Don’t get too attached
Details from Beta, especially brand-new Beta content, don’t tend to be very reliable for actual release.
It’s incredibly common that features are changed during Beta testing, or sometimes even after testing but before release. That is, after all, the purpose of Beta testing.
So I wouldn’t get too attached to any of this — it’s not unheard of for entire portions of features to be removed or reworked, or for radical changes to functionality to be made.
Big Balance Update changes
Some changes are added / updated / reverted since the previous Beta beat topics:
- 🧪 Early Information on "Big Balance Update" [Part of The Beta Beat v58]
- 🧪 Early Information on Round 2 of "Big Balance Update" [Part of The Beta Beat v58]
Max Health reduction update
Previous behavior:
When a Hero reduces an enemy’s max health, it now also removes all boosted health from that enemy
New behavior:
The boosted health should not be entirely removed when reducing max health, but the effect of the reduction should be more severe when the target has boosted health:
- Reduces max health of the target by X. Any boosted health is removed by additional X.
