v3.15: Nekomata, Scoreboard, Roll Recommender, Mercenary/Worker Queue



v3.15 Patch Notes

- Released to Public Test Realm (PTR). How do I join PTR?
- Released to live servers!

NEW! Shrine Tier 2




Nekomata
- Cost: 60 gold + 1 supply
- Movement type: Ground
- Health: 640 (Arcane)
- Damage: 32 (Pierce)
- Attack speed: 1
- Range: Melee

Spirit Offering
Costs 20 gold. Eat a tasty fish to permanently increase health by 180 and damage by 9. At max (7) stacks, gains Devour, healing for 8% of its max health each time it gets a kill.

NEW! In-game Scoreboard

- Your score is based on the new Power Score (see below)



Players, especially new players, frequently commented that they thought they were doing well until they suddenly lost. The in-game scoreboard provides quicker feedback when they get ahead or fall behind, which should help with the learning curve.

Power Score
- MVP Score has been replaced by Power Score, which takes into account your value, gold, gold spent on workers, and mythium
- Power Score is a measure of how strong you are, not necessarily how well you're playing. You can think of it as Legion TD 2's version of KDA
- Power Score updates at the start of each day (battle phase) to avoid giving away real-time information

The old MVP Score formula took into account lane matchups and sending patterns to describe how well you played. The new Power Score reflects simply how strong you are. This should make the formula easier to interpret and more relevant for the in-game scoreboard.

NEW! Roll Recommender

- Instead of having the first 6 fighters checked by default, the recommender will pre-select a well-balanced roll.
- Some tips will also be displayed if your roll is lacking something important





This should help newer players pick better rolls and learn what makes a good roll. It also offers a more relaxed way to play Mastermind for players that find roll selection stressful.

NEW! Mercenary Queue

- Hold Shift+Click to queue up a mercenary that you can't afford. It will be hired as soon as you can afford it.
- Hold Shift+Right Click to dequeue.
- If you have multiple mercenaries queued up, it will try to save up to try to afford the most expensive one. Once the wave starts; however, it will make sure to spend mythium on the cheaper queued mercenaries.



Example: It's wave 2 and you have 50 mythium. You want to send a Brute for 3, but you aren't sure if you can afford it. If you can't afford it, you'd like to send two Snails instead. You can queue up a Brute and two Snails and when the wave starts, it will try to send a Brute first, but failing that, it will send two Snails.

NEW! Worker Queue

- Hold Shift+Click to queue up a worker that you can't afford. It will be trained as soon as you can afford it.
- Hold Shift+Right Click to dequeue.
- If you can already afford a worker when you queue one up, it will just purchase it right away



Game Fixes & Improvements


Major Localization Update
- Significantly improved Chinese/Japanese IME experience; characters now appear instantly when typed, and the autocomplete window now appears next to the input line instead of in the corner of the screen. (Thanks to the Coherent team for help with this implementation!)
- All chat/user-generated text now uses a universal font, so even if your language is set to English for example, you can see text (rather than boxes/glitchy text) from Chinese. The same goes for typing; if your game is set to English, you can type in Chinese if you wanted to.
- Many English game texts are now localized, most notably the post-game score screens. At this point, the whole game is pretty much fully ready for translation!
- If you're interested in helping, check out LegionTD2.com/translate. Any help is greatly appreciated and will allow us to significantly grow the player base. Thank you to everyone who has contributed.

