Dear players,
First of all, thank you everyone for feedback on Athena’s balance change.
To keep the game fun and interesting, there should always be a variety of compelling and competitive strategies to choose from. Our testing process failed to detect how powerful Athena was against Titans, to the point of being the best hero to use against them by far. I want to express my apologies for that.
I would like to make it completely clear that we are absolutely not trying to play unfairly here. In fact, we made the change as soon as we detected the issue instead of waiting the whole month. We have updated our testing process to ensure this does not happen again, although keep in mind regular balancing updates with minor hero tweaks are needed as the game evolves.
We have now updated Athena’s Special Skill to make -4% defense decrease, instead of earlier -2%, which we feel is a good compromise. We have also increased the number of hits limit from 5 to 6. We will also fix the bug with Athena’s status effect stacking with other defense nerfing effects in the near future.
Best,
Petri & Small Giant Games team
