Hello everyone!

Hotfix 1.7.5.1 is live for Across the Obelisk.

The votes have been counted - Magnus and Andrin will be the first two heroes to receive tweaks! You can expect their changes to go live this month, but before that, we'll be sharing a full breakdown of what's coming for them next week.

• Update Cutthroat enemy card priorities. First they play the “Smell Blood”, followed by “Stalking”.

• Reverie LootItemTable updated to include boss loot,

• When unlocking Nyrada, a selection of options is now correctly displayed to choose whose place she will take on the team.

• She correctly joins with 50 perks and inherits the XP from the hero whose place she takes.

• When defeating the Reweaver and accepting the gift, it will be offering the weapon to 1 of the characters rather than give it to all.

• Nyrada's deck is correct both in adventure and in singularity mode

• When Nyrada joins your team she does with the following items: Purple Twilight Moon Staff, Dark Hood, Luna Ring and Shadow Rune.

• Nyrada unlock quest change. “Permanently replace this character with Nyrada,” is the new text and a fifth option was correctly added with the text: “Never mind, we can do this without help.”There is now a description for Nyrada when she joins the team, describing her abilities as a dual-class mage and healer. The fifth option currently always unlocks Nyrada, even if she doesn’t join the team. There is now a unique interaction for each character when they are replaced by Nyrada.

• Mind Collapse skill improved. The first Spell you play each turn applies 1 Sleep to all targeted enemies. “After playing your first Spell, the rest of your Spells cost 1 less this turn. When Sleep is removed from an enemy before their turn, they suffer 10 Shadow damage.”

• Revealing Presence skill changed to Revealed Dreams: “After an enemy is summoned in combat, apply Expose to them. When you play a card that costs 3 or more Energy, apply Expose to 1 random, non-boss enemy. All heroes deal 50% extra damage to Exposed enemies. When a summon or Exposed enemy dies, gain 1 Energy.”

• Reduce Speed on Whitebeard, Blackbeard, Redbeard, and Captain enemies.

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.

Yogger → "Ironfang"

Wilbur → "Hersir"

Laia → "Freya"

Nenukil → "Dvalin"

Navalea → "Norn Revenant"

Amelia → "Ran"

Evelyn → "Huldra"

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.
