Patch Notes: June 18th, 2025

It's time for another cosmic delivery of cards, captains, and quality-of-life goodness! This patch is all about giving you more ways to play your way—whether that's through easier deck selection, clearer captain powers, or fewer crashes mid-fight. Let's dive in.

New Premium Captains
Three new faces have joined the galaxy lineup. You can find them in the store and in captain select.

Introducing:
- Lightning Thief - After you cast a spell, capture it if your bottle is empty.
- Charon - Your first character has "Farewell -- +1/+1." When you replace a Golden character, improve this by +5/+5.
- Merrily - The leftmost character in your shop has +1/+1. When you cast a spell, improve this buff by +1/+1.
As always, premium captains become free to all players after two months!
Theme Decks
We're making it easier and more fun to play with the cards you love.
After choosing your captain, you'll now see multiple deck options including the Starter Deck, a Custom Deck (after having 13 cards), and one (or more) special theme decks.

These are hand-crafted, ready-to-go 12-card decks designed to help you jump into the action with a particular vibe or combo. You can edit them too—and yes, you now have more deck slots to work with!
In the Store
We're replacing the old "random card unlocks" with Featured Theme Decks. Each one:
- Instantly unlocks all 12 cards in the deck
- Is tailored to a specific captain's playstyle
- Has its cost automatically reduced if you already own any of the cards (including all the way down to FREE)

Reminder: These new Theme Decks replace the old random captain bundles.
Updates to Captain Select

Rerolls: More Control, More Fun!
- We're excited to introduce Rerolls to Captain Select, giving you even more power over your game choices!
- With this update, you'll now get one free reroll for Slot 3 each game. This slot is specifically where unowned captains can now appear, offering you a sneak peek at new abilities. The best part? Your reroll is guaranteed to offer a captain you already own!
- Important note, buying a captain from this screen gives you their full starter deck, just like buying in the store. And let's you play them right away!

This change gives you a peek at new captains you might not have tried yet—without disrupting your usual pick flow.
🛠 Performance & Bug Fixes
- Multitrigger VFX Fixes:
When the same effect triggers 3x or more, the animation now plays once with a multiplier (like "x3") instead of clogging up your screen, memory, and time. This should significantly reduce crashes during chaotic fights. - Captain Select Memory Fix:
We fixed an issue where closing and reopening the app would change your captain choices. Now your captain select will stay consistent past your open session. - Scarecrow Fixes:
Scarecrow now functions like other questers—he must be on the board to see recruits. That means he won't trigger from recruiting his bronze. To balance that, his quest counter has been reduced from 8 ➝ 7.
That's all for now! Thanks for playing, testing, and sending us your feedback—this patch is a direct result of your input.
Let us know what you think of these changes—in the Discord, on Twitter, Bluesky, Reddit and Instagram or come join our weekly Dev Twitch Streams on Tuesdays at 2pm EST!
As always, we'll see you in the stars.
And ignore those distant howls you hear, it's probably nothing...
