Patch #400029
Greetings Skylords, Skyladies, and Skyfolks,

this is a minor update that contains mostly behind the scenes changes that were required for our maintenance we had on the 22nd of May. It also contains a new feature that allows players to see all of the boosters they have opened in the past!

General fixes
Fixed postgame screen (after a match) showing a negative BFP gain occasionally.  Players will no longer receive a warning in the middle of their screen that their in-game mailbox is full while in-game. Improved numerous tooltips in the in-game Rankings page. General changes
The selected auction duration will not reset to its default after placing the auction. Instead it will stay at the last selected auction duration. All Snapjaws Promo are now tradeable. They still cannot be obtained from boosters. Changed the `Complete Quests` achievement to reward an All-Editions booster every 20 completed quests. Removed the `Latest Booster` button and replaced it with a `History` button that will open a window showing the complete history of opened boosters for that player.

I am sorry: everyone works on this in their free time and the weekend is a good time for us because then most developers have time to help.


With that being said, servers are up and running again!
@XT2RY4

Basically just a QoL for the map.
 
Reduce the Amii Screaming Stone's initial cooldown. It doesn't really need to take two minutes after Viridya's dialogue ends. 

Everyone submits their replay in which they show how they achieved a certain amount of points. Instead of looking at all submissions as one pool, we will divide the submissions into two pools (Novice and Expert) depending on the points. We will not disclose in what group you are in with a certain amount of points. Primary goal of this is to avoid having very good players claim all the rewards, as now we will also look at the "top" novice players.

Hello Skylords, Skyladies and other Skybeings.
It has been a long time, but we are finally about to start the first official PvE event since release.
We hope you will have a lot of fun with this event!

What will the event be?
PvE - Siege of Hope - Expert Challenge with a point system. 

When will it start?
We will accept entries starting from 25.05.2021 00:00 CEST.

The event will run for 3 weeks, you have time until mid June. To be specific: 15.06.2021 23:59 CEST.
You can send your replays through DM to me in Discord (Minashigo Hiko#1126) or through a PM to me on the forum.

How can I participate?

No need to sign-up, just send in your best replay including the categories (see below) you think you have achieved. Note: you can only participate with a victory.
For example: "Low points: a, c, d Total: 800; Medium points: h, i Total: 1200; High points: all Total: 2200"

Please note: we will only accept the first won replay you send in, so make sure it's your best try!

You can find your replays here: Documents=>Battleforge=>replays

Nice and where is the difficulty?

Sounds fun and what's the prize pool?

There will be two prize pools: Novice and Expert. Submissions will be categorized in one of those two groups depending on how many points the submission has: if the submission has a low amount of points it will be in the Novice group and if it has a high amount of points it will be in the Expert group. We will not disclose in what category a submission belongs, in the case of a draw, the faster time ranks higher. Each group has different rewards and all booster packs are the standard (all-editions) booster packs.

Expert prize pool 

1st place              Promo of your choice   + 4 Booster packs
2nd place             Promo Razorleaf          + 2 Booster packs
3rd- 8th place     3 Booster packs

Novice prize pool 

1st place             4 Booster packs
2nd place            3 Booster packs
3rd- 8th place    1 Booster packs

Wait, there is more!
The following award will be given out by the community at the end of the challenge.
Every participant can nominate themselves for the Community Award (only those who apply for the award will be able to win it).

The voting for the winner will take place on Twitch, where we will reveal the contest winners as well.
https://www.twitch.tv/skylordsreborn

The Community Award:

The Creative Kill
 
The One who showed the Twilight Infester their dominance.
--> Kill the final boss as uniquely as possible.
       For example: try not to use the same units as another participant for the final kill.
       This will decrease the chance for both of you to win this category.
 4 Booster packs

 

Some Clarification

In conclusion
This event is unlike anything we have done so far, so it might be a bit overwhelming. Here is in simple steps what you must do to participate:
- The map to play on is Siege of Hope on Expert Difficulty
- Look at the categories and points you wish to achieve and do your best to clear the map earning as many points as possible.
- Once you are satisfied with your result, DM (Minashigo Hiko#1126 in Discord) or PM (in forum) your best replay to me. You can only send in once.
- Make sure to add a description of the categories (points) you went for and completed!
- If you want to apply for the community reward (The Creative Kill), make sure to mention that as well. 
- Wait until the end of the contest (15.06.2021 23:59 CEST) to see if you have won some prizes!
- We will announce them in a stream on the 26.06.2021 19:00 CEST


Future events
If you are interested in creating events like this for the community or if you want to help with creating events, don't be afraid and simply send me a direct message via Discord (name as above) or a PM to me on the forum. We are happy to assist you with upcoming events and with sponsoring your prize pool!
We hope you have a lot of fun with this event. We are looking forward to all your replays!
Please do not hesitate to ask, if you have any questions.

