Backpack Battles News

[h3]Hi everyone,[/h3]

Time for more adjustments! This week, the biggest outlier was Cold Pyromancer, so there will be some nerfs. We will of course monitor the strength of the class and make sure to correct if the adjustments went too far (or not far enough).

If all goes according to plan, the beta branch will come up again next Friday with new content, stay tuned for more info!
