Hellcard Update 1.0.240528 Adjusts Arcane Wager and Adds Korean Beta

Hellcard patch 1.0.240528 rebalances the Arcane Wager card, fixes multiple game-state and tooltips bugs, and introduces a Korean translation to a testing branch.

Hellcard receives a backend-focused update that rebalances specific card mechanics and launches a Korean language beta branch for player testing.

Card Rebalancing

Arcane Wager receives a functional rework. The card distributes card draws to all heroes instead of only the player who played it, but restricts mana generation exclusively to the player who played it rather than granting it to the whole party.

Bug Fixes and UI Adjustments

Targeting a monster under a selected card causes the card to move out of the way. The patch removes the influence counter from the Blighted endless modifier, fixes AI Master and AI Overlord behaviors, and corrects incorrect modifier values on the Blighted torment tooltip. Additionally, Feedback Loop no longer fires a zero-damage projectile when player damage is blocked, and UI size changes no longer exploit card rewards.

Korean Translation Beta

A Korean translation is added to a Steam beta branch for community feedback. Players can access the beta by opening the game properties in Steam, navigating to the Betas tab, and entering the password AbandonHopeAllYeWhoEnterHere.
