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.

New Card Offers in the Store

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.

Existing Card Offer in the Shop

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.

Notifications

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).
Nerf compensation

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.

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.
