Tamer Vale Update Patch Notes on April 8, 2024

✅ Source verified via Steam Community

• Patch Title: Update v1.8 – New Cards and Balancing Polish
• Patch Release Date: April 8, 2024.

The developer of Tamer Vale has released a new update for the game on April 8, 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. 

4 New cards for Elaria

• Corrosion/ Spiritual Corrosion- She can help bring down the enemies shields for her non-piercing spirits.
• Energy Channeling – an additional way to increase her summons’ damage
• Devout Oath – an additional way to increase her summons’ faith

Elaria’s major changes

• Spirits’ starting faith equals its summoning cost, e.g. Wolf Spirit now starts with 2 faiths when being summoned. This is a bigger change than it sounds to be, as it affects multiple strategies, it also makes the battle flow a bit smoother.
• Spirits won’t lose Faith if there is no target for them to attack during their turn. e.g. when all the undead enemies are yet to revive.
• The art of multiple cards has been updated to create a visual connection among those with similar abilities.

Difficulty balancing affecting all characters

• Most enemies start with at least a bit of shield. Those that have just added a starting shield will now have less HP
• Overall difficulty increased slightly, as the additional enemy shields increase the need to consider incorporating previously less used cards into different strategies.
• Easy mode also become slightly less easy.
