Patch 6.0 - September 10

BALANCE PATCH OVERVIEW

DESIGN GOALS

  • Reduce the power level of Stelle, particularly in the early game with cards like Private Runabout and late game with Hangar.

  • Reduce the power level of out of combat scaling items (like Money Tree and the cards that enable it).

  • Make the strongest enchants with the biggest immediate impact rarer (primarily Obsidian and Shielded) as they often are a culprit in making otherwise safe items into a problem.

  • Improving the numbers on existing items that are not seeing much play so that they now feel more viable.

GENERAL CHANGES

  • Matchmaking Changes

    • We are changing the way players are matched with opponents' ghosts in Ranked and Normal modes in order to create a smoother onboarding experience for new players.

    • Players will only be matched with ghosts of players of their rank or lower for their PvP fights.

    • This will be a smoother experience for new players as they work to get better at the game, and find the rank they naturally level up to.

    • The experience for higher rank players should not be changed as they still can play against ghosts of any rank.

    • Players will now gain and lose rank points throughout the ranking process to help keep them in the proper rank for their current skill level:
