+3 Income
You can Borrow up to once per wave from waves 1-20
Borrowing increases your gold but decreases your income. Gold scales per wave from 4 --> 50. Income penalty scales per wave from -1 --> -100.
If you don't have enough income, you cannot Borrow
Moneylender is a BigBrain mastermind. Borrow strategically if you need extra gold for a worker or particular fighter, or if you simply need more value to hold. Be careful about Borrowing recklessly or too often.
Introducing community created lane skins, which are cosmetics that can be created and used by anyone!
This feature is currently in preview, available only to creators. It will be available to the general playerbase in next month's update (April).
Rotation time: 3.25 hours → 1.75 hours
Income & Chill is now integrated into classic, instead of being voted on (data showed it was voted through 99% of the time)
Reduced frequency of Mini & Wumbo
Introduced Vanilla Classic (no special rules) as a rotating mode. Will tune frequency based on its popularity and reception

Aristocrat
Income for upgrading T6: 13 → 12
High pick rate, slightly high win rate.
Castle
Income on wave 11: 47 → 48
Low win rate.
Champion
Income penalty on wave 11: -13 → -14
High pick rate, slightly high win rate.
Battle Scars
Attack speed per stack: 3.5% → 3.3%
Slightly high pick rate and win rate.
Divine Blessing
Health: 2000 → 1900
Slightly high pick rate, high win rate.
Hypercarry
Attack speed, lifesteal, and spell vamp per stack: 4.2% → 4%
Mini & Wumbo only: 3.2% → 3%
Very high pick rate.
Loan
200 gold → 100 gold and 80 mythium
Income penalty: -31 → -30
Despite being balanced, Loan has been the least-picked spell in the game for years. It was so extremely defensive that it was (1) rarely picked in normal circumstances, and (2) also rarely picked in games with offensive spells because the existence of Loan discouraged players from making offensive plays.
This rework makes Loan more versatile.
Pawn Shop
Gold: 75 → 70
Slightly high pick rate and win rate.
Protector
Health regeneration: 0.5% → 0.6%
Low win rate.
Overwork
Reduced mythium rate on wave 12: -35% → -30%
Low win rate.
Sorcerer
Mana regeneration: 1.7 → 1.60
High pick rate and win rate.
Zeus
Autoattack damage increased by 5%
Pyro
Attack speed increased by 2%
Low pick rate and win rate.
Rogue Wave
Damage decreased by 4.8%
Delusion: Slow: 75% → 70%
High pick rate and win rate.
Sea Dragon / Lifebinder
Mana regeneration increased by 4%
Slightly low pick rate and win rate.
Sacred Steed / Pegasus
Mana regeneration increased by 7%
Slightly low pick rate and low win rate.
Spectral Scallywag
Unyielding Spirit: Health: 6-23 → 6-21
Unyielding Spirit: Damage: 0.3-1.1 → 0.3-1
Slightly high pick rate and win rate.
Infiltrator / Orchid
Attack speed increased by 2.2%
Slightly low pick rate and low win rate.
Elite Archer / Trinity Archer
Attack speed increased by 1.6%
Slightly low pick rate and win rate.
Crab Warlock / Crabomancer
Damage increased by 2.4%
Low pick rate and slightly low win rate.
Azeria
Health decreased by 1.5%
High win rate.
Gatling Gun / Vulcan Cannon
Attack speed increased by 2.6%
Low pick rate and slightly low win rate.
Banana Haven
Thorns: Reflect damage: 18 + 15% → 17 + 15%
Slightly high pick rate and win rate.
Hell Gate
DPS unchanged
Damage increased by 27%
Attack speed decreased by 21%
Slightly high pick rate and win rate. Hell Gate’s summons now attack slower (at the same speed as Soul Gate’s summons).
Crawling Catapult / Wandering Trebuchet
Damage decreased by 2%
High win rate.
Firelord
HP increased by 12%
Attack speed decreased by 3.6%
Molten Shield: Damage blocked: 60% --> 50%
Fenix
HP increased by 13%
DPS increased by 9%
Prismatic Shield: Damage blocked: 80% --> 50%
Prismatic Shield had too much power budget, making it overpowered in the late game. For example, a build of only Fenixes outperformed many stronger-looking builds on wave 20. When combined with mana buffs and lifesteal, Fenix became unstoppable.
This change also makes Fenix's statline comparable to that of Firelord (previously, Fenix was significantly tankier but lower DPS).
Mimic
Can now merge with itself once, creating a Giga Mimic with double the health and damage as a normal Mimic.
Mimic has been the least used mercenary for years. Its ability is fun but is primarily viable on waves 6-9 where it can realistically get kills. Now with Giga Mimic, it can also be used in the mid game.
Siege Ram
Health increased by 0.9%.
Low usage rate.
Kraken
Health decreased by 1.3%
High usage rate and win rate.
Shifting power from Kraken to Siege Ram.
Wave 15: Quadrapuses
Attack speed decreased by 1.5%
Wave 17: Metal Dragons
Health increased by 1.6%
Wave 18: Wale Chiefs
Attack speed increased by 1.3%

Fixed Auto Power not respecting queued mercs on wave 22+

Re-enabled Redraw in PvE
New emotes: coolBrute, gk, kappa, o7, schn3rd, stare, sus, brolyGiggle, lucyDizzy
Fixed Sakura not loading the wave scaling when loading builds into sandbox
