When Minion Masters Version 1.13 arrives it will include a rework of the Accursed Ascension mechanic addressing the confusion it caused players — particularly those newer to the game.
When it comes to the acquisition of Spectral Essence, the game lacked clarity as to where it could be found. It also seems there was little upfront information on the Accursed Ascension mechanic and how Spectral Essence is used with it.
To fix this, the dev team has decided to change Accursed Ascension so that players spend 60 Mana on Accursed faction cards to gain it. Hopefully, this will make the system easier for players to understand and, as a result, more useful.
it’s fine how it is. spectral essence is tracked above all cards with a trigger for it, with a number used to reflect how much spectral essence you have gotten and as you play more it tracks it, instantly above all remaining cards with the trigger as you play them out. so now they are tryin to track it with a different number not based off spectral essence. makes no sense. *shrugs*