Reworked Unit Tooltips
- Revamped tooltips to better communicate relevant information, to provide more detailed stats (range and flying), and to be more fun to read
- You can always have detailed stats visible by adjusting your settings



Quality of Life (In-game)
- If you have a tower selected when the wave starts, you will now automatically select the fighter
- Wale Chief (Wave 18) mana bar is now hidden
- A variety of HUD fixes and small improvements, such as adding tooltips and fixing edges

Quality of Life (Client)
- If the lobby server restarts, and you were in queue, you will now automatically requeue after reconnecting to the lobby

Stability
- Improved lag mitigation and detection when clients/servers get higher than normal amounts of errors

New Emoji: This is fine
- Type :this_is_fine: (or :fine: for short)



Post-Game Stats
- Overview: MVP Score replaced by Power Score
- Graphs: now has “Power Score” graphs so you can see player scores per wave

Minor Fixes
- Fixed bug where -ratings was displaying the message to everyone in-game
- Fixed a minor bug with downgrading Hell Raiser or Kingpin twice
- Fixed some bugs with vfx indicators for Dark Mage (Mindwarp) and Lost Chieftain (Gaia Shield)
- Fixed missing Desert Pilgrim & Lost Chieftain card images

Game Balance


Dark Mage
- Mind Warp: No longer increases movement speed (was causing units to sprint to their death)

Bone Crusher
- Health: 1100 -> 1120

Masked Spirit
- Attack speed: 1.1 -> 1.06

False Maiden
- Attack speed: 1.1 -> 1.06

Hell Raiser
- Attack speed: 1.1 -> 1.06

Pyro
- Attack speed: 1.625 -> 1.6

Honeyflower

- Health: 3170 -> 3120

(14) Killer Slugs
- Spell Resistance: Removed
- Health: 2000 -> 2070

We're removing this ability for two reasons:
  • It was visually unclear that it existed (most players didn't even know)
  • It was doubling down on countering spells in an unhealthy way (most spells tend to be magic and 14 is already arcane)
(16) Cardinals
- Health: 1900 -> 1930

(20) Maccabeus
- Damage: 155 -> 150

(21) Legion Lords
- Attack speed: 1.04 -> 1.06 

New Game Mode HYBRID Starts Now!



New featured game mode HYBRID starts now! Throwback to Legion TD and get a randomized fighter each time you build a tier.

Available from now to Sunday night.

v3.14: Masked Spirit, False Maiden, Hell Raiser, Hybrid Game Mode



NEW! Featured Game Mode: Hybrid




Featured game modes are a new way to play the game with special rules and mechanics. They're just for fun and will occasionally be enabled on weekends.

The next featured game mode is Hybrid 2v2, in which your fighters are replaced with "tiers." Each time you build a tier, you get a random fighter from that tier.

Hybrid 2v2 will be enabled from Friday 4/12 - Sunday 4/14.

NEW! Legion: Shrine




A lost civilization of long-standing traditions. One of their core values is respect for the dead, and they constructed a gate symbolically connecting the worlds of the living and the dead. One night, there was a strange crescent moon with an eerie reddish hue. Upon visiting the gate, they noticed what was once a white rope that warded off the spirits was now stained dark red. The inhabitants of the Shrine began experiencing oddities in their everyday lives, catching glimpses of the dead, and feeling an impending sense of doom. The realm of the dead grows larger every night, creeping and expanding its unholy dominion. The Shrine is no longer welcome to the living.

Game Fixes & Improvements


Classic Queue Matchmaking
- Now has fairer matchmaking. It still forms matches as fast as possible, but once a match is formed, it shuffles teams based on hidden ratings that take into account both ranked and classic skill.
- Significantly lowered party rating penalties, which were sometimes unintentionally limiting players from partying when they had a very high-rated player in their party

Ranked Matchmaking
- Improved the matchmaker to make it less likely to "skip" very high-rated players

Gameplay Fixes
- 4v4: Fixed a bug where a lane would be considered as leaked if its partner lane leaked, even if the original lane was still fighting (This mainly affected no-build/cross strategies)
- 4v4: Match cancellation is now enabled (if a player doesn't do anything before wave 1 starts).
- Fixed a rare antistuck edge case
- Fixed a bug where Lightning Hammer would mistakenly continue where it left off on the previous wave (which could result in it casting on its first attack)