Best regards,
Skylords Reborn Team

You are responding to an old message. We are able to apply any global ability we want (within the game's possibilities ofc).

1. Charge:
The number of charges a card has is the number of times you can play that card in a single game, before it has to recharge. Recharging takes 0.5 seconds per 1 power cost of the card. For example a Giant Wyrm would need to recharge for 150 seconds (2.5 Minutes). You can see the number of charges at the card itself and you can upgrade the charges in the upgrade window when you have multiple copies of the same card.
2. Spells in rPvE:
There were probably Twilight Negators around. They look like twilight versions of swiftclaws and you can't use any spells next to them.
3. BfP:
You get a daily amount of 350 (correct me if I'm wrong) BfP after playing for 45 minutes. If you play less, you still get a fraction of the BfP. Afterwards, you can slowly drain your BfP reserve (max. 250 BfP), which slowly refills over time. Additionally, you have 2 daily quests, which give 75 BfP each.
4. Patch Notes
https://forum.skylords.eu/index.php?/forum/33-updates/
5. Story maps:
Did you also play all the 2 and 4 player maps?

Right now all decks you make are just in a giant dump that you have to filter with names and/or which orbs they contain.
As someone who doesn't focus on any particular deck not only did I hit the 100 cap a few times and had to clean up, I also naturally have a giant list of decks. But I noticed that there are already something like subfolders present. Namely "General" and "Beginner". My suggestion is to implement the feature of creating such folders yourself and the ability to open/close them.

As far as I know nobody gets banned for having a different vision how the game should be. Would be interesting if you elaborate where you got that perception from.

 

Greetings Skylords!

It's been two weeks since our first community update so it's time to bring you up to speed with everything going on in Skylords Reborn!
PvP Balance Patch 2 (Patch 400028)
We released a patch filled with balance changes this week. You can check out the detailed patch notes on the Wiki.
Some 1vs1 maps have also been changed (no more offensive walling!) and are now added to ranked play as well. 
In the meantime, we are already setting our sights on Balance Patch 3. You can check out the upcoming changes in the document attached to this post. Those changes will hit the test server much earlier than the previous ones. This is an intended move as it allows us to work with more iterations to make sure a lot of fine tuning can be done. This patch is focused more on buffs, and many of the changes will bring some new strategies into the Forge, that require more testing compared to the previous process. On top of that this will also be an opportunity for you to test the changes a little bit longer as well to provide more playtesting feedback, that we can use to reevaluate our proposals. To join the discussion, please check out the balance discord.

PvE: State of PvE

This is the second Balance Patch focused on mostly PvP changes. We understand this might give the impression PvE is less important for us. We would like to take a bit of time to assure you this is not the case and give you an idea of things that are currently being worked on.
First of all, you can expect our Design Philosphy to be shared soon. This document was a bit delayed, but we think it's important to have a clear vision of the PvE scene going forward so everyone knows what to expect and give a better explanation of why we do the things we do.
 Of course you can always share your personal feedback in the balance discord, even if we don't respond immediately, all the feedback is important to us and is discussed. We are also planning to restructure the balance discord, you will hear more on that subject soon.
PvE is a lot harder to balance than PvP, because the playerbase is very divided on what they consider fun, fair, or part of the coregame. We know not everyone will agree with all the changes we will make in the future. We encourage you to provide feedback, but please do so in a constructed manner. We are all fans of the game, and we want what's best for it. 
PvE: Patch
Speaking of changes, there is also a PvE patch coming up. Just like with our PvP patches, we will test those changes out on the Test Server first and make adjustments where necessary. You can find all the upcoming changes in the document attached to this post.

