The upcoming July Nova Cup takes place July 22 - 23.

$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 if you joined the game during the free to play weekend, 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 July 22 at 9am PST / 6pm 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. 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.

Emotes are now more interactive!

• Emotes now display a graphic on the ground, like a ping, in addition to next to the power score graphic.
  
• Emotes now take into account fog of war. This means you can use emotes to communicate with allies during the build phase, without being worried about giving away information to your opponents.
  
• Emotes can now be enabled/disabled in Options (Screenshot). Enable only your favorite emotes and leave the rest disabled keep the window lean & easy to use.

[h2]Tutorial & Campaign Voiceovers[/h2]
The entire Tutorial and Crystal Coast Campaign have been upgraded with voiceovers! This is part of our effort to improve the game’s first impression on new players who will be joining during the Play-For-Free weekend!

[h2]New Player Quests[/h2]

The Game Coach now gives new players some introductory goals to achieve in Ranked games. These quests can only be completed once and are intended to ease new players into Ranked play.

A future update may expand upon the quest system, but for now we’re focusing on the new player experience in anticipation of new players during Play-For-Free weekend.

[h2]New AI difficulties[/h2]

• New AI difficulties for Expert → Grandmaster!

• Terminator & Ultimate Terminator trophies are awarded for Grandmaster difficulty only.

[h2]New Unlockables[/h2]

[h3]New Secret Card: Kalm Centaur[/h3]




[h2]Legion Spells[/h2]
Glacial Touch
- Damage: 45 → 50

Low win rate and pick rate.

Hero
- Damage and damage reduction: 5% → 4.5%

High win rate and very high pick rate, Hero has been a staple pick for years. Nerfing it to give other spells a chance to shine.

Protector
- Health: 700 → 650

Very high pick rate.

Titan
- Health: 1350 → 1300

High pick rate and win rate.

[h2]Fighters[/h2]

Fire Archer
- Attack speed: 0.89 → 0.91

Dark Mage
- Mana regeneration decreased by 7%

Shifting power from Dark Mage to Fire Archer.

Sacred Steed / Pegasus
- Mana regeneration decreased by 4%

High pick rate.

Gateguard / Harbinger
- Attack speed: 1.01 → 0.985

High win rate and pick rate.

Tree of Life
- Devotion: Healing: 5% → 4.75%

Being conservative because (1) the win rate isn’t particularly high, and (2) small regen nerfs can be the difference between holding and leaking 50% of the wave.

Eternal Wanderer
- Attack speed: 0.85 → 0.88

Low win rate and pick rate.

Eggsack
- Health: 2300 → 2400

Low win rate and pick rate. Encouraging Eggsack opening.

Millennium / Doomsday Machine
- Attack speed: 0.63 → 0.65

Low pick rate.

[h2]Mercenaries[/h2]

Brute
- Damage: 59 → 60

Low win rate.

Hermit
- Attack speed: 1.06 → 1.1

Low win rate and usage rate.

Witch
- Attack speed: 1.35 → 1.315

High win rate and usage rate.

Ogre
- Attack speed: 1.38 → 1.36

Very high usage rate.

[h2]Waves[/h2]

Wave 6: Rockos
- Damage: 37 → 38

Last patch’s rework has accomplished its design goals, but the wave is slightly weak.

[h2]Balance Watchlist[/h2]
The dev team is constantly monitoring game balance, between looking at data and listening to community feedback. If specific units/spells are being more closely monitored than usual, they will be listed in this Balance Watchlist section. For this patch, the following are on the watchlist:

• Gatling Gun & Vulcan Cannon

[h2]Systems[/h2]

• New Player Experience: Playing Classic now requires your account to be level 3+. This is meant to steer new players towards Ranked, which offers much fairer matchmaking. As always, players can still be invited to a party and queued up for Classic, even if they don’t meet the level requirement.
  
• Profile: Tactician profile playstyle is now based on Pressure Applied rather than # of waves skipped

[h2]Campaign[/h2]

Victra (Hard)
- Mythium gained per attack: 0.5 --> 0.45

Some recent AI improvements made her too strong. This tweak keeps her mortal, but just barely.



