Recent Chronicles
Chronicle 1.14 — Carrion Tides
This week- Raven Center rebalance: scouting range +10%, return time normalized.
- Sanctuary Tier VIII unlocked — new tower variant, slower research.
- Ember Court event returns with new milestone rewards.
Zarael's take: A net positive for active alliances. Solo grinders should hold tincture for two weeks before committing to Tier VIII.
Chronicle 1.13 — The Hollow Pyre
Last month- Vael nerfed — debuff duration reduced by 1.5s.
- Mira buffed — burst heal cooldown reduced.
- New PvE objective added to KvK Day 3.
Zarael's take: Mira moves into A-tier. Vael is still strong but no longer mandatory in every comp.
Chronicle 1.12 — Ash & Tincture
Two months ago- Economy rework: tincture decay slowed.
- Research costs adjusted for early game.
- Daily quest rewards rebalanced.
Zarael's take: Strictly easier for new players. Catch-up mechanics are now meaningful.