PvE: In Development
Some cool things are also coming to PvE in the future. They are currently in various stages of development.
- Defensive Random PvE mode
Similar to a 4 player Random PvE, but instead of attacking you are defending against random enemies. We hope this will provide a fun twist to the rPvE scene. 

- Random PvE presets rework
We are reworking existing rPvE factions and adding the 4 basic elements as factions. This means in the future you might go up against Harvesters and Fire Dragons. 
- Polishing Battle Arena 
Some of you might already be familiar with Battle Arena, a fun PvP map where you get one random unit and have to score points by killing the other units. Once your unit dies, you get a new one and move slowly up the tiers. 
- New World Map Overview
Still in its early stages, but we are also considering adjusting the world map to include popular PvE community maps. There are some great gems hidden in the community map section and there might be great content waiting for you out there already that you have never discovered. 
Most of those things are not ready to go public yet, and we will use the community updates to keep you up to date on their progress. We found it important to share them with you already to show we have definitely not forgotten the PvE scene. We are always in need of map testers, map artists and map creators however, so if you want to help, please check out our open positions. 

Public Test Server
Some of you might not be aware of how easy it is to play on the test server, so here is a quick reminder. To get to the test server, all you have to do is start "LauncherTest.exe" in you Battleforge folder. On the test server you can check out the new changes that are currently being tested and provide feedback on the balancing discord. To get back to the official server, all you have to do is launch the normal launcher again. 

Upcoming Tournaments

• Skylords Open 7
This sunday (9th of May) you can again battle it out in the Skylords Open #7. A 1vs1 community tournament hosted by Toggy, open for everyone, and with prices! 
• Community Challenge 3
There is also a PvE contest going on until the 31th of May. Try to complete the community map King's Ridge as fast as you can in the Community Challange #3 for a chance to win some prices!
There are also some new events in the works, which brings us to the next point:

New Team Members
We are happy to announce two new team members have joined the Skylords Reborn team. 
First up is Minashigo Hiko, our new Event Organiser. He will be the go-to person for people who want to organize an event in Skylords Reborn. Got a cool PvE contest idea or do you want to host a PvP tournament so Toggy can actually play instead of host? Please contact Hiko and he will help you make it happen! Hiko is also hard at work at creating fun events for you to play, so look forward to that as well. 
We would like to point out that the event organizer role is not exclusive. If you want to help organizing events, you can still apply for this position as well.
We are also very excited to have MarcoMaar join the team as our new Client Developer. He will be responsible for adding new features, modifying user interfaces, or fixing bugs in our game client. Up until recently, he was working on a new ingame section, where you are able to see all of your opened boosters. Below, you can see a sneak peek of this new feature


We are still looking for new team members however! For example, we currently have a lack of Discord Moderators, which actually prevents us from being very active with our marketing (in the current state we would risk being overrun with new players without moderators). If you want to see Skylords Reborn succeed, please take a look at how you can help. We will also added new positions: backend web developer, frontend web developer and C# developer.

List of Discord channels
Skylords Reborn is a big project, and it can be tricky to keep track of everything that is going on. To help you with this we have started these very community updates, but if you want to be right there where the discussions are, discord is the place to be. Below you can find a complete list of all Skylords Reborn discords and their roles. If a discord channel is missing, please reach out to @Majora. We also created a #discord channel in our official server where you can also find the list of servers.

PvE_Testserver_Iteration_for_PvE_Patch.pdf PvP_Testserver_Iteration_for_PvP_Patch_3.pdf

usualy with your rank u have playd this game for -+ 1 year. This happens if u only Grind Feeder in Bad harvest and then get Rank PVE 17+. Witout this Bad harvest grind u did, u would know every map very well, and all of them can bi done Solo (exept of Empire and 12player maps) So i do not rly understand ur anger. Its your own fault. 
 
and just to notice: If u have trouble finding  people to play with, just join into discord. There are many times player online who play with u, and carry u trough the maps. 
 
sorry for the harsh choice of words, by the way. but there's really no other way than to say: it's your own fault. 

