Buzzinator go bzzz

New Fighter Skins: Corrupted Gateguard and Harbinger

Game Balance

Read more about our design philosophy on game balance, and use Drachbot to see mastermind, unit, and spell win rates and pick rates!

Masterminds

Saboteur

Starting gold: 4 → 3

High win rate.

Swarm

Starting resources: 3 income → 2 income + 3 gold

Very high pick rate and slightly high win rate.

Legion Spells

Giant Snail

HP and attack speed decreased by 3.5%

High pick rate and slightly high win rate.

Prosperity

• Gold gained: 160 → 155
• Gold gained when wave 12 spawns → when wave 11 ends

This better differentiates Prosperity from Venture.

Sniper

Attack speed bonus: 45% → 50%

Low win rate.

Sorcerer

Mana regeneration decreased by 2%

Slightly high pick rate and win rate.

Vampire

Lifesteal and spell vamp: 30% → 32%

Low win rate.

Wolverine

Regeneration increased by 5%

Slightly low pick rate and win rate.

King

King

• Attack speed increased by 4%
• Upgrade Regeneration increased by 9%

King buffs and Swarm nerf will make the early game meta in high MMR less starvey. Nothing too drastic, since marginal changes can meaningfully shift optimal play.

Fighters

Fighter balance changes are light this patch because Swarm’s dominance is warping the meta and skewing data.

Kingpin

• HP decreased by 1%
• Base damage decreased by 2%

High win rate.

Honeyflower / Deathcap

Attack speed increased by 2%

Low pick rate and win rate.

Crab Warlock / Crabomancer

Summoner damage increased by 2%

Low pick rate and win rate.

Tips against Crab Warlock / Crabomancer builds:

• Send Pack Leader and other DPS mercs: Brute, Imps, Ogre, Witch, or Centaur, depending on the rest of their frontline
• Generally avoid tank mercenaries, Hermit, Safety Mole, Four Eyes, Mimic, and Needler
• Send on impact and magic waves, notably waves 10, 13, 14, 16, and 20
• When in doubt, save mythium for one wave longer. It’s important to overwhelm them with a big send and not let the Crab Warlocks hit critical mass

Banana Bunk / Banana Haven

Attack speed decreased by 3.5%

High win rate.

Mercenaries

Safety Mole

• Damage decreased by 1.6%
• Health decreased by 1.7%

High win rate.

Mimic

• Attack speed decreased by 1.7%
• Health decreased by 1.7%

High win rate.

Pack Leader

Leadership Aura: Damage taken penalty: 18.5% → 18%

Low win rate.

Classic / PvE

Dual building only: Pulsebot and Skybot damage decreased by 20%
