⚔️ July Balance Update: Strategy Overhaul

The July update brings impactful changes across the board, from subtle hit speed tweaks to major damage adjustments. This patch is all about increasing strategic depth while making underused troops and modifiers more viable in competitive play.

📉 Nerfs – Risk, Not Reward

These units and modifiers have been dialed back to create more room for counterplay and variety:

🏹 الملكة رامية السهام

Range: 5 → 4 (–20%)
Invisibility Duration: 3s → 2.5s (–17%)

Still deadly, but now riskier. Shorter range and visibility windows make her more punishable.

🛡️ بيكا

Damage: 385 → 360 (–6%)

Less burst dominance, giving room for other damage dealers.

⚔️ فارس

Hit Speed: 1.43 → 1.66 (–14%)

Still tanky, just not quite as relentless. Encourages smarter frontline usage.

💥 آوتش! (Modifier)

Damage Reflection: 50% → 40% (–20%)

Slightly less punishing to ranged attackers.

📈 Buffs – Bringing Back the Underdogs

The following troops and modifiers have received boosts to their effectiveness:

🗡️ غول الرمح

Damage: 132 → 156 (+18%)

A damage boost to make him a more serious ranged threat.

💣 مفجر

Damage: 96 → 108 (+12%)

Better AoE impact even against well-spread troops.

🧨 الفارس العملاق

Damage: 73 → 103 (+42%)

Now packs a bigger punch to match his tanky presence and elixir cost.

🤼 المشاجر

2/4 HP Bonus: 30% → 40%
4/4 HP Bonus: 60% → 80%

More survivable in mid-to-late game scenarios.

💀 الموتى الأحياء

Bonus Damage: 20% → 30% (+50%)

Stronger returns on cursed enemy takedowns.

🧠 الأقل أفضل (Modifier)

Bonus: 20% → 25% (+25%)

Now more impactful in encouraging lean builds.

🔄 Adjustments – Sharpening Identity

These units have received both buffs and nerfs to reinforce their intended playstyles:

🌀 فالكيري

Hit Speed: 1.43 → 1.66 (–14%)
Damage: 116 → 127 (+10%)

Slower attacks, but each swing hits harder:more rhythm, same DPS.

🧟 ملك الهياكل العظمية

Hit Speed: 1.66 → 2 (–17%)
Damage: 140 → 180 (+28%)

Massive swing power now fits his fantasy of dominance.

🪓 غيلان

Hit Speed: 0.71 → 0.66 (+7%)
Damage: 96 → 108 (+12%)
HP: 540 → 504 (–7%)

Glass cannon reborn. Less durable, more lethal.

🛡️ الجبار

2/4 Ally Shield: 15% → 20% (+33%)
2/4 Self Shield: 30% → 20% (–33%)
4/4 Ally Shield: 30% → 40% (+33%)
4/4 Self Shield: 60% → 40% (–33%)

Simplified but still powerful. Ally + self shields now stack more intuitively.
