September Season Update

[h2]GENERAL[/h2]
  • Acid Turret, Sentry Tower and Mana Crystal are now 33% smaller

This change allows these structures to be placed in front of Statues to defend, which should be an excellent quality of life improvement.

  • Mana veins will continue to produce mana if the territory around them is lost, or controlled by the enemy Mage


[h2]CARDS[/h2]
Archers
  • Damage reduced by 20%


Dragon Slayer
  • Damage per attack reduced by 15%


Goblins
  • Damage reduced by 23%


Goblins have high damage output, body count, and low-mana cost. All of these traits make them a great addition to any deck, regardless of strategy. We wanted to keep the Goblins as a 2 mana swarm minion with a fast attack, so we lowered their damage to help balance out the total damage Goblins can deal.

Tidal Wave
  • Damage against structures reduced by 65%

Previously, Tidal Wave dealt 100% of its damage to enemy structures. Every other damage spell (excluding Boulder) deals 35% of their normal damage to structures. The recent changes that allow spells to be cast without vision, as well as the health decrease to player spawned structures, have caused Tidal Wave to excel at countering Spider Nest, Mana Crystal, and Whelp Roost. The reduction in damage means Tidal Wave will still be a viable option for damaging these buildings, however it will not be as big a mana swing.
