Slithery Sacrifices
NEW CARDS
Taloc, the Vessel
Idol of Sacrifice
FEATURE UPDATES
AFK Bot reintroduced.
A bot will take over playing for any player who lost too much mana by being idle while at max mana. When you are back you can click to take back control. This feature can be disabled by a toggle in the general settings menu.
Disconnect Bot introduced
New player’s starting elo down from 1000 to 300
BALANCE CHANGES
Ravager
Brutus health: 1000 > 900
Terror Brutus HP 2500 > 2300
Ravager has been performing rather well, and a lot of that is on the brutus pushes. We do not want to kill the decks that only work with ravager, so giving him a bit less meatshield should help without killing it.
Melee Scrat
Attack Speed: 1 > 1.1
Skeleton
Attack Speed: 2 > 2.2
Swarm has been dealing a LOT of damage lately, and lowering the damage per unit a bit should keep the swarm feeling while allowing a bit more team to deal with the hordes.
Defenso Chopper
Attack Damage 50 > 35
Defenso chopper should deal most of its damage through its ability, this should help with that.
Mountainshaper
Mana cost 7 > 8
Mountainshaper is still performing far too good in 2v2, this should reduce the value you get from it a bit.
Arcane ring
Master damage 30 > 15
Arcane ring ideally is a way to trade better and protect slow moving units from ranged, not a face damage spell you throw on a rammer. This should incentivize different uses than that.
Brothers of Light, Caeleth, Brother of the Burning Fist
Attack Damage 150 > 130
The brothers are performing a bit too well, reducing the damage should affect some trades lowering their overall performance.
Zeppelin Bomber
Health 80 > 70
Zeppelin Bombers have been absolutely wrecking faces, and this should make them a bit more counterable while still having that dream of them carpetbombing the the enemies face.
Ritual of Servitude
Ritual has to be the cheapest card in your deck
Ritual of servitude with a 6 mana deck turned out to be far too flexible and hard to counter and was one of the best performing cards in the game. By increasing the minimum mana for getting 8/9 mana cards the decks should be a bit more unwieldy.
Feng
Stoutheart Synergy: Thick Hide > Slow on attack
Scrats Synergy: Scrats 2 > 3
Slither Synergy: Poison 3 > 3.5
Feng has been performing extremely well, and a big part of that has been the thick hide buff. Removing that buff gives feng a clearer weakness (swarm) while making his 1 on 1 fights a bit stronger. We also buffed 2 buffs that were just not doing much.
Morellia
Book Skeletons 3 > 4
Upgraded Book Skeletons 6 > 8
Morellia is not performing very well, and with the skeleton nerf she really deserves a buff to her skeletons.
Rimargaal, Scourge of the Summit
Attack Damage 420 > 460
Slowly finding the right spot for rimargaal’s damage.
Rampant Growth
Shrooms give Giant Growth to Zen-chi minions
Healing 50 > 75
No longer gives double healing
Rampant Growth has been mostly unseen, and this will make it a bit easier to use and understand.
Disruptor Puff
Stuns for 2 sec on target bridge when teleporting to a bridge
Disruptor puff was sad about finding enemies on the other bridge, but now that will be a shocking experience for them!
Werewolf
Health 400 > 450
None of the werewolf cards are doing very well, so making the werewolf a bit chunkier should let them go ham a bit more.
Poison Strike
Sacrifice +4 sec poison > Double poison duration
Making the poison strike sacrifice more worth it so it might actually be used.
Woodsman
Dam 90 > 100
Giving the woodsman variants the 100 damage threshold should allow them to deal with mid-tier units like spearthrowers more without affecting most other fights too much.
Chief Ice Breaker Bolf
First attack on a minion Freezes (no longer freezes on every 3rd attack)
Removed Revelry
Dam 90 > 100
Bolf has been underused and underperforming horribly, with this he should become a very good 1 on 1 fighter.
Scrap Yard
Health 400 > 300
Scrap yard is a bit too hard to counter effectively, with lower hp spells are a better option.
Zipp's Zappinator
Cardcount 3 > 2
Triple zaptank had a way higher win rate than single or double zaptank, so we removed that option.
