• The 12 cards from the previous update can now drop from won duels, can be chosen as reward in exploration, and the AI is also able to have these in its decks.

• Fixed a bug that caused the android back button to be ignored on the various screens related to exploration.
• Fixed a bug that resulted in the Draw damage passive always treating received HP increases as damage, which then could further result in a crash. If a base gains HP or is repaired, ships with this passive will now properly treat these HP modifications as gains or repairs.
• Improved the combat log text rendering. Longer entries will no longer be cut off, but will properly wrap to the next line.
• Updated the AI code for the dual color energy generation acti that's present on many dual color energy structures. The AI will apply a new weighting system when calculating its energy needs, based primarily on cards in hand, rather than cards both in hand and deck. Other energy abilities are still using the old system for now.

• Added a new gamemode 'Tactical', which becomes available when players reach level 16. This gamemode features opponents with fixed decks that are centered around a specific card. Instead of a difficulty level, opponents have 5 difficulty tiers (0-4) which can't be changed by players. The active difficulty tier of an opponent depends on the number of copies players have of that specific card. While players have less than 4 copies of this card, there will be a 100% droprate for this card. Once players have 4 copies of this card, the opponent will remain at tier 4 and will have a 50% chance droprate for cards of the same race as the opponent. As the difficulty tier goes up, opponents will have increased base HP and base stats, as well as random starting energy.
• 8 opponents, one for each major race have been activated for the Tactical gamemode. 8 new cards have been added to the game, which can only be gotten from these opponents for a limited time.
• Both new and existing players will receive one copy of each common they don't have yet.
• Shield Node no longer grants 1 shield to all allies, but instead grants 2 shields to its neighbours when entering play. This card also received 2 shields.

• Fixed a typo on the game over screen and several on the battle setup screen.
• Fixed a graphical bug and typo on the exploration rewards screen in the warning text for players that already have 4 or more copies of all cards.
• Increased the maximum number of visual effects that can be rendered simultaneously to support abilities that affect all cards in play.
• Added temporary crash logging for the play button functionality on the events screen.
• Base HP increases and repairs will no longer be processed if the base is at zero HP. This will stop cases of players that were defeated during or shortly before their own upkeep phase being allowed to continue to play if they had base repairs that turned zero base HP back into positive values.
• Custom cards based on Prismatic and Greater Prismatic Demon will no longer have zero card cost by default. The custom generator will give them a base cost of 10 (Prismatic) or 20 (Greater Prismatic) energy.
• Added 23 new abilities, which can appear on cards made by the custom card generator.
• The acti ability that repairs base for an amount that scales with the number of ships of a certain race will no longer include the minor race of ships if that minor race is artifact. This caused Pantheon to include non-AR ships if they had a partial random cost.
• Acti and action abilities that target cloaked cards owned by the AI will no longer reveal their name in the combat log if the acti or action ability is also owned by the AI.
• AMC now uses symmetrical rounding. Example : -3.5 now becomes -4 instead of -3.
• Damage ships receive from their own Draw Damage passive can no longer be passed onto their base if those ships also have the Ethereal passive. This should fix a rare bug that can cause an infinite loop of damage being passed between ships and their base.
• Fixed the two variations of the ability that grantes attack or defense based on the stats of a ship compared to those of its blocker. These abilities wrongly applied the defense increase to the attack and the attack increase to the defense.
• Trader offers are now on average 25% cheaper.
• The trader boost offer will now generate 5 boosts and keep the one with the highest score, instead of only generating a single boost. This will increase the average powerlevel of boosts offered by the trader.
• Lowered the droprate penalty of cards for completed events from 50% to 35%, compared to regular duels. Completed events thus have 65% the droprate of comparable regular duels.
• Card droprates in general have been increased by a flat value equal to 10% of the level of the opponent.
• Android only : when the game detects unrecoverable memory loss during recovery, instead of force-closing the app, the game will attempt to restart the app without closing it. This is an experimental and probably temporary setup.