Is proud of ,,not playing by the book'' - plays curse well lmao
Curse well was one of the lamest most played cards in the top 100. If you don't want to play by the book try one of the cards devs carefully buffed to achieve more diversity. Getting a little annoyed by people getting a whole meal for free and complain because one of the side dishes is not exactly their taste. I'm totally fine with well mannered feedback/criticism like Chronopie did, but if i read something like ,,again devs ruining the game'' i gotta stay away from the forum for a while...

I agree, as a Mounty abuser myself, that this mountaineer patch is maybe too hard of a hit.

But I wouldnt agree to your statement, that this patch makes it comfortable to 10-20 main stream by the book players as mountaineer itself was just a too toxic card who won many matchups by just existing.
They basically removed that every game looks the same and I hope they will soon look over to stonekin.

I understand that you and other players may not agree to this patch, but you cant patch everything for everyone. 
There are always, in every game, players who think that because their unit got nerfed/removed nearly killed, that they are forced on the mainstream.. but its the opposite!
Let this encourage you to maybe try other decks? Maybe go Lost souls T2.. play frost fire.. who knows.
You have a deck made out of 20 cards, it is very rare that every deck is similar.
 
Edit:

And Aura of Corruption is not ruined.. just adjusted.

You obviously didn't notice they reworked a lot of the maps so that frost now has much better chances of gaining mapcontrol / defending swift rushes.

The discord was created in 2019 by a developer who went off on his own, and didn't even consult the rest of the team before creating that discord. Hence the discord was not considered official, and shortly laid to rest a few months later. In Summer 2020 we decided to start rolling out balance changes to the test server. The announcement in the main discord was literally made before we even rolled out the first changes to the test server.

There is currently a bug where if you deploy the Incredible Mo (select the Insidious Mo Aura) and after that you use Mind Control on an enemy unit, the converted unit will maintain the debuff (Insidious Mo Aura) even though it became your unit.
The weird thing is that in the Forge this does not happen, only in maps.

Hi! New player here, I am enjoying game very much so far. I've never played Battleforge before, so this is new experience for me and I can share some feedback from the perspective of a brand new player.
The idea of this game is great and the mechanics are quite simple and intuitive. However I struggled a bit with getting to know cards and with deckbuilding - which is quite common in all card games, but can be more or less improved.
The thing that this games lack in my opinion is the possibility to view all cards available in game, with already owned cards highlited (not only cards that you own, which is the case now). It would greatly improve deckbuilding possibilities and players creativity - you would be able to always check which cards would improve your deck or which ones fits best, which ones would create best synergy and so on. This would also help new players to get to know cards better.
I hope you'll find those suggestions helpful.
Cheers!

I can give my advice on a budget lost souls deck with shadow as the starting orb. I'll share what I consider the most useful cards that are also relatively cheap. I won't talk about pure shadow since you need a bunch of very expensive cards (500+ bfp each) to make it work, and I don't have a lot of experience with pure frost.
 
Card names will be a hyperlink to the wiki for reference.
T1 (1 shadow orb):
Units: Nox Trooper is well worth the 100 bfp and their ability allows them to focus critical targets or CC small units since they knock them down. 5-10 of them will get you through most camps just fine, even on advanced. Nightguard (40-100 bfp depending on affinity) can be incredibly useful in some maps due to her ability to take control over enemy units. Some maps spawn L mobs to attack you and she can steal most of them. She turns hostile after you use the ability but she's easy to kill.
Spells/buildings: I recommend including Decomposer (10 bfp) so that you can recycle your units after you get your third orb. When paired with Furnace of Flesh at T2 you can get most of your power back instantly.
Most of the useful spells and buildings at T1 costs 100+ bfp so I don't recommend getting cards like Soul Splicer (g) or Motivate until have your core cards in other orb levels. I recommend avoiding risky cards like Nasty Surprise unless you know what you're doing.
 
T2 (1 shadow 1 frost):
Units: Lost Reaver (r) is only 12 bfp and is an incredible creature with a lot of health and damage. I use red affinity since it's ability helps clear the early camps very quickly with minimal losses as long as you keep the bugs it spawns away from your own units. You'll want to have some ranged unit to accompany Lost Reaver to fight against air. Nox troopers are usually good enough for that purpose and you should already have some around when you hit T2.
Spells: Coldsnap (250 bfp) can be very useful. Most of the good spells at T2 are in the hundreds or thousands of BFP so Cold Snap is a good start.
Buildings: It's very important to include a reliable defensive building at T2, and Lost Launcher (3-12 bfp) fits the bill. 2-4 of them will hold on most maps, especially when behind fortifications.
Since you'll be building a lot of structures, it's also useful to include Construction Hut (70 bfp) to save a lot of power on structures and speed up construction time.
Furnace of Flesh (45 bfp) is useful as I mentioned before. You can build it at locations where you expect enemies to attack so you can harvest their corpses while defending or use it to recycle your own units.
 
