Steadiness Updates

Within the wake of our final steadiness change, we noticed the metagame settle right into a a lot more healthy
form than it had been earlier than. Nevertheless, we had been too shallow with our changes to the
Shuri-Taskmaster decks, and Lockjaw-Leech shells (each with and with out Thanos) have
remained stable contenders. At present’s modifications goal to push each of these decks off their clear prime
spots. Outdoors of Shuri-Taskmaster, the metagame is trying wholesome on our inner metrics.

CARD UPDATES

Shuri

• [Previous] 4/2 – On Reveal: Double the Energy of the following card you play.
• [Update] 4/2 – On Reveal: For those who play your subsequent card right here, double its Energy.

Developer Feedback: We thought of a lot of modifications to Shuri, however all of them tended to
smash her present decks. Some even theoretically risked making a brand new monster with completely different
components–that’s not an ideal danger to run when balancing a problematically robust card. The change
we’re making at the moment could appear small and refined, however we count on it to be impactful and retain the
identical move of play for her current decks, which is a constant objective in our steadiness philosophy.
This nerf removes Cosmo’s protecting capability for her goal, makes single-card solutions like
Valkyrie simpler to goal, and not directly buffs lane management components like Professor X. We’re taking a
danger right here in that this nerf might depart Shuri nonetheless a energy outlier–if that’s the case, we’ll react rapidly.

Leech

• [Previous] 5/3 – On Reveal: Take away the skills from all playing cards in your opponent’s hand.
• [Update] 5/3 – At first of flip 6, take away all skills from playing cards in your opponent’s hand.

Developer Feedback: It’s by no means been our objective for Leech to be a heavily-played card, and we
perceive that’s been a frustration currently. When it’s occurring, it normally means a finisher is
generically robust in opposition to pure Energy (like Leech-Chief) and/or a deck can play Leech earlier
than flip 5 too usually (like Lockjaw-Thanos). We’ve tried up to now to weaken the stronger playing cards
in these decks, but it surely’s been a steadiness and design impediment. Thus, we’ve determined to take away the
“early Leech” from the equation. Leech is designed to counter some highly effective endgame playing cards
and combos from a novel angle with none setup, which is essential to have round in
the occasion these decks start to overperform. This transformation ought to let him fulfill that function when
vital with out ever making him a foundational piece of the metagame.

Lockjaw

• [Previous] 3/2 – After you play a card right here, swap it with a card in your deck.
• [Update] 3/2 – After you play a card right here, swap it with a card in your deck. (as soon as per flip)

Developer Feedback: Lockjaw’s a enjoyable and thrilling card, however every set off of this good boy
principally attracts a card and “generates” as much as 6 Power at random. That’s a number of variance to
have in a number of aggressive decks! As we add playing cards, new and improved methods to sidestep
Lockjaw’s dangers may also turn into obtainable. Since we imagine essentially the most highly effective and irritating
use of Lockjaw is triggering him a number of occasions in a flip, usually with a snap alongside the way in which, we’re
altering that. Limiting Lockjaw to at least one swap every flip forces the participant to develop their board
with out letting them dash forward or spring a late shock. This may make Lockjaw less complicated to play
in opposition to and fewer potent in decks by the way enjoying plenty of low-cost playing cards, like Thanos.

America Chavez

• [Previous] 6/9 – You all the time draw this card on flip 6, and never earlier than
• [Update] 6/9 – Begins on the underside of your deck. Draw this on flip 6.

Developer Feedback: Beforehand, in the event you had been about to attract America Chavez, you’d simply
draw your subsequent card as an alternative. Which means that over the course of the sport, she’s much more
prone to be the highest card of your deck. To this point this has been largely unimportant outdoors of
Yondu, but it surely does prohibit our capability to print playing cards that work together with the highest of your deck. We
count on this replace to have little impression on America Chavez’s performance total.

Jubilee

• [Previous] 4/1 – On Reveal: Add a card out of your deck to this location.
• [Update] 4/1 – On Reveal: Add the highest card of your deck to this location.

Developer Feedback: A few of our gamers could bear in mind a time the place Jubilee had this
capability! Again then, Jubilee would usually be a 4/10 as she’d pull America Chavez very persistently.
We determined on the time to alter Jubilee’s impact as an alternative of America Chavez’s, as the previous
was a a lot less complicated change to speak. Nevertheless, we’re trying to design playing cards that
work together with the highest of your deck sooner or later, so we’re bringing this design again too! We count on
this replace to have little impression on Jubilee in the interim.

Chief

• [Previous] 6/7 – On Reveal: Copy all playing cards your opponent performed to the placement proper of right here, however in your facet.
• [Update] 6/2 – On Reveal: Copy the enemy card(s) with the best Energy performed this flip, however in your facet.

Developer Feedback: We had been clearly too harsh on Chief together with his earlier nerf, and we’re
dismayed that motion turned a go-to instance for the way ruinous a nerf may be. Our steadiness
philosophy is to protect as a lot playability as we moderately can when weakening playing cards, and
we didn’t succeed right here beforehand. With this modification, we’re aiming to convey his energy again up
to a playable spot for a 6-Price card, however nonetheless keep away from the oppressive impression his unique kind had.
We’ve got erred on the cautious facet together with his Energy for now as a result of some earlier defenses
in opposition to the unique Chief, equivalent to enjoying weaker playing cards earlier than a robust one, now not apply.
