v0.15: Rework of stun mechanics, item-set challenges
Way To Crown » Devlog

'Stunned' status is now applied gradually, and gives some 'resistance' after triggering. This penalizes stun-lock builds, which now require either more stuns or some method to remove resistance. At the same time, weaker stun allowed more cards and items with stun effect to be added while keeping reasonable balance. Stun now also applies to hero, and a few new monsters have 'stun' attack.
New challenges are added for gathering various unusual sets of items.
