The champion balancing is worse than expected for me (many legendaries are still extremely weak while others are super powerful) and I dont speak about a certain area of the game but in general.

Dracomorph is still pretty much the worst 5*.

They should change a lot more regarding character balancing.

And why are stun/freeze/sleep not affected by debuff duration effects?

So no new actual content. no tournaments, no faction wars. This big update just added referral program and balancing?

Astralith remains unusable... she would need a huge buff at nearly every point, but instead she stays a huge joke for being a legendary. 

Before you buff Rares and Epics you should fix issues with those unusable Legendaries!!!

Since the 1.7 patch the game stages don't always load completely, many times the game will freeze (campaign, CB and arena) and you have to restart. After this the energy/CB key is lost and a arena fight counts as a loss.

The Clan Boss changes look great. I'm in a very casual beginner guild and I've seen a lot of people have never even gotten any loot from the CB. Not everyone is intrested in spending time creating a team for CB. I've seen teams of epic lvl 50 champs doing as little as 300k per key.

This should get people more motivated, and help retain players. One big problem to get the easy boss down has been that experienced players have left once they have learned how to do 1-2m per key. Now they will be able to continue on the Normal boss in the same guild. 

Can we have the new Accuracy and Resistance formula? it is very important for us

What a huge let down after such a long wait.... Bug fixes are nice but basically the game is still in a totally half finished state after almost 2 months of official release. 

And about masteries: you just made Giant Slayer basically obsolete because of numbers... in terms of average damage, GS now has to be used on a skill with a quadruple attack to have the same average damage on a boss than Warmaster (2.4% vs 0.6% per hit). I suppose now it's just a question of getting both on your champs...

I really like the new missions and changes, however there is two things that make me sad:

1st still so many bad/useless legendaries. I don't mind them being super rare, but you should at least have no useless ones. Obviously not every legend can be top 5 champions, but there are some that are not useable at all which is sad if you pull them.

2nd I just spend about 1k or more gems on getting to giant slayer mastery, enjoyed it for about a week now, and suddenly it's worse /sad) but also I could'Ve saved HALF those gems if I waited until the update because of  scroll drops got doubled.

MAkes me sad having spent money on progress when I now just get kicked in the .... xD

Referral Program sucks for old players:

1. we already have invited our friends to the game and won't get any rewards

2. instead we have a permanent "blinking" button on the mainscreen which tells us all the time how stupid it is to be a early adopter 

3. now people are spamming with the refferal link everywhere 

Champion fixes? Fixed an issue where bellower's ascending is like an epic?

Hey, everyone! Dropping by to answer the questions that have been posted here so far. I won't answer each post specifically, but all points have been taken into account.

1) Champion Balance. It's true that there are many Champions that need to be looked at, and we do have a fairly long list to choose from. What is important to understand is that not every Champion is easy to fix by changing a couple of values in the damage formula or their Skill cooldown. Some might have to go through more drastic Skill changes. Both Astralith and Dracomorph are on our to-do list (though the latter is amazing for Clan Boss, so those of you who have him - that's a good niche for the time being), but will likely need to be considered far more thoroughly. We can't do them all at the same time, but our goal is to make these Balance changes far more frequent.

2) Lack of major features added. It's true that this Update lacks any major features, I've mentioned it a couple of times when asked about what can be expected. Good news, you will see a major Tournament this week. 

3) Giant Slayer Mastery. I've noticed some players express their worry about the proc chance decrease for Giant Slayer and the change to Warmaster. I do see where you are coming from, because I prodded our Game Designers with similar worries when I first saw the changes. First things first, Giant Slayer for Champions with multi-attack Skills was a tad too strong and created a very clear meta. We wanted to give players a chance to create teams that are slightly more variable. So, Warmaster was adjusted to cater to sing-hit Champions, while Giant Slayer, though slightly nerfed, remains a good choice for multi-attackers. Numbers-wise, Warmaster is the best for one-hit Skills, Giantslayer - for three-hit and above. Two-hit Skills are about even in terms of chances/bonus damage inflicted. We've also made sure all Champions can have their Masteries reset for free in case you decide Giant Slayer is no longer the top-tier Mastery you wanted for your guy or gal.

4) Issues with Challenges. These are still being looked at, unfortunately. The Challenge that requires Artifacts of a specific Rank being equipped (Rank 3 and not anything above) will get a hotfix soon. Challenges that require a specific Artifact (Offense gloves with ATK % specifically from Normal mode) will be fixed in one of the coming updates, though we hope to do it ASAP.

5) Referral. Issues that exist right now are going to be fixed today. We are also not planning to allow existing accounts to qualify for referral slots as it would be far too easy to get everything. I'll discuss this matter with the Dev Team, but I am not really sure what can be done.

6) Champions that were affected by the "No extra turn on kill with the Giant Slayer proc" can now kill, maim, and burn to their heart's content once more. The bug has been fixed. 

P.S. Added the brief spotlight for the Arbiter at the end of the Patch Notes.

Was there a fix for Septimus passive not working when he attacked with counter? He never adds a count to debuffs when attacking with counter

Hi Mariusn

Sorry but your maths is wrong here.

Warmaster no only has double the proc chance, but double the damage.

This means you need to land twice as many hits with GS to do same damage, with half the proc chance.

So even with a 4 hit used like Coldheart, GS is essentially useless.

warmaster:  10 uses = 6 hit at 4% = 24%

GS on Coldheart: 10 uses (40 hits) = 12 GS hits at 2% = 24%
