Friday Update – Multi-Shard!

Multi-Shard Cards

We’ve shown you the new keywords and themes from Armies of Myth, but we’ve been saving the best for last: multi-shard cards! These cards ask you for two different thresholds, but in return feature the most powerful effects we’ve ever seen! Five two-shard combinations can be found in this set, and the other five combinations will headline the following set.

Armies of Myth is for Ruby-Diamond decks. You pay X resources twice, get X random Unique troops once. So, if you put 5 resources total into Army of Myth, you would receive 1 random unique troop. If you put 7 resources, you would receive two random unique troops. You could get any of the Unique dragons like Zakiir or the leader of the humans, His Majesty, King Gabriel. You could even get The Triumvirate! Since unique troops tend to be the most powerful and resource-intensive cards in the game, you may be paying the cost twice on Army of Myth, but you’ll be far better than double the return on your investment.

With the set’s namesake card, you may just get lucky and find Lanupaw on your side. You can find Coyotles within Diamond, Wild, and Sapphire shards; Lanupaw draws power from all three to see into the future and deliver you a win. He’ll be a 5/5 nearly every time the turn after you play him, buffed from the card you just drew. Plus, if that’s not enough to take control of the game, you’ll still have two sick draws left just waiting for you in your deck.

If Lanupaw sounded familiar, you probably recognized him from The Accidental Knight. From the first HEX novel, Periwinkle is joining us as well. This Elf plays on the same theme you saw in Pupil of Creation, but this time it applies to all cards cost 5 or greater. Twice the troops, twice the action—heck, even twice the artifacts! Periwinkle will have your opponent seeing double!

Extended Art Cards

With the Armies of Myth patch, players will be able to unlock extended art cards. Originally, this feature was tied to the double-back. While the double-back is still in development, we were able to finish the extended art card display. We chose to move extended art off of the double back feature as the extended art feature is complete and we wanted players to have access to it as soon as possible. Players can unlock cards directly through gold as this rewards players who are actively playing HEX, and it’s the cleanest, most simple way for players to unlock their favorite art. The rates are as follows:

1,000g for common

2,000g for uncommon

4,000g for rare

10,000g for legendary

25,000g for alternate art

That unlocks one individual card. If you have multiple copies of a card, you will need to unlock each one. You’ll also be able to put these on the auction house and filter by extended art cards. You can check out some examples below.

VIP Tournaments May 29 – 31

This month brings two new alternate art rares to be won, and both are from Armies of Myth! Players can win Alternate Art Carnasaurus and Valiant Escort. Due to Armies of Myth cards not currently being available in the game, winners will receive these cards at a future date. Players will not receive these cards at the end of the event, nor will there be an item in your stash as a placeholder for these cards. (For reference, here you can see the regular Carnasaurus and Valiant Escort)

Cirouss’s Video

Hello everybody!

My name is Cirouss, I am a streamer for HEX on Twitch and I am very happy that I get the chance to let loose a few words in the Friday Update!

First off, I want to thank you all for being such a nice and awesome community. I am putting a lot of afford in my work with HEX and it more than a pleasure to do so because I am getting so much positive feedback and you are all very supportive to all the content creators out there, including myself of course.

Why do I get to write that stuff in the Friday update? Fair question.

In January I got invited by our Exalted community member Colin to the USA for the first time in my life and organized the HEX RAID 2015 in cooporation with Cryptozoic and Alucard. It was an amazing event!

During this event, I recorded a lot of interviews with the community members that have been there and many of the developers from HEX. It took me a long time to finish it, but I am more than proud to finally reveal the finished video.

The video is called “HEX – The Passion” and is giving you another point of view, why this game is as awesome as it is and why it can only be a great game. I also want to give a special thank you to Elysion who did the Audio editing & Mastering on this video.

I hope you enjoy this video as much as I do and I look forward to see many of you in my streams! Stay the way you are and we will keep being the best community that any game ever had!
