New Vanguards

This release features seven new Vanguards:

They can be obtained through the FDN Vanguard packs, which will be available in the Vault for the first time just after the release.

Quality of Life Improvements

With the end of year approaching, we are ready to release some improvements you’ve asked for a while.

First, hints can now be opened over other hints. What exactly does it mean?

  • You can now open hints within other hints;

  • Hints of Planeswalker passive skills can also be opened from within their respective bundles in the Special tab of the Store.

New layout for the login screen

Our login screen has changed! Now it is more clear when you are using a guest account and not a previously registered one. With this change, we expect to reduce the occurrence of players thinking they ‘lost’ their accounts due to incorrectly starting the game with a guest account after reinstalling the game..

Something for new players: It’s now possible to access Events as soon as the first 3 battles of the tutorial are completed. This way they’ll be able to jump into action quicker and enjoy the game!

This is the first step towards some changes we want to implement for this step of the game, but we are not ready to share more details at this time.

Oh, and… the Shop!

As some of you might have noticed just above in these notes, the Vault has been renamed, and a new tab for Mana Crystal offers has been added to streamline navigation.

Changes to Daily Login Rewards

We’ve analyzed the numbers and noticed an expressive portion of players did not complete more than 21 days of login. This means losing a whole week of rewards, including a pack from one of the latest sets. Based on that, we updated how the daily rewards are distributed, so logging in for 21 days will be enough to access the most recent packs.

This change to the login rewards structure will start on January 1st, 2025.
