Major Updates
New Mastermind: Swarm
+3 Income
Draft your roll, but 6 of 11 choices will be T1s
+1 income and +1 gold per picked T1

The anti-Aristocrat. Why build expensive fighters when cheap ones do trick? Are you brave enough to go full Swarm with 6 T1s?
Heroic Name Changes
Heroic Mr. Brewpot → Dr. Brewpot
Heroic Scrappy → Super Scrappy
Heroic Rift Trader → Rift Baron
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
Scrapper 
Starting gold: 1 → 0
The last hotfix got Scrapper into a much more balanced spot, but it’s still slightly on the strong side.
Shepherd 
Sheep health increased by 6%
Low pick rate. Shepherd is a creative, high skill-cap mastermind, but its lack of popularity even in high MMR suggests it needs a buff.
King
King
Upgrade Regeneration increased by 22%
Early game king damage was too impactful and sticky. We like keeping the king relatively vulnerable, so that all-in plays are viable, but it’s now easier to recover by upgrading regen. This rewards more risk taking, aggressive workering, and pro leaks in the early game.
Fighters
Green Devil
HP decreased by 3%
High pick rate and slightly high win rate.
Daphne
Damage increased by 3%
Slightly low pick rate and win rate.
Rift Trader
Portal of Trash: Now cycles randomly without replacement among each of the 4 options (like a deck of cards). Once the cycle has completed, it refreshes.
Rift Baron
Anvil: Stun duration increased slightly in the mid and late game (decay changed from -60% → -50%)
Portal of Trash: Now cycles randomly without replacement among each of the 4 options (like a deck of cards). Once the cycle has completed, it refreshes.
These changes make it more viable to build multiple Rift Barons, since they’ll no longer all simultaneously overkill and stun the same target.
Sea Serpent / Deepcoiler
Attack speed increased by 2%
Slightly low pick rate and win rate.
Leviathan
Bombardier: Damage: 110 --> 105
Aerial Command: Fixed a bug where it was still buffing spell damage by 14% (now 13%)
Slightly high pick rate and win rate.
Trinity Archer
Damage increased by 2%
Low win rate.
Azeria
HP decreased by 3%
Slightly high pick rate and win rate.
