October Open Bash - Final Results and Stats!
This past weekend there was a BIGMOON BASH, where Beasties got fired up to play and coaches around the world could challenge each other for a limited time!
This was our first open Bash since the last massive balance patch. Lots of Beasties were buffed or nerfed or both! And new game mechanics hit the scene, most notably Double Block. Let's see how things shook up this time around, starting with the lineup of top-scoring players!

[h2]📊 Beastie Usage Stats![/h2]
As has become tradition, we've collected a ton of data on Beastie usage during this event and we're happy to share that data with you for further investigation!
[h3]> Check out the STATS here![/h3]
Feels like coming home - a lot of the top-used Beasties are familiar staples at this point like Bongus, Bandicraft, Hopra and Lunaptra. But there are some surprise hits just below that... Fetcham is one of the top-used Beasties, beating out Servace for perhaps the first time! And if you treat each unique combination of Beastie and trait as a separate Beastie (which we typically do for balance analysis), Mistic with the Intangible trait is actually a single most used one, with a surprising bump in popularity since previous Bashes. Perhaps most exciting of all is seeing Trat in the top 10 usage for the first time... the community hero finally has a PvP use case and it's heartwarming to see.
Looking lower on the list and at the top 50% usage, it looks like Magpike, Musselbound, Pladion and Deluja are some of the most slept-on Beasties right now. All of them didn't see a ton of usage in general, but were quite prevalnt on higher-ranked teams.
There's still lots to discover in the new meta - it feels like players are still finding new combinations and strategies every day. We'll be keeping an eye on how things shift in the Bashes to come!
