be shown up to the 6 best cards from the chests you open, and then all the other loot afterwards.
- Improved Potion of Polish Usage — When you use a Potion of Polish a button appears to immediately use another one.
- Improved Blacksmith Contract Usage — When you use a Blacksmithing Contract a button appears to immediately use another one.
- Leveling Up Champions — On the standard interface (Steam) You can now hold down the mouse button (or press down on the tablet) when leveling up a Champion to repeat the action over and over (until you run out of gold), similar to how the Gamepad UI/Console UI works with holding a button to level-up. Note: This feature will only be available on iOS/Android in the next client update.
- Time Gates — When choosing which Time Gate to open, Champions' gear rarities will be displayed.