[h3]Improvements[/h3]

• Graphics: Added "Dissolve FX" upon unit creation & death that are colored corresponding to your player color. You can switch back to the old fade in/fade out effect in Options, if you prefer.
  
• Performance: Various optimizations to make the game run smoother. The loading screen may take a little longer as a tradeoff.
  
• Look & Feel: Startup screen now features a new animated logo
  
• Look & Feel: Menus improved with various smoother animations/transitions
  
• Look & Feel: All references to “Hire” mercenary have now been changed to “Send” mercenary, to be consistent with pings & the language that players use. This also better communicates to players that mercenaries are sent to the opponent’s lane, rather than defending your own lane.
  
• Tutorial: UI visual improvements for more consistent style
  
• Tutorial: Game Coach is now disabled for tutorials (he would give wrong/misleading advice, plus it was information overload)
  
• Tutorial: Fixed a bug in the Incoming mission, where mythium would be incorrectly still gathered on wave 1 after failing the mission & restarting
  
• Tutorial: Saving mission now speeds up the wave timer if you’ve finished spending your gold
  
• Profile: “NEW!” is now only shown if you earn an item for the first time, rather than gaining 1 more of an item you already have

[h3]Fixes[/h3]

• Weekly Challenge: Fixed a bug where challenge games were being picked from lower rated games (~Diamond) than intended
  
• Campaign: Fixed a bug where campaign opponents didn’t repick their mastermind playstyle after a Restart
  
• Campaign: Fixed a bug where campaign opponents sometimes built an unintended opening after a Restart
  
• Legion Spells: Fixed a bug where upgrading a fighter after picking a Legion Spell wouldn’t allow you to place the Legion Spell on that fighter

Want more of these? /r/LegionTD2 has memes every Monday, courtesy of ToHoe. There will also likely be lots of activity there during Play-For-Free Weekend, so if you haven't joined, now's a great time!



With this update, we are excited to make Legion TD 2 more accessible for newer players. The more new players that stick around, the better matchmaking will be, and the more funding the game will have for ongoing development.

We're doing our best to get the word out, but we'll also be relying on you - existing players - to help us. Even if it's as simple as actively playing the game and being kind to your teammates, you make a difference!

Thank you again for playing Legion TD 2! We hope you continue to enjoy the game.

If you've enjoyed the game, but haven't left a review yet, please consider posting a short (hopefully positive ) review for the game! If the game reaches 90% positive, Steam will give it more visibility = more players!

If you enjoy these updates, please give it a Thumbs Up, too!

And as always, if you have constructive criticism, let's chat about it. Discord and reddit are our main channels of communication, and aside from the development team, there are community helpers who can ensure your feedback is heard, as well as answer pretty much anything you've ever wanted to know about the game. If you want a guaranteed answer from the devs, the monthly AMAs on /r/LegionTD2 are your best bet.

Sincerely,
The Legion TD 2 Team

Congratulations to the winners of last month's Nova Cup!

[h2]New Unit: Howler[/h2]

Howler Stats

• Tier 2 (Cost: 35g)
  
• Role: Versatile
  
• Melee / Pierce / Natural
  
• Wolf Pack: Each attack applies a stack of Wolf Prey for 3 seconds (stacking up to 10 times). Deals 6% (3% to bosses) bonus damage for each stack of Wolf Prey on its attack target.
  

[h2]New Unit: Sunfang[/h2]

Sunfang Stats

• Tier 2 Upgrade (Cost: 160g)
  
• Role: Versatile
  
• Melee / Pierce / Natural
  
• Wolf Pack: Each attack applies a stack of Wolf Prey for 3 seconds (stacking up to 10 times). Deals 6% (3% to bosses) bonus damage for each stack of Wolf Prey on its attack target.

Starting this patch, the first time you purchase each premium essence bundle, you get a big chunk of premium essence for FREE!

Every premium essence purchase goes towards supporting the game’s continued development. Thank you to everyone who continues to support the game. Without your support, the game would not be where it is today.

P.S. Remember to enter a creator code for 10% bonus premium essence! (and supporting a creator in the process!)

