The Big Balance Update - Details & Release Notes — Empires & Puzzles Help Center

Welcome to the June 2023 Balance Update!

Today (6 June, 2023), we’re conducting the largest balance update in the history of Empires & Puzzles, with more than 200 Legendary Heroes receiving at least one buff. (No Heroes are being nerfed in this update. Epic and Rare Heroes are not receiving any individual adjustments.)

This balance update has gone through multiple rounds of beta testing over several weeks, and additional internal revisions have been made based on the data and feedback gathered. We had initially prepared a wider and more direct set of changes (which did include a number of nerfs), but have ultimately decided to take a more conservative approach at this point in time, considering how volatile the post-Aether Power landscape still is. We will of course keep a very close eye on how this update affects the game and continue to gather more data.

For why we occasionally make post-release balance adjustments, please refer to our Hero Balancing FAQ. If you wish to share your feedback and discuss this update with fellow players, please feel free to join the discussion on our Community Forum.

Thank you for your continued interest and support. Best of luck in the battles!

Full list of affected Heroes

Please note:

All stats listed here are based on Heroes' fully Ascended, non-Limit Broken, and non-Emblemed max level state. Maximum Costume Bonus is applied (if applicable).

Changes to damage-over-time effects (e.g., Burn, Poison, Bleed, Water, etc.) are due to changes to the caster's attack stat; they are not a result of Special Skill adjustments
