PATCH #4 - Defense Is the Best Offense!

It’s a beautiful day in the hood, because Black Chaz is out on the block!

Our digital sim continues to expand and improve, thanks to our players leaning in, playtesting, and letting us know what they want to see! Below are some of the latest developments:

IMPROVEMENTS

• You can now play with the Conscious Deck, making 4 of the 5 Stater Decks playable within the digital sim! In doing so, we included a few new mechanics:

  • “Cut” Keyword: Any card with the “Cut” ability will activate a “blue highlight animation” (the “cut shield” around the card and that player’s deck/health.

  • “End Round” Ability: The Conscious event, Battle Rap Champion, introduced the ability for a card to automatically end your round.

  • "Can't Be Blocked" Ability: The Conscious ongoing event, Turkey Giveaway, has given us the ability now for artists to attack without worrying about getting KO’d during battle!

• Tightened up the ability sequencing a bit more. Now both artists and events flash yellow and animate when their abilities are activated.

• Added a unique UI visual tag to both Search and Dirt screens, as well as allowed you to be able to magnify card view when looking at Search or Dirt.

• Cards in both the Dirt and Search are numbered 1-30, with #1 being either 1) Dirt: the most bottom card in the dirt, or 2) Search: the most top card of your deck.

• Updated the “Start Phase” sequence of actions:

  • 1) Ongoing events are resolved and KO’d

  • 2) "Until start of your round" abilities are resolved

  • 3) "Start" abilities activate

  • 4) Then, the Draw Phase begins (active player draw 3 cards)

BUG FIXES

• Fixed bug where you couldn’t add Cash Bag$ to battle.

• Fixed bug where selecting a blocker to “add to battle” would cause an “invalid action” message even though the instance was valid.

• Fixed bug where cards were entering a player's dirt pile in the wrong order.

• Fixed bug where you were unable to Direct Attack and deal direct damage even though the instance was valid.

• Fixed healing so that now the bottom cards shuffle back into the deck (instead of the top cards).

• Fixed bug where the “cut shield” appears any time direct damage is dealt. The cut shield should now only be activated whenever a player has a card with the “Cut” ability on their stage.

WHAT'S COMING NEXT

• Add the FINAL Starter Deck (5 of 5): Sha Kim and the Emo deck! 👻💧

• Chibi Sticker emote feature
