🌨️ Winter’s shadow falls.
What once slumbered beneath the ice now awakens, and the heroes answer its call. ❄️
Warm yourselves, brave adventurers, Winter has descended across the Obelisk, and with it comes Frostforged Season, a new Nordic-themed skin pack that brings a colder, steel-bound look to ten heroes.

📜 1.7.5 Patch Notes
Alongside Frostforged Season, we’ve rolled out a number of gameplay improvements, balance updates, and fixes:
Gameplay Changes
Nyrada’s Revealing Presence has been reworked. New text: “50% extra damage to illusions and summoned units. When playing a 3+ cost card reveal a random illusion. +50% damage for all heroes against the revealed illusions. When an illusion or summon dies, gain 1 Energy.”
It should now apply a "Revealed" curse to enemies that increases damage done by all heroes to that target. This should also increase the damage dealt by Dark Explosions
Buffed Nyrada’s Dark Mercy. It now also increases Dark applied by 2
Choices that require DLC will no longer appear in events unless they can be selected. This means you won’t get prompts for DLCs mid-run.
Nodes that would send you to a DLC subzone now have an option for a combat if you choose not to go to the DLC subzone.
Effects that are considered Heals have been updated to include sources such as Sanctify and Regeneration. This means that Dream Harmony and items such as Kingmaker should now trigger from these sources.
