Welcome to the December 2021 Balance Update!

In this update, we are normalizing power levels across the Season 2 roster by greatly improving mana speeds for a significant number of Heroes. Of course, those receiving a mana speed buff also had their special skills adjusted accordingly to keep their effectiveness in check. We hope these changes bring about a more balanced and enjoyable playing field.

This month's notes are pretty packed — in addition to the mana speed overhaul, there are also the usual stats tweaks to individual Heroes, trimming and streamlining of many special skills, and a big buff to the Corporate Family Bonus. Check out all the details below!
