Hey, Raiders! We’re ironing out the final creases before Update 4.70 goes live, but we’re ready to share some of the details with you. This time, you can expect to see several cool QoL improvements and a Champion rebalance to address some of the most immediate PvP & PvE troubles. Read on to find out more!
First of all, we’re introducing a neat little feature that will let you - whether you’re a green newbie or a grizzled veteran - learn more about various Raid Bosses and how to beat them before you get into a fight. Every Dungeon, every Boss Stage in the Doom Tower, Faction Wars, and even Clan Boss Battles will all feature a special pop-up that contains a full description of the Boss’ Skills and the overall strategy you’ll need to deal with them. The pop-up menu will be accessible via a special button on the Battle Selection screen.
If that alone isn’t enough, the second tab will feature a list of Teams of the Week that, as the name suggests, were the most successful at dealing with that particular Boss. With this feature, you’ll be able to plan and adjust your Teams before entering a difficult Battle and, we hope, it will make the experience a lot smoother!

I'm sorry but if you nerf Urogrim it is a scam on your part against the community. It was developed by you and tested a lot by you and other players. You shouldn't have brought him out if he is supposedly so overpowering, which he is not at all. He's just a top champion who brings many people forward in this game. People have invested a lot of money and time to get it in the first place and then to build it. You should leave this champion as he is. The option was there to change him before he got out.
My first ever comment:
Urogrim: This champ is Plariums version of "Yoda"!
Not only have many of us who spent lots of coin to get him and book him up but this could be one of the signature champs that only a percentage of us have like Krisk that everyone wants.
Plarium is making a mistake. I've spent more coin on this game than I want to say but this nerf will be the straw that breaks the camels back.
Hope they reconsider. That's the smart way to deal with this. Better to retract than proceed and piss off your customer base.
Deymtha looks really good.
Definately dont invest in her at all. She could be nerfed.... Never invest in the good champs. Only the "ok" ones to be safe at this point.
Also finished booking/building my Urogrim a few days ago. Can i have those books/chickens back?
Thanks for the buffs to my legendary vault guardians that I will never have the books to build out.
what you did to Urogrim is not cool at all, instead of giving your players more champs like him you nerfed him after a cvc tournament.
i understand he was op, but which player suffered because of that? Because he was not good in arena, that's for sure. It was because he was saving players resources and costing you money?
like it cost us money to invest in him ?
Edited by Moderator. There was no 10x for Urogrim. - H
I waste all my resources, money, champs and gems for him and you nerfed now?
Urogrim help players to speed up the times on dungeon and bosses and aimate to play, but if you nerf that....a lot of people want to stop play.
You should reconsider the decision of nerf champ, and let the community and players vote on these decisions
Edited by Moderator. Swears - H
All the people that are upset with the Urogrim nerfs...
Plarium, I think you can compromise here in a few different ways:
Perhaps try 1 or 2 of the nerfs at first, and see how much they effect the champion.
Or add a new feature that we, the players, could remove books off of champs. This would be an amazing feature to help players who maybe put books into champions we didn't realize are under-performing, first epic/lego, or such! You could even have it cost GEMS!
I'm rly pissed about Urogrim! U knew about him before releasing... I get him 2 days ago and maxed him instandly... And after a few solo runs I get the info about the Nerf! If this Nerf will happen I cancel the monthly support... Tbh I don't get way more silver bc just of Kampagne... and stop spending... U hit us on Rss than u will earn the same - - > hit on Rss (real money support)!
P. S. : @plarium, PLZ start to balance (NERF) PvP Champs before touching PvE Champs
All of the new champions look great. I'm just hoping you don't pull a Brogni and force people to complete every single event to win (unless they are buying tournaments). If you make the epics frags like you normally make the legendary frags, this looks like an interesting fusion. Not being able to get any extra copies of the epics would be rough though. Hopefully you won't make the game unenjoyable for a few weeks again.
The rebalance mostly looks good. Basileus largely falls in line with what I was asking for, although if you don't double the multipliers on the A2, it'll still be a useless skill that nobody uses. Pyxniel wasn't enough. Her freeze should be an AOE and then she'd be a strong champion. Out of all the candidates, she was the one due for an over-buff. Urogrim is just silly. Why make all those nerfs at once? A few of them would have been enough to bring him to a more reasonable place. What's more, if you guys had a public test server, you could have gotten feedback and made updates prior to the few content creators looking at it right before it went live. As it is, I'd worry about lawsuits if I were Plarium. Do you guys ever run things past legal? I don't have him but I feel sorry for those who do.
A clan mate of mine said this, and I couldnt have said it better myself, so im going to copy and paste it:
The day this Urogrim nerf goes live without refund for books, masteries and chickens is the last day I have played this game.
This is straight out deception of the customers.
Release an overpowered Champ opposite to feedback of every content creator, let everyone invest and then nerf him massively?
They expect you to buy epic books in their store for 11 bucks, making this a wasted 150 bucks invest... and you are supposed to swallow this just like that... no way
Edited, there was no 10x event for Urogrim.
It's a
Edited by Moderator. There was no 10x event.
Pretty good changes for the legendary champions.
However, I agree with the community. Urogrim is being downgraded, which initially you let us invest as his skills are nice. It feels like you are indeed stealing from us all the way, as time and money are involved here (depending on the type of player you are)
I could better used my resources for different champion then.
- Energy or brews to leve up: to 40, then to 50 and finally to 60
- Energy or gems for masteries
- Chickens: Four 4* chickens and Five 5* chickens
- Books
- Shards
- Time!!!!
Pyxniel - you make subtle changes. Maybe I could find a use for her. Maybe with a champ like Achak who also freezes. So she can remove freeze and then what? Dark Elhain hits like a truck but what value does Pyxniel bring once she unfreezes? Why bring Pyxniel? Where do I need someone who does more against frozen enemies while also removing freeze from herself? If I am fighting Tormin with Achak? LOL If I could think of a way, I then see 18 books and I stop thinking because who would invest in her? I was hoping for the Ma'Shalled treatment (OP), but we didn't even get the Visix treatment (solid). She is one of the best looking champs in the game and you leave her in our vaults. Plarium, you had to make her good enough to overcome the 18 books you required to make her useful! This update looks like someone tried to tweak her skills and never actually answered the question of where in the game she fits and how anyone would justify spending 18 lego books on her when her best purpose seems to be filled by a login epic that is much cheaper to build.
Teela's update also seems pointless. The change was so minor that she will remain in the vault. If you only update a few champs every six months, the quality of the change has to be more meaningful. Also, epics and rares remain trash forever?
A couple of the new epics look good which is nice to see that the pool doesn't continue to get watered down, especially since epics don't get rebalanced. Well, then there is Urogrim so do we know that these epics will be the same in a month???
One positive in this update - thank you for the additional storage!!
the new epic dwarf looks promising.... like tons of posibilities....but if i go for her, build her and a team around her.... who will guarantee me, that she does not get the uro treatment the next day....
i see a lot of UK CB potential... but that will go down the drain instantly smn at plarium thinks.... come on, lets nerf her too.....
the trust is just gone, and with every resource invested i will wonder .... was it all for nothing... when will they nerf the next champ i have and make him useless....
