• Seasonal Mutation: "Season of Luxury Tax" •

"Season of Puny Humans" is over! The changes from that season (newbies being twice as powerful and costing twice as much) are no longer in effect.

Welcome to the "Season of Luxury Tax"!

Seasonal Mutation: In this season, components for crafting Tier 5 items have unexpectedly gone up in price: all now cost 30% more. This only affects modes with King of the Hill and the Director's Cut mode — the recession hasn’t reached Brawl… yet.

We always appreciate your feedback regarding seasonal mutations. Regularly — usually one week before the season ends — we hold calls with players on our Discord server to discuss game balance and upcoming changes. Join us!
