Please claim your copywrite when petri will release exactly this statement for next “check of the metrics” balancing and 3lb

[Bwang]

For my roster, I’m most annoyed about Rhys losing his cleanse. There’s not many cleansers out there. Why remove that?
(… to sell us new heroes with those skills … That’s a depressing thought.)

I just finally spent my valuable alpha aethers on Jove… that was bad timing as well! Wonder if I’ll use the valuable free aether reset on him straight away?

[Bandolivin]

Jove is still top notch - please show some sympathy for milena & rhys & furdinand owners & users

Joves nerf is nothing compared 2 those…

[Bwang]

Furdinand’s is disastrous. I’m so sorry for his owners.

[Hybride]

I haven’t LB2 anyone yet… maybe I should hurry to use my alpha Aethers and tomes of experience before they make me use precious elemental Aethers to get to 90…

[Zool73]

I reaaly can’t believe what you do! REALLY - your complete introduction text is nonsense and you definately destroy or make heros useless. And what do you offer ? An ascension Token - not really?

I use my cGazelle in War, PvP and Raid as support - useless - would not level her - do I get my ascension material back?
I traded Milena in Soul Exchange as a super fast healer - now 15% - just keep it - I want my 20 traded heroes back?

I really understand that you nerf Anne, Jove and Aramis…of course after making the money out of it - especially after the challenge event…you know they were overpowered and you had to fix it - the half forum told you so … and those nerfs are fair…

But why Healer? Cleo? Maybe - cuase of her usage in Defense lines…but the others? You want to “soften” the effect of special skill damage - okay - I am fine with it, even if cPanther and cAlasie become mor and more useless after the THIRD !!! Nerf - but together with those weakenings of attacking heroes you steal us the support - SO NO CHANGE at all - you turn heros that are fun to play to dust catchers in he museum. When you change such significant things we should have a choice - a nerf ist a decrease of the healing of Gazelle - not a remove e.g. ?

I am really fed up…I was always willing to spend a monthly budget on that game…but with this update - if the balance changes for supporters stays as mentioned…you have no right to earn any money - just for doing an terrible job as game designers!

[Sa2rN]

Also Lewna in SE… Got small nerf

Totally agree about Brynhild… Now she’ll be crap
I’ll not just strip her, I’ll feed her

[Harlikwen]

My fellow lover of Red Hood in 2023, I thought I was alone! Stay strong, one day she will receieve the love she deserves!

[LightHOwUSE]

I`m so agree with you. If they really kill the most non-defense, but such useful heroes for attack, than they will show their true face - $_$. I just hope they will not do this.

[nicos]

Wow this is a huge imbalance update

[notyou87]

It’s sad about Brynhild, but i rarely use her now anyway - just in 1 of the Trials.
So I will happily keep her or maybe remove the emblems and give them to someone else.

Ludwig is the only one I can see for me that is going to be affected, as well as Shrubbear.
I looked at the main ones I use and none of them seem to have been ruined, thankfully.

Feel sorry for everyone whose heroes and defences have though.
But SG knows they can do what they want and people will still keep spending because it’s an addiction.

[Faeldin]

I don’t think the developers are stupid. Accordingly, they must think we are stupid and that they can just lie right to our faces. Proof:

@Petri

We would like to strongly emphasize that these tweaks are NOT a targeted attempt to kneecap any individual Hero or elevate specific kinds of Heroes. To the contrary, our internal testing tools indicate that in the grand scheme of things, the vast majority of the Heroes affected will simply remain about as powerful as they are now!

After reading this, I’m looking at the plans for Gazelle:

• Guardian Gazelle - Heal over time effect removed
• Guardian Gazelle (C) - Direct healing removed

Gazelle will be absolutely useless in raids from now on and will be demoted (if at all) to a simple Titan hero. She was my absolute favorite hero and now I will never be able to play her in war ever again! Unbelievable.

Other examples of nerfs that rob the heroes of their main strength from now on and make them almost useless in war:

• Furdinand - Cleanse effect removed and Damage share effect removed
• Aramis: - Boosted healing per damage dealt reduced: 30% → 20% and Ailment immunity effect is now dispellable
• Rhys - Cleanse effect removed

These are heroes that we have literally built up and collected over years. The new reset buttons don’t help anymore - this is just extremely sad. I’m completely losing interest in this game.

In the course of past development in the game - I think the developers have received enough critical feedback on this - many players have drastically reduced their spending in this game. Maybe this “offensive” is now a reaction to that, in order to sell new heroes even better. For me, this game is now dead; I’m now taking out every pay feature so I won’t even be tempted to spend another dime. Very sad, the whole thing, but at least I’m saving money. @Petri

[Aeryn]

It’s a Moon Family thing.

[chouyifu]

A major wave of buff and nerf is coming… I won’t spend 99 cents on gems anymore. This game will go downhill soon if SG kept messing around e&p. This was my favorite game during my 5 years journey, but I cut some time off with the game for couple of weeks already. I’m still playing war. My frustrations are on the verge of quitting this game. Please make SG to stop nerfing heroes. This game becomes a slot machine with an ingredient like gamble. It’s not fun anymore.

[PlayForFun]

Ludwig will charge

• 20% mana in turn 1
• 40% mana in turn 2
• 60% mana in turn 3
• 80% mana in turn 4
• 100% mana in turn 5

To nearby allies.

So 300% mana in total instead of 350%.

[Pnjk1954]

C Guardian Panther gets another nerf. Why bother anymore. Spend time and money to have it taken away on so many heros.

[EarlVerdant]

So glad that we finally get a meaningful buff for Guardian Owl…let’s see what we got.

Oh wait…nope, nothing. Not even a stat buff like virtually every other hero in the game.

Well played, SG…well played.

PS - sorry for those of you with heroes that are getting nerfed significantly. My only signifcant nerfs are the taunt heroes, Gazelle (whom I only use on dark titans), Khufu (the only Alpha LB on my squad, but I will still be able to use him everywhere), Milena and Waterpipe (whose minions will be far easier to kill now).

[CaptainFurface]

F this. Gonna nerf all the heroes, special skills, and tomes. Seen this bs in other games and totally ruins them. It’s a money grab pure and simple. The game company claims it’s for the players when it’s really for them. I will be greatly curtailing my spending in this game if this is the direction they are going in.

[Aragorn_God]

Looks good, I think raids will be more fun after this

[Sarah2]

@Petri

The Big Balance Update — in which we have taken a comprehensive look at our more recent Heroes and made certain sweeping adjustments — is the first step we’re taking in line with our new philosophy.

200 heros having their cards altered is just the first step? Oh my! & for the show.
