Balance Changes

@EmpiresPuzzles

Bleed rework

• Added a new icon for “Barbarian” Bleed (the Bleed inflicted by the Barbarian Talent)
  • Barbarian Bleed will remain distinct from “regular” Bleed; the two Bleeds can be active in concurrence and will not override, refresh, or interact with each other
  • As before, when Barbarian Bleed is re-applied on a target that already has it, remaining damage from the previous Barbarian Bleed will be carried over and added to the new Barbarian Bleed as additional damage
• The “stacking” type of non-Barbarian Bleed has been removed from the game
  • Heroes such as Rokkamush and Tyr now also inflict “regular” Bleed
    • Rokkamush’s Bleed damage: 180 → 192 (max level; not Limit Broken; no Emblems)
    • Tyr’s Bleed damage: 200 → 212 (max level; not Limit Broken; no Emblems)
  • As in the case of other damage-over-time ailments like Burn and Poison, “regular” Bleeds will always simply override each other
• Flat damage values attached to Bleed will now properly scale with the Hero’s attack stat
  • Affected Heroes include Gnomer, Malin, Tahir

Result: Bleed damage is reduced to 94 from 140.

Avoiding Overspending & Heartache

More Insights & Reading

I highly recommend reading these three threads for more information and context on summoning odds:

• How much should I spend?- HotM cost, and odds, analysis

• [WARNING] A Summons Experience - Chasing Guardian Panther - A Warning for Chasing Heroes

• What exactly is a Gacha? (Read before posting things about "unfair pulls")

If you’ve read them a million times before, you may consider reading them again before deciding on your budget for summoning. A little time spent deciding on how much money you want to risk on summoning goes a long way to avoiding disappointment, frustration, and regret later.

[Kilted]

My second most desired of the new 3s being added. Seems solid and would fit into my green options which until now are predominantly support very well

[DGERic]

This dude looks solid to me. VF + Rogue is nice.
Downside is that in Rare Tourneys and Challenge events there’s no Lvl11 Mana Troops to bring him down to six tiles.

[TLK914]

Yeah, but that would just be unfair.

[EC1]

So hes effectively fast in 3* raid tourneys.
Is there any point to him over any other 3* green hitter?

[slartibartfast]

Will there be a miss gnomer

[Gururch]

Does the bleed damage stack?

[zyairie]

i think bleed is always a stackable DoT type, can anyone confirm? or is that just when the barbarian’s talent kicks in?

[Gururch]

I just tested. The last hit overrides the prior one. Does not stack. Unfortunate

[drdare]

i have 2 of him, I am planning to take both just for fun. and keep snipping my way

[BigDaddyRat]

Yes, it does. Here’s 2 screenshots proving it stacks…tyr and gnomer, and gretel’s barbarian talent and gnomer…

[Gururch]

That’s not what I was asking, I wanted to know if Gnomer’s special stacked with itself (like Valeria). It does not. What you showed was Gnomer bleed stack with barbarian skill. Good to know but wasn’t what I was looking for

[BigDaddyRat]

Agreed, i misunderstood. You’re correct, his bleed will not stack with his own bleed.

[jake-of-all-trades]

as a very fast hero with rogue talent he will be great in attack esp in tournament bloody battle, i always use fast heroes in bloody battle where speed is important to kill those heroes that deals devastating ult, theres no time to recover well maybe just to buy sometime using kvasir

[MagicBunjee]

Adding a 2LB card here as there isn’t one yet. Full attack path.