Client Fixes
- Fixed a bug where players would mistakenly receive a suspension notification instead of a warning notification, after leaving/afking a game
- Fixed a bug where Enable Global Chat wasn't being saved between sessions
- Fixed a player profile bug where new trophies weren't showing up
- Fixed missing card art for Chaos Hound, Cerberus, Imp, Undead Dragon
- Fixed a bug in post-game stats where W/L was incorrect

Quality of Life
- Waves & Attack Type guide windows are now reopened if you had them open last game. Also, they are now open by default to help newer players.
- You can now hold shift + left click + move mouse to deploy multiple fighters
- Selecting a Lost Chieftain tower now displays a green glow to indicate who he will buff when the wave starts
- Selecting a Dark Mage tower now displays a green glow to indicate who he will prefer to buff when the wave starts
- Ramping damage floating text now adds your base damage to the number (Berserker, Fatalizer, Four Eyes)
- Fixed a bug where sandbox mode would spawn wave 1 in 60 seconds instead of 600 seconds
- Fixed a bug where melee projectiles (Peewee, Veteran) weren't showing up properly

Translations

Game Balance


King

- Now takes into account Giant Slayer (20% current health damage) when prioritizing targets. This means he will correctly focus higher health units more often now, which also allows him to optimize his AOE better as well.
- Lightning Hammer: Projectile speed: 6000 -> 8000. Damage decreased by 3%
- Immolation: Damage increased 5%
- Chain Frost: Projectile speed: 4000 -> 6000

King Upgrades

- King upgrades are getting more expensive but now have better income efficiency. The goal of this change to make king upgrades more viable early game and when you're behind / know you can't break your opponent.

This is an experimental change, and if it doesn't turn out to be positive, we'll revert it.

Upgrade Attack
- Mythium cost: 15 -> 20
- Income: 4 -> 6
- Effect: Unchanged

Upgrade Regen
- Mythium cost: 15 -> 20
- Income: 4 -> 6
- Effect: 0.015% missing health regeneration -> 0.005% max health regeneration + 0.005% missing health regeneration

More viable when your king is >50% and less overpowered when your king is very low on health

Upgrade Spell
- Mythium cost: 15 -> 20
- Income: 4 -> 6
- Effect: Unchanged

Bounty

- Gold to opposing team decreased by 10% on average early game, increased by 5% on average late game (breakeven on wave 13)

The goal.of this change is to have fewer games decided with one mistake early game. As compensation, we’re slightly buffing early game low-income mercenaries so they remain competitive with high-income mercenaries and king upgrades

Legion Spells


Giant Snail
- Health: 690 -> 700
- Damage: 29 -> 30

Lizard Army
- Mythium: 10 -> 15

Dark Ritual
- Gold: 140 -> 135

Loan
- Income: -30 -> -32

Fighters


Bone Warrior
- Health: 170 -> 150
- Skeletal Regeneration: 4% missing health -> 3 + 3% missing health

Fire Archer
- Skeletal Regeneration: 4% missing health -> 3 + 3% missing health

Dark Mage
- Skeletal Regeneration: 4% missing health -> 3 + 3% missing health
- Greatly improved AI. It now casts as soon as the wave aggros and is more responsive when casting during the round. Also smarter about picking targets for Mindwarp (increased priority for units with ramping effects, such as Berserker, Fatalizer, Doppelganger, and Sky Queen)
- Selecting a Dark Mage tower now displays a green glow to indicate who he will prefer to buff when the wave starts

Bone Crusher
- Health: 1060 -> 1100
- Skeletal Regeneration: 4% missing health -> 3 + 3% missing health

Peewee
- Health: 320 -> 330
- Attack speed: 0.99 -> 1.02

Looter
- Health: 120 -> 110

Zeus
- Attack speed: 2.2 -> 2.22

Pyro
- Attack speed: 1.65 -> 1.63

Tempest
- Attack speed: 1.087 -> 1.064

Lioness
- Health: 2410 -> 2360

Alpha Male
- Damage: 104 -> 101

Honeyflower
- Health: 1180 -> 1200
- Fixed a bug where Fragrance was dealing pure damage instead of magic damage

