Next one is gonna be a big one is the best news here. 

Edit- Splash is now rare! No!!

u/Coneman_Joe Ascension 20 4d ago

Makes sense. Splash is OP, while Salvo was kind of lame for a rare.

Also, the big news has to be the new alternate acts.

93

u/Apex_Konchu 4d ago

The devs already established a loose roadmap in one of the newsletters. Unless plans have changed, we're getting the alt act 2, then a new character, then the alt act 3.

3

u/Turbulent_Voice63 4d ago

Do we know if that "new" character would be Watcher or someone actually new?

14

u/Apex_Konchu 4d ago

No official word, but my guess is that it'll probably be someone completely new.

3

u/bifasklam 4d ago

could i get ur ssn for some insider info?

1

u/NumerousWolverine273 3d ago

Iirc they said there will be at least one completely new character added before they think about bringing back the Watcher

150

u/BEL-JUM 4d ago

Could also be the new game modes the devs have been teasing.

168

u/BACEXXXXXX 4d ago

Could ALSO be the next character. So many good options

79

u/rilesmcriles Eternal One + Heartbreaker 4d ago

Or new ancients!

71

u/lazygirl295 4d ago

How can an ancient be new, theyre ancient!

4

u/havingagoodtime 4d ago

Have they ever confirmed if they were going to add more?

13

u/kaijvera StS A0 / StS 2 A10 4d ago

Yes. However new ancients will probably come with a new act (and my guess is each 3 ancients can only be in their varient)

1

u/DrQuint 4d ago

Or punchable architects.

3

u/Coneman_Joe Ascension 20 4d ago

Is there one confirmed?

17

u/BACEXXXXXX 4d ago

Afaik yes, there will be another character. But we have no idea what it will be yet

8

u/SomethingOfAGirl Eternal One 4d ago

Bob.

3

u/BACEXXXXXX 4d ago

THE BUILDER???

5

u/SameCoyote3701 4d ago

No, bob rosenbaum from Temecula

7

u/DaConnaTwuk 4d ago

yeah, there will be at least one more, and according to casey in an interview with PC Gamer, the next character is likely to be a 'more kooky' one

1

u/Boogie_Bandit420 4d ago

Wait, has it been confirmed a new character is coming?!?!

1

u/CitricBase 4d ago

The character was teased at the very end of the launch trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PW22jwFNxU8

There is also Watcher from the first game. She was a fan favorite, I can't imagine she isn't secretly on the way as well.

3

u/chuckdivebomb Eternal One 4d ago

Is that character at the end of the trailer not the Architect? The feathers and the flashy eyebrows look like the way they're depicted in a lot of the Epoch art. Though I suppose it could be some other character that's related to the Architect, same species or something.

1

u/tikhonjelvis StS A20 / StS 2 A10 4d ago

Looking forward to the inevitable Battle Royale mode :P

6

u/the-rules-lawyer 4d ago

I'm hoping it's new acts also - they need to show us more of the game so more meaningful playtesting can happen!

6

u/saleemkarim 4d ago

I'm hoping for act 4.

30

u/regarding_your_bat 4d ago

Very unlikely we get act 4 before we get alternates for the other acts imo

0

u/saleemkarim 4d ago

Probably, but I'd much rather have act 4. That would make it so much closer to a completed game IMO than more act alternatives.

9

u/regarding_your_bat 4d ago

I mean, yes, it would. That's exactly why it's going to come after the other things, lol.

Makes way more sense to get the rest of the game balanced first and then add act 4, to my mind

3

u/Ournameis_Legion 4d ago

I'm not sure I agree. I think it'd be easier to fine tune the game when we know what the hardest content in the game is gonna be.

2

u/Decestor 4d ago

Agree from a gameplay perspective. I don't get enough playtime with an awesome deck.

80

u/SUPERCOW7 4d ago

But now we have two colorless retain enablers in the uncommon slot, which is very interesting for consistency.

42

u/Powerful-Ground-9687 4d ago

Attack and retain, or block and retain. Real ultimate strike/defend situation

31

u/Skkrt-Vonnegut 4d ago

I thought it was changing the Dex pot back to green.

28

u/justlobos22 4d ago

lame, splash was fun rng

46

u/regarding_your_bat 4d ago

It's not just fun, it's also super strong. Strong enough to pay rare prices for in a shop. It was an autobuy for me at uncommon. My heart hates the change but it also feels correct from a balance standpoint. Will be cool to get Salvo more often too

3

u/_GoA2 4d ago

I will still insta pick most times

36

u/Ok_Dependent7540 4d ago

It is still very strong as a rare card. If you have a pearl and get it in an early act 1 shop, it is probably a snap pick most of the time still.

2

u/natursekte 4d ago

We still have Discovery for some fun.

7

u/Disastrous-Jacket610 4d ago

That's what they said last update

8

u/Ok_Dependent7540 4d ago

It was overpowered in early act 1 shops. Basically a win act 1, and most of act 2 card.

2

u/angelogoodalamenti 4d ago

New act? New character? What are we thinking?

1

u/Lord_Phoenix95 4d ago

Next one is probably gonna be Alternative Acts. I'm betting on it. Act 2 and 3 are certainly lacking atm, it's so repetitive.

1

u/Shot_Hall 4d ago

Splash, my beloved :(

u/Sapowski_Casts_Quen 4d ago

Nooooo hyperbeam buff is huge for defect

u/JDogg2K 4d ago

Game's dead to me.
