Minion Masters!
We’re bringing you a few rapid updates these weeks as we iterate on the Battle Pass.
We also fixed some bugs and included some of the balance changes we’ve been looking at.
Our current plan is to do another update in a week, which contains more of the gameplay changes we’ve been working on (but didn’t make it into this update) and additional improvements in all of the game.
As always, plans may change, and we’ll try to keep you updated with the timer in-game :)
Balance
- Scott, The Sensitive Savage
- Health up from 550 to 600
--- Developer comments ---
Scott’s been getting multiple buffs over time, and while we’re seeing him become more and more viable, he’s not quite where we want him - impactful and hilarious to both players in the match.
Today will just be a slight change to his staying power, but it’s only half of the stuff we’re working on with him, so we’re ready to give him another bump depending on how this performs. - Infiltration
- Unit count up from 3 to 4
--- Developer comments ---
When Shars’Rakk Twins came out people looked to the 5-mana Spells, and immediately concluded only two were of any use - Dragon Ball and Magma Storm.
This made us sad :(
Infiltration has been in our sights for a while though, and after considering different perspectives we arrived at a higher count partly because of the simplicity. - AtG Drone x8
- Health up from 200 to 250
--- Developer comments ---
The AtG received an experimental change recently, with the targeting. Regardless of how that pans out, we’re confident it was lacking staying power, now serving as a rather tanky flying Minion in your repertoire.Misc
- Added the Battle Chests to the Battle Pass view for an easy overview of how many Battle Chests are currently active
- Added a countdown for the next Battle Chest
- Added Season Tokens as a reward to Expeditions instead of Power Tokens
- Added a stat for the jump range to the Incubus and Succubus card preview
- Limited particles spawning when objects disappear for optimization purposes
