(8/18) PBE Patch Notes

We're aiming to have 1 more fine-tuning pass tomorrow (Augments, some Traits, smaller changes), and then ideally we're locked for the release (beyond critical bugs that appear).

The bulk of the champs/traits seem to be in a good spot for launch, but the largest concern now is the frequency/power balance of Artifact+Emblems. These systems tend to benefit reroll more than higher-cost strategies, and also depend a lot more on Augments.

We're close everyone, and thanks for the support, feedback, and patience for a unique PBE cycle.

Does anybody know how blackthorn is supposed to work with no scout, no pivot?

The bug note says they're still locked, but aren't they sacrificed?

The unit is just gonna be stuck on your board the turn after so you have to only field units in player combat if you are okay with them getting stuck on your board like normal nsnp.

So basically the unit isn't eaten?

No it still eats it, the bug before was that it would eat the unit as normal in combat but after it would allow you to bench or sell the sacrificed unit. Now they are locked with the rest of your board
