6.04 Patch Notes

Small maintenance patch with bug fixes and balance changes

Game Improvements

Mac Users
- Fixed a critical bug where the game would crash or have game-breaking graphical glitches in menu screens. If this fix doesn't work for you, delete your Config/Options.ini file - ask in Discord if you need help.

FairPlay
- Fixed a display-only bug where players would get an AFK warning popup after a game finished if they AFK'ed at the victory/defeat screen

Audio Updates
- Various new UI sounds
- Various new ping sounds for leaking enemy lane as well as reaching enemy king (the goal is to have unique identities for each of these pings)

Game Balance

Legion Spells

All Out Assault

- Income: -15 >> -20

All Out Assault was intended to be a way to end the game when ahead or a way to surprise your opponents when behind. We're increasing the income penalty to emphasize that identity.

Giant Snail

- Health: 510 >> 490
- Damage: 22 >> 21

Guardian Angel

- Maximum revive health: 2300 >> 2100

Press the Attack

- Mythium: 75 >> 70

Protector

- Bonus health: 600 >> 650

Pulverizer

- Percent chance to stun: 27% (15% for ranged) >> 32% (16% for ranged)

Sacrifice

- The +90 gold is now gained immediately, rather than after Sacrificing a unit

This makes Sacrifice viable to use on later waves

Sorcerer

- Ability damage: 20% >> 19%

Vampire

- Life steal and ability vamp: 22% >> 21%

Villain

- Damage amplification: 27% (15% for ranged) >> 30% (15% for ranged)

Fighters

Peewee / Veteran

- Now considered ranged when boosted

This is technically a bug fix but also a situational nerf with Villain and Pulverizer and against wave 9 and Siege Ram

Proton / Atom

- Synergy with Sacred Steed/Pegasus nerfed by 17%

Win rate: 52.6%
Pick rate: Average

Nekomata

- Attack speed: 0.91 >> 0.88

Win rate: 52.4%
Pick rate: High

Grarl

- Damage: 74 >> 72

Grarl remains the highest pick rate unit in the game with a solid win rate. Delicacy (90% sell) is what makes the unit fun/versatile/unique, so we’re intentionally nerfing base stats instead of Delicacy

Win rate: 50.4%
Pick rate: Very high

Sacred Steed / Pegasus

- Attack speed: 0.88 >> 0.86
- Mana Blessing / Mana Miracle self-buff: Attack speed: 30% >> 40%

Buffed when paired with no mana units; otherwise, slightly nerfed

Win rate: 50%
Pick rate: Very high

- Health: 900 >> 930
- Damage: 19 >> 20

Win rate: 48.5%
