Hello everyone! Are you ready for a really big update? *** # **Adventure Update**  Animation Throwdown will have FIVE new Adventure chapters added to the game - one for each show. * Yug Ylimaf * Wharf Horse * Hayley Smith, Seal Team Six * Roswell that Ends Well * Smoking and the Bandit In addition to the new chapters, a new difficulty level will be available on ALL levels known as "Onyx" difficulty. As previously stated, Adventure is receiving a rewards update. Once a player completes a section of a level, they will receive the reward listed in the pool as a guaranteed drop, but will not be able to obtain the reward again. Players who have already completed the levels will have to play the levels once more in order to receive the rewards retroactively. Example: If you've completed all of 3-1, you will need to replay and win 3-1 once again to receive the entire reward pool. The reward pool will also be updated to: * 4 copies of a Common for Bronze completion. * 2 copies of a Rare for Silver completion. * 1 Epic for Gold completion. * 1 Epic for Onyx completion. Here is an example screenshot:  Players that complete the new Onyx difficulty will gain access to new grindable rewards, including Giggitywatts & Golden Turds. # **Golden Turds**  A new currency is coming to Throwdown! Golden Turds are grindable Adventure currency that will allow you to buy Golden Turd packs! Golden Turd packs will contain cards that have traits that match with the current Battleground Effect. # **New Hero** This new hero looks good. Tilda Swinton good. # **Skill Icon/Animation Update** You've already seen part of our updates to the skill Animations, but with the update some remaining skills and animations will receive a facelift. Here is a list of the before and after icons:  And here is a video of some of the animations in action (a few raw cut videos of various skill animations): https://cdn1.kongcdn.com/assets/files/0002/0234/NewAnimation1_1.mp4 # **Steam Info** Animation Throwdown is coming to Steam next week.

If I have already completed 1-1 (all rewards unlocked), I will need to play it once more (and win) and then I will gain everything in the reward pool for 1-1: Bertram, which includes 4 Common cards, 2 Rare cards, and 1 Epic cards. If you have yet to finish the Onyx level (as it's not released yet), you will have to complete that difficulty to get the remaining reward left.

Not at release, but this doesn't mean more won't be added in the future.

It does damage to adjacent cards. Think of it as if the cards attack is now a bomb and there is splash damage the adjacent cards take. However, this is something I can bring to the team for additional review as I can see how it could use an update. > *Originally posted by **[eggonadish](/forums/727066/topics/745404?page=2#11204457)**:* > So if I've completed the adventure levels I'll have to play them all again from the beginning to get the cards but I can pick from any, they remain unlocked, plus bronze, silver and gold for 5 more levels, plus "onyx" levels that go from level 1-30,.... can i just play the last boss on the level to gain all the cards?... how high can my level go up to now? I am not entirely sure I understand. If you have completed the entire level on Gold, you will need to complete the first star on Onyx and all the previous rewards will be unlocked. You do not need to finish all of Onyx, but grindable rewards won't be available until you complete it. > *Originally posted by **[hidsan](/forums/727066/topics/745404?page=2#11204856)**:* > hm... what about Giggitywatts in Golden Turd packs?

You mentioned giggity watts and golden turds, is there anything else? Epic and/or legendary stones perhaps? Will you get one thing at a time (watts only for example), will you get multiple things every time (watts and turds), or will you sometimes get one thing and other times get multiple things? Just GW and Turds right now. > *Originally posted by **[Jelleee2ndacount](/forums/727066/topics/745404?page=3#11206576)**:* > At which time or particular moment of time can we expect the update (1couple days, week, weeks or even a month?)

Hey shiny, Thecards that are in the golden turd packs...are those to be every input card that has to do with that bge? Including legendaries?

So when you complete an adventure level you already have Gold on once, you will get all the retroactive rewards? The wording for you get a prize for each section confused me a little... say I have gold on 1-1, would there be 9 rewards for each section? Or 3 (4 with Onyx) for each difficulty?

Awesome

And Ricky Spanish as a new Hero, no less. Good stuff.

Yes finally!!

HEY Shiny, Are there new quests associated to the new quests and are old quest to be redone?

All of this looks fantastic! is there an ETA on when you expect it to come out?

This is awesome. Adventure giving everyone prospects of potentionally all types/rarities of card (Mythic understandably excluded) seems like an amazing way to prevent stale air and extreme power gaps . Thank you for this update=) Though, curious how long one might have to farm to earn a full Turd Pack?

hi, will there be quests for onyx completion ??

will this update bring higher hero health to balance out the fact the average attack per has gone up drastically from around 10?

All of the upcoming updates looks amazing.. !! Love the nibbler payback animation..!!

Yes! Thank you Shiny. :D Super excited for this update!

"Once a player completes a section of a level, they will receive the reward listed in the pool as a guaranteed drop, but will not be able to obtain the reward again." I don't understand. Does that mean no more farming?

Nice job, good stuff.

I don't understand.

Will we ever see stones that surpass mythic? Like quark gluon or black/grey anti-matter stones that have the ability to form into a tesseract card cube...just wondering

why does bomb never show the damage when it hits other cards........this update even shows a big HP animation and still no number.... feels so uncomfortable to watch EDIT: if its intentional can you add an option to display bomb damage when it hits a card... thank you EDIT2: Wow i noticed lots of stuff doesn't show any numbers leech or payback.... now i really want an option to display ALL values please... :(
