Balance Patch - Build 0.77.111d
12/10/2026
Hello Northguardians! This is a quick balance patch for the demo, attempting to address some pain points, boosting weak structures, nerfing strong structures (hopefully more boosts than nerfs) and trying to improve MYSTICAL units so lategame isn’t entirely dominated by Kobold and Einherjar spam.
One part of that is changing Cleave to have a larger radius and share more damage, meaning that lategame units with lots of cleave might get the chance to chew through the spam now.
Content
Spring PvE encouter changed to Foxes (Wolves were buffed!)
Rare structures can no longer appear during Spring.
Slightly adjusted structure drop rates across all seasons.
