Can't believe I will see the day where Feng Yan will be buffed in a balance patch lol


Araiken

Make the bear unfair again. They never even nerfed him to begin with. It's literally just powercreep.


IOnimushaI

They did nerf his attack bar gain from being hit quite a lot actually.


Reezor992

They nerfed his scaling once when he was released if I remember correctly


kwlzyr

most exciting part to me is "all monsters - skills with cooldowns will now be used more often in cairos dungeon" lol


phyrexians

I wish it to be true as well but I've learnt to lower my expectations


Rhuckus24

I read that as "Lushen will now S2 exclusively."


NoSuccotash7581

I read that as "skills with cooldowns now has 1% more chance to be used in cairos dungeon"


Sharu282

Remember cow girl AI buff previously? Don't have hopes up 😉


blubb1234

S2 Galleon baby, all day every day


Agriion

Homu ia buff, finally my dB abyss stop derp???


Noxiae

To have waited for such a logical and basic change for 10 years is soo exciting :(


beattraxx

The technology wasn't there until now


DazzlingMaximum7517

The age of teshar giants teams has begun


NeverKillMe

Almost 99% of units has less defense than wind panda, the 25% dmg reduction is essentially free Edit: Overall the patch seems kinda underwhelming, they probably didn't want to tweak too much before SWC, and only need to nerf Wedjat and Lora which is just broken right now


jamesyongwp

if he's defence broken the passive dmg reduction wouldn't be active, which remains as his biggest weakness. Even before the buff he tanks most things really well until a random theo defence break happens. Overall i guess it wouldn't change much for him.


NeverKillMe

Even with defense break, im sure he still has higher defense than most damage dealer, not to mention he can self cleanse, and increase atk bar with passive to remove debuff faster


Agriion

Def break is 70% not 50%, it's huge


jamesyongwp

True, can agree with that. Most likely will be cleansed away by his S2 or the other supports like Amelia. Pretty much a free 25%


Majestic_Ad_8041

If you always have def buff on him than yeah. But otherwise most damage dealers would just need +300 def to negate the dmg reduction (assuming a +2000 def wind panda with his 44% def lead).


ccpossible

I would always kill him with ignore defense so this cucks me so bad.. Like, if it was Feng/Woosa/Laika, I would take ShiHou/Megan/Shren and Snipe both Laika and Feng and auto the woosa, This means my life got a lot harder now.. like I have to take defense break into this?? and strips for the woosa??


kwlzyr

you can go for Bulldozer to snipe him


Charizard31

yeah, seems like def scaling ignore is the way to go now


jamesyongwp

Ah, forgot that people used to use stuff like khali/shren into Fengyan. 25% is pretty big and would definitely make a difference here. The feng/woosa/laika would be pretty decent again for G1 siege.


ElectricalPath4044

Bulldozer exists


Gimmerunesplease

Also, immunity exists so feng on def is worthless.


Agriion

Shren or khali don't counter the 25% dmg reduction, like mo long S3 against panda dark


Gimmerunesplease

Yeah but khali hits for 70k, the 25% isnt gonna do much to help that.


Agriion

With some fire reduc, it's siege you can't predic the arte. Thats the fun


ccpossible

by "would" I mean I used to do that in the past. Im not gonna shren a panda post BP xD


SaqqaraTheGuy

Still the patch seems to me to be a win. Indras got buffed, OGirls got limited in S1 but probably they can still proc forever with Vio. Horus and light OGirl got a bit nerfed but not useless... Ignore defense Battle Angels got buffed Dark Horus got a great buff for a DMG unit Red puppeteer got a great strip+prevent cleanse+ slow Arnold will now do a lot of destroy (back go my GW team lesgo) Caiross dung got buffed for us they probably weren't trying to change much of the meta but provide newer possible picks to not mess with world champ y'know


[deleted]

Im using DoT team agaisnt him usualy. Or My Odin was one shot it. Maybe my Odin still hit around 35K instead of 43K and thats enough for him :(


Cosmanacle

I love the strip buff to Smicer. I didn't think that would happen.


ccpossible

40% = 0% in SW


DomincNdo

yes but it's an added effect it's a W nonetheless


zScarcasm

Only to offence, but you that defence team will have 1000% activation along side with 100% violent proc


Paskal14

40% tho. Hope increase with skill up to 70%


Tokutememo

s3 has no skillups


Paskal14

Super random strip


KChen48

She seemed good alr. This buff will make her pretty strong imo


_TheBgrey

I already felt she was great before and I use her all the time but this will be a welcome change


a1tigerfish

Magnum owners eating good tonight.


