Tower Tactics: Liberation update for 5 August 2022

Highlights

• This patch aims to alliviate the most frustrating parts of the changes made last patch, and some other parts of the game that weren't very fun at all. In short, the mythic mana offering no longer has a drawback, sector 1 is a bit shorter (remember that the purpose of sector 1 is to build your deck and gain resources, the real challenge and the mana per turn bump begins in sectors 2 and 3), Basic Bomber is no longer useless, and none of the boss trinkets have drawbacks now. See the full changes below.
