Update 0.36

Patch notes v0.36 May 21, 2025 Update 0.36 Balance changes ↓ New features This update is Hero focused and adds new mechanics for each hero including: Hero Paths These are additional reward roads for each Hero, which contain new Hero Skins, Wild Cards, and other rewards. We have split the normal hero unlocks like stats and item unlocks, and the Hero Chests, so the chests go into the free section of the hero path. You must own a hero to access the hero path. Elite Hero levels When a hero maxes out their normal levels, they unlock Elite Levels. These have no max level. Random hero selection A new ‘?’ icon has been added to the hero selection. This will select from all the heroes you have available and give you a +25% experience bonus for that run. The party doesn’t end there, and we also include new features beyond that: 11 new player banners These are unlocked when each hero reaches level 20. Wild Cards These are joker cards which you can convert to any card in the same rarity. Hero Bundles We’ve changed the hero bundles, so you can put together your own bundle of adding Hero Path and level 10 boost at a discount if you so choose. Hero experience We’ve now raised the base hero experience gained by 5 XP per won game, and added XP bonuses to the Free Hero Path and premium hero path. Rat King is dead! Long live the new Rat Royalty! Rat infestation! Rataclysm! Ratapocalypse! They’re everywhere! Rat King has been removed from the game, and approximately 18 new has entered the game. For those of you who had Rat King leveled up, all his cards are converted to Mythic Wild Cards and the coin cost is refunded to you. A few new cheeses have also affinaged - you see, it’s a gouda update. Quality of Life Dorf items have been added to various spawn and event tables Increased the Mining Relic multipliers 1,5,10 → 1,10, 25 Relics moved to Item Collection Improved Fight Log Google Play Games PC users can now use portrait mode from Advanced Settings Popup Items that have counters on them during combat for , , or will now emit a flying number, when the item counter changes Bonus Chests are now always Gold chests Visuals All items and heroes have gotten a visual makeover. In our ongoing quest to improve the visual expression of the game, we have improved the art for each item and hero. We hope you love the new looks. Most, if not all, of our UI icons have also been overhauled and are now more consistent, stylized and cleaner. Fixes Pet Collar now only grants and per Baby Core Creeper no longer destroys remaining Lava Rocks while attempting to create a Molten Core Creeper if one or more are removed by other items or recipes. Fixed that Fire Lord’s Brand did not include the max value as a possibility, e.g. 1-3 would only ever roll 1 or 2. Same for other items that used variations of between one value and another roll. Fixed excessive merge labels for some incomplete item combinations Updated tooltips for many items from ‘Resist X ’ → ‘Gain X ’ Parts Satchel now only spawns parts per inside Sales now work properly in all regions This update ships with balance changes — see the full 0.36 balance breakdown .