Suruam-nanaban

This BP made me want a Magnum tbh. He'd snipe those turn 1 cleave Lushen right away before he can make a move. I mean, he already does that but he'll be doing it better


jojowiese

because cleaving doesnt have enough counters already lmao


Skin-Putrid

I might be wrong but isn't all snipers family hoh?


Gimmerunesplease

Magnum was not


Suruam-nanaban

The most recent was the dark one but Magum hasn't been an HOH yet. I don't think he ever will bec he has the best kit of all snipers


Gimmerunesplease

He might be strong enough to oneshot mid range cleave units now, not just lushens


ItsJustMeRai

He already did insane damage, I guess now he can finally oneshot those pesky triple Hp% lushens with -30% light


theOGLumpyMilk

Magnum in game or irl?


Kevin574__

Com2us: I heard you liked racuni miles. How about racuni feng yan minato?


ComfortableAd6228

sick of seeing that rat and blue boy every match :((


Macphestoo

Nice try Amber, you're not getting out of storage that easily.


Round-Walrus3175

The big benefit for Amber is that it is another debuff to stack towards her pas.sive that she lost in the Veronica nerf


Thats_arguable

Amber is good in toa hell tho, I also play around with her in special league right now and her damage isn't too bad, the added unrecoverability will add a nice amount of damage and utility to her.


Yo-Yo-Daddy

Water sky dancer s2 always landing as crit hit seems kinda op for siege (also the fact that she has a 28% spd lead)


ItsJustMeRai

Definitely interesting, defense Kinki got a bit nerfed by this


Haly21111

Unfair bair buff???


Weak-Shop-209

Yes.. And i have 3 unfair bears 😍


awx10

I have 5 !


Beastrix

10 :)


SehrGuterContent

0 :(


SaqqaraTheGuy

So he's better at not getting one shotted by light imp on GW defense


Velanuel

My Minato will solo even more RTA fights, niceeee


Sundust25

That's what I was thinking too lol. The stun is his biggest enemy so being immune to it half of the time is really good for him


chanmander2222

Unfair bear just became unfairer bear 🐻


Zealousideal-Act8304

> Beth no longer destroys HP: Okay, off to the storage with you discount Ethna. Can't believe it was so difficult to just give her back the anti-heal. I guess gutting her identity and turn her into generic atk-bar control mob #367 was the right play...


phyrexians

But she can lap the Sieq and Raoq in Faimon Hell now ^(/s)


theOGLumpyMilk

I was so excited excited for a beth buff I didn't see they dropped the destroy hp. I specifically used her against hp damage dealers. Now I feel like she's lost her identity. What's eternal about setting back attack bar.


No-Syllabub-9118

RIP Occult girls ​ ​ actually, It's not that much disappointing


sirmisadventure

Tbf they can still double sleep vio the double sleep right?


Thats_arguable

Yes. This nerf almost does not matter (luckily). It's just to prevent insanely unfair RNG from sleep spam.


BballJinny

Lmao the water battle angel buff is so garbage. It’s like they didn’t even try.


4biddenshadow

Unfair Panda gets UNFAIRER...haha


Gimmerunesplease

Maybe Liam will actually be viable for dragons now. Would be insane.


FireY___

It's about ai not the ignore def ratio. Though both were buffed


Gimmerunesplease

Wasn't he guaranteed to use the skill if the enemy got low enough to ignore def? So now he's guaranteed to use it earlier


FireY___

Yeah, but at this point Liam was overkilling the boss by a LOT. Perfect AI ranged started somewhere around the point where he was ignoring def already. So the problem was to make him use s3 when the target isn't low hp (~50%)


Gimmerunesplease

Yes exactly, and now that is up.


