[h3]Hotfix 3 (v12.08.2 server-only fix)[/h3][p]Balance[/p][p]Ogre (buff) [/p]

• [p]Removed mana on attack,[/p]
• [p]Added 1.1 mana regen,[/p]

[p]Strictly a buff, particularly where Ogre is running instead of attacking.[/p][p][/p][h3]Hotfix 2 (v12.08.2)[/h3][p][/p][p]State of the Meta (dev note)[/p][p]Based on preliminary data, the recent nerfs to early game all-ins moved the needle on key metrics:[/p]

• [p]Average end wave: 14.1 → 14.6  [/p]
• [p]Early game save rate: 27.5% → 24.7%[/p]
• [p]Early game power send rate: 35% → 33%[/p]

[p]This hotfix patch’s nerfs to early game power mercs will also help. We’ll continue to monitor and make changes as needed.[/p][p]Fighters[/p][p][/p][p]Pipsqueak (buff)[/p][p]DPS unchanged[/p]

• [p]Damage decreased by 17%[/p]
• [p]Attack speed increased by 21%[/p]

[p]Now has a smoother threshold distribution on early game waves (previously had an unexpectedly bad threshold on wave 3).[/p][p]Lumerian (buff)[/p]

• [p]Attack speed increased by 1.4%[/p]

• [p]Now maintains stacks of Trium of Power after reviving from Guardian Angel[/p]

[p]Tip: Lumerian shines with a strong tank frontline and attack speed buffs[/p][p]Mercenaries[/p][p]Shifting power from cheap power mercs to mid-priced ones.[/p][p][/p][p]Robo (nerf)[/p][p]Attack speed decreased by 2%[/p][p][/p][p]Brute (nerf)[/p][p]Health decreased by 2.3%[/p][p][/p][p]Imp (nerf)[/p]

• [p]Health decreased by 1.4%[/p]
• [p]Attack speed decreased by 0.5%[/p]

[p][/p][p]Safety Mole (nerf)[/p][p]Safety Aura: Damage: -12% → 12.5%[/p][p][/p][p]Pack Leader (nerf)[/p][p]Leadership Aura: Damage reduction: -18.5% → 19%[/p][p][/p][p]Ogre (buff)[/p][p]Damage increased by 1.1%[/p][p]Small buff, as Ogre is performing decently but getting crowded out by cheaper mercenaries. [/p][p][/p][p]Centaur (buff)[/p]

• [p]Health increased by 1%[/p]
• [p]Damage increased by 2.2%[/p]

[p][/p][p]Classic[/p][p]Giga Mercs[/p][p]Safety Mole and Pack Leader auras no longer scale, as these abilities were breaking the game[/p][h3]

Hotfix 1 (v12.08.1)[/h3][p]Balance[/p][p]Ogre[/p]

• [p]Damage increased by 4.4%[/p]
• [p]Rage: Lifesteal: 20% → 25%[/p]

[p]The Ogre rework came out a bit weak.[/p][p][/p][p]Lumerian[/p]

• [p]Attack speed increased by 3%[/p]

[p]Still monitoring, but for now, a small buff to help Lumerian ramp faster.[/p][p]
[/p][p]Fiesta[/p][p]Gold scaling: 8-50 → 8-48[/p][p]Fiesta is too strong now with last patch’s changes to wave 1 leak gold. We like the dynamism Fiesta adds to the early game, so we’re shaving off a bit of mid to late game power. Will continue to monitor.[/p][p][/p][p]Fixes[/p][p]Fixed eco penalty falsely triggering for dual builders[/p]

[p][/p][p][/p][p] [/p][h3]New Unit: Pipsqueak[/h3]

• [p] Tier 4 (Cost: 155g) [/p]
• [p] Role: DPS[/p]
• [p] Ranged / Magic / Swift[/p]

[p][/p][p] [/p][h3]New Unit: Lumerian[/h3]

• [p] Upgrade Cost: 260g [/p]
• [p] Role: DPS[/p]
• [p] Ranged / Magic / Swift[/p]

[p][/p][p]Trium of Power[/p][p]Every third attack deals 0.3% max health magic ability damage, and gains 50 max health, 1.5% damage reduction, and 5% attack speed for the current wave. Stacks indefinitely.[/p][p][/p][p]Pipsqueak, nicknamed Pip, is a straightforward magic DPS unit without any flashy abilities. What you see is what you get.[/p][p]Lumerian is the game's newest hypercarry who becomes more powerful every 3rd attack![/p][p][/p][p]Read more about our design philosophy on game balance, and use Drachbot to see mastermind, unit, and spell win rates and pick rates! Check out Jules' Gameplay & Balance AMA from this past month.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]State of the meta (dev note):[/p][p]The meta is quite dynamic right now with a nice mix of incoming, king upgrades, saving, power mercs, split sending, and all-inning. It’s intended that some games end before wave 10, though early game all-ins are a bit too strong, which incentivizes safe play.
[/p][p]To improve this, we’re:[/p]

