The upcoming February Nova Cup takes place February 24 - 25.

$875 in prizes and sign-up is free - first come first served!
There are up to five skill divisions, so no matter what your rating is, you have a chance to win.
Participation prize: Every participant who plays all of their matches will receive a FREE random card. If you haven't played a tournament yet, this is a great time to join.


- Everyone that is level 3 or higher can join for free! First come, first served. So even if you recently joined the game, feel free to participate!




When you watch Nova Cups on the official channel, aside from enjoying shoutcasted top-tier Legion gameplay, you'll also receive in-game rewards based on how long you watch!

Watch the official Legion TD 2 Twitch stream during a Nova Cup to earn the following rewards:
- Watch for 60 minutes: 2,000 essence
- Watch for an additional 90 minutes: 4,000 additional essence
- Watch for an additional 120 minutes: Random card

In other words, if you watch the Nova Cup both days, you'll earn 6,000 total essence and a random card!

IMPORTANT: You'll need to link your Twitch account to your Legion TD 2 account in order to earn the rewards.

• Sign-ups are open from NOW until February 24 9am PST / 6pm CET.
  
• 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.

(02/14)
- Network stability tweaks
- FairPlay tweaks

Minor patch to round out the edges of some of the v11.01 changes. As always, data & feedback will continue to be closely monitored for more tweaks as needed.

[h2]Masterminds[/h2]

Redraw
- Redraw gold cost formula tweaked to have lower costs early-game (still scales from 1-50)

Kingsguard
- Income: +2 → +3
- Attack speed: +22% → +16%

Kingsguard’s low income made it too niche; this power shift should bring it closer to the other masterminds to make it a more conventional pick.

[h2]Fighters[/h2]

Slime Larva
- Attack speed: 1.79 → 1.81

Low win rate.

Gatling Gun / Vulcan Cannon
- Attack speed: 2.44 → 2.35

High win rate. Post-rework, it's been fun seeing the gun mowing down enemies from long-range, but a quick nerf was definitely in order.

Priestess of the Abyss
- Attack speed: 0.948 → 0.935

Azeria
- Attack speed: 0.971 → 0.957

High win rate.

[h2]Mercenaries[/h2]

Re-buffing early game power mercenaries to encourage aggression.

Brute
- Health: 800 → 840

Imp
- Attack speed: 1.03 → 1.06

Mimic
- Health: 2150 → 2270
- Attack speed: 1.18 → 1.19

Ogre
- Health: 2700 → 2800

Ghost Knight
- Health: 3700 → 3730

Centaur
- Health: 3800 → 3920
- Attack speed: 1.54 → 1.5

Needler
- Damage: 131 → 126

High win rate.

[h2]Waves[/h2]

Late game wave buffs to help games close out sooner.

Wave 18: Wale Chiefs
- Damage: 180 → 185
- Poison-tipped Pole: Single target damage: 260 → 270

Wave 19: Dire Toads
- Health: 4350 → 4400
- Damage: 114 → 116

Wave 20: Maccabeus
- Damage: 200 → 205

[h2]Balance Watchlist[/h2]
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:
- Mercenaries and game pacing

We’re continuing to closely monitor the meta to ensure a variety of strategies are viable and will make improvements as more data and feedback rolls in.

[h2]Bug Fixes[/h2]

- Graphics: Fixed a bug in Giga Mercs where Mimic was accidentally disappearing instead of growing larger
- Graphics: Fixed a bug with Arc of Justice missile not being rendered from the correct start/end points
- Classic: Tower Defense: Fixed a bug with Cursed Casket (+ upgrades) not attacking/casting its spell properly
