Patch V0.25

Change list

Reproduced from the developer's release notes.

• After years of research, our top scientists have finally made a breakthrough in the card system. Each card has a unique “Mastery” that can be unlocked using stones. This Mastery will add an immediate benefit to your card, and it will unlock a new lab that will let you level up the effect even more. These new upgrades are very expensive but will allow for a wider variety of strategies. Card Mastery can be accessed once the milestone for T16W100 is claimed and a player owns all copies of every card.

• Lab sections can be collapsed
• Individual labs can be favorited
• Favorited labs show up even if they are complete
• The number of levels in the lab can be seen on the Lab Info panel
• A new toggle exists to auto research labs. If you have enough coins to research the next level, it will automatically start once the previous level finishes.
• Labs with partial progress will have their time remaining highlighted in green

• Added a new “Cinematic Mode” that removes all the elements from the UI except the tower. It can be toggled on in the Settings Menu. Cinematic mode can also be manually activated by pinching the screen during a round. What a beautiful screensaver!
• The full info panels for Ultimate Weapons and Bots now show the value of the next level.
• In many out-of-round views, a dropdown arrow has been added to the header that will show a list of all current currencies
• We have heard all the feedback about tournaments and made several small changes that will hopefully fix many of the existing problems - without changing how players think about tournaments.
• We have added a Legends league (T14+)
• We have changed the rewards for almost every rank such that doing better will always net more (or the same amount) of stones. To do this some individual ranks were lowered, but it is an explicit increase in stones - especially with Legends expanding the ceiling.
• Copper and Silver are now “protected” tiers. Once a player is promoted out of them, they can never be demoted back into them.
