[Game Update] - 394495

Update Information:

Hey Grifters!

... and we're back with a new experimental build. The next update will add day 3 to Rook's story. The actual plot stuff isn't ready to show off quite yet, but we do have a new experiment for testing the new bosses. We're  currently making a batch of new day 3 faction jobs, the first of which will be ready for testing sometime next week.

Looking at the data for Eonwe fights, it turns out that she's a lot harder than Threekwa for non-experiment players. I think this might have to do with her "malfunctioning charge cell" mechanic being a bit opaque, and it being a hard-counter to high-charge decks. We've made some adjustments to the fight balance, and added some new UI to clarify the mechanic. We'll see if this brings her winrates into line with her counterpart!

We're also working behind the scenes to prove out new card mechanics for the third character. That stuff isn't in the build yet, but I can't wait to show it off!

Happy grifting!