[h2]New Unlockables[/h2]

Cool off from the summer heat with three new summery skins, including one more honorable mention from the community skin competition!

[h3]New Skin: Beach Party Cannoneer[/h3]
Original concept by Drachir

[h3]New Skin: Tropical Imp[/h3]


[h3]New Skin: Cryo Fire Lord[/h3]


[h3]New Cards: Campaign, King, and Worker Cards[/h3]

Introducing new collectible cards for the 14 campaign opponents as well as Earth King, Sky King, and Worker!
- These are standard (non-secret) cards with legendary rarity
- These cards are only obtainable via the Card Trader (they cannot be found in-game)



[h3]General[/h3]

Haste (4v4 Dual Building)
- Attack speed bonus to enemies: 2% → 3%
- AOE reduction for enemies: 45% → 47.5%. This nerf also affects Hades’ Necromancy.

Dual building is too strong when mastered and is currently a point of frustration.

King
- Upgrade Regen: 0.005% → 0.006%

Right now if your king takes too much damage, upgrading regen often seals your fate by giving up too much pressure. A regen buff makes recover + scale a viable alternative.

[h3]Legion Spells[/h3]

Counterattack
- Mythium gained: 50 → 55
- Mythium gained per leak: 50 → 55

Low win rate and very low pick rate.

Divine Blessing
- Health: 2150 → 2000

High win rate and pick rate.

[h3]Fighters[/h3]

Bone Warrior
- Health: 100 → 140

Bringing back Bone Warrior as an off-tank in the early game.

Dark Mage
- Damage: 34 → 32

Shifting power from Dark Mage to Bone Warrior.

Chained Fist
- Health: 210 → 220

More cheap unit buffs.

Pack Rat
- Health: 620 → 640

Low win rate.

Gargoyle
- Health: 270 → 280
- Attack speed: 0.89 → 0.91

Gargoyle promotes aggressive early game plays, which is a fun and interesting strategy. It was over-nerfed back when cheap unit spam was overpowered.

Harpy / Sky Queen
- Attack speed: 1.49 → 1.46

High win rate.

Angler
- Health: 420 → 380
- Damage: 19 → 17

High win rate. Nerfing Angler in the early game. Mid and late game, where Angler doesn't rely as much on its stats, it will be similarly viable.

Rogue Wave
- Delusion: ability damage amplification: 16% → 20%

Fire Elemental
- Attack speed: 0.806 → 0.82

Low win rate and pick rate.

Slime Siren
- Attack speed: 1.37 → 1.34

High win rate.

Nekomata
- Attack speed: 1.03 → 1.05

Low win rate. After the Slime Siren nerf and Nekomata and Gargoyle buffs, all the arcane tanks should be in a reasonably balanced spot.

Chloropixie
- Damage: 46 → 49
- Mythium gained: 6 → 5

Stronger when used as DPS, but weaker when used as fodder or in a split. Encouraging smarter use of Chloropixie.

Sakura
- Attack speed: 1.14 → 1.12

Shifting power from Sakura to Chloropixie.

Violet
- Mana regeneration increased by 5%

Slightly low win rate and pick rate.

Eternal Wanderer / Samurai Soul
- Attack speed: 0.83 → 0.85

Low pick rate.

Sea Serpent
- Health: 660 → 680

Deepcoiler
- Health: 2010 → 2070

Very low pick rate.

Radiant Halo / Arc of Justice
- Attack speed: 1.15 → 1.13

High win rate.

Gatling Gun / Vulcan Cannon
- Attack speed: 2.2 → 2.17

High win rate. Partially reverting last patch’s buff.

Banana Bunk
- Damage: 65 → 68
- Barbs: Damage reflect: 15 + 10% → 13 + 10%

High win rate. Shifting power from the ability to autoattack damage to make it more consistent with Banana Haven. Still an overall nerf.

Gateguard / Harbinger / Lord of Death / Hades / Shadow Dancer / Dread Knight
- After a summoned unit has been alive for 50 seconds, it starts degenerating 10% max health per second

Weaker when holding for teammates, which was a point of frustration.

[h3]Mercenaries[/h3]

Witch
- Attack speed: 1.43 → 1.35

Still the top performing mercenary.