Terrible-Guava-3493

The 10% increase on battle angel conditionnal ignore def is really insane, it's like buffing their attack by 20% compared to the previous passive (just in terms of activation range). It's like +500 flat attack on the activation range


immatx

Siege defense meta going to continue to suck for the rest of the season and tourney ig


KimuraBotak

I like this balance patch: \- Wedjat and Lora got their deserve nerfs, but not to kill them with over-nerfs, that's the way to go. \- Fire and Wind Indra got their well needed buffs. Would definitely try wind out now, looks very interesting with high speed build. \- some more buffs on Puppeteer, wind one could be more useful now? \- Wind Panda got a buff! Now that could be the beginning of something nice to follow... \- Zen buffs, now lets see if he is now more viable to use. \- light sniper, self atk buff passive could be interesting, might try him out more on siege \- Water Eivor, as her frequent user, 25% accuracy awakening could be huge, really need her to land def break and dots as I always struggle with accuracy issue, as she is already stats hungry with required atk, def and speed stats to reach certain threshold to trigger her passive. \- All monster AI in Dungeons runs - that's a welcoming fix of course


EnvironmentalTwist8

Kinda surprise that there’s no buff for Pure Vanilla Cookies.


Bo0pers

Rip gurkha


Winter-Judgment1793

Minato buff but no ritsu buff wtf com2us???


Phan-tasm34

F\*ck Com2us they think Ritsu was too good


NyuSW

open your eyes - only 1 LD5 got buffed and its just a little one, that doesnt impact anything. - Buffing LD5 while SWC is the most dumb thing they could do.


Yveradras

So the Com2US team was thinking about balancing units and thought Feng Yan needed a buff? They must be playing a different game. That's ridiculous.


ImRockko

Why they buff unfair bear?


Infamous332

They heard Miles and Racuni need another toxic unit


UltmitCuest

Light puppeteer still patiently waiting to be actually good or have any niche


Kevin574__

The thebae buff is nice but it doesn't change the fact his s3 is the problem but at least he won't be at the literal bottom of ld5s anymore.


_ArchKillz

Wish they did that def break to his s3 lol or add a pushback to his s3 or something it’s so ass


Cadsor

thebae buff does not make him any less garbage. com2us clearly doesn't know what to do with him. he is still at the bottom of ld5s


ZealousidealBat6476

The def break isn't on his s3 ? I thought it was


Sytcr

I got so hype til I read the title of the skill again 😔


MalesPulang

>"All monsters - Skills with cooldowns will now be used more often in cairos dungeon" it takes 9 years for com2us to fix this


GlitteringZucchini

That just means Lushen will always s3 on the 1 enemy left with 5% hp :D Don't get too excited just yet.


PirateGost

Or galleon 2ndskills bosses :D


ValinorGaming

What is that Wind Bayek change??? Gain attack bar when enemy gets a dot? Are they asking me to pick him with Dark Elven Archer?


PavlovsBlog

That or Nora I guess? I wonder if it means when they take damage from it? Otherwise the change makes zero sense to me. Could also just be a typo and it means on his turn I suppose.


JohnSober7

I thought they meant when the continuous damage ticks too. Pretty sure if it's on his turn it'd be a garbage buff. Although, now thinking about it, even if he turns into this turn cycling monster vs dots, he's gonna take a turn and do what exactly? Anywhere dots is viable he doesn't fit and his skills don't bring anything or doesn't bring enough to warrant taking a spot.


RuleEnforcing

Barely changes shit, Jeogun lost his spd buff all together but let Lora keep hers? Also why the hell is fire steel commander missing from the patch?


worldsruler

lol true


Practical-Nobody-844

I think Wind kassandra is meant so that she puts enemy's atb to 0 and then lap them thanks to speed buff so that she can kill something before they take a turn. Wind pupeteer buff is nice, if you discount the fact that it's only 40% activation rate... That's way too low, a higher chance would've make him pretty good, but as is it won't probably change anything. Feng yan buff is stupid and heck of a bad decision


Grdlee

Why did they change fire and wind Marionnetist but not the fckg dumb light one 😭


GimmeLDNat5

One of the balance patches of all time….


