The latest update is here and it brings more of the lore of Lightseekers to the forefront, along with a number of other much asked for features, such as multi queuing!

Multi-Queuing

You are now able to queue for multiple game modes at the same time! While in a queue, you can simply go into the Versus menu and queue up for any other game, with decks chosen individually for each of the modes.

Lore Pages

Under the Library -> Collectables you will now find a new Lore section. Here, there are over 350 lore entries to collect. Lore entries range from information about the different races of Tantos, important historical events, descriptions of different locations around the world, to character profiles, and more! Most of them are told from the perspective of in-world characters, giving their personal perspectives on what’s going on in the world.

Lore pages can primarily be earned from loot chests. Level-up chests have a chance to contain them and Premium Chests are guaranteed to give you a L...

Following on from the earlier Dev Insight about upcoming balancing changes, this is the first in a series of articles that will go a bit further in depth about what those changes are, along with some reasons behind the changes. We’re starting off with the Buff removal cards; Pathfinder, Shadow Puppet, Crystal Leech, Reckless Spirit, Thunder Slug, and Hammerdown Enforcer (along with a few Combos).

Buff removal cards have been some of the most iconic and game changing cards in Lightseekers. They have purposefully always been slightly overtuned, and the original design behind them were a set of three cards players were expected to run in almost all decks, and add some risk-vs-reward mechanics to play around.

However, due to how powerful they are, there have always been problems and frustrations surrounding them. With the use of items, some decks ran more than three of these cards. In order to avoid being shut down by these heavy removal decks, other decks then tried to avoid running Buffs...

The post Patch Notes – June 12th appeared first on Lightseekers Cards.

Since the release of Lightseekers’ latest expansion, Uprising, one of the most hotly debated cards in the community has been Cage of Oppression. So, we figured it’d be a good idea to talk about it.

Design Objectives

Why did we make Cage of Oppression? What were our intentions behind it?

Objective 1: It should be good into ‘stall decks’.

By ‘stall deck’, we mean a deck where the only objective is to outlast all of the opponent’s cards, without actually trying to reduce their health to 0. Often, these decks aren’t even trying to discard the opponent’s cards proactively, but just aim to be able to take more actions throughout the game. This leads to some very long, and often frustrating and anticlimactic, games. Hence why we want to give players a suitable tool to compete with them.

Objective 2: It can’t be too niche.

This is a mistake we’ve made with counter cards in the past. The cards have been given an effect that is strong into the type of deck it was designed to be strong against,...

Abyss Tentacle Errata

To start off with, let’s first make it clear that we are not opposed to “indefinite sources of damage”, and this by itself is not why Abyss Tentacle was changed. There is a big discussion about what warrants good or bad indefinite damage, but that’s for another time. The reason we changed Abyss Tentacle is because of the rate this damage can be dealt.

When we design cards, we effectively give them a budget to spend on effects. Negative side effects, strict conditions, waiting times, or which Order it belongs or doesn’t belong to may increase this budget. This factors into the “economy” of the game (how you choose to spend your actions and what return they give; either immediately or over time).

When Abyss Tentacle was first created, Dread did not have very convenient access to Abilities that were immediately “on par” in terms of return on investment. To elaborate on what we mean by this, let’s take a plain damage card, such as Mantix Spitter, as an example. Here...