[h3]Waves[/h3]

Wave 6 (Rockos)
Damage: 40 → 37
- Impale reworked
— Old: Each attack has a 25% chance to deal 150% damage
— New: Each attack amplifies damage by 3% (1.5% to the king), stacking up to 10 times

This removes rng from the ability, rewards having multiple units partially tank, and incentivizes cheaper units in the early game.

[h3]Balance Watchlist[/h3]
The dev team is constantly monitoring game balance, between looking at data and listening to community feedback. If specific units/spells are being more closely monitored than usual, they will be listed in this Balance Watchlist section. For this patch, the following are on the watchlist:

• Treant + upgrades
  
• Grarl + upgrades
  
• Eggsack
  
• Cartel

[h3]New Mouse Cursor[/h3]

Long overdue, the mouse cursor has received a modern refresh!

[h2]Improvements[/h2]

• Emotes: Added a clickable button to use emotes. We’re still gathering feedback and will likely make other improvements to the emotes system in the future. (Screenshot)
  
• Game Coach: Added the “Randomize Every Game” option in the Shop > Game Coach tab
  
• Matchmaking: Improved match fairness for players with less than 10 ranked games in the current season. For such players, it will take into account last season’s peak Elo. This should greatly improve match fairness at the start of seasons, as well as for players who are returning from a break and starting the season a bit late.
  
• Creditor: Earned gold message now displays “MAX” if you earned max gold (Screenshot) and a percentage if you earned less than max
  
• Postgame Builds: Mousing over a unit icon now shows the unit name

[h2]Fixes[/h2]

• King Upgrades: Fixed a bug where a queued king upgrade wouldn’t go through if you hit 20 mythium just before the wave started (Credits to Kidev)
  
• Parties: Fixed a bug where a party invite from a friend in another player’s party would display the invite from the party owner, instead of the friend
  
• Cards: Fixed a bug where Game Coach cards were not able to be donated or sold
  
• Nekomata: Fixed a bug where the max stacks re-texture wasn’t showing up

[h2]Known Bugs[/h2]

• Currently investigating a bug from last patch where the main menu background wrongly shows up in-game, preventing player actions.

This weekend (June 10-11) is the Nekomata Cup! It's like the Nova Cup, but a new time schedule friendlier for Asia/Australia/African players, as well as European players!

Sign-up is FREE! Tune in to http://twitch.tv/ltd2 for casting by Shadowings on the days of the event.



With this update, we are excited to introduce new doggos to the game . These units should be easier-to-use compared to some of the other recent new units, while still offering interesting strategies.

We're also excited to introduce the First Purchase Bonus to encourage more people to support the game's development; even if it's just a one-time purchase, every purchase really does help.

Thank you again for playing Legion TD 2! We hope you continue to enjoy the game.

If you've enjoyed the game, but haven't left a review yet, please consider posting a short review for the game! It really helps get the word out there.

If you enjoy these updates, please give it a Thumbs Up, too!

And as always, if you have constructive criticism, let's chat about it. Discord and reddit are our main channels of communication, and aside from the development team, there are community helpers who can ensure your feedback is heard, as well as answer pretty much anything you've ever wanted to know about the game. If you want a guaranteed answer from the devs, the monthly AMAs on reddit are your best bet.

We are excited to announce our FIRST EVER tournament tailored towards players in Asia, Oceania, Europe, and Africa! Signup is, as always, open to everyone!

The upcoming Nekomata Cup takes place June 10 - 11.

$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.



Based on the amount of sign ups there will be up to 5 divisions with the following prizes:

--- Division 1: 1st: $300, 2nd: $150
--- Division 2: 1st: $150
--- Division 3: 1st: 18,750 PE (worth $125)
--- Division 4: 1st: 15,000 PE (worth $100)
--- Division 5: 1st: 7200 PE (worth $50)

(Prizes will be split up between both players)




When you watch Nekomata Cup 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!

• Sign-ups are open from NOW until June 10 at 6pm KST (UTC+9) / 11am 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.
  
• The first 16 teams to sign up in each division can participate. 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.