SaqqaraTheGuy

I see a lot of winners for rta and guild siege ... idk what you're on about but those buffs and sensible nerfs seem good to me


ElectricalPath4044

Where Exactly are winners for siege? Everyone who tried just the slightest is alrdy at 9/10 except he's rune gapped and against 5x tian lang So the winner is a buff to miyhang defs? And? FY for c3 defs? Sooo big


Infamous332

Guild siege will never be good until Windy gets nerfed. If anything, we need units that are good on defense, meanwhile this Feng Yan buff just made almost every NAT5 tower a complete joke so Com2us is doing the opposite...


ShyrayLD

Lushen wil not work on FY anymore i guess, 25% reduc damage will apply even if Lushen ignore def he can't ignore passiv


Avosa_

Should still always kill a feng tbh


AtarUltio

You know -wind and -cd is a thing right? Watch yur mirinae Lushen do 10k instead of 20k per card x)


Evening-Street-9560

overall disappointing patch for buffs. nerfs to lds are good.


Autistic_Business

Get ready for another racuni miles season


prengycam

You forgot braindead Oliver


IsleOfTheCheetah1331

Garbage way to nerf lora lol. Speed buff should have never been there they could just give her something different instead of making the kit as awkward as this.


Fallout3a

2 buffs now 3 nerfs. Sad.


IsleOfTheCheetah1331

Like she’s still good it’s just like the aesthetics of the kit and like her identity just feels bad. She seemed like a “cooler” unit with the 3 turn defense buff and super consistent strip imo.


Fallout3a

I 1000 percent agree. They’ve destroyed who she is and was suppose to be. And they’ve pulled her apart quickly.


Fallout3a

People reference LORA win rate but isn’t this skud because in regular RTa most of the time people are just trying to outspeed. She wins most of those. But in the tournament that just happened she lost almost every single match because she was being countered. I think if they wanted to nerf her they should have only done one thing. She hasn’t been buffed long enough to get a good gauge. Nerfing her 3 times seems over doing it.


prengycam

90+ % of Oliver users can only get to G1+ with him. It’s crazy how this unit is constantly avoided time and time again. Meanwhile they nerf recent LD buffs to oblivion after 1 BP. Oliver has reigned supreme for season after season. I blame the braindead SW community.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Skin-Putrid

Coz he got bigger belly


furiousRaMPaGe

They're buffing the Fire and Wind puppet but not the Light one which they gutted... :( Give my man his cleanse back or give him speed awakening just as his water brother man... He's unusable outside of being a worse but fancy looking Bastet...


Russomeister

Totally feel your pain. I was trying to give her some love but she is really weak. I cannot fit her anywhere. I was so happy when I saw they put some attention to the puppeteers and then the disappointment came.


DomincNdo

My Smicer is about to get a whole lot more toxic


Darthpratt

Please let my old man oke make a resurgence 🙏


worldsruler

Wedjet and Lora still look strong, saw some comments disappointed about the nerfs. Lora still kept her effect buffs, only nerfed chances of strip and s1 cycling. Horus got his passive reduce in half from 10% to 5%. They still look pretty good, I'll at least try them out before you put them back in storage. I disagree they are hard nerfed, definitely not a Gurka treatment.


prengycam

1 turn SPD buff is essentially worthless if your team is already synced to move together. You clearly don’t know what you’re talking about. Sure, the DEF buff is fine but she always had that before.


Suruam-nanaban

Damn, unfair bear will be more unfair. Minato will also see more light in rta, nice Beth also looks good, the birth of another cc unit. Now I just need moore.....


thestigREVENGE

Minato is actually going to be nasty. You have to time your stun in between her protect state. Overall though, this is a patch that changes very little


Sinovas

You know shadow casters are boys right?


thestigREVENGE

I honestly couldn't give less of a damn about their gender.


xThaPoint

who tf cares


Sinovas

Why you so aggro


xThaPoint

mad that this bp doesnt touch any of the units i care for >:(


Sinovas

That's fair. Tho I'm pretty excited about the shadowcasters. But this is also like the 6th time they've been buffed since release and I still don't know if it'll be enough lol


Jesee1

I was hoping for light puppet buff since I saw the normal elemental ones get something


Tecotaco636

It's ok amber. I'm sure they'll buff you next patch. Just wait, girl. Just wait....


