The unique deck-building, tower-defense hybrid Minion Masters received Update 1.45 which introduced two new “Crystal Elf” cards.
The new cards in question are Mana Chaser and Spelldancer, best used if you have six mana or more. For example, if you have six or more mana and Spelldancer is on play, it fires four Arcane Sparks at random enemies in the area and grants Mana Freeze. Check out the image below.
Some changes to Mordar’s Tombstone perk have also been applied in Update 1.45. For one, its activation delay is lowered from 15 to just 10 seconds. But more importantly, when it resurrects a dead allied unit, the Tombstone will no longer be destroyed. Instead, the activation delay will restart, effectively putting Tombstone on cooldown.
Furthermore, the Tombstone will now use its own health as a resource for resurrecting allied units. Because of this, it can bring dead allies back on the battlefield multiple times, provided that it has enough HP to do so.
You can read the other balancing adjustments below:
- Morelia
- Book of the Dead Cost 1 > 0
