Not all Targoroth dragons were large. Some of them stopped developing and remained dragons forever.

Thus, the Gastres dragon was the smallest of the brood. Members of the royal dynasty did not want to take it, so the lizard went to Gartosh Targoroth, a bastard. Because of his background, he could not hold official positions, so he became a master of spies.
In such a craft, the small dragon Gastres came into place. Together with his master, the lizard penetrated enemy castles and started arson, stole artifacts and obtained valuable information about enemies.

Is this story true? No one knows. But the dragon Gastres remains in the past of the Sphere and right now everyone can become its happy owner.

Summons Crablings to do its dirty work.

Crab Warlock

• Tier 4 (Cost: 140g)
  
• Role: DPS
  
• Ranged / Magic / Swift

Crabling

• Role: Tank
  
• Melee / Pierce / Fortified

Now calls a deadly Pincer to battle.

Crabomancer

• Tier 4 (Upgrade Cost: 260g)
  
• Role: DPS
  
• Ranged / Magic / Swift

Pincer

• Role: Tank
  
• Melee / Pierce / Fortified

• Hydra’s health, damage, and value decreased by 20%
  
• Reverted the nerfs to Priestess of the Abyss and Azeria
  - Gaia Shield gives the full health buff again
  - Invigorate stacks infinitely again
  
• PvE mode: Dwarf Banker and Big Wig maximum mana decreased by 33%
  
• Tower Defense mode: All players are now Ordered Chaos (Chaos with the same matching rolls for all 8 players)

Going forward for Classic, balance changes will only be made to outliers, particularly overpowered outliers. The bar for what is considered an outlier will be high. For special modes that are particularly imbalanced, like Tower Defense mode, we’ll consider creative solutions like Ordered Chaos to prevent players from abusing Double Lock-In, Lock-In, Redraw, and legions.

Thanks to Snek and many other players who contributed to discussions around Classic balance.



Leak Gold

• Increased the share of leak gold your team receives (when you break an opponent) that goes to the more behind player on your team
  
• Decreased the share of leak gold going to the more fed player

This mechanic has existed in the game for years, and we’re scaling it up in response to feedback from players.

Bounties

• High income mercenaries: Gold per mythium: 0.3 → 0.2
  
• Power mercenaries: Gold per mythium: 0.25 → 0.3

These new bounties better reflect the true power of each mercenary. It also makes leak percentages more predictive of damage to the king.

It didn’t make sense that Brute gave less bounty than a Fiend. It also didn’t make sense that 3 Drakes had a higher leak percentage than a Needler, but Needler did significantly more damage.



Cartel
- Income after wave 10: -36 → -38

Cartel is the top performing mastermind in top ladder and Division 1 Nova Cup, and we’re okay with that, given Cartel has a high skill cap. However, it’s currently too strong with a high win rate and pick rate as high as the bottom 10 masterminds combined.


Double Lock-In
Starting income: 1 → 2

This buff affects ranked only. Double Lock-In is significantly underperforming to the point where it discourages players from playing Megamind. We considered removing it from the Megamind pool, but felt that would hurt its identity of randomly picking among all masterminds. We intend for Double Lock-In to remain a niche pick and slightly weak at Master+ but don’t want it to feel like an auto-loss for Megamind players.

If Double Lock-In becomes too strong, we’ll consider reverting this change.


Fiesta
- Gold gained from leaking on waves 2-12: Increased by 1
- Gold gained from leaking on waves 13-21: Increased by 2

The changes in patches 11.00, 11.01, and 11.04 over-nerfed Fiesta, so it deserves a buff.


Redraw
Gold cost for Redrawing: 1 to 45 → 1 to 40

We’re happy that Redraw is starting to see play below Master, as well as in Classic, but a buff is in order.



Battle Scars
Stats per stack: 330 health and 3.7% attack speed → 320 health and 3.6% attack speed

High win rate and slightly high pick rate.


Investment
Income: 31 → 30

High pick rate. This should make Investment less of a default pick.


Loan
Income penalty: -31 → -30

Low pick rate. Loan is an interesting spell because it can be used both defensively and offensively, but it’s currently undertuned.


This patch is light on fighter balance, as there are changes to masterminds, mercenaries, and systems that will shake up the meta.


Sky Queen
- Damage: 59 → 60

Slightly low win rate and pick rate.


Treant
- Health: 950 → 940


Tree of Knowledge
- Health: 2300 → 2330

Shifting power from Treant to Tree of Knowledge.


Lioness
- Health: 2250 → 2280
- Damage: 97 → 98


Alpha Male
- Health: 2680 → 2650
- Damage: 102 → 101

Shifting power from Alpha Male to Lioness.


Priestess of the Abyss
- Invigorate: Heal: 8% missing health → 35 + 1.5% max health


Azeria
- Invigorate: Heal: 8% missing health → 100 + 2% max health

This change balances the Azeria-Lost Chieftain-Sacred Steed combo and also leads to more consistent outcomes for Priestess and Azeria. Right now, it's much better (to an extreme) if you get off a last-second heal, not only due to the fact that it’s an extra cast, but also because the heal is based on missing health.


Gatling Gun
- Health: 1020 --> 980
- Attack speed: 2.44 → 2.41


Vulcan Cannon
- Health: 2800 --> 2700
- Attack speed: 2.44 → 2.41

High win rate.


Lord of Death / Hades
- Intellect: Mana restore on kill: 7% → 5%
- Mana regeneration increased by ~15%

Shifting power out of the on-kill mechanic to reduce rng and make Lord of Death and Hades more reliable summoner carries.


The mercenary bounty changes indirectly buff tank income mercenaries and indirectly nerf tank power mercenaries, so these are compensation changes.


