Card Offers
New Card
With this update, we've improved the appearance and the mechanic of the new card offers to make them more attractive. These offers are grouped under one banner, allowing players to switch between levels by clicking on the "Level 1, Level 3, Level 5" buttons.
![New Card Offers in the Store](https://cdn.sanity.io/images/5hlpazgd/production/b587437fec3b9012230552bddbf7e4352835b9bd-792x1176.png?fit=max&auto=format&q=90)
When a new card is released, the offer will be divided into 3 offers:
- Level 1 Offer: Gives New card and Resources.
- Level 3 Offer: Gives Card copies and Resources for upgrading the card to Level 3.
- Level 5 Offer: Gives Card copies and Resources for upgrading the card to Level 5.
These offers will function similarly to the previous ones: they will provide card copies and resources that are specifically matched to the rarity of the cards.
What's more, players can only purchase an offer if the level it gives is higher than the current level of the card you have. For example:
- If your card is at Level 1, you can’t buy the Level 1 offer.
- If your card is at Level 4, only the Level 5 offer is available.
- Pricing depends on the current level of the card you have and its rarity.
Already Existing Cards
We've introduced a new feature to the shop, allowing players to purchase existing cards, similar to how New Card Offers work. These Existing Card Offers will be available for 24 hours, refreshing with a new offer at the next daily reset.
![Existing Card Offer in the Shop](https://cdn.sanity.io/images/5hlpazgd/production/51776ec996ade7d8c74a602f3313d68c70d44ee2-455x260.png?fit=max&auto=format&q=90)
The same card offer will appear randomly for all players, but each card will only return after all other cards have cycled through the shop at least once. This ensures that every card gets a chance to be featured before any repeats.
Balance changes
This release, just like any other, will bring some balance changes.
- Olf the Hammer's strength is now 6/7/8/10/12 (down from 7/8/9/11/13), and the ability now gives 3/3/4/4/5 to your base (changed from 3/3/4/5/6).
- Trusty Shepherds strength is now 1/2/3/4/5 (down from 2/3/4/5/6).
- Treasurous Bosuns' mana is now 5 (changed from 4) and the strength is now 5/6/7/8/10 (changed from 4/5/6/7/8).
- Stoic Protectors' ability made to disable friendly abilities (instead of only enemy units).
- Clap of Thunder's mana is now 4 (changed from 5).
- Fluffy Badboxers' ability now confuses all enemy units with strength up to 4/5/6/7/9 (previously confused all weaker enemy units).
- Melodious Sisters' now deals 4/5/6/7/8 damage (previously capped up to the strength of the attacked unit).
As usual, some compensation in the form of coins and fusion stones will be provided to owners of Trusty Shepherds, Treasurous Bosuns, and Olf the Hammer, proportional to the level and rarity of the card. Find below the compensation values for each rarity and level.

New Brawl
A new Brawl modifier is launching on August 29th, 2024, featuring the new Celestial Summoners card. This modifier lets you experiment with and enjoy the card before deciding whether to add it to your collection.
As usual, a 0-mana, level 1 version of the new card will automatically be added to everyone’s deck, regardless of ownership or upgrades. This means all decks will temporarily contain 13 cards, giving you an exciting opportunity to explore new strategies with Celestial Summoners.
