- Patch Title: April 1st Patch
- Patch Release Date: April 2, 2024
The developer of Acolyte of the Altar has released a new update for the game on April 2, 2024. Here are the new things that you should expect to see or change on this new update. This information was curated directly from the official announcement on Steam.
Ravagers have been struggling to rip and tear across the wastelands compared to their feathered Empiricist rivals, who have been hiding behind Borrowed Life in relative safety. This patch reduces the simplicity of forming such protective nests, as well as provides some early survivability to key Ravager units, including the pivotal Vent Crawler passive. You’ll also find some clarity and function updates to Infest which are an intended buff to the Sylvans, to make that archetype more self-sufficient.
Keeper’s Rite’s have been increased in difficulty, as some players found the hardest challenges available still not a match for their card-flinging prowess. There are some bonus changes too, so read the full notes below if you’d like to be spoiled!
Reworks:
Infest clarity rework. All cards with Infest can now give a +2 cost Metamorphose.
Card Buffs:
Impling: 3/1 => 3/2
Vein Drainer: Life cost to summon 2 => 1
Death March: Now also draws a card to give you more fuel to play out!
Card Nerfs:
Chanting Cultist: 1 Borrowed Life, +1 if you have another Cultist => +1 Borrowed Life flat.
Leviathan: 4 mana => 5 mana
Valdrada: 9/9 => 6/6
Faction Buffs:
Ravager Vent Crawler: 1/1 => 2/2
Empiricist Healing: 3 per combat => 2 per combat
Keeper’s Rites:
Most of the rites have been made significantly more punishing. Face an even greater challenge!
Major Bug Fixes:
Fixes a bug with Fearless, Skyscraper Sword and temporary buffs causing bouncing/unusual attack values.
Fixes odd behavior when trying to Double-Cast Swallow on a 1 hp unit.
