I’ll edit it in..

25% with first, extra 5% for each additional item. We’ve slightly changed the description in game to be: At start of turn, there is a 25% chance of each, to inflict Burn, Poison and Freeze for 4 turns. This chance increases by 5% for each additional Brood gear equipped.

Great fix for Flametree set. Pantheon set looking awesome as well, although a bad weapon could kill the set from being run as a complete set. But overall looking like a really strong tanky set for Blue.

Reminder: If someone in your Kingdom updates before you, you will be locked out of the Kingdom.

If you are already in the Kingdom in a battle or interacting with the menus and you aren’t on the latest version or someone in your Kingdom updates before you, you will get an error.

This is not a bug. Everyone in your Kingdom need to all be on the latest version

Update expected in the next hour or so

Expected to be pushed to live in about 35mins.. on all platforms and consoles.

Be aware, it can take some time to reach all platforms, so it may not display or update immediately.

Consoles will release an hour after.
