Major Updates
New Mastermind: Saboteur
Saboteur
+7 income
You cannot upgrade the king.
Saboteur can be played as either a carry-oriented or supportive mastermind. Scale hard with frequent income sending, or save mythium and send power mercenaries to avoid feeding your opponent.
Saboteur is disabled in PvE mode because you can't upgrade the king in that mode, which would make it a strictly better version of Greed.
Additionally, three more Masterminds are coming this year!
- Vault (Coming in April)
- Aristocrat (Coming in July)
- Miner (Coming in October)
New Unit: Crawling Catapult
Crawling Catapult
- Tier 6 (Cost: 265g)
- Role: DPS
- Long-ranged / Impact / Fortified
Artillery
Deals up to +100% bonus damage the further away the target is.
Stone Legs
Moves 80% slower.
New Unit: Wandering Trebuchet
Wandering Trebuchet
- Tier 6 (Upgrade Cost: 425g)
- Role: DPS
- Long-ranged / Impact / Fortified
Artillery
Deals up to +100% bonus damage the further away the target is.
Stone Legs
Moves 80% slower.
Crawling Catapult's design is a throwback to Gatling Gun's original design where you're rewarded for manipulating the wave to be a certain range away. However, it's more forgiving because it still moves (albeit slowly) and encourages you to maximize, not minimize, distance.
New Legion Spell: Spread The Wealth
Spread the Wealth: +95 gold to your teammate
Time to decide who's the true carry.
In Classic, the gold goes to your lane partner.
4v4/Classic Reworks
4v4 Worker Rework
Mythium rate increase per wave after wave 10: +12% --> +8% scaling to +18%
Workers are now weaker in the mid game and stronger in the late game. This disrupts the Classic meta of stopping workers by wave ~17.
Mini & Wumbo Rework
- Now starts on wave 3, and players start with 300 gold, 15 income, and 5 workers
- After wave 3 spawns, players can choose a mastermind as usual
- Now start with your choice of: Divine Blessing, Sorcerer, Villain, Titan, and Magician, instead of Champion
- You can now roll Eggsack in your initial roll
These changes reduce deadtime, allow you to play your favorite mastermind, and increase strategic variety.
PvE Rework
Mythium rate increase per wave after wave 10: +12% --> +4% scaling to +24%
Workers are now weaker in the mid game and stronger in the late game. This disrupts the PvE meta of stopping workers by wave ~15.
Giga Mercs Rework
- Maximum stacks per mercenary: 8 --> 99
- All abilities scale linearly, except Safety Mole's Safety Aura (scales to the 0.7 power) and Mimic's Plunder (does not scale).
Giga Lizard doesn't exist. It can't hurt you.
Giga Lizard:
New Skin: Abyssal Templar
Immediately unlock the Abyssal Templar skin for free if you achieve any 2 season goals. Otherwise, you can unlock it via the shop when it's offered next year.
Still not as creepy as irl.
New Skin: Toony Mimic
The seasonal skin from 2024 is now available in the shop!
Open me, I have candy inside~
Game Balance

Legion Spells
Glacial Touch

Low win rate. Glacial’s weak at 45 and strong at 50, so somewhere in the middle must be right.

Very high pick rate.
Pawn Shop
Gold: 65 → 70
Low win rate.
Pulverizer
Stun duration against non-boss units: 2 → 2.2

Balance Watchlist
The dev team is constantly monitoring game balance, between looking at data and listening to community feedback. If anything is being more closely monitored than usual, it will be listed in this Balance Watchlist section. For this patch, the following are on the watchlist:
- Brute
- All Out Assault and offensive legion spells
- Solo holder Tree of Life + Canopie/Spectral Scallywag
Minor Updates
- Classic Modes: Now rotate every 3.25 hours (from 5.75 hours)
- Guild Contribution: Fixed a rare bug where a player wouldn’t gain the correct contribution bonuses if they donated cards to a guild that they hadn’t contributed any GXP to (i.e. never won any games with)
- Big Play Announcements: Added an Interface option to toggle them on/off (scroll to the bottom). If toggled off, they will display in chat instead.
