So now, in addition to the original &#8220;Frostborn&#8221; difficulty, a new &#8220;Chilling&#8221; Game mode has been added for those players who just want to smash through the monsters and feel the mana flowing through their veins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Existing Frostborn saved games can be switched to Chilling mode, so you don&#8217;t need to start over again for a monster-shredding freezing-edge experience. (Going back to Frostborn is not possible though.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chilling Mode features:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Freeze spell is given at start<\/li><li>+3 gem damage at first grade (causes a dramatic damage increase at higher grades)<\/li><li>3 free buildings (except walls) can be built in every battle<\/li><li>+300 mana when a battle starts<\/li><li>3x shadow cores drop from monsters<\/li><li>2x xp on kills given by monsters in Journey battles<\/li><li>Reduced first wave hit points on later game fields (where first wave would be above 70 hp)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Other changes and fixes have been added as well:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Added many formerly missing trial fields<\/li><li>Range can be decreased for lanterns and pylons<\/li><li>Vital link trait power reduced from 10% to 3% per level<\/li><li>Hp multiplier per wave is set to 1.1 for all endurance fields (it was varying between 1.1 and 1.11)<\/li><li>Getting different slow rate gem hits works properly now<\/li><li>New option shows larger info panels when at higher resolution than 1920&#215;1080<\/li><li>Disabling weather effects works now<\/li><li>Hatred and Awakening battle traits have been severely nerfed<\/li><li>Random special enemies have less hp, especially in later waves<\/li><li>Decreased strike spells&#8217; skill level charge time decrement bonus by half<\/li><li>Halved the hp percent loss taken by shrine strikes<\/li><li>Gems reach hit milestones sooner above 1.000 hits<\/li><li>Changed the redundant talfrag property to &#8216;extra hp taken by ice shards&#8217;<\/li><li>Added range circle to the pylon placement helper<\/li><li>Fixed missing lines in the talisman summary list<\/li><li>Added all formerly missing journey note illustrations<\/li><li>Lots of other minor fixes<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stay safe and have a great time!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey Everyone, After a long silence, the Chilling Update for GemCraft Frostborn Wrath has finally arrived!And, for a few days the game is at -15% on Steam as part of the Tower Defense save event. https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/1106530\/GemCraft__Frostborn_Wrath\/ And if you&#8217;re waiting &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/gameinabottle.com\/blog\/2020\/05\/chilling-update-for-gemcraft-frostborn-wrath\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-825","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gameinabottle.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/825","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gameinabottle.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gameinabottle.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gameinabottle.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gameinabottle.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=825"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/gameinabottle.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/825\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":826,"href":"https:\/\/gameinabottle.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/825\/revisions\/826"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gameinabottle.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=825"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gameinabottle.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=825"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gameinabottle.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=825"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
