    Hey everyone! I am happy to announce that the patch is already live as a surprise!

    Here are the patch notes:

    GENERAL FIXES
    - Fixed Dreadnought having Empowered: Offense on both upgrade lines. He now has Trample on Upgrade Line 1.
    - Fixed Groble Piledriver costing 7 more nora than intended.
    - Increased the CD of Bubble by 1 (from 2 to 3).
    - Cultural Contamination has been banned from ranked play until rework.
    - Consume Resources has been banned from ranked play until rework.


    FORGLAR SWAMP
    - Salaman Dervish:
    - Base stats: 8 DMG, 7 SPD, 1-1 RNG, 1 DEF, 54 HP.
    - Base abilities: Amphibious, Attack: Physical, Equipment Boon, Impatient, Mobility.
    - U1 changed to: Brutality, Initiative 2, Sweep.
    - U2 changed to: Logistics: Flanking, Provision: Offense, Precision.
    - Final Nora Range: 73-74.​
    - Salaman Sentry:
    - Base stats: 9 DMG, 6 SOD, 1-1 RNG, 1 DEF, 48 HP.
    - Base abilities: Amphibious, Attack: Physical, Craft, Provision: Utility.
    - U1 changed to: Clone Equipment, Clone Relic, Snatch.
    - U2 changed to: Relocate Relic, Mystic Push, Ruin.
    - Final Nora Range: 63-69.​
    - Slick and Buzz:
    - Nora cost reduced by 6.​
    INSIGHTS: This patch isn't about Salaman, but I've had these ideas bouncing around my head for a bit. Salaman are one of the strongest themes we have, but also one of the hardest skill decks to play. I hope these changes will continue to push them into a position where you don't need a PHD from FSU to play them. Also Slick is getting cheaper, mainly because for what he brings to the battlefield he just is rarely worth the deploy.

    IRONFIST STRONGHOLD
    - Paladin Commander:
    - Base abilities: Attack: Magical, Commander, and Hold the Line.
    - U1 changed to Noble Sacrifice, Charge 3 and Encouraged.​

    INSIGHTS: Paladin Commander will be getting a small tweak to better compliment his commander ability.

    SAVAGE TUNDRA

    - Nora Cost increased by 10.​
    - Ferren Runner:
    - Trickster in U1 replaced by Cloak 2.

    - Nora Cost increased to 35 from 25.​
    - Tundra Discipline:
    - Nora Cost increased to 35 from 30.​

    INSIGHTS: Ferren seem to still be kicking butt and taking names even after some small nerfs. Hopefully this can help bring them closer to a fair playing field with other themes.

    INSIGHTS: The night of the living dead is upon us. This patch is mainly focused on 2 themes entirely and zombies is one of them. With this I hope to bring them out of their graves and back into a dominant position in the game. They haven't been in a playable state for a good bit, so hopefully this multi-champ revamp gets them crawling towards a position where people feel they can comfortably enter a ranked game and be competitive with them again. I'm also trying to fix Cursed Temple to be viable. Will see if that pans out.

    SUNDERED LANDS
    - No changes this patch!

    UNDERDEPTHS
    - Angel of Pain:
    - DEF reduced to 0, nora cost unchanged.​
    - Altar of Votaev:
    - Battlemaster 2 replaced by Motivate: Unholy.
    - HP set to 20.
    - Nora cost increased to 35 from 25.
    - Now limited to x1.​
    - Griefbearer's Fountain:
    - Removed Motivate: Unholy.
    - Nora Cost reduced to 25 from 30.​

    INSIGHTS: Looking at these relics, it never really made sense why Altar had Battlemaster 2. It is usually meant to be played at the back to help with CD's. That being said, it also didn't make sense for Fountain to have motivate for a heal bot. Altar is getting a buff, but at the same time Altar is getting a slight nerf. Angel of Pain was back to seeing play. Unfortunately she saw a lot of pain and lost some of her resiliency. She was adjusted by the escalation change and kept up with 2 base Def, Hunter Walker, and Masochist. Making her way to tanky for the role she should be in. She lost the base Def and got poked up a bit in nora to make her more fair overall.
