スレイ・ザ・スパイア2 (STS2) v0.103.0 パッチノート

Hey, Slayers! Casey here. This week's beta patch brings two major changes to how scoring works for the Daily Leaderboards!

First and foremost, the leaderboards will now only show your friends' scores. We'll add a way to view global scores later. In general, we don't really want to incorporate invasive anti-cheat protection into the game so it's sort of impossible for us to prevent people putting in the maximum score.

Secondly, no more magic numbers. While there's still points accrued for unlocking new cards and such, the score that's sent to the leaderboards and how it's sorted is based on whether you won, how many badges you accrued, and how quickly you finished the run (in that order). This should clarify why you did better on a Daily run compared to your friends.

Because the schema has changed, leaderboards between main branch and beta branch will be separate going forward. We'll eventually add more features like sorting and whatnot, but in the meantime, do let us know what you think of these changes! Apologies in advance for any bugs...

Now let's take a look at the rest of the updates, including updated art (like Nonupeipe above), some reworks and balance changes, a new Ironclad card, and new Neow relics (one of which may be very familiar to seasoned Slayers).

CONTENT AND BALANCE:

Hey everyone, Anthony here. This week I will be grouping balance and content changes together to better talk about how each section changes overall.

Ancients:

• Added new Neow relics:

• Neow's Bones: "Upon pickup, gain 2 random Neow Relics. Add 1 random Curse to your Deck."
• Phial Holster: "Upon pickup, gain 1 potion slot and procure 2 random potions."
• Winged Boots: "You may ignore paths when choosing the next rooms to travel to 3 times."

We have three new Neow options you can choose from. I especially like adding more variety to Neow, so we will be looking to expand her set of relics even more over time.

Ironclad:

• Added new Ironclad card, Not Yet: "Rare - Skill - Cost 2 | Heal 10(13) HP. Exhaust."
• Deprecated Grapple card
• Changed Colossus card: rarity decreased from Rare -> Uncommon

This set of changes is directly aimed at improving Ironclad's survivability in a big way. Colossus moving to the Uncommon pool helps to lessen the need for Rare defensive options, and should also help Ironclad players that are missing out on Weak. To make room for an Uncommon Colossus, an existing Uncommon had to be cut. Grapple was too low impact (and redundant with Juggernaut) so it made the most sense to cut. Not Yet gives the Ironclad a much needed healing option.

Silent:

• Changed Acrobatics card: rarity increased from Common -> Uncommon
• Reworked Follow Through card: "Uncommon - Attack - Cost 1 | Deal 6(8) damage to ALL enemies. If the last card you played this turn was a Skill, apply 1(2) Weak to ALL enemies." -> "Common - Attack - Cost 1 | Deal 7(9) damage. If you have 5 or more other cards in your Hand, hits an additional time."
• Buffed Memento Mori card: base damage increased from 8(10) -> 9(11)
• Buffed Speedster card:

• Damage increased from 1(2) -> 2
• Upgrade changed from +1 damage -> Gains Innate

Acrobatics has consistently been a problem as a Common, completely dominating both win rates and pick rates. When compared to the other cards in its family: Skim, Parse, Glimmer, and Burning Pact, it stood out as the only Common. At Uncommon I expect it to still dominate pick rates, while giving me the breathing room to not overly nerf Sly cards, and in fact maybe even give Silent buffs. I will be watching to see how this change impacts her pool in particular this week. This is still an experiment, so it could be reverted if this change ultimately ends up being worse for the game.

Regent:

• Changed Regalite relic: now grants Block for any card created, not just Colorless cards

This change makes Regalite consistent with Arsenal, and gives more love to the Regent's Status-generating cards.

Enemies:

• Deprecated Tunneleing Twosome fight from the Hive
• Nerfed Living Fog: no longer increases the amount of bombs it spawns over time
• Nerfed Skulking Colony: HP decreased from 74(79) -> 70(75)
• Nerfed Byrdonis: HP decreased from 91(99)-94(99) -> 81(90)-84(90)
• Nerfed Doormaker:

• Overall damage numbers nerfed and moves moved around to better align with the doormaker powers
• No longer applies debuffs
• Gains less strength

Doormaker maintains his troublesome powers, but gets several changes to make the fight more manageable and feel less oppressive. Additionally, I have started focusing on removing some of the spikiness from Act 1, with the long term plan to shift some of the difficulty from Act 1 -> Act 3. The Skulking Colony change is hopefully the last for a while, as the minor HP adjustment allows killing it one turn earlier at Ascension 8.