T3 (1 shadow, 1 frost, 1 shadow or frost):
Units: You can't go wrong with Lost Horror (g) (20 bfp). 3 of them can take care of most minor camps. Lost Grigori (100 bfp) can be useful if you have the spare BFP. After upgrading him you get a disintegrate ability which you can use to take down the really tough XL enemy units as long as they're not boss units with leader immunities.
Buildings/spells: Most of the really useful cards here are prohibitively expensive for beginners (hundreds or thousands of BFP). Your T2 and T3 cards should still get the job done here.
 
T4 (2 shadow, 2 frost):
Units: Here you'll want a good frontline tank and high damage ranged units behind it. You mentioned you already own Lost Spirit Ship and it's an excellent ranged unit. You can also include Necrofury (35 bfp) or Construct for added damage, though it takes a bit of micro to make use of Necrofury since you have to switch between walking mode and the stationary siege mode. Unfortunately, most good tank units are very expensive so there are no real "budget" options. You could probably survive with just ranged units if you play carefully.
Buildings/Spells: A lot of the stuff here is either very expensive or not beginner-friendly. Unholy Hero can give one of your units a massive damage boost but you risk hurting your own units as well by its effect. Most other spells are very situational.
 
Once you have your core deck, I recommend saving for some of the cards and combos that are so good they're almost cheating, such as:
- Amii Monument: You get to skip right to T4 instead of having to rely on the comparatively weaker T3 creatures.
- Nether Warp (g): This card has so many uses. You can use it to jump over walls and barriers, climb up or down hills (takes precision), or displace enemy units.
-  Infect + Frenetic Assault (p): Bases with lots of small and medium units will practically clear themselves with this combo. Especially strong in RPVE.
-  Worldbreaker Gun + Skyelf Sage + Skyelf Commander combo: You can clear a base in 2 seconds with 2 WBGs that are put in snowball mode and boosted by Skyelf Sages. Skyelf Commander can help them survive against strong waves while defending.
 
Besides that, there are plenty of interesting decks, strategies and combos left to explore so there's a lot to discover while playing.
Hope this helps and best of luck!
 

it's been a sh*tty week for me in all aspects, so my best run after more than a week is still almost 25min...
20210426_000252_12102_PvE_01p_Ocean.pmv

Just to know. As example: in Ocean ADv community challange, i decidet to NOT use the Shrine, just cause its not even Worth to use. In this map, like i many otheres, there are just not enough units around to Freeze in a effectiv way. The 8% is maby ok for Rpve, but in cPVE its just not usefull in most cases.
 
if u intrestet, i can show replays after challange is done, with and without this crappy Shrine

The thing is, in normal cPvE it´s not that much of a Problem, but in rPvE the Power refund is insane, since there are constantly enemies dying.
I propose that it should get a cap - a max Power refund during one activation.
Either:
1. let it not return more than ~500 Power
2. or better dynamically: let it not return more that 70% of your void power (from the timestamp when activated e.g. you have 1000 void at the beggining and it can max. return 700)
3. during one activation your Voidpower can´t go below a certain point (f.e. not lower than 200 Voidpower)
4. let it cap at a certain count of died enemies - a.e. after ~5 enemies died, it wont return any more void when another enemie dies
 
What do you think? Since Shrine of Memories also has a max cap (at +20 pwer-refund as far as i know) it would make sense if other shrines had a cap aswell.

Possible paradox: 2-3 min BH runs make some new people grind more than less. New players see/hear how easy it is to get gold and a shiny rank with these runs and stop caring about the rest of the game and don't check out other maps and modes. I don't think that's a good introduction to this game. Yeah, old players dont want to grind, but we're still on the same page when we say we want to get and keep new players, right?