• [p]Buffing king upgrades[/p]
• [p]Nerfing wave 6 against the king[/p]
• [p]Nerfing full eco strategies[/p]
• [p]Nerfing the two top-performing power mercenaries (Brute and Pack Leader) [/p]

[p]How to counter early game all-ins: [/p]

• [p]Don't push workers when your opponents are saving mythium[/p]
• [p]If your teammate is being saved on, build extra defenses to cover for them[/p]
• [p]Apply pressure so your opponents can’t easily save mythium for multiple waves[/p]
• [p]\[Optional] Undercut your opponents by sending aggressively one wave before you expect them to send[/p]
• [p]Upgrade the king on the wave you expect them to send. It's more important to do this than to send an extra Snail for +6 gold[/p]

[p][/p][p][/p][p]Full Eco / "Sui" [/p]

• [p]Implemented a new system for detecting and penalizing players who don't build to hold the wave[/p]
• [p]Old detection: Hidden with a 1-wave grace period [/p]
• [p]Old penalty: No leak compensation gold and 20% reduced income[/p]
• [p]New detection:
• [p]New penalty: 50% reduced mythium generation for that wave's battle phase[/p]

[p]This new system has the following benefits: [/p]

• [p]A better, more consistent balance lever that can be easily tuned[/p]
• [p]No more 1-wave grace period, which was being abused[/p]
• [p]If you make a mistake and forget to build, you can rebuild due to leak compensation gold. The old penalty made it largely impossible to rebuild, which forced you to continue to full eco[/p]
• [p]Transparent detection[/p]

[p]While we still want to support unique strategies, full eco has become too strong and polarizing.[/p][p][/p][h3]Masterminds[/h3][p]We believe in incremental changes. Masterminds are largely substitutes for each other, which means if one mastermind is slightly better than another, it takes the lion's share of the pick rate.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Miner [/p][p]Starting gold: -15 --> -16[/p][p]Very high pick rate and overshadowing Castle as the premier scaling mastermind.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Scrapper [/p][p]Scrap: Sell percentage: 85% → 90%[/p][p]Low pick rate and win rate.[/p][p]
[/p][p]Stash [/p][p]Decreased Stash growth amount on waves 12-21 by 2-3%[/p][p]High pick rate. Encouraging players to Stash strategically a bit earlier, rather than using it primarily in the late game.[/p][p][/p][h3]Legion Spells[/h3][p][/p][p][/p][p]Executioner [/p][p]Execute threshold: 13% (6.5% for ranged) → 14% (7% for ranged)[/p][p]Slightly low pick rate and win rate.[/p][p]
[/p][p]Magician [/p][p]Mana regeneration: 0.46 → 0.44[/p][p]Slightly high pick rate and win rate.[/p][p]
[/p][p]Titan [/p][p]Health: 1400 → 1450[/p][p]Slightly low pick rate and win rate.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]King [/h3][p]Upgrade Spell: 5% → 5.5%[/p][p]This change is intentionally conservative, as not long ago when Upgrade Spell was at 6%, we had a very income-and-king-heavy meta. [/p][p]Additionally, the extreme cases are being addressed this patch (wave 6 all-ins and full eco).[/p][p]Pro tip: Beyond the early game, an extra king upgrade is often more valuable than +6 gold from a Snail.[/p][p][/p][h3]Fighters[/h3][p][/p][p][/p][p]Chained Fist [/p][p]Damage decreased by 11%[/p][p]
[/p][p]Oathbreaker [/p][p]Health decreased by 1.8%[/p][p]High pick rate and win rate. Three price points makes Chained Fist better than other tanks.[/p][p][/p][p] [/p][p]Atom / Nucleus [/p][p]Health decreased by 4.5%[/p][p]Very high pick rate. This nerf makes it more important to have tanks with Atom-oriented builds.[/p][p]
[/p][p]Pollywog [/p][p]Attack speed increased by 1.7%[/p][p]Slightly low pick rate and low win rate.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Sunfang [/p][p]Health and damage increased by 1%[/p][p]Not rewarding enough compared to Howlers.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Fire Elemental [/p][p]Damage decreased by 3.6%[/p][p]High win rate.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Spectral Scallywag [/p][p]Reworked Unyielding Spirit[/p]

• [p]Health gained per stack: 10 (doubled on waves 11+) --> 6-23 based on wave number[/p]
• [p]Damage gained per stack: 0.5 (doubled on waves 11+) --> 0.3-1.1 based on wave number[/p]

[p]This smooths out Scallywag's power curve and makes him less unexpectedly strong on wave 5. Weaker on waves 1-5 and 11-17. Stronger on waves 6-10 and 18-21. [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Sacred Steed [/p][p]Health increased by 2.7%[/p][p]
[/p][p]Pegasus [/p]

• [p]Health increased by 3.6%[/p]
• [p]Damage increased by 1%[/p]

