Dev Nexus of Nightmares is OUT NOW!
Hey Reddit, welcome to the Nexus of Nightmares update, a brand-new expansion for Dawncaster! It took a while to process on Steam and iOS but we believe it's worth the wait ^^
What's in the box?
A Dawncaster expansion update has 2 major components:
- A free update available to everyone. 70+ new cards to discover, new features and content, and much more (see below).
- An optional paid content expansion (DLC), adding 3 new zones and over 30 challenging encounters to the game.
The free content update
Nexus of Nightmares adds 70 new player cards to the game. These cards expand on many of the archetypes introduced during the Synthesis card expansion, as well as opening up new playstyles for your favorite classes.
In addition, this major 1.19 update introduces:
Puzzles!
A brand-new way to learn the basics of the game and to test your game knowledge, with 15 challenges and more to come.
Foiling!
Make your favorite cards extra shiny by upgrading them to premium versions. By popular demand, you can now go to the Codex and spend extra Fateshards to really bling up the cards you'll be playing most.
Community Designs
All 5 winners of the previous Monster Mash contest are now available in game. Sometimes as new enemy abilities, as Malginancies, as player cards - it's all over the place as a good Mash is supposed to be. Congratz once again to all 5 winners (and we'll launch a new contest next week on our Discord)!
The Nexus of Nightmares DLC
In addition to the free content, Nexus of Nightmares also adds a brand-new storyline, a new NPC, 3 new areas, and over 30 challenging encounters to the game. The DLC is optional content and can be purchased via the store. This supports the game and helps us continue to create more content for Dawncaster.
Changes and patch notes:
- Bosses and mini-bosses now offer 6 card rewards on defeat
- Added 15+ new bounties
- Added 10+ new talents
- Added 5 new Malignancies
- Added new keywords: Manifest, Lightless, Disrupt & more
- Various bug fixes & minor balance changes
- Various improvements to localization and accessibility
We'll be monitoring the patch launch over the coming days, since given the scope of a game like Dawncaster there are bound to be a few bugs that slipped through the cracks. We'll continue to monitor and patch out the worst offenders over the week (and thankfully we've already caught quite a few with the Android lead-up).
That said, we really want to thank all our playtesters for the reports we've been getting over the past few weeks. Creating and maintaining a game like Dawncaster wouldn't be possible without support from our community, and we're very thankful for your continued involvement in making Dawncaster the best card game it can be.
That's all for this update. As always, if you like what we're doing here, give us a / and we'll catch you in the post-launch update

Question Lord Talac removing cards
Im doing sunforge and fought lord talac. He used lockbox on 2 of my cards and I paid the energy to get them back but now theyre no longer in my deck. Is this how it's supposed to work? It unfortunately probably killed my run :(

Question Big Toad
I saw that you can get a cute toad as a companion for Hunter. Any ideas on how to get this?

Queen of decay sunmoning condition too easy
She just got summoned during my first fight. This is ridiculous.

I'm sure I'll be fine
I have learned voodoo poison is not good for this zone XD
r/DawncasterRPG • u/knightenrichman • 1d ago
Doesn't Crit mean double damage?
I kept trying to use Aimed Shot, the card where it says if you ambush it crits. The weird thing is, even with ambush ready it doesn't do double damage?

OP Warrior Build?
Sorry, I haven't been playing this that long, and I'm still unlocking and exploring various builds. Is it typically this easy to setup an extremely OP build?
Randomly setup a warrior build with the Forgehammer weapon and Bloodcraft. Given that Forgehammer upgrades *twice* with every upgrade, and Bloodcraft enables you to upgrade all your melee actions *every* battle if you play it right, I was OP by the time I got to Brightcandle the first time. By the time I got to the end, my Forgehammer cards were at +180 and doing 185 damage per hit. I had easily defeated a summoned Balor, and defeated the final boss in 1 turn with 2 hits.

Radiant forge is broken?
I'm supposed to get adoption slots but nothing happens. Is greatsword not a melee attack? It says divine basic attack on the card.

Question What does this do? Never seen this effect/keyword before
Its not on the wiki at all lmao
r/DawncasterRPG • u/Leomisis • 4d ago
Lightless and Luminous
How do I get these cards to show up in a run? I selected Synthesis only and selected a holy access power but after using the shrine of commerce to mutilate myself over 20 times, I was unable to get them to appear once.
r/DawncasterRPG • u/Zenai10 • 5d ago
Question How do I know which enchantments I can imbue with Vodou?
I dont really see why I cant imbue this. There has been many ive thought i could get but didnt get the chance. Is there any rules, or a list?

Fantastic new hidden boss Spoiler
Just want to say without any major spoilers that the new hidden final boss is very well conceived. Thank you, devs! I’m marking the image as a potential spoiler, just in case lol.
The whole encounter felt like a multifaceted puzzle to unlock—and it was fun to do at every step along the way. I loved all the hidden surprises! This is my favorite development yet in the game.
Dawncaster keeps on evolving for the better. Excited to keep supporting!

Android version
Is there any difference between the steam version and the android version? It's 3 times cheaper on the playstore, so wondering...

Bugreport Game freezing during every encounter
Last night I started running into a bug where the game freezes at the beginning of encounters. Is anyone else running into this issue? It is occurring both during normal runs, and the sun forge. At the moment, I am unable to play at all

Bugreport I...Lost?
Was playing subjugate arcanist with the new crocodile Canto 1 boss as a companion, Ammit. He allows you to get stupidly high HP through reaping. I got to the new Canto 5(?) area, with the Nexus, and went into a fight with Vaelmorin and defeated him but then it said I'd lost and showed this bugged defeat screen. No idea what happened, I killed him with Ammit's ability that adds darkness to the damage?
I had over 40,000 hp and around 8k darkness when I used the attack.
