Major Updates

24/7 Top Match Stream

We recently launched Top Match Stream, which automatically spectates the highest-rated games currently being played. The stream is live 24/7. There's now always something worth watching - even when your favorite streamers aren’t live.

How it works:

• Prioritizes high MMR games
• Prioritizes matches that have recently started
• Stays with each match until it finishes
• Runs on a 30-minute delay to protect competitive integrity

The Top Match Stream does not have Twitch Drops to avoid cannibalizing viewers from our amazing streamers. We encourage everyone to support our community instead.

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

Miner

Starting gold: -15 → -16

Slightly high pick rate and high win rate.

Moneylender

• Borrow ratio on waves 9-19 increased by an average of 9%
• Borrow amount increased on waves 9-20 by an average of 13%

Borrowing is now more viable in the mid game and more impactful in the late game.

Tips when using Moneylender:

• Borrow when the extra gold allows you to reach an important threshold (an extra worker or a specific fighter).
• Overpush on strong waves (e.g. Nightmare on 4), then Borrow on your weak wave (e.g. Nightmare on 5) if your opponent saves on 4.
• Borrow on critical waves, especially when the game might end that wave.

Yolo

Starting gold: 4 → 5

Low win rate.

Systems

Flat HP Buffs

• Summons, clones, and revivals now receive a partial benefit from flat HP buffs (previously, they received no benefit).
• The amount is scaled based on their Flat HP Factor and is balanced around the unit's expected number of spawns.
• You can push this higher through synergies that generate more spawns.
• Affected buffs: Titan, Protector, Divine Blessing, Lost Chiefain, Ace, Battle Scars
• Affected self-flat-HP-buffs with Buzzinator: Sakura, Lumerian, Holy Avenger, Sovereign, Lioness, Spectral Scallywag

Flat HP Factor:

• Dread Knight: 3.3%
• Shadow Dancer: 4%
• Soul Gate: 4.4%
• Hell Gate: 4.4%
• Buzzinator: 5%
• Hydra: 6.7%
• Crab Warlock: 8%
• Crabomancer: 8%
• Lord of Death: 10%
• Hades: 10%
• Slime Siren: 10%
• Gateguard: 13.3%
• Harbinger: 13.3%
• Eternal Wanderer: 20%
• Lost Samurai: 20%
• Guardian Angel: 20%

So for example, if you buff Harbinger with Titan, Harbinger will gain +1500 HP and each Cerberus will gain 1500 * 13.3% = +200 HP. Or if you chieftain buff a unit with Buzzinator, the unit will gain +1600HP and each Buzz will gain +80 HP.

Power Score

• Improved power score adjustments for Cartel, Castle, and Champion
• Decreased weight of income on power score by 5%

This makes power score less forward-looking and makes it less likely for players-being-saved-on to go on fire.

Legion Spells

Guardian Angel

Revival HP: 1550 → 1500

High win rate.

Hypercarry

Attack speed and lifesteal per stack: 4% → 3.9%

Very high pick rate.

Overwork

Wave 11 worker boost: +65% → +70%

Slightly low pick rate and win rate.

Smite

Gold: 78 → 82

Slightly low pick rate and win rate.

Fighters

Rift Baron

Damage decreased by 3%

High win rate. Top tier opening.

Bounty Hunter

HP and damage decreased by 1%

Kingpin

HP and damage decreased by 2%

High win rate. Top tier opening.

Sea Serpent / Deepcoiler

HP increased by 4%

Slightly low pick rate and win rate.

Gateguard / Harbinger

HP increased by 4%

Slightly low pick rate and win rate.

Elite Archer

Attack speed decreased by 2%

High win rate. Top tier opening.

Pulsebot / Skybot

• HP and damage decreased by 4%
• EMP: Damage amplification: 1% → 5% on wave 1 scaling down to 1% on wave 21

King Claw

• HP and damage decreased by 2%
• Shell Shock: Attack speed slow: 5% → 20% on wave 1 scaling down to 4% on wave 21

Yozora

• HP and attack speed decreased by 3%
• Wintry Touch: Attack speed slow: 1% → 5% on wave 1 scaling down to 1% on wave 21

Arctaire

• HP and attack speed decreased by 3%
• Frozen Veil: Attack speed slow: 2.9% → 15% on wave 1 scaling down to 3% on wave 21

Previously, these units' abilities were very low power budget because they were balanced around the fact that they are inherently strong late game. Now, they are stronger early game and more exciting.

Hydra

• HP increased by 8%
• Incubation: Damage reduction per stack: 17.5% --> 15%

With flat HP buffs now affecting summoners like Hydraling, Hydra should have a bit less damage reduction, so it's not too powerful with HP buffs.

Mercenaries

Honey Bear

Heal decreased by 7%

High win rate and countering AOE builds too hard.

Four Eyes

Attack speed increased by 2.5%

Low win rate.

Needler

Attack speed increased by 2.5%

Slightly low usage rate and win rate.

Waves

Waves 15-21

• Feast: 0.5% HP and attack speed → 0.4%
• HP and DPS increased by 1-1.5%

Scaling back Feast slightly.
