• Mobile: Fixed 'Australia' mode - Some Android devices rendered the game upside down, and that has been fixed.

Some interesting changes for dragons. Also some balance changes and a new item. Boots aren't complete shit anymore. Seems the meta is gonna move to dragon/knights, dragon/mages, or maybe dragon/assassins.

They updated the way the game select your opponents as well which I know was asked here. You should be less likely to fight the same opponents repeatedly. Hopefully it'll work out well.

Edit: Might not be out yet.

Pipe was really needed.

Is the patch actually live? I just played a game and it didn't seem like these changes were implemented.

First place due to perfect RNG, got a three star super early and just lucked into six archer team by round 15. Knight teams are rough to counter now.

I find a 9 elusive team to be pretty unstoppable. Takes a while to get up there, so the early rounds can be rough but onces you go them you just smash everything, with most or your team alive for maximum health loss.

And if you get elusive targets on top, then it's no competition.

I feel like the silence mechanic may be too strong given that some heroes are entirely reliant on spells to do damage. The disarm could be similar but primordial synergy seems far less common than a couple humans in a lineup.

I've won with 9 warriors, 6 mages and 9 assassins. The mages was the hardest, I lost a lot of rounds and was near the bottom until something made my power spike (not sure if it was a levelling up a hero or hitting 6 mages) and never lost another round.

Yeah knights are broken, all top 4 teams were going knights. I edged out the win because I understand the value of troll warlord and had better items.

Knights are good for sure, but troll warlord is insane, especially if you get him a decent attack item.

Yeah he had the +dmg and stun chance then the +80% attack speed. I got to round 41 and killed every neutral encounter mostly with 1 and 2 stars and no 3 stars is telling, you can't get to round 40 and win with any other stack of two stars. I am out until next major patch.
