Elf Minions

Santa’s Challenge is just around the corner, and in the spirit of the upcoming season, we’ve decided to make Elf Minions just a bit more beefier. This change should help many older Winter Heroes fare slightly better in the cold up north.

  • List of affected Winter Heroes:

    • Legendary
      • Augustus
      • Krampus

“Season” Coins in Loot

This one isn’t really a “balance” update, but certain sources of in-game loot will now give you Untold Tales Coins instead of Dunes Coins!

And that’s all for today! As always, we will keep a close eye on all Heroes affected by this update in case further adjustments become necessary. For why we occasionally make post-release balance adjustments, please refer to our Hero Balancing FAQ.

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