Merge Tactics Balance Changes – Undead & Juggernaut Buffs (August 2025)

⚔️ August 2025 Balance Update: Focused Power

This August 2025 balance pass targets two key traits to encourage clearer strategies and fairer counterplay. Expect stronger Undead pressure and more rewarding Juggernaut setups, alongside several important fixes.

📈 Buffs – Stronger Payoffs

💀 Undead

• 2/4 Cursed Troops: 1 → 2 (+100%)
• 4/4 Cursed Troops: 2 → 3 (+50%)

The Undead bonus was too hard to trigger and underwhelming once active. Increasing the number of curses helps you reliably unlock the bonus, especially when opponents hide Troops in the backline.

🛡️ Juggernaut

• Shield Duration: 8s → 12s (+50%)
• 2/4 Shield Amount: 20% → 30% (+50%)
• 4/4 Shield Amount: 40% → 60% (+50%)

Building up Juggernaut takes commitment, but the shield often faded too quickly. Longer duration and bigger shields open up more defensive and tempo-based strategies.

🛠️ Other Fixes

• Fixed a crash that sometimes happened when tapping Training Camp.
• Mega Draft no longer includes Cards above Level 15.
• Seasonal Badges were unintentionally awarded to some players; these have now been adjusted.
• Challenges can once again be restarted.
• Goblin Machine (4-star) now hits 6 targets instead of 4, as stated in the Card's description.
• Performance improvements.
• Various other small corrections.
