Update 1.6.2 is Live!https://www.wandsgame.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/1.6.2UpdateImage.png19201080OccyOccyhttps://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/068fb4f756ec4bc4b531ed8659b88af2?s=96&d=mm&r=g
1.6.2 is finally here! Most of the changes are based on feedback from the community. You can now duel the AI without being removed from the matchmaking queue, Quest players can activate Teleport with their off-hand, and the game has been rebalanced to account for dodging!
The most important balance change is faster mana regeneration. While the regen rate has been increased for everyone, it’s been increased slightly more for players who are unable to dodge. The result is matches that are more fun, more fair, and more exciting than ever. We’ve really enjoyed testing these balance changes, and we hope you enjoy trying them out in Season 13!
Here’s the full list of changes in 1.6.2:
New features
Added Valve Index support
Added Vive Cosmos support
Improved features
Matchmaking is not stopped by dueling the AI
Added a casting animation when 6DoF characters use tile-based spells
Added Teleport to the off-hand for 6DoF players
Improved the AI’s animations
Loading has been improved (the game should load more smoothly)
Improved input detection for Vive controllers
Brightened Lightning Strike’s VFX on Quest
Game balancing

Armor of the Sun: Cost increased from 40 to 50
Chaos Leap: Cost increased from 25 to 40
Disc of Antioch: Cost increased from 25 to 35
Dragon’s Breath: Startup cost increased from 10 to 25, cost per second reduced from 15 to 5

Update 1.6.0 marks the arrival of our most requested feature to date – AI opponents!
Or, more accurately, one AI opponent to start. Her name is Machina, and she’s ready to duel when-ever, where-ever. And what’s even better, you’ll still get experience and dust from playing against her.
But beware, her skills and reflexes improve as you gain levels and rating. So when you improve she does too.
Now we’re guessing that there might be a bug here or there that’ll appear once she arrives in The Beyond, and there’s undoubtedly a lot more tuning ahead of us once we get more data and feedback. But for now, play a few matches (or a ton of matches!), and let us know what you think.
The Most Exciting Season Yet!
Season 11 will begin on Friday, August 23 and end on Sunday, September 8. This will be the shortest season yet, so everyone has a chance to compete for a top spot! The winner will get a free Wands T-shirt and a free copy of Wands on any platform of their choice!
