Web3 TCG Skyweaver’s Hexbound Invasion Expansion

New cards, new abilities and new challenges – the Polygon-powered trading card game has launched its latest expansion, Hexbound Invasion!

A mysterious sickness grips the land.

On January 16th, Hexbound Invasion – the latest expansion for the popular Web3 trading card game Skyweaver – went live. 50 new cards, the introduction of the Slay ability and the all-new Skypass were unleashed on players; and the reception has been terrific!

The Lore Deepens in Skyweaver Hexbound Invasion

Hexbound Invasion sees the progression of Skyweaver’s lore, as the Hexbound sickness spreads chaos across the land. Players must rally to defend against this new threat – or choose to harness the power for themselves.

Fresh Cards and New Strategies

The expansion includes six new units and four new spells for each of the 10 Prisms, giving players a whole new range of strategic opportunities.

Skyweaver has continued to amass a thriving community of dedicated players. According to a game analysis by Ancient88, the Skyweaver community is a force to be reckoned with, boasting over 250,000 players who’ve created accounts, 98,000 members on the official Discord, and a Twitter following of 24,000.

The brand-new Slay ability is activated when a player’s card destroys an enemy unit, with effects varying from card to card such as drawing a card, playing the next spell twice or adding barriers to unit allies.

Skypass System Debuts in Skyweaver Hexbound Invasion

Hexbound Invasion brought with it the introduction of the Skypass, a battle pass system that allows players to unlock rewards as they play such as base cards, limited-edition tradable Hexbound Card Back and more. Skypass will run on a Season basis, with progress being reset, and new rewards being revealed, each season.
