Prince (Buff)
 |
Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| Hitpoints +3% | 1615 | 1669 |
- Prince will get a small buff in HP to coincide with this season’s theme.
- His win rate has also been on the low side, and the balance team wishes to give him a boost.
Royal Delivery (Nerf)
 |
Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| Damage -10% | 402 | 362 |
- Royal Delivery has been dominating in Season 11 as one of the most used cards with equally high win rates.
- It feels is too powerful for a 3-elixir card.
- Its drop damage will be reduced by 10% to increase the number of Recruit hits it takes to defeat Musketeers and Wizards.
Bomb Tower (Nerf)
 |
Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| Lifetime -29% | 35 sec | 25 sec |
- The long lifetime of the Bomb Tower has enabled over defensiveness in recent metas.
- It is often played proactively as a defense and is able to survive against multiple assaults because of its long lifetime.
- Its lifetime will be deduced by 10 seconds (a 29% decrease) to allow for more deck viability.
Earthquake (Rework)
 |
Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| Movement Speed Reduction | -35% | -50% |
| Hit Speed Reduction | -35% | 0% |
| Spawn Speed Reduction | -35% | 0% |
- Combining Earthquake with fast attackers has been a dominating strategy used in many decks in Season 11.
- Part of the reason why EQ is so effective is because of its slowing effects against enemy attacks, thus allowing cards like Hog Rider to deal guaranteed damage.
- The rework in Season 12 will remove the hit speed and spawn speed reduction effect completely, but increase its slowing effect against troops’ movement.
- This change is intended to align the spell with its core design intention: to punish misplaced melee troops, instead of perfectly placed defenders.
Deploy Time Standardization
- Cards composed of 2 or more troops will deploy 0.1 second apart from each other.
- For some cards, this is a reduction in deploy times (Minion Horde, Goblin Gant go from 0.15 sec to 0.1 sec). For others, it will be a newly added delay.
- The only exception will be Skeleton-based cards. Skeletons and Skeleton Army will both deploy instantly.
