Introducing the latest model from the Adventure Laboratories.

Hell, it's about time that the mask mandates have been lifted.

New units coming next month!



Priestess of the Abyss & Azeria - Invigorate: Max stacks: 5 --> 3

Nerfing the synergy with Lost Chieftain and Sacred Steed spam in Classic only.

PvE
- Increased mythium sent on waves 21+ to close out games a bit sooner

Megamind
- No longer can roll Hybrid (this was already the case for Ranked).

This makes Megamind consistent across all queues.


Cash Out - Gold: 21 → 20

Cash Out is out-performing Greed, so bringing it in line with a small nerf.

Fiesta - Gold gain from leaking: 13-48 → 12-51

Rescaled to give less gold early game and more gold late game. This makes the early game less coin-flippy and gives players more agency against Fiesta.


Lizard Army - Mythium: 45 → 50

Low win rate and pick rate.

(Caster Pennywise was right)


Looter / Pack Rat Attack speed: 1.08 → 1.11

Low win rate and pick rate.

Fire Archer - Attack speed: 0.966 → 0.99

Dark Mage - Mana regeneration decreased by 7%

Shifting power from Dark Mage to Fire Archer.

Whirlybird - Giga Boomstick: Now uses mana instead of an ammo system, allowing it to synergize with Sacred Steed, Pegasus, Magician, and Starcaller

This allows Whirlybird to be viable after the early game with mana sources.

Green Devil - Health: 1250 → 1240
- Attack speed: 1.282 → 1.266

Slightly high win rate and high pick rate.

Berserker / Fatalizer - Attack speed: 2.22 → 2.17

High win rate and pick rate.

Gatling Gun - DPS: 117 --> 115
--- Damage: 49 --> 47
--- Attack speed: 2.38 --> 2.44

Nerfed thresholds against wave 3.

Vulcan Cannon - DPS: 321 --> 317
--- Damage: 135 --> 130
--- Attack speed: 2.38 --> 2.44

Very high win rate.

Holy Avenger / Sovereign - Aegis / Final Judgment: Attack speed gain per stack: 4% → 3%
- Mana gain on attack increased by 14%
- Mana gain on being attacked increased by 29%

Now reach max mana more quickly but reduced stats.


Four Eyes - Damage: 65 → 42
- Death Stare: Damage: 5 → 10

Solidifying its identity as a counter against raid bosses.


Wave 10: Granddaddy - Attack speed: 3.64 → 3.57

Wave 11: Quill Shooters - Attack speed: 1.64 → 1.67

Wave 13: Drill Golems - Attack speed: 1.55 → 1.57

Shifting power from wave 10 to 11 and 13.

Wave 15: Giant Quadrapuses - Attack speed: 0.75 → 1.47
- Dual Shot removed

Wave 18: Wale Chiefs - Damage: 185 → 134
- Attack speed: 1.45 → 2
- Poison-tipped Pole: 270 single-target and 20 splash damage every 4th attack → 180 single-target damage every 3rd attack

Wave 19: Dire Toads - Attack speed: 0.78 → 2.22
- Spit Shot removed

Experimental changes. If cheap unit spam resurfaces, we may consider bringing Dual Shot, Split Shot, and the area of effect damage on Poison-tipped Pole back.

Wave 21: Legion Lords - Damage: 135 → 138
- Legion King: Damage: 540 → 552
- Attack speed: 2.63 → 2.56
- Indomitable: +10% damage and damage reduction → +10% attack speed and damage reduction

Now less countered by cheap unit spam.


Over the past few weeks, we have fine-tuned the pathing & targeting changes that went out in v11.03 in numerous hotfixes. We will continue to tune them as needed. Most of the changes are already on live servers; v11.04 just has the following:
- Fixed a rare case of units running in circles in lane

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:
- Classic meta and balance outliers (we're still collecting community feedback here)


Added various visual effects to menu buttons to spice things up!

• Emotes: Added a sound effect (max 1 time per second) when you use an emote.
  
• Spectator: Improved win probability formula

• Fixed a bug where pinging autosend mistakenly displayed in the pinging player’s language instead of the message recipients’ language

HUGE thank you to everyone who has helped up to this point!
Last few months' patches were huge; this month we've kept things a bit lighter to fine-tune game balance as we've collected more data & feedback on the recent changes.

As always, with any major patch, we'll keep a close eye on things and rapidly hotfix as long as needed.

