Official Watch List

Hi,

this is the official Watch List for BattleForge.

When a card was put on the Watch List, it means that we are currently investigating it. The values on the cards might change in one of the next patches, but this is not necessarily the case. It only means we are currently looking into this card and the balance of that card could possibly change soon. A card might be taken from the watch list at any time without any changes. When a card is being changed, this is communicated through the patch notes in the forum.

Cards currently on the Watch List:
-

We always open a thread for each card in the cards forum - let us know your thoughts about these cards.

Please take note of the edit in the first post.


P.S.: Before I have to listen to a lot of "Oh, you misspelled 'Mortar Tower' BIG TIME!!!" - jokes, please read today's news.

Parasite Swarm has been removed from the Watch List as it has been dealt with with the latest patch.

Enjoy

Hi,

we came to conclusions as to how to adjust the 4 cards that are still on the Watch List (they will stay there until the next patch will be released as the changes will be applied then).

Further, we decided to add 3 more cards to the Watch List:

• Nomad
• Lightblade
• Amazon

Please provide us with feedback in the respective threads!

Righto, the changes have been announced to the cards which were on the Watch List up until today. The Changes are as follows.

Undead Army
Balancing Change: Undead army - Production costs increased 100 -> 110 (upgrade level 3: 90 -> 100)
Bug fix: Summoned units - Units that are summoned or conjured by other cards do no longer allow to play out Spells next to them that require own ground units to be nearby. This behavior already work as intended for Units and Buildings and has now been adjusted accordingly for Spells as well.

Shrine of Greed
Balancing Change: Shrine of Greed, Gimme Power - Activate to immediately transfer 50% of own and friendly player’s current void power back in the actual power pool. There will be no power refund at all and the void power will not grow any further for 30 seconds afterwards.

Energy Parasite
Balancing Change: Energy Parasite - Production costs decreased 90 -> 50, damage decreased 48 72 -> 38 58 (U3 53 80 -> 42 63), Life decreased 300 -> 225, Power Drain decreased 50 -> 20 (U3 60 ->25)

We have 3 new cards to add to the Watch List. Why not tell us your thoughts on them.

• Stormsinger
• Nightguard
• Lyrish Knight

Silvanoshi

The follow changes to the Watch List cards will be implemented in the next patch.

• Lyrish Knight: Damage type S -> XL, DPTS 500 -> 400
• Nightguard: Starts with recast, after Swap Nightguard gains 75% damage reduction, removed splash damage (48 72 -> 60 with every hit) and changed projectile to homing
• Stormsinger: Fixed a bug that caused the unit to shoot too slow (dpts was ~473 instead of 530). Additionally increased dpts to 560 . Removed splash damage (deals now 75 with every hit) and changed projectile to homing. Increased Production costs 70 -> 75

Three new cards have been added to the Watch List.

• Firedancer
• Fountain of Rebirth
• Gladiatrix

Silvanoshi

The following changes have been made to the current Watch List cards.

Balancing Change: Firedancer - The unit's siege bonus has been reduced from 150% to 125% on upgrade level 2 and from 200% to 150% on upgrade level 3.

Balancing Change: Gladiatrix - The unit does not inflict area damage anymore. Instead it deals all damage to the targeted enemy. Its spear will now hit the enemy more reliably.

Balancing Change: Fountain of Rebirth - The building's production costs have been reduced from 100 to 60. Instead of regenerating friendly units every 2 it will now heal them every 3 seconds but the abilities overall duration has been increased from 10 to 30 seconds. It will restore 15 life points per tick (18/21/25 life points on the upgrade level 1/2/3).