Deathcap
- Fixed a bug where Noxious Scent was dealing pure damage instead of magic damage

Butcher
- Health: 1320 -> 1350

Head Chef
- Health: 3250 -> 3300

Lost Chieftain
- Now smarter about picking targets for Gaia Shield (prefers units that are placed farther forward because they are more likely to tank)
- Selecting a Lost Chieftain tower now displays a green glow to indicate who he will buff when the wave starts

Nightmare
- Attack speed: 1.667 -> 1.724

Berserker
- Attack speed: 1.563 -> 1.49

Antler
- Attack speed: 0.8 -> 0.78

Iron Scales
- Health: 6850 -> 6800
- Damage: 205 -> 200

Fenix
- Attack speed: 1.02 -> 1.04

Banana Bunk
- Health: 2900 -> 2950

Banana Haven
- Health: 6500 -> 6550

Hydra
- Ancient Power: Bonus damage and damage reduction per wave: 1% -> 0.8% (this nerfs Hydra effective health and DPS by 2.5% on wave 11 and 5% on wave 21)

Great Boar
- Stampede: Now has a max targets of 20 units, which is consistent with other AOE in the game

Red Eyes
- Health: 8300 -> 8250
- Damage: 153 -> 150
- Thunderous Charge: Now has a max targets of 20 units, which is consistent with other AOE in the game

Mercenaries


We're buffing low-income mercenaries that are used early game to make sure they stay competitive with high-income mercenaries and king upgrades.

Brute
- Health: 750 -> 760
- Attack speed: 0.87 -> 0.88

Hermit
- Damage: 34 -> 35


Safety Mole
- Health: 1200 -> 1250
- Damage: 58 -> 60
- Safety Aura: Cannot no longer decrease damage dealt below 3

Pack Leader
- Health: 1740 -> 1770
- Damage: 88 -> 90

Ogre
- Health: 2300 -> 2320
- Attack speed: 0.6 -> 0.606

Kraken
- Health: 6500 -> 6700
- Damage: 285 -> 295
- Ancient Power: Bonus damage and damage reduction per wave: 1% -> 0.8% (this nerfs Kraken's effective health and DPS by 2.5% on wave 11 and 5% on wave 21)

Waves


(5) Scorpions
- Health: 330 -> 340
- Scorpion King: 1320 -> 1360

(6) Rockos
- Damage: 39 -> 40
- Impale: Reworked: Each attack now has a 25% chance to deal 150% damage

The goal of this change is to make wave 6 less extreme and not hard countered by small units. We like that the wave has some extra variance, so we're keeping that flavor with critical strike. Keep in mind that it's not truly random; it's pseudo-RNG, which means that if a Rocko doesn't crit, it's more likely to crit on its next attack (and vice-versa). Ramping damage amplification likely had more RNG than this.

(8) Kobras
- Health: 580 -> 600

(18) Wale Chiefs
- Poison-tipped Pole: 100 Magic damage per hit -> 300 Magic damage every third hit

The goal is to make the magic damage more visible (most people don't even know it exists). This is probably a slight nerf.

(21) Legion Lords
- Attack speed: 1.02 -> 1.04

Localization Update




- The game is now smarter about detecting default language for new players
- Post-game screen and cards/items are now ready to be translated (they were previously missing from the translation docs)
- All tooltips now use variables instead of hardcoded values. This means that when we change an ability from 90 -> 100 damage, you won’t have to update the translation (it automatically does it now)
-- We ran a script that automatically converted all existing translations to the new variable format. A small number of translations may have reversed variables ($1 and $2 swapped), so please help us correct those.

