- Hotfix v0.6.5.1 - 29 September 2026
Hotfix v0.6.5.1A small hotfix is now live with a handful of bug fixes, usability improvements, and one balance revert.Changes & FixesElvish Orb: Reverted the recent Charge change. There were too many fun interactions that disappeared because of it, so I'm bringing the old behavior back.Shardfang / Elvish Orb: Lucky rolls that provide Multicast or Bleed will no longer incorrectly display those keywords.Fixed an issue where the Type tooltip was not translated into other languages.Fixed a visual issue with the Seer Day 8 option that reduces your teammate's cooldowns. It displayed -0.2s, while the actual effect was -0.3s.I like the new keyword system, but it was a little too excessive. The first part of abilities, such as Start of Combat, is no longer displayed as a keyword. (Makes it a lot more readable)Bomb Wagon (0-Star): Reworded the ability from "replenish Charge" to "give bonus Charge…

Patch v0.6.3 🪵Backpack Battles just added the Oaken Tower crossover: Time Pendant to their game!Welcome to all new Oaklings!I'm Bocary, the Solo dev of Oaken Tower. And I simply want to make Oaken Tower as great as possible! Join the Discord and chat if you have balance suggestions etc. It would mean so much if you would consider leaving a Steam Review ❤️BalanceThe Fairytale nerf helped a ton, but it is still slightly too oppressive early game due to how easy it is to trigger with Butterflies. For that reason, Butterflies is seeing an adjustment which effectively works as a nerf to Fairytale.🔄 Butterflies: 7 dmg --> 12 dmg | 1.4s CD --> 1.8s CD.The Vampire set generally has a healthy power-level (albeit a high use-rate), but Red Rose proved slightly too strong in high star-tiers.🔴 Red Rose: 20/40/80/100 % max hp --> 20/30/40/80% max hpThe Goblin pack was the least used pack, so some…
- Patch v0.6.2.1 - 18 September 2026
Patch v0.6.2.1I am continuing to iron out everything after the big Q3 update, and reacting to feedback.Most importantly: Fairytale was very problematic, so it's seeing a nerf this patch.BalanceFairytale nerf: **4s CD | 8 Heal** "When another spell triggers, trigger this.", "When another spell triggers, trigger this. Every other trigger, gain +1 Bonus Heal.", "When another spell triggers, trigger this. Every other trigger, gain +2 Bonus Heal.", "When another spell triggers, trigger this and permanently gain +2 Heal."Other* Lily Pad Charm now says "Trigger **another** Fairy item to the right". Basically cannot trigger another Lily Pad Charm. Would break the rotation feature.* Added a "type" tooltip that explains what a "Type" means.* \ You can now see when your teammate freezes the shop.* \ Rainbow emote and Questionmark emote swapped places.* \ You can now ping the reroll button.Fixes* F…

Patch v0.5.6Matchmaking improvements and rating adjustments.If you want to help the game, please consider leaving a review ❤️ I am continously reading your feedback, and you can always reach out to me on Discord if you have any suggestions to improve the game!Matchmaking improvementsBased on feedback I have improved the matchmaking a lot in this patch. I will be looking at your feedback and check posts on Discord/Reddit to hear how the improvements feel. I can't disclose too much about the internal changes, but matchmaking in general should be more precise and feel much more balanced than before (especially in higher ranks). Rating adjustmentsThe recent adjustments of the Season 2 rating system had gotten very good feedback. It took the game in the right direction, but the highest of ranks are still slightly too harsh. There are simply slightly too few people in the high ranks than I wo…

Patch v0.5.5Addressing feedback, Adjustments to the rating system & balance changes.If you want to help the game, please consider leaving a Steam review ❤️Quick TeaserAs teased on the Discord, I am adding an additional new pack to the Q3 update! (aimed to launch second half of September) And even before the Q3 update, there will be a smaller update with a cool collab! Stay tuned.. 🎒Addressing rating-system feedbackThank you for all of the feedback for the new Season 2 rating system.The new system definitely made the game more competitive, and made the high ranks a lot harder to achieve. As Fluffeh mentioned, I think I might have "overcompensated" from the season 1 system, which was much easier to climb in.Today I am adjusting the system and making it slightly more forgiving. During the Early Access we have to find the perfect middle-ground, where the ranks are competitive, but there is…