Hi! I don't know at all where to put this, because it is not a bug, nor a suggestion, ... So here it is!
With the slaver, regarding the tainted blowout (jaillissement impur) of this card, in english it says "if the unit dies it will trigger an explosion". I have tested this out, it is true. But in french, as you can see (if you understand it) it says: "If the unit dies or is transformed, it will trigger an explosion". I couldn't understand it at all, because after some testing, there were nothing after a transformation (but it works well if the unit dies)! So I decided to look at the english version of this card in the forum's cardlist aaannnd... Mistranslation!
So the adequate french version is: "Si l'unité meurt ou est transformée, elle provoque une explosion". I bought this card just for this... At least it knocks back small units.
 
Another one with the hatecaster, another card bought for 15 BFP for nothing. It is the last sentence: "Futhermore, they will not be immune to paralyse after the effect wears off" (De plus, elles ne reçoivent aucune immunité contre la paralysie une fois rétablies). Yes they do! It is the gifted evaporation that does not immune, not the tainted one!
The adequate french version is: "Elles sont ensuite immunisées contre la paralysie pendant 10 secondes".
 
I want my BFPs back
 
I found again another one, is there a way to report all of them without making a huuuuge post ?

I did some tests and bandit inflantry is a lot weaker then expected - because bandit buffs are non cumulative

screen contains a test of Dark Spere Riffle Cultist with each of buffs (40%>30%>20%) and "cumulative buffs" that always have the damage of the highest buff... so no way to get more than 50%

Is it a bird? Is it a plane?
No! It's a worm! And he has a new little tool for you!
 
Hello Everyone,
today I want to present you a little tool I have been working on recently, which some of you might find useful.
I call it the "Skylords Ultimate Battle Simulator", or SUBS for short. It is a small tool that let's you simulate power levels of two players in a game of Skylords.
What does that mean?
It means that SUBS can track power pool, void pool, number of power wells and value of the standing army for two players and enables you to interact with those numbers! This allows you to, for example, simulate PvP fights with multiple units and spells played, wells built and kicked and then later check, who is ahead in terms of power. Or you can use it to see how much power a player would have in a PvE scenario after playing some spells/units/buildings and might be helpful in planning power efficient speedrunning strategies.
But let's look at some screenshots:

This is the main window of SUBS. On the very left you see the current power, void, well and army values for both players. Next to it you see the inflow of power every 2 second (the same numbers as you can see ingame). Between the numbers for the two players is a button that says "Toggle powerflow". This button starts/pauses the flow of power from your wells/void to the power pool. When you start the program, it will be stopped by default. Let's see what happens, when we start it and wait for some time:

As you might have expected, some of the power from the void has flown into the power pool. Additionally, some power from the wells has flown into the power pool as well. You can pause the flow by clicking the button again. This allows you to estimate the situation in further detail.
But let's continue with the exploration of the main window. Next to the current values, there are two buttons "Build Well" and "Kick Well". These buttons do what you expect from them - building a well takes away 100 power and adds a well, kicking one just takes away a well without giving any refund.
Then there is the "Spells" column. This, obviously, allows you to simulate the casting of spells. If you click on the "cast" button next to any of the power costs, that much power will be taken out of the power pool and 90% will be added to the void pool.
Lastly, there is the "Units and buildings" column. There you can spawn units and buildings with a certain value by clicking the respective "spawn" button. This takes power from the power pool and adds it to the value of your standing army. You can kill the unit by clicking the "kill" button. This will remove its cost from the standing army and add 90% of it to the void.
That's all there is right now in terms of functionality, but I plan to extend it a bit, at least so much, that you can play cards with other costs than the ones hard coded right now and that you can change the starting values without messing with the source code.
"That sounds cool! How can I use it?"
The program itself is written in Python3 using the tkinter library. So it should run on most operating systems without any problems, if you have python installed. You can find the source code of the program at my github page. Just download it from there, go to the src/ directory and run the file main.py in python.
https://github.com/Metagross31/SUBS
If you want to change the starting values of power etc., open the file config/default.txt in a text editor and change it from the values given to whatever value you like.
In the following video I show you how to use SUBS:
That's it for now, I hope you find this interesting. If so, I will definitely continue to work on it and keep you all updated. If you have any suggestions on what to add or how to implement it, feel free to ask them here!
