    Developer Update: Join Our Discord!

    Hey everyone, it’s Buck from RedLynx and I’m back with another weekly Developer Update! We’ve got a Legendary season reset this week and some balance changes coming tomorrow! Let’s jump right in!




    THIS WEEK

    Here’s a quick peek at the Weekly Timetable:


    As you can see, on Tuesday (after the Legendary Season Reset) we’ll have a 24h event featuring Grand Wizard Cartman, followed by the “Healers Challenge” on Wednesday and Thursday. For that challenge, the healing cards (listed below) will cost 1 less than usual, so take advantage of that newly buffed Medicine Woman Sharon.

    Challenge Mode Card List:

    • Medicine Woman Sharon
    • Blood Elf Bebe
    • Bounty Hunter Kyle
    • Canadian Knight Ike
    • Deckhand Butters
    • Friar Jimmy
    • Hallelujah
    • Mr. Slave
    • Priest Maxi
    • Regeneration
    • Witch Doctor Token
    • Angel Wendy




    For the weekend, we’ll have another Card Use event, featuring Medusa Bebe. I’ll also list those cards down below.

    • Stan the Great
    • Hookhand Clyde
    • Hercules Clyde
    • Choirboy Butters
    • Hermes Kenny
    • Space Warrior Token
    • Terrance Mephesto
    • Medusa Bebe
    • Satan





    As always, Team Wars is on-going, so be sure to get your votes in and collect those Bottle Caps!

    The points for the weekend event will be the same as usual.




    BALANCE CHANGES

    As mentioned in the last Developer Update, with the next season reset on Tuesday, we’ll have some much-requested buffs to the Adventure theme!

    • Incan Craig- Base HP increased to 350 (from 210), base ATK increased to 30 (from 28), Base Warcry Damage increased to 200 (from 150) and Warcry line width increased by 50% In order to avoid the damage to New Kid scaling too high, the NK damage multiplier will also change (Was Warcry damage divided by 3 and will now be Warcry damage divided by 5). Currently, at level 1 the Warcry does 50 damage to the New Kid, after the update that will be 40. The damage done to units will still be increasing.

    • Pocahontas Randy- Base ATK increased to 60 (from 40) and charged time decreased to 13 seconds (from 14.3). Indian Brave (spawn unit) ATK range increased to 0.8 (from 0.5).

    • Smuggler Ike- Base Charged Ability(ATK boost) has doubled to 10 (from 5).

    • Medicine Woman Sharon- Base ATK increased to 28 (from 20), Base HP increased to 180 (from 126), Charge ability time decreased to 10 seconds (from 12.5) and Base heal increased to 60 (from 36).


    NOTES FROM DESIGNERS:

    Incan Craig: Previously, when the main power was weaker and affected fewer units, Incan Craig had higher damage to enemy New Kid. Since the base HP of Incan Craig and his main power have increased dramatically, the NK damage is now taken down slightly to focus this character more on the main power.
    Currently, at level 1 the Warcry does 50 damage to the enemy New Kid, after the update that will be 40. The max damage to enemy New Kid was previously 200, now it is 160.

    Pocahontas Randy: His Attack and charge time improved, and his unit has better range now. It compensates for the time it takes for him to spawn a unit compared to Sexy Nun Randy.

    Smuggler Ike: This assassin is not seen much in the upper Arenas, and we wanted to give more impact to its power. Now if you can keep it alive, it hits like a brick.

    Medicine Woman Sharon : Atk and HP boost, overall body boost because she was too weak. Now she has a very strong impactful heal on the new kid. Charge time has decreased slightly, so you can use it more often.






    LEGENDARY SEASON RESET

    As is tradition the season reset will occur tomorrow, the first Tuesday of the month. As this is the first time we’ve had the new Skill Rating system, I’ll explain how this is going to work. The amount of LSR (Legendary Skill Rating) that players have OVER 6000 will be cut by 50% each season reset. For example, if you have 7000 LSR at the time of reset, your new LSR would then be 6500.

    The rewards for the Legendary Seasons have also been increased! The new rewards aren't fully listed in game, so we're letting you know the contents right here:

    • T1: 140 Cards, At least 60 Rares, 15 Epics and 1 Legendary (with 80% chance at second), 170 Upgrade mats, 5500 PvP Tix and 650 Cash
    • T2: 120 Cards, At least 50 Rares, 13 Epics and 1 Legendary (with 60% chance at second), 145 Upgrade mats, 4500 PvP Tix and 550 Cash
    • T3: 100 Cards, At least 40 Rares, 11 Epics and 1 Legendary (with 30% chance at second), 125 Upgrade mats, 3500 PvP Tix and 400 Cash
    • T4: 85 Cards, At least 35 Rares, 9 Epics and 1 Legendary , 110 Upgrade mats, 2500 PvP Tix and 250 Cash
    • T5: 75 Cards, At least 30 Rares, 8 Epics and 70% chance of Legendary , 95 Upgrade mats, 2000 PvP Tix and 175 Cash
    • T6: 60 Cards At least 25 Rares, 6 Epics and 50% chance of Legendary , 80 Upgrade mats, 1500 PvP Tix and 100 Cash


    Another thing to add, the top 3 tiers will be slightly reduced for next season. The top prize tier which is currently 9500+ will be lowered to 9000+. Tier 2 will be lowered to 8500+ and Tier 3 is lowered to 8000+.



    ⭐⭐One last thing, after the legendary season reset we'll be optimizing the Asian region server for matchmaking. These players will now be able to matchmaking with both EU and NA players. We will be monitoring the situation, so please let us know if you experiencing any issues with this. ⭐⭐

    TvT Matchmaking

    Buck or Toller. Any update on when you are fixing TvT matchmaking. Having it based off of arena tiers how it appears to be working currently encourages deranking and EVERYONE is doing it.

    Not to mention finding matches for top players in rank takes forever at times.

    You need to make matches random with ANYONE in your current league. Please give an update on this.

    Why reduce LSR?

    How can you justify reducing the LSR when there was not enough LSR to go around for people to get to the high tiers? Even at the lower thresholds you have made the problem worse. If LSR is only added at the bottom in small amounts and you incinerate a bunch off the top after each season, you will compound the problem.

    Hey Buck

    Quick question regarding the LSR. It seems to me that when you halve the amount above 6000 the amount of LSR available will dramatically decrease. Is there ever "new" LSR created? In the old system every player that entered the legendary arena increased the total pool of available LSR with 10000 thus making top players have more LSR in the end of a season compared to the beginning. With the new system I don't understand how players are supposed to climb when the available LSR gets less for every season reset.

    Kindly

    So happy for No Nerfs!
    The only bad thing is the ELO system. It's impossible go up if with five wins I gain +3, +1, +4, +2, +3 and then with only one defeat i lose -96 points. It's frustrating.

    Still no answer if this forum will be updated with all information given on Discord channel. Like alot of other questions not being answered basically.

    So don't get at all, why creating a 2nd communication channel when you can't handle even one properly. And now it seems a bit of information here and a bit of information on Discord (if I follow the replies on the different threads here). If not all information is available here, I start wondering if that is another business model, to get to my personal information more easily, rather than keeping us updated.

    Lowering Tier numbers

    I think you guys should consider lowering ALL tier numbers by 500. As a player who was consistently in the 10k range in the old system, it was a bear to even break into the new 6000.
