Greetings, Ethgard Legends Adventurers!
We've just released our latest update, featuring a complete redesign of our Hero Cards and Backgrounds, updates for Hero Balancing, and the introduction of Achievements - one-time quests with powerful rewards.
Redesigned Cards
The updated Hero cards are now available on the website and in the game. Most importantly, the frames now come in three foils: Regular, Gold, and Diamond.
The backgrounds have also been redesigned to reflect six rarities: Basic, Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic, and Legendary.
While searching for a unique pattern for the backgrounds, we chose a Hive-inspired design, reminiscent of a honeycomb. This pattern proudly showcases our roots within Hive, no matter which chain the game ultimately resides on.
When opening packs, you'll obtain tradeable cards (ERC1155) in Regular, Gold, or Diamond foil. To upgrade Heroes to a higher rarity, you will need Crowns, Rarity Cores, and cards.
Upgrading can be done on the website, in your inventory: https://ethgardlegends.com/inventory/cards
Achievements
To upgrade Heroes to a higher rarity, you will need Rarity Cores. These can be found in Chests (0.5% chance) or rewarded by completing certain achievements.
For example:
- when you upgrade 2 out of 12 Heroes to Common, you'll receive an Uncommon Rarity Core via an achievement.
- when you upgrade 4 out of 12 Heroes to Common, you'll receive another Uncommon Rarity Core.
- when you upgrade 2 out of 12 Heroes to Uncommon, you'll receive a Rare Core
- and so on, up to a max of 6 Cores.
This system ensures a fair and streamlined path to higher rarities for all players, no matter when they join the game.
Balances Changes: Heroes
We have rebalanced various Hero abilities:
- Woda

And that's it! Thank you once again for your continued support and feedback. We hope you enjoy the new update.
See you on the battlefield!
