Game Balance


Hybrid
- Harpy and Sea Serpent can now be sold for 90% instead of 60%
- Eggsack can be now sold for 90% instead of 95%

King
- Chain Frost: Bounce speed: +43%
- Chain Frost: Damage increase per bounce: 2% >> 3%
- Chain Frost: Attack slow duration against bosses: 1.5 >> 0.5
- Lightning Hammer: Bounce speed +25%
- Lightning Hammer, Immolation, Judgment: Damage: -2%

Legion Spells


Embargo
- Gold and mythium gain: 85 >> 80

Embargo has a very high win rate, and higher than similar risk-taking spells: Creditor and Venture.

Giant Snails
- Health: 470 >> 490
- Damage: 20 >> 21

Guardian Angel
- Maximum health on revive: 1650 >> 1500

Guardian Angel has a high win rate, and higher than similar single-target spells: Protector, Pulverizer, Sorcerer, Titan, and Villain

Magician
- Magic Aura: 20% bonus mana regeneration and mana gain >> +0.3 mana regeneration per second. Works with every mana user except Angler and its upgrades.

Now works more like Sacred Steed, where it’s viable with cheap fighters and strong with more expensive fighters - rather than being only viable with a small number of units. We're sad to say goodbye to the Boar + Magician combo, but believe this design is much better and opens up a lot of new combos.

Mana gained from Magician:
- Proton: +782%
- Fire Archer: +400%
- Harpy: +300% *
- Fire Lord: +275%
- Fenix: +275%
- Zeus: +253%
- Head Chef: +225%
- Atom: +200%

- Hell Gate: -67%
- Great Boar: -90% *
- Red Eyes: -90% *

* These units have abilities that make the net effect situational

Vampire
- Life steal and ability vamp: 20% >> 22%

Buzz / Consort
- Attack speed: 1.05 >> 1.03

Angler
- Max mana: 75 >> 100

This change allows you to sit on Angler for longer, rather than being pressured into upgrading to Bounty Hunter at an inopportune time.

Kingpin
- Health: 4900 >> 4830
- Damage: 200 >> 195

Sky Queen
- Damage: 67 >> 69

Ranger
- Damage: 25 >> 26

Daphne
- Damage: 71 >> 73

Bazooka
- Damage: 31 >> 32

Zeus
- Power Surge: Damage: 75 >> 80

Pyro
- Attack speed: 1.61 >> 1.59

Shifting some power from Pyro into Bazooka and Zeus

Sea Serpent
- Attack speed: 0.89 >> 0.88

Deepcoiler
- Health: 1760 >> 1740
- Damage: 256 >> 252

Safety Mole on wave 8 now makes Deepcoiler 3-shot the wave instead of 2-shot it.

Eternal Wanderer
- Damage: 37 >> 36

Samurai Soul
- Damage: 118 >> 115

Wanderer has a high win rate and pick rate, and higher than all other fortified tanks.

Butcher
- Health: 1270 >> 1300
- Attack speed: 0.95 >> 0.97

Head Chef
- Health: 3500 >> 3600
- Attack speed: 0.95 >> 0.97

- Health: 2500 >> 2350

Elite Archer / Trinity Archer
- Attack speed: 0.99 >> 1.01

Priestess of the Abyss / Azeria
Attack speed: 0.97 >> 0.96

Priestess of the Abyss is arguably the highest skill cap unit in the game. As players continue to optimize her positioning, her win rate has increased, and she's become top tier in high Elo.

Sand Badger
- Health: 2520 >> 2500
- Damage: 76 >> 75

Iron Scales
- Health: 6800 >> 6720
- Damage: 205 >> 201

Starcaller
- Amplify Magic: 30% bonus mana regeneration and mana gain >> +0.5 mana regeneration per second. Works with every mana user except Angler and its upgrades.

Now works more like Sacred Steed, where it’s viable with cheap fighters and strong with more expensive fighters - rather than being only viable with a small number of units.

Mana gained from Amplify Magic:
- Proton: +880%
- Fire Archer: +456%
- Harpy: +363% *
- Zeus: +320%
- Fire Lord: +317%
- Fenix: +317%
- Head Chef: +267%
- Atom: +233%
- Gateguard: +133%
- Sacred Steed: +96%

- Harbinger: +21%
- Arc of Justice: +18%
- Lord of Death: +5% *
- Disciple: +3% *
- Sky Queen: -3% *
- Hades: -3% *
- Azeria: -4%
- Starcaller: -5% *
- Soul Gate: -44%
- Hell Gate: -63%
- Great Boar: -90% *
- Red Eyes: -90% *

* These units have abilities that make the net effect situational

Hydra
- Damage and health decreased by 2.5%
- Damage and damage reduction penalty per stack of hatching early: -20% >> -17.5%

Reverting this change from v7.03. 17.5% feels like the sweet spot, where protecting your Eggsack is rewarded but not overpowered, and intentionally dying Eggsacks aren’t abusive.

Great Boar / Red Eyes
- Mana while charging: +6%

Soul Gate / Hell Gate
- Mana regeneration: +3%