Snail
- Damage: 9 → 8


Dragon Turtle
- Damage: 18 → 16


Fiend
- Damage: 20 → 18


Dino
- Damage: 48 → 43


Ghost Knight
- Health: 3730 → 3800


Siege Ram
- Health: 5200 → 5300


Kraken
- Health: 7400 → 7540



Waves 6/13/18
- Staggering delay increased slightly to allow greater separation for split tanking

These waves had a tendency to stack on the same target. This change makes it a bit easier to break them up for 3 and 4-way split tanking.


Wave 17: Metal Dragons
- Health: 3370 → 3400


Wave 20: Maccabeus
- Health: 62000 → 60000

The ability to clear Wave 20 is relatively roll dependent. One positive thing about this is that it acts as a comeback mechanic by neutralizing leads. On the other hand, it can be frustrating, so we’re removing power from Maccabeus.

• Fixed a bug where Gatling Gun and Vulcan Cannon wouldn’t properly prioritize damaged targets in some circumstances. Thanks to Pennywise.
  
• Fixed a bug where tank mercenaries spawned behind your fighters. Thanks to thaeltras.
  
• Fixed a bug where Boars charged past the wave. Thanks to Bonobo and thaeltras.

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:
- Double Lock-In

In patch 11.01, we increased the share of leak gold going to the breaking player and decreased the amount of gold going to teammates.

We’re happy with the positive effects of this change, which include:

• Rewarding players who apply pressure and break their opponents
  
• Increasing the parity between incomers and breakers, rather than always forcing breakers to be the supportive player while incomers were the carry
  
• Improving the early game meta and better aligning the meta of ladder games with tournament play

However, this change had some unintended consequences on snowballing, which we’re addressing by:

• Shifting leak gold from the more fed player to the more behind player
  
• Reducing the snowballing of players who break their opponents with income mercenaries

This way, we can preserve the benefits of the change, while directly addressing community feedback with a real-time lever to rein in snowballing.

We know this has been a hot topic in the community and kindly ask everyone to try this patch with an open mind. Thank you to everyone for giving feedback respectfully. Sometimes the preferred ways to get there are different, but remember we all want what's best for the game :)



Classic

• Bonus essence for voting yes → bonus essence for voting for anything
  
• Hot mode percentage: 80% → 100%. Thanks to Weow.
  
• Hot mode rotation time: 24 hours → 6 hours. Thanks to Weow.
  
• Increased the FairPlay penalty for dodging games. We're also aware of an abuse case around dodging, which we'll be looking into in a future patch. Thanks to Toikan.
  
• Slightly increased the rating adjustment for 3-stacks and moderately increased it for 4-stacks.

Other improvements and fixes

• Improved the win prediction model by decreasing the weight of king health slightly. Thanks to Ofma.
  
• Improved the accuracy of recommended value on waves 11, 13, and 16. Thanks to Drachir and Ofma
  
• Fixed some cases where certain legion spells would unexpectedly disappear after the unit revived. Thanks to thaeltras.
  
• Fixed a bug in Superhero games where Sorcerer was mistakenly lost after being revived (if the unit had both GA and Sorcerer)
  
• Fixed a bug where Campaign boss Drachia on 2-stars would have your king mistakenly start at 100% health instead of 30% health

Hello, players!

We have added support for Brazilian Portuguese and Russian.

The update is now live!

Thanks to the community's support, more players from different regions can now experience "Room of Depression".

Special thanks to:

If you weren't convinced yet that Genome Guardian can feel like a vertical shmup, you sure will be now! Each weapon on Viper fires out of different barrels, each with unique modifiers:

• Weapon 1: rapid, accurate, alternating
  
• Weapon 2: angled spread
  
• Weapon 3: side missiles
  
• Weapon 4: damaging exhaust

Viper is also the first turret you can unlock that can move excluding all the turrets you unlock after finishing the story 😉.

• (perk) Tweezers: Chance of -1 Health when a projectile misses 10% → 5%.
  
• (perk) Hourglass: Now also increases Knockback.
  
• (perk) Amber: Now also increases Knockback.
  
• (perk) Tire: Buffed its effectiveness on regular turrets, but now imposes Health Max -50% (because let's face it, Tire gives you an insane advantage).

• (mode) Shmup: now all you need to do to unlock it is finish the tutorial (aka Extract Mode Depth 0, your first victory)!
  
• (turret) Boombox: will now be unlocked via 10 Extract mode victories instead (if you already have it, you keep it!).
  
• Adjusted the volume of various sound effects (Did you know there's a sound that plays when you start the last wave before victory? Yeah, it was that quiet).
  
• Projectiles on turrets that make projectiles orbit around it now fade in.

• (perk) Mushroom: Won't instakill big purple/white you-know-who anymore (but I'll let it take out an 8th of its Health!)
  
• Shield would sometimes show as negative.
  
• Weapons were getting reduced Range if their Speed was too high.
  
• The recently-introduced weapon Firerate circles would sometimes not appear next to the right weapon.
  
• Weapons with Burst Fire would sometimes build Heat faster if a Firerate buff was received during a wave (which is not what's ever supposed to happen on any weapon).
  
• Explosive weapons were continuously building damage with each shot if they exceeded 60/s Firerate!
  
• Some projectiles would fade out before they actually dissappeared.

• fixed a bug that skin 'Shirogane Noel(plain)' didn't apply in-game.

Greetings Community!

This month we grew the team a little bit more and we've designated certain team members to improve the quality of some of our existing systems. The last 6 months we have lost a little agility in the original development timeline, but it will all pay dividends later this year when we're able to deliver a much more comprehensive game!

Join our Discord if you'd like to see visual updates: https://discord.gg/dimraeth
