The following balance adjustments will be made in the October maintenance.

From the development team

Thank you for your continued enjoyment of playing TEPPEN.

We are committed to encouraging a wide variety of useful decks and strategies that players can create by combining Hero Arts and cards. We have gone through with some planned balance adjustments for this purpose.
Hero Arts will be adjusted to help create new deck archetypes. Along with that will be adjustments made to some cards that too easily create advantageous board states singlehandedly.

Please see the following for each balance adjustments.