If you’re interested in helping, check out LegionTD2.com/translate. Any help is greatly appreciated and will allow us to significantly grow the player base (larger player base = better matchmaking, more featured game modes, etc.). Thank you to everyone who has contributed.

v3.13c


This is the final balance patch before the Masters Cup III. The goals of this patch are to:

1. Ensure we see a variety of strategies to create an optimal experience for both participants and viewers
2. Not disrupt the meta or ruin existing strategies, which is why we’re going light on the changes and mostly doing buffs


King
- Fixed a bug where the king would sometimes get more than 10 upgrades


Peewee
- Attack speed: 0.97 -> 0.99


Veteran
- Health: 1410 -> 1430


Butcher
- Health: 1300 -> 1320


Head Chef
- Health: 3200 -> 3250


Tempest
- Attack speed: 1.11 -> 1.09


Zeus
- Attack speed: 2.17 -> 2.2


Pyro
- Attack speed: 1.67 -> 1.65


Doppelganger
- Health: 3700 -> 3800


Fire Lord
- Attack speed: 1 -> 1.02


Fenix
- Attack speed: 1 -> 1.02


Hades
- Raise Imp: Mana cost: 16 -> 15


Waves


(12) Mantises
- Health: 1170 -> 1190


(13) Drill Golems
- Health: 3200 -> 3170


(20) Maccabeus
- Damage: 160 -> 155

We’re very close to getting wave 20 in a decent spot. “Decisiveness” is the probability that the game ends on the current wave. In the past, wave 20 had 95%+ decisiveness. After recent changes, it currently has 72% decisiveness, and we believe a healthy number is between 60% and 70%.


(21) Legion King
- Attack speed: 1 -> 1.02

v3.13b


- Fixed a pathing bug

v3.13a


Reconnecting
- Fixed a bug where you couldn't reconnect

Not enough time has passed to make any major balance changes. Just doing a few tweaks based on preliminary data and feedback.

v3.13 Patch Notes

- Released to Public Test Realm (PTR). How do I join PTR?
- Released to live servers!

NEW! Custom Games 2.0


You can now select game modes and adjust starting resources in custom games. More modes and options to come in the future.





NEW! Mercenary




Cannoneer
- Cost: 100 mythium
- Income: 30
- Movement type: Ground
- Health: 950 (Swift)
- Damage: 102 (Impact)
- Attack speed: 0.67
- Range: 500

Game Fixes & Improvements


Pathing & Targeting
- Fixed a pathing bug where melee units would sometimes keep trying to turn around when trying to attack a unit in the cave
- Fixed a rare edge case where a unit moved faster than intended

Quality of Life
- Profiles now show Classic wins/losses (we just started tracking this statistic now, so everyone will start at 0 wins, 0 losses even if you already played classic games earlier this season)
- Leaderboards and profile percentile rankings are now more accurate (it now only compares you against players that are active this season, not all players)
- Post-game score screen now shows win/losses for that queue type
- Post-game score screen Waves tab now shows King hp percents
- Custom Games now start with normal resources (no longer -debug and resources by default). This should make it easier to practice builds or play co-op with friends.
- Buff tooltips now show a larger icon

Chat
- New chat emojis :sob: and :money:



Stability
- Fixed a matchmaking bug where the matchmaker would get stuck and not form the correct matches (iterator was mistakenly being incremented when in skip phase (substep); should only be incremented when it’s a new main step)
- Fixed a concurrency issue (OnMatchMade now fires after the lock is released)
- Added a failsafe where the lobby will restart if no ranked matches start in a 5-minute span

Debugging
- Fixed a bug with -wave 0 not clearing properly

Game Balance


King
- Chain Frost: Bounce speed: 3000 -> 4000
- Lightning Hammer: Bounce speed: 5000 -> 6000, Damage reduced by 3%

Making these abilities feel better against Froggos and Lizards

Fighters



Desert Pilgrim
- Improved Chain Heal autocast AI and bounce behavior: it will now bounce to any injured targets, instead of only targets missing a certain amount of hp. This fixes a few cases where it wouldn't bounce to an injured target that it should have bounced to.