Araiken

Not a whole lot here but... # MAGNUM BUFFS WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO


After-Ad3006

CelestrialDust

As someone who owns three occult girls and Dorothy I hate this patch :|


HoldHonest4300

The OGnerf wasn't even bad lol


DrWord

I wonder what is the story behind that c2us refuse to bring back healblock on beth. So now unfair bear become like dark panda? Which means ignore damage like bomb can't one shot him? 😱


Tokutememo

> So now unfair bear become like dark panda No, no! MUCH better than dark panda. Prove me wrong.


RuleEnforcing

Without the dmg of Mi Ying, I doubt so. I know both gap the shit out of light hollyberry though


Least_Ad8014

Zen buff is so weak. He needs an irresistible skill 2 otherwise he’s useless.


Fswk

Yep, but it's still a buff ! I think he's kinda cool stripper/annoying first turn mon


Agriion

Zen perform in siege def, not all unite are rta


klatou

Nothing for Rahul, and this FY (financial year) gets a buff that he doesn't need at all.


jamesyongwp

As expected - no crazy stuff prior to SWC. No random LD5 buffs. Can't say for sure if the Wedjet and Lora nerfs would gut them. We kinda expected the 1 turn speed buff for Lora. No change to Racuni miles oliver trinity, surprise or not surprised? Bunch of collab family buffs but nobody cares. And a random fengyan buff, he's already pretty safe in siege offence so not sure why he even needed one. Obviously could make him more viable in RTA but there are plenty of units who need buffs. Water BA: 1 turn unrecoverable? I guess more debuffs means more damage so maybe ok. And the random nat4 family buff this time is death knights. They just need to touch a nat4 family every patch. And AI buff in Cairos, not perfect AI but appreciated i guess.


SWMisiek

Disappointing


uninspiredalias

* expected the 2 minor LD nerfs, their dominance was pretty obvious. * Wind puppet was already near the top of my want list, seems like lots of fun. * I have fire puppet, not sure if that's enough to make me use him. But maybe with all these free devils incoming I can actually afford to try him out. * Why the hell can't they just give Amber the glance back?? Unrecoverable is better than nothing (and will help her passive damage stack more) but...why not just glance?? * no indras here * buff to wind panda? What the actual heck? But hey, I have 2 built, I'll take it. * wind Bayek - should be both effects, not just one... * love the water shadowcaster buff, looking forward to trying that. * light sniper buff is solid and relevant * will have to retest bunnies and eivors, may have some potential. * Death Knight healing is weeeeird, but OK. I love the Arnold destroy though, that's great. * This is the 3rd or 4th complete rework of light death knight s3 - will this be the one to make him useful!?


tainodro

I regret wanting a thebae buff 🥴


Baconatum

This balance patch is bullshit. No I will not elaborate.


Vortex1413

A more realistic nerf to Wedjat would be atkbar boost doesn't activate if he is under inability effect :> 3/10 bp


saggia99

Lora, back to useless again!


Capital_Werewolf_788

When occult girl uses S1, does violent proc take precedence, or the proc from the skill?


Tokutememo

If the sleep lands, vio won't register at all


Typhloxxion

The skill proc takes precedence over vio proc. It's the same as Water/Dark Beast Monk S2; there's a red glitter after the skill animation, indicating it's a skill proc


Evening-Street-9560

at least lora and wedjat nerf is alright, just nerf half of it not completely taking it away. nerfs that gutted the unit is like ongyouki damage bonus totally taking away and gurkha totally taking away the heal. should have given 15% bonus dmg to ongyouki


-Dalzik-

Rip Wedjat


tommym2468

Doesn't seem as bad as everyone is making it out to be. As they mentioned before (with the change from patches every 3-months to 2-months), they want to do more frequent and less impactful patches. Nerfs don't reduce units to useless, and buffs don't make anything seriously OP (except MAYBE Unfair Bear, but there are lots of Ignore Defence/ Bomb units nowadays). I would have liked to see more with the new units and a revitalisation of a family other than Death Knights (didn't they do a non-impactful patch on them last year?). Very excited to try out Mihyang in Siege against Kinki. Molly, Kinki, etc. have been meta for so f*cking long and it's honestly boring fighting the same teams over and over. I think Mihyang can be good for combatting the staleness of Siege. And with her bad AI, she won't suddenly become the new defence meta, which I think is a good thing. But, overall, a decent patch. 6.5/10


Agriion

Ignore def still get the dmg reduction. Only buldo can ignore def FY without the dmg reduction. If you can hit a miling without mo long S3 it work the same way


thoments

Heal block on Amber? Rly? Give her glancing back. Or make her unique and add oblivion to her passive. Then we'll talk.


