3. Added a new monthly limited-quantity “Hero Choice Pack” to the Noble Tavern, which can be activated by unlocking a specific “Starburst” within the Field of Stars feature. All heroes within the “Hero Choice Pack” are available with the exception of Celestial, Hypogean and Dimensional faction heroes.
