Upcoming balance changes

News

▶ Aero 5/8 -> 5/7

Developer Comments : Aero’s effectiveness is great for both obstruction and control. Previously, we increased the Aero’s stats to where it is now, but since players have realized how to use it, we thought it might be a good idea to lower the power a bit.

▶ Galactus 6/3 -> 6/2

Developer Comments : Even at the highest ranked play, decks using Galactus have huge cube gains and win rates. Some decks don’t explicitly announce that Galactus will be coming, and there are plenty of support cards that some decks find difficult to counter. We’re going to lower Galactus’ power by 1 and then evaluate if further changes are needed.

▶ Leader 6/4 -> 6/3

Developer Comments: Many players are picky about leader effectiveness, and the ability to stop the game and make it difficult to play other 6-cost cards has often been a mixed bag. I’m going to lower the power a bit and see if further modifications are needed later.

▶ Nova 1/2 -> 1/1

Developer Comment: Nova’s effect is much stronger than other 1-cost cards, so we didn’t think it was appropriate for Nova to have the average stats of a 1-cost card.

▶ Drax 4/4 Appears: If your opponent played a card in this zone this turn, give it +4 power. -> 4/5 appearances: If your opponent has played a card in this zone this turn, give it +3 power.

▶ Groot 3/3 Appears: If your opponent played a card in this zone this turn, give it +3 power. -> 3/4 appearances: If your opponent has played a card in this zone this turn, give it +2 power.

Developer Comments: While you may think that Guardians’ effects will create a lot of fun, it can also feel like an all-or-nothing game. We hope to increase Drax and Groot’s base stats to lower the risk of playing cards and increase their attractiveness in the 3 and 4 cost slots.

▶ Hazmat 2/1 -> 2/2

Developer Comments: We know there are some powerful looking Hazmat combo decks, but Hazmat’s overall performance is not good. So, in this update, we want to raise it slightly.

▶ Black Cat 3/6 -> 3/7

Developer Comments: Since Black Cat is rarely used, we wanted to increase its attractiveness by increasing its power.

▶ Nakia 3/1 -> 3/2

Developer Comments: We think Nakia’s effect is an interesting mechanic, but it currently has a very low success rate. We want to buff it up a bit to make it a more attractive option.

■ Zone update

▶ Now, if there is Professor X in Oscorp Tower, the card will not change faction.

▶ Updated text for The Raft and Vibranium Mines.

▶ Decreased the chance of Warrior Falls appearing.
