Check out the full list of changes coming to GWENT with Patch 4.1 this Monday (October 28th)!
Changes:
- Improved mulligan screen.

- Leader selection screen feels more dynamic now.
- Enforced FTUX for players who haven't played an online match since Novigrad release.
- Reduced crafting cost for Thronebreaker cards.
New Features
- Decoupled logic and visuals. Game should feel and play much faster now. You no longer need to wait for animations to fully finish before taking your next action
- A blue/red banner will appear under/above the coin indicating the current players turn
- VFX played when a player's score overtakes their opponents
- Score will change size upon being increased/decreased
- Chains will cover the coin to lock it if a player uses an order before playing a card for their turn
- A warning will be given if the player tries to overcommit by using an order/leader (without having played a card) when they are winning and the opponent has passed
- Available actions a player can make at any given time will have a green glow around them (hand, leader ability, coin)
- Targettable cards on the board will gain a green glow to make it visually easy to identify which can be targetted
- When an opponent plays a card, it is moved visually to the play stack, the tooltip is shown and then it is played. There are settings available to turn off the tooltip length or decrease the time it stays up
- Added a new Round transition flow to make it clear which round we are currently in
- When the leader ability is used (by either player), it will be visualised with a yellow pulse around the ability icon
- Several cards visuals were reworked in sake of optimisation
- The leader ability can be triggered by tapping the ability icon (in addition to the leader)
- Added new icon on card in deck builder to indicate if there is enough resources to craft a card without going into big preview
