Game Balance
Read more about our design philosophy on game balance, and use Drachbot to see mastermind, unit, and spell win rates and pick rates!
Masterminds
Cartel 
Income penalty on wave 11: -40 → -39
Slightly low pick rate, low win rate.
Champion 
Income penalty on wave 11: -14 → -15
High pick rate, slightly high win rate.
Chaos
Starting gold: 5 → 4
Slightly high pick rate, high win rate.
Miner
Starting gold: -14 → -15
Slightly high pick rate, high win rate.
Moneylender
Borrow ratio increased on waves 5-19 by an average of 29%
Slightly low pick rate and win rate.
Legion Spells
Divine Blessing
Health: 1900 → 1850
Slightly high pick win rate and win rate.
Pawn Shop
Gold: 70 → 68
Slightly high pick rate and win rate.
Magic Lamp
Gold: 15 → 13
Bug fix: you can no longer roll Magic Lamp with Magic Lamp
Very high pick rate and slightly high win rate.
Vampire
Lifesteal and spell vamp: 29% → 30%
Low win rate.
Fighters
Peewee
DPS decreased by 4.3%
Veteran
Health decreased by 1.5%
High win rate.
Bone Warrior
Health decreased by 6.7%
Slightly high pick rate and win rate.
Pyro
Attack speed increased by 2%
Slightly low pick rate and win rate.
Tempest
Machine Gunner: Damage decreased by 6.7%
Machine Gunner: Now also hits flying units
Leviathan
Bombardier: Damage decreased by 9%
Bombardier: Now also hits flying units
The ground-only effect of these abilities wasn’t well understood by players or particularly interesting. It was also unintuitive how Tempest and Leviathan were weak on wave 17, despite being perfectly-typed there.
Sea Serpent / Deepcoiler
Attack speed increased by 1.6%
Slightly low pick rate and win rate.
Pipsqueak
Attack speed decreased by 2.1%
High pick rate and slightly high win rate.
Honeyflower / Deathcap
Health increased by 2.2%
lightly low pick rate and win rate.
Mercenaries
Mimic
HP and attack speed decreased by 1.7%
High win rate. The rework from last patch was a success in terms of making Mimic more versatile, but it's a bit too strong.
Siege Ram
Health increased by 0.9%.
Low usage rate.
Kraken
Health decreased by 1.3%
Slightly high usage rate and win rate. Shifting power from Kraken to Siege Ram.
Waves
Wave 12: Mantises
Health increased by 0.8%
A small nudge to make it more competitive with wave 13.
Wave 19: Dire Toads
Attack speed decreased by 1.6%
Wave 19 is slightly too lethal.
Classic Balance Changes
PvE
Slightly increased propensity to income send + king up in the early game
Decreased propensity to income send + king up after a long save
Increased mercenary send variety
Balance Watchlist
The dev team is constantly monitoring game balance, between looking at data and listening to community feedback. If anything is being more closely monitored than usual, it will be listed in this Balance Watchlist section. For this patch, the following are on the watchlist:
Strong: Redraw, Angler
Weak: Proton, Goblin Copter
Improvements
Improved Mimic description and added Giga Mimic ability description
Fixed a bug where unintended characters were allowed in usernames
Improved matchmaking to favor lower MMR range differential over higher parity games
Fixed descriptions for classic ranks
Added a tooltip when hovering the Classic queue, that shows the description of the current hot mode.
Fixed some display issues with hp/mana regen
