RAID Digest (02.06.23)

Greetings, Raiders! RAID: Call of the Arbiter limited series continues unfolding, and while we all are left pondering whether Kael has been actually betrayed, let's turn our attention to the first RAID Digest of June. Without further ado, let's get started.

Polymorph Rebalance

Currently, many Arena teams rely on Polymorph to discourage landing debuffs on them or stripping their buffs. While this limitation was the original purpose of the Polymorph, we see that its restricting impact is much higher than we planned.

Therefore we are going to introduce the following change: a Champion's ACC will start affecting their chances to transform an opponent into a sheep unless the Polymorph is upgraded to the 6th level. The Blessing's Stat bonuses and the chances to apply Polymorph are going to remain the same.

We will provide a free Blessings reset after the specified rebalance. The rebalance's date is yet to be announced but is unlikely to be earlier than July.

Live Arena Nuances

Currently, there is a bug in the Live Arena Area Bonuses - Ignore DEF bonus does not apply to damage inflicted by Masteries such as Warmaster, Giantslayer, or by Blessings. The fix is already on our agenda, though probably not for the very next update.

After the recent Live Arena update, a player can meet opponents there from two Tiers below or two Tiers above. That effectively means that a match is possible between players who may be several hundred Live Arena points apart, especially in less populated Tiers for the more reliable opponent search. Still, the Live Arena matchmaking algorithm factors in different players’ data to find opponents for suitable challenge, even if they are from different Live Arena Tiers.

Some Subtleties of Battle Mechanics

The following section is for hardcore players who seek to maximize their battle performance by any means necessary and, thus, who pay close attention to every detail.

The description of the Legendary Orc Champion Nogdar's Passive Skill "Headman's Return" might be a bit misleading. Not only may it revive him on the occasion of being killed when all his allies are alive but also whenever he is already dead, but the number of his dead allies changes to 0. For example, imagine a battle that has started with a team of 5 Champions, including Nogdar. Then he and his teammate fall. Then, at some point, that teammate is resurrected (making the number of Nogdar's dead allies 0). At that moment, Nogdar will be automatically revived if his Passive is not on Cooldown. We are considering changing the description of the skill in order to reflect that nuance.

Please note that the Stoneskin buff increases the incoming damage from Bombs to its owner 3 times, not 4 times, as was erroneously specified earlier.

Clan vs. Clan Tournament and Personal Rewards

The next installment of the CvC Tournament will feature no Personal Rewards

That's it for today's Digest. Have a fabulous weekend!

Great, now just add a cooldown to polymorph or max it at 1 sheep at a time and it'll be fixed.  When is stoneskin going to be addressed?  Either add more champs that ignore it or champs that have an increased chance to remove it.  Polymorph and SS are the 2 worst additions to the game in the 3.5 years i've been playing.

Would be nice if PLARIUM does some flash-back fusions for some of the ones, we've missed or they add some new feature / event where we can earn the remaining parts of champions which we missed to fully collect.

Please reconsider your Frenzy set change.  Changing it to be based on debuffs makes no sense,  if you get enough debuffs to gain a turn, you are completely useless when your turn comes since you are debuffed and cant do anything useful if you have something like block active skills,  or atk/def debuffs in the case of a nuker. Any high resist frenzy gear will now become useless as well.