Whitemane
- Health: 4450 -> 4400


Fatalizer
- Attack speed: 1.47 -> 1.43


Eggsack
- Incubation: No longer immediately hatches a weakened Hydra on the wave Eggsack breaks (still hatches a weakened Hydra the following wave)
- New ability: Eggsplosion: Upon death, deals 80 Pure damage to nearby enemies
- Now aggroes the rest of your lane a bit later so that melee DPS can be used more effectively with Eggsack (we recommend testing once in a custom game)

Hydra
- New ability: Ancient Power: Gains +1% damage and +1% damage reduction for each wave that has passed (the wave number matters, not how long Hydra has been out)
- Health: 3150 -> 2850
- Damage: 120 -> 114
- Hydraling: Health: 1050 -> 950
- Hydraling: Damage: 40 -> 38

The goals of these changes are to:
  • Nerf the strategy of using Eggsack as a tank mid-late game
  • Make protecting Eggsack a viable strategy mid-late game
  • Make sure it isn’t overly punishing if your Eggsack breaks on wave 3
Hades
- Raise Imp: Mana cost: 17 -> 16

Great Boar
- Stampede: Damage increased by 10%
- Stampede: Area of effect: 250 -> 400


Red Eyes
- Thunderous Charge: Damage increased by 10%
- Thunderous Charge: Area of effect: 250 -> 400

Mercenaries



Centaur
- Health: 4300 -> 4500
- Damage: 195 -> 205
- Cleave: 30% -> 20%

Centaur currently shuts down too many builds and makes certain units (notably Swift/Arcane tanks and lower tier tanks) obsolete late game. Shifting some power from splash to base stats. It will still be strong against those units, but less extreme.


Kraken
- Health: 6600 -> 6400
- Damage: 290 -> 280
- Spell Resistance: Removed
- New ability: Ancient Power: Gains +1% damage and +1% damage reduction for each wave that has passed

Kraken was only used to hard counter Honeyflowers and Pyros on ranged waves. It will still be strong against those units, but Kraken deserves to be more versatile, epic, and stronger late game.

Waves



(5) Scorpions
- Fixed an unintended case where Scorpion King would avoid getting aggroed first against some builds

(6) Rockos
- Health: 800 -> 830
- Damage: 38 -> 39
- Impale: 4% stacking up to 20 times -> 3% stacks up to 9 times

Note that Impale never actually stacked 20 times, except in rare cases in 4v4 dual building or when 8+ Rockos leaked to the king

Rockos’s Impale is insanely strong when focusing the same target, which is sometimes the result of RNG. It also makes tier 1 spam and splits even stronger than they should be (they will still be strong). Also worth noting that a high % of lower-rated games end on wave 6 due to cheese strategies, undervaluing tier 1 units, and not understanding splits.



(14) Killer Slugs
- Health: 2030 -> 2000

(16) Cardinals
- Health: 1880 -> 1900


(20) Maccabeus
- Damage: 160 -> 165
- Insatiable Hunger: Removed

With the introduction of Witch and Maccabeus’ fast attack speed, summoners and tier 1 spam aren’t broken anymore - if anything, they are weak on wave 20. The goal of this change is to increase the number of viable units on wave 20, while also nerfing it. Maccabeus is really cool (he’s a fire breathing turtle), but it feels unfair to have a boss wave be so decisive. Some games will still end on 20, but now a higher percentage of games will go to 21.

Projectile Speeds


Slow projectile speeds inflate the power of tier 1 spam and splits, so we’re making them faster for mercenaries and waves. These changes should only be minor buffs against very low health units

- Lizards: 1500 -> 2500
- Hermit: 1500 -> 2500
- Drake: 1500 -> 2500
- Witch: 1500 -> 2500
- Froggo: 1500 -> 2500
- Shaman: 1500 -> 2500
- Kobras: 1500 -> 2500
- Quill Shooters: 1750 -> 2500
- Quadrapuses: 1500 -> 2500
- Dire Toads: 1500 -> 2500