Thank you again for playing Legion TD 2! We hope you continue to enjoy the game. If you've enjoyed the game, but haven't left a review yet, please consider posting a short (hopefully positive ) review for the game! If the game reaches 90% positive, Steam will give it more visibility = more players = more freelo better matchmaking!
If you enjoy these updates, please give it a Thumbs Up, too!

And as always, if you have constructive criticism, let's chat about it. Discord[discord.gg] and /r/LegionTD2 on reddit are our main channels of communication, and aside from the development team, there are community helpers who can ensure your feedback is heard, as well as answer pretty much anything you've ever wanted to know about the game. If you want a guaranteed answer from the devs, the monthly AMAs on /r/LegionTD2 are your best bet.

Sincerely,
The Legion TD 2 Team

This post will be updated with April hotfixes, with the most recent at the top.

(April 30)

Major Fixes

• Fixed a pathing/targeting case where ranged waves were being a little too "smart" about sniping injured fighters instead of hitting closer targets; this fix should make it easier to do things like split-tank with Fenix on Wave 11
  
• Fixed a pathing/targeting bug where a unit in some circumstances would stop moving when its desired target was far away
  
• Fixed a bug where some players were mistakenly getting the new player Classic rating bonus when they shouldn't have been

• Reduced King prioritization of Four Eyes to match its new balance numbers

Balance

• Priestess of the Abyss/Azeria: Invigorate now only stacks up to 5 times in Classic. Nerfing their synergy with Lost Chieftain and Sacred Steed, which is too strong in Classic.
  
• PvE: Now sends every wave on Wave 21 (like it used to), but now also adds an extra 10% mythium every wave to add more ramping pressure

(April 24)

Major Fixes

• Fixed a few cases of ranged/melee splits being unintentionally disrupted by the previous hotfix
  
• Fixed a rare case where towers weren't attacking in Tower Defense mode

(April 24)

Major Fixes

• Fixed a few pathing/targeting issues where a ranged unit would stop attacking when its target was slightly out of range
  
• Fixed a few pathing/targeting issues where ranged waves/mercenaries were "sniping" injured fighters a little too eagerly
  
• Improved consistency of pathing/targeting priority based on how far forward a unit was built

(April 22)

Minor Fixes

• Fixed some miscellaneous display-only bugs

(April 19)

Major Fixes

• Fixed a few more cases of pathing/targeting behaving unexpectedly

(April 19)

Major Fixes

• Fixed a pathing issue where ranged units would sometimes run slightly ahead of where they were supposed to stop
  
• Fixed some issues with -save/-load commands not working when loading from Match History

(April 18)

Major Fixes

• 4v4: Fixed a rare bug where your full build would get sold when the game mistakenly thought you were dual building

Balance

• PvE: Now much more likely to Power Send if skipping the previous wave, and Income Send if doing a resend
  
• PvE: Slightly less saving
  
• Continuing to monitor various gameplay changes from v11.03, but likely won't make changes till at least after the Nova Cup this weekend

Improvements

• Postgame: Leaks Covered now has a tooltip that shows the breakdown of which waves the player covered (Screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/U2L0NWW.png). Also now rounds to a whole number.
  
• Postgame: Leaks Covered: fixed a bug where bosses were mistakenly being counted as 100% leak value instead of scaling based on remaining health

(April 17)

Major Fixes

• Fixed a bug where Yolo + Reroll didn't work
  
• Fixed a bug where Sacred Steed/Pegasus didn't work with Angler/Bounty Hunter/Holy Avenger/Sovereign

(April 17)

Major Fixes

• Fixed a pathing issue where units would rapidly go back and forth between two targets, unable to make up their minds
  
• Fixed an attack speed issue where units would unexpectedly sometimes have a longer cooldown between their first and second attacks
  
• Fixed an unintended interaction between Sacred Steed/Pegasus & Whirlybird

Balance

• PvE: Wave 21 now sends every other wave instead of every wave
  
• PvE: Mercenaries costing 200+ mythium are now sent in a fixed order, rather than always preferring the most expensive cost mercenaries
  
• 1v1: Fixed a bug where an incorrect amount of gold was given for enemy leaks

Minor Fixes

• Fixed a UI bug where the campaign difficulty selection window sometimes mistakenly showed up in-game/in loading screen
  
• Fixed a UI bug where the wave power chart didn't appear immediately after rerolling

(April 16)

(April 16)

• Fixed an unintended interaction with Embargo and PvE mode