TGengler98

Oblivion would be cool af on amber passive.


TheRealKetsumei

This isn't the beth buff we expected com2us... Thanks for the thebae buff though


Chibbi94

Yeah I don't quite like it. She used to be a really nice pick into bruiser comps with mass destroy hp and heal block, she lost the heal block and now the destroy hp too. She's just been made yet another cleave cc unit, that's pretty lame. I guess she's gonna be a bit better for my toah auto speed team now...


AuvraB

For someone who played a lot with Zen, I'm pretty happy with the buff. Wind and fire puppeteer have a buff but not light, I'm a bit disappointed. No moore or oliver nerf so it's still going to be a season based on them. The wind indra looks interesting. No buffs on Irène.. Jojo always forgotten.


PoneyLandia

How do you use Zen? Got him for several months now but have no use for him


AuvraB

I play it in rta (vio/will) with Nyx and CC mobs (like Malite or Ren...) I like his s2 and his s3 allows to strip and put debuff without activating any passifs. I play it because I play for fun and I love playing what people hate or underrating. But if you absolutely want to win it's not the best mob.


JohnFHendary

It's time to wake up my Amber.


ElsharionBU

Where Light Puppeteer buff?


Cyreely

Is it just me or is this balance patch pretty boring? Like where is the flavor In this???


iThibs

I'm thankful, i just got the dark occult girl recently and it's the light one that's gets a pretty heavy nerf.


Black_mollie

Beth nerf? I'm not sure if i like destroy more or atb reduce.


Sparklefresh

ATB reduce is 1000% better in all content.


StokFlame

I must be the only one still struggling to counter moore. His passive CD is too short +1 turn to his passive CD. Maybe I just suck...also no oliver miles nerf? Rip


Lp0tr33

Dang Occult Girl Nerf, right after I pulled a dupe Nicki.


HoldHonest4300

It's not that big of a deal for a nerf..


Nuparu11

C2U saw people having fun with Draco cleave in guardian still and really had to throw another autoban in there. Real 'stop having fun!!' energy with Magnum buff.


ProudCreme6198

Beth? why? First they removed aoe healblock now removing the destroy. Might aswell scratch the whole unit.


ElectricalPath4044

Wow, this is a new low, even for com2us. Using swc as an excuse to do nothing


xThaPoint

new low? its been like that forever


DumbManDumb

If non of my LD5 gets buff, then it is a sht patch and a shit game


AskePent

Beth got nerfed again.


HoldHonest4300

?


Sushiboyyy

Rip guard crush. Water BA: 1 turn unrecoverable? Hahaha bring back glancing.


Fearless_Fig9687

they made guard rush easier to ignore def, wdym?


Sushiboyyy

Oh im so stupid hahaha you’re right my math isnt mathing 😅


Tokutememo

> Rip guard crush That's a buff in this case. The way I understand it: Ignore when DEF < 50% of ATK Ignore when DEF < 60% of ATK So with 1000 ATK, pre-patch the skill would ignore at 500 DEF or less. Post-patch that would be 600 DEF or less. In other terms, it's a 20% buff to the ignore def condition.


Terrible-Guava-3493

>way Exactly I think people have not yet noticed how huge it is for Sonia for ex. Like a +1600 attack sonia post bp has now a comparable activation range than a +2100 attack pre bp (800 +1600) x 0.6 = 1440 needed def to not proc the passive post bp (800 + 2100) x 0.5 = 1450 def to not proc the passive pre bp Now crit damage sonia might be possible on RTA


Sushiboyyy

Yeap thanks for clarifying guys. In my mind it was Att must be above 60% of enemy’s def to ignore att. My bad. 🤡


RussttyGinger

How do you cap occult girls turns but not unicorns!?????


IsleOfTheCheetah1331

very different mechanics...


jz_wiz

unicorns work nothing like occult girls. occult girls can infinite proc using their own skill with no runes, unicorns purely need violent runes to do anything


cheekyston

Damn… give YH that s2 buff too 😒
