Feedback

Supercell intended this rework as a nerf. It changes the deployment delay of each Goblins from 0.1 to 0.2 sec. This staggering deployment will make them less effective at surrounding units, part of what makes Goblins powerful in the recent meta.

	Before	After
Deploy Delay Time 100%	0.1 sec	0.2 sec
Deploy Delay Speed -50%	1/0.1 sec^-1	1/0.2 sec^-1

Deploy delay is expressed in seconds. Speed is expressed in per-second (sec^-1) Therefore the change is -50%, i.e. 50% slower.

Ice Wizard’s popularity has slowly gone down recently, so he’ll get an increase range for his spawn attack, going from 2.5 tiles to 3 tiles.

	Before	After
Spawn Attack Radius +20%	2.5 tiles	3.0 tiles
Spawn Attack Area +44%	19.6 tile²	28.3 tile²

Night Witch will get 1 bat at death. If you are familiar with the bat death spawn over the years, when she had 2 bat death spawn, she is very strong. When she had none, she is week. I’m glad that Supercell has decided to take the difference and consider having 1 bat instead of the 2 bat. In fact, there are other ideas being discussed that are in fact fairly interesting, which has to do with some new game mechanic. But it would also be hard to understand the change without a full video explaining it. You don’t have to worry about that since the change is now simple — 1 bat spawn on death.

	Before	After
Death Bat Spawn	0	1

Skeleton Dragons don’t see a lot of usage these days except in Fireball bait decks. They will get a small HP increase and also an increased spacing. This increased spacing strategy has worked well for Rascals. Let’s see if it’ll have the same effect for Skeleton Dragons.

	Before	After
Hitpoints (HP) +5.8%	208	220
Hitpoints (HP) Level 11	532	563
Hitpoints (HP) Level 14	705	745
Spacing +50%	1 tile	1.5 tile

Battle Healer doesn’t see a lot of light besides being used in Elixir Golem deck. By giving her a slight boost, we might start seeing her in other decks.

After balance, she will gain a Spawn Heal. The amount of healing (95 base at Lvl 3, 201 at Lvl 11) is approximately twice that from a single heal of her regular attacks (48 base at Lvl 3, 101 at Lvl 11). The Spawn Heal Radius will be 2.5 tiles, approximately 50% of the range of a Heal Spirit

	Before	After
Spawn Heal Amount	0	95
Spawn Heal Amount Level 11	0	201
Spawn Heal Amount Level 14	0	266
Spawn Heal Radius	0 tiles	2.5 tiles

Everyone has been calling for a Phoenix nerf, so this is now added. Instead of nerfing all the respawn state stats as has happened in the previous balances, the bird will be getting a nerf that’s significant. Her hit time will be lengthened from 0.9 to 1.0 sec, effectively making her hit 10% slower.

	Before	After
Hit Time +11%	0.9 sec	1.0 sec
Hit Speed -10%	1/0.9 sec^-1	1/1.0 sec^-1
DPS -10%	DMG/0.9 dmg/sec	DMG/1.0 dmg/sec

Goblin Hut has been extremely popular in the recent meta. It’ll get two less Goblins on death spawn.

	Before	After
Death Goblin Spawn -66.7%	3	1

Mighty Miner usage has been relatively high (12% in UC, 19% in GC). He’ll get a HP reduction after balances, but not as drastic as before. Instead of -6.5% as previously planned, his health will be reduced by 2.2% only. 2.2% is fairly small and I wonder if it will be noticeable at all.

	Before	After
Hit Points -2.2%	2300	2250
Hit Points Level 11	2300	2250
Hit Points Level 14	3059	2992

Almost all top players had commented about how effective Ice Spirit is and how much value it brings for 1 elixir. After balances, it will get a 0.1 sec reduction freeze duration. It’s -7.7% less time on freeze, will it be enough?

	Before	After
Freeze Duration -66.7%	1.3 sec	1.2 sec

Based on your feedback, Baby Dragon will no longer get a rework.

Based on your feedback, Poison will no longer get a nerf.
