Northwind : Patch 2: Rebalancing Patch!

Patch 2: Rebalancing Patch!

Hello everyone!

This month’s update focuses on balancing patches !

To address balancing issues, we added the Duplicator subtype to solve the problem where experienced players could easily create infinite loops. Based on your win rates and performance data, we also buffed/nerfed several cards and adjusted the abilities of various Cards, Gems, and Relics. Fixed text on cards, relics, and throughout the game content for consistency. Fixed a sound effect volume issue that was incorrectly tied to the game settings.
