Hotfix 4 (v26.1d)

Balance:

**Champion **

Attack speed and damage reduction: 15 → 14.5%

High win rate.

**Evolution **

• Evolve cost: 12% → 10%

• Attack speed and damage reduction: 12% → 10% 

• Decreased starting gold by 1

Evolution is too strong and crowding out other mastermind options.

**Sheep **

• Health decreased by 20%

• Now has 20% damage reduction ;)

Same effective health, but now stronger with health buffs.

**Wave 18: Wale Chiefs **

Health increased by 1.3%

Mini & Wumbo

• Replaced Protector with Hypercarry

• Hypercarry in Mini & Wumbo nerfed from 4.2% → 3.5%

Hypercarry was fun, so we’re bringing it back in a balanced form!

Improvements:

• You can now double click a mastermind to pick it in the new selection screen.

Hotfix 3 (v26.1c)

Balance:

**Evolution **

• Evolve cost: 10% → 12% 

• Starting resources: 2 income, 2 gold → 3 income, 3 gold

It was too strong to absent-mindedly Evolve most of your fighters. This change makes it more of a strategic choice.

**Scrappy / Heroic Scrappy **

• Health decreased by 17%

• DPS increased by 9%

Shifting power from health to damage.

Fixes:

• Evolve now loads properly into sandbox, when copying a build from matchhistory

• Enabled pack rat sui nerf for 1v1

• Heroic Scrappy doesn't AoE your own units anymore... oops

• Hid the 10% extra mythium rate in 1v1 from the UI (just visual)

• Fixed mastermind selection ping

• Fixed some UI issues with rendering names

Hotfix 2 (v26.1b)

Balance:

1v1

Mythium rate in 1v1 increased by 10%

In 1v1, waves are faster, which made workers weaker than expected, rewarded playing too safe, and caused value-generating units to be too strong. This change encourages workers.

**Sheep **

Damage: 8 → 10

**Wave 18: Wale Chiefs **

Health increased by 2.1%

**Wave 19: Dire Toads **

Health increased by 1.2%

Balance Watchlist:

Evolution

Evolution looks strong, but we’re still evaluating if it needs to be nerfed, and if so, the correct way to nerf it.

Fixes:

• Fixed Nekomata evolve interaction with Alphamale / Lioness

• Removed Evolve icons from Tab builds overview because it's too noisy visually

• Fixed Legion spell undo accidently removing some other spells too that shouldn't be removed

• You can't sacrifice your sheep anymore (who would ever do that anyway??!!)

• You can now sell your sheep in sandbox

• Evolve now applies the evolve ability to already placed fighters after you pick it (useful for sandbox, and also fixes mini&wumbo)

• Disabled Shepherd for Mini&Wumbo for now because its tricky to make it work

Hotfix 1 (v26.1a)

Fixes:

• Changed Dwarf Banker back to natural armor (Accidental change)

• Evolved units now properly load into sandbox

• Evolved units show up in the tab builds

• Scrappy's wind up ability now loads into sandbox

• Monthly patch notes codes are now case-insensitive

• Fixed reconnect bug in 1v1 / custom games