[p]Low win rate.[/p][p]
[/p][p]Honeyflower / Deathcap [/p][p]Attack speed decreased by 2%[/p][p]High win rate, and one of the strongest openings in the game.
[/p][p][/p][p]Ocean Templar [/p][p]Resonance: Missing health regeneration: 3% → 3.25%[/p][p]Low usage and win rate. Adding more power budget to Templar's ability.[/p][p]
[/p][p]APS / MPS [/p][p]Attack speed increased by 2.7%[/p][p]Slightly low pick rate and win rate.[/p][p][/p][h3]Mercenaries[/h3][p][/p][p][/p][p]Brute [/p][p]Damage decreased by 1.9%[/p][p]High usage rate, slightly high win rate.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Safety Mole [/p][p]Safety Aura: 12% damage reduction, -10% damage → 15% damage reduction, -12% damage[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Pack Leader [/p][p]Leadership Aura: 15% damage, -18% damage reduction → 15% damage, -18.5% damage reduction[/p][p]Shifting power from Pack Leader → Safety Mole.[/p][p]
[/p][p]Ogre [/p]

• [p]DPS decreased by 35%[/p]
• [p]New ability: Rage[/p]

[p][/p][p]Rage[/p][p]Every 10 attacks, becomes enraged, gaining 50% attack speed and 20% lifesteal, and deals 1% max health damage (0.1% to the king) for 5 seconds.[/p][p]As a relatively expensive power mercenary, Ogre deserves a cool ability. Ogre smash![/p][p][/p][h3]Waves[/h3][p][/p][p][/p][p]Wave 6: Rockos [/p][p]Impale: Max stacks against king: 3 → 2[/p][p]All-ins on wave 6 are strong, particularly in low MMR.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Wave 12: Mantises [/p][p]Health increased by 1.5%[/p][p]
[/p][p]Wave 13: Drill Golems [/p][p]Health decreased by 1.4%[/p][p]Shifting power from wave 13 → 12.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Wave 15: Quadrapuses [/p][p]Health decreased by 1.8%[/p][p]
[/p][p]Wave 16: Cardinals [/p][p]Health increased by 1.9%[/p][p]Shifting power from wave 15 → 16.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]Balance Watchlist[/h3][p]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:[/p]

• [p]Crab Warlock - We're aware this unit is underperforming in high MMR[/p]
• [p]Fiesta - May be strong after the leak gold changes to wave 1 last patch[/p]
• [p]Lock-In: Random - May be strong[/p]

[p][/p][p][/p][h3]Improvements[/h3]

• [p]You can now hide your country flag in the loading screen and when connected to the game server by toggling it off in Settings (must be toggled before the game starts). Note that country flags will still show up in leaderboards and other places.[/p]
• [p]Royal Guard's Radiant Shielding stacks now get saved for match history builds[/p]
• [p]Stash art improvement[/p]
• [p]Pinging in certain spots on the map show in chat now (Lanes, Gate, Leak Area)[/p]
• [p]Fixed Safety mole and packleader scaling in giga mercs (4v4)[/p]

[h3]Hotfix 1 (v12.07.1)[/h3][p]Balance[/p][p]Kingpin
Base health increased by 2.6%

This change accidentally didn’t make it in.

Full Eco
Going full eco (not playing to hold the wave) now gets detected and penalized faster[/p][p]
While we still want to support unique strategies, full eco has become too strong and polarizing.

Fixed some descriptions

• Sign-ups are open from NOW until August 23 5pm CEST.
  
• To sign up, find a teammate and form a party. After you're both in the party, have one player type "/signup [team name]" (e.g. /signup Snail Kings) in chat. You should see a confirmation message that your sign-up went through. For those who participated in previous Nova Cups, you no longer need to do /join to signup.
  
• The first 16 teams to sign up in each division can participate. For division 1 and 2 the top 8 teams are drafted per division. Other teams are waitlisted. There are usually no-shows, so waitlisted teams are encouraged to be present in the Discord and ready to play. View the team list to see your sign-up position and division.
  
• If there are more than 32 teams checked in, there will be an additional best-of-1 qualifying round to allow more teams to participate. It is a best-of-1, rather than a best-of-3, to keep the event from running overly long.
  
• Both players must join the Legion TD 2 Official Tournament Discord. Make sure to set your server nickname to match your in-game name.

• You may sign-up as a solo with a suggested team name using the "/signup [team name]" command. Solo teams will be added to the Public Teams list, then be formed into teams on the day of the tournament. Solo teams will be randomly assigned a team name from either of its members.
  
• If there is a waitlist, team sign-ups will always take priority over solo sign-ups
  
• If you sign up as a solo, but then you find a teammate, you can re-sign up as a team any time before check-ins start. Just use the /signup command again with the new teammate. The tournament organizer will void your old solo signup after they process your new team signup.
  
• After check-ins are over, all checked-in solo players will be randomly formed into teams by the tournament organizer. You cannot request a specific teammate at this point; if you want to play with a specific person, you should have signed up as a team instead.

It is still strongly recommended to sign-up as a team to guarantee your spot in the tournament and to give you time to practice with your teammate beforehand.
