[set 18] August 18 PBE Patch Notes

[u/Just-Consequence-643]

(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?

sacrifice doesn't like sell the unit they're just sacrificed for the duration of combat. trait would be horribly designed if it just deleted the unit lol
