Gwent Nilfgaard Update 0.8.60 Official Patch Notes
The long wait is finally over. Nilfgaard, the fifth and final faction in Gwent, has finally arrived. The Gwent Nilfgaard update also brings a ton of changes, fixes and tweaks. But, let’s be honest, the new faction is by far the biggest attraction.
Other than introducing the new faction, patch 0.8.60 brings a ton of tweaks and fixes. A lot of smaller and larger bugs have been fixed, and a lot of card strengths and special abilities got some fine tuning. AS with all such changes, some fans are happy, while others have had their entire strategy completely destroyed. Such is life in a closed beta.
You can check out the complete list of patch notes on the Gwent official website.
Nilfgaard in Gwent: The Witcher Card Game
Gwent in general is a game of wits and bluffing much more than brute force. However, no other faction hinges on deception like Nilfgaard does. They rely heavily on the use of Spy cards to sabotage the opponent.
When playing Niflgaard, you can actually reveal the cards from your opponent’s hand, and you can reshuffle both your and your opponent’s deck. There are also a lot of cards that synergize with disloyal cards (aka spy cards) and card reveals. They usually get some sort of bonus whenever a card is revealed, or something to that effect.
As for direct attacks, Nilfgaard mostly concentrates on pinging and/or destroying more powerful cards.
