""While Doormaker had interesting micro decisions in the fight, he was over the complexity threshold of what we want and had lingering issues. We decided that starting over fresh will let us hit what we actually want for an Act 3 boss.""
""Doormaker was completely overhauled, adding a new mechanic that saw it swap between three phases that permanently exhausted your cards, limited your card draw, and made cards more expensive.""
""Its unique mechanic is that it adds a 'Wither' status card to your deck every time you play your fourth non-status card. Withers retain, cost 1 energy to play, and deal 2 damage to you if they're in your hand at the end of your turn.""
Patch 0.105.0 removes the Act 3 boss Doormaker from Slay the Spire 2 and introduces Aeonglass. Doormaker previously used a three-phase mechanic that permanently exhausted cards, limited card draw, and increased card costs, which led to negative player reactions and review-bombing. Mega Crit states Doormaker exceeded the desired complexity threshold and had lingering issues, so the team restarted the Act 3 boss design. Aeonglass adds a Wither status card to the deck whenever a player plays a fourth non-status card. Withers cost 1 energy to play, deal 2 damage to the player if they remain in hand at end of turn, and the fight includes additional changes beyond this core mechanic.
