This weekend we held a BIGMOON BASH featuring teams Dog, Cat and Bird! Coaches had to use one of theme Beasties on their team (Woollie/Fetcham, Servitt/Servace or Rookee/Garood) and their individual results were tallied up to determine which Beastie family would reign supreme. So, who was the Bash Champion this time around?
🏆 Final Results!
Team DOGS was the winner! Woollie and Fetcham were able to narrowly win both the popularity contest AND in the on-field sports shenanigans. A most impressive result, to be sure! A hearty congratulations to all players who participated this time- Team Cat and Team Bird were SO close!
Now let's take a look at the coaches who scored highest this time around!

The median Bash Score this time was 1976. It's higher than before, which I think goes to show just how even many of the matchups were this time around - even the most top-ranked coaches took at least a couple losses.
Speaking of; a huge congratulations to Arc Tech, who once again took two spots on the leaderboard, this time claiming 1st place and 3rd! Other coaches will need to step up our game... at this rate, by 2027 we'll just be listing 20 Arc Tech alt accounts for every Bash result...
📊 Beastie Usage Stats!
As has become tradition, we've collected a ton of data on Beastie usage during this event and we're happy to share that data with you for further investigation!
> Check out the STATS here!
As usual, we'll be taking note of the stats and assessing what needs some rebalancing as we go forward to future balance patches. I intentionally decided to shake the typical schedule up this time by having a silly themed bash just after our most recent huge balance patch; we wanted to showcase some of the cool new animation that just got added, and also give our sicko players more time to experiment and explore the new meta before we do a full-on open bash. At this early stage, every Beastie looks VERY close in power level, presumably because players haven't found the biggest exploits... yet!
The only thing I want to add here... can I even say it? What happened to Riplash?! Last Bash, they were so overused and reviled that we had to ban them from participating. Now that they're legal again, nobody wants to use them anymore? I know we tweaked them a bit, but they're still quite good, you know...
🙇 Thank you!!!
It's all the dedicated and creative players who make these events a huge blast to play in every time! And I know exploration of this new balance meta has only just begun. I'm eagerly looking forward to the next Bash!
