Ace
HP gain: 40 → 50
Attack speed: 1.4% → 1.15%
Attack speed stacking: Additive → Multiplicative
Shifting power from attack speed → HP to make Ace viable on more openings. Multiplicative stacking makes it consistent with other attack speed buffs.
Scrapper
Starting gold: 0 → 3
No longer affects bonus value on Kingpin, Hydra, and Sakura (70% sell rate on bonus value)
Angler is no longer less likely to roll with Scrapper
This makes Scrapper stronger on average and more versatile, but less abusive with a few units.
Embargo
Gold gain: 80 → 75
High win rate.
Prosperity
Gold: 155 → 160
Low pick rate and slightly low win rate.
Pawn Shop
Gold: 68 → 75
No longer affects bonus value on Kingpin, Hydra, and Sakura (70% sell rate on bonus value)
Sacrifice
Gold: 88 → 92
No longer affects bonus value on Kingpin, Hydra, and Sakura (70% sell rate on bonus value)\[/p]
This makes Pawn Shop and Sacrifice stronger on average and more versatile, but less abusive with a few units.
Robo Squad
Mythium: 40 → 35
High win rate.
Savior
Gold: 90 → 92
Low pick rate.
Sorcerer
Mana regeneration: Decreased by 3%
Slightly high pick rate and win rate.
Peewee / Veteran
Attack speed decreased by 4%
Slightly high pick rate and win rate.
Angler
Damage decreased by 12.5%
Bounty Hunter / Kingpin
Damage and HP increased by 1%
Shifting power out of Angler.
Orchid
Shuriken Cyclone: Bonus attack speed: 85% → 100%
Slightly low pick rate and win rate.
Honeyflower
Damage: 9 + 0.02% max HP → 8 + 0.04% max HP
Overall a nerf with a small compensation buff against very high HP targets.
Deathcap
Damage: 31 + 0.07% max HP → 32 + 0.07% max HP
Shifting power from Honeyflower to Deathcap.
Heroic Scrappy
Wind Up: Cost: 40 → 30
Wind Up: Now lasts for 10 seconds (after first attack)
Wind Up: Attack speed: 12% → 25%
This makes Wind Up less coin-flippy, less OP on certain waves, more versatile (shifts power budget from splash to attack speed), and more visible.
Priestess of the Abyss / Azeria
Mana regeneration decreased by 4%
Slightly high pick rate and win rate. One of the strongest openings in the game.
Ocean Templar
HP increased by 13%
Low win rate. Substantial buff.
Doppelganger
HP increased by 1%
Base damage increased by 2%
Doppelganger can pop off with the right supportive fighters, but on average, it underperforms.
Fenix
HP and damage decreased by 1.5%
Slightly high win rate.
Crawling Catapult / Wandering Trebuchet
Damage decreased by 1.5%
Slightly high win rate.
Soul Gate / Hell Gate
Summon HP increased by 2%
Low win rate.
Needler
Attack speed increased by 2%
Low usage rate and slightly low win rate.
Wave 1: Crabs
If the battle phase lasts longer than 45 seconds, it will now fast forward at 2x speed (mythium generation still 1x).
It’s interesting when a battle happens to last a long time, since it influences the game state and causes chaos. However, it’s too easy to consistently force a long wave 1, in particular with Fire Archer + Bone Warriors. This change reduces frustration without nerfing the actual fighters.
The dev team is constantly monitoring game balance, between looking at data and listening to community feedback. If anything is being more closely monitored than usual, it will be listed in this Balance Watchlist section. For this patch, the following are on the watchlist:
Strong: All Out Assault
Weak: Bazooka
Fixed some performance issues with heroic units vfx
Fixed leaked units sometimes attacking other lanes
Improved profile and matchhistory loading times
Fixed Sniper making the projectile from Catapult/Trebuchet invisible
Fixed the game not pausing correctly when a DC happens right at the start
Fixed rerolls not showing up in chat
Fixed some crashes
Fixed being able to mistakenly place Sorcerer on Kingpin
Added a way to unlink your currently linked twitch account (unlinking has a 30day cooldown after receiving a drop, to prevent abuse)
Improved Discord account linking flow
You can now purchase double down in queue
Fixed gold values when loading a sandbox build with nekomata
Fixed Seadragon self damage not being reduced by damage reduction
