Epic Cards Battle v2.0

Version 2.0 of Epic Cards Battle was rolled out yesterday. Players are in for a treat since there are some new cards available that will spice up their stale decks. Here are just some of the cards that I was able to check out.





Amplifier is the Overpower / Slashing Strike / Shadow Assault for cards with Special Attack. Monk users can now boost their card's attack to up to 200% given its innate ability and with the help of this card.

Is your opponent always beating you to the punch? Why not add in this card to your deck which might guarantee that your units attack first (that is if your units have a low base cooldown - no point using this on Treant). Art has some Quicksilver influence. This card can be easily obtained by beating Quest 8-8 in Normal mode. And speaking of Quests, v2.0 comes with 5 additional ones. This was kind of disappointing. I was hoping there would be more quests and opportunities to get more cards.

When I first encountered Panda Man in the new quest, I thought it was pretty strong. But once it is weakened, his attack goes down. Boost him with HP adding cards.

Priest is one of the cards to watch out for IMHO in this expansion. (I think they should have called the card Nun) She heals adjacent units whenever she attacks. Want to test her out in a Succubus deck.

Are you tired of those Tauren Axe and Kitty Girl decks? Perhaps you can try to counter them with White Tiger Taoist since he has an edge against cards with Chaos Attack Type.

I don't know if the invite code still works since this can no longer be found in the rewards menu. But in case you are starting out, and you see an option to place in an invite code, you can try 844cb. Hopefully, you'll get a three star card.

The Gallery no longer shows all available cards in this game. It only shows the cards you own, and what's sad is that you have to use your coins in order to unlock them and see their stats and abilities. (Just go to "My Cards" to save money).

So if your an Epic Cards Battle Player, this new update should be fun for you and should renew your interest in the game. I hope that in the future, the developers of this game will allow free players (those who spend time instead of money) a more realistic means of getting access to 4 star and 5 star cards. Kudos to the makers of this game. I really enjoy the idea of designing a simple deck and just observing (instead of actively making decisions in real-time) how it fares against other decks. I hope that this game lasts for many years. As long as the devs make sure that there are frequent events and infusions of new cards, even if its just a few, it should prevent the fan base from losing interest. And that is important in keeping a game relevant.

P.S. For the next update, why don't you change the Epic Cards Battle logo. It's a piece of _ _ _ _!

Addendum:

The invite code reward is back. Again, you can use 844cb if you want.
