Balancing Update: January 13, 2020

In the newest balancing update, we focused on some Heroes that were in need of adjustment, curtailing the spawner meta, and improving a Legendary card. Read all the changes below:
 
Volt
Based on internal analysis and player feedback, Volt was a bit too powerful and in need of some balancing changes. In the end, he'll still be effective but more on par with other Heroes.

• Decreased Stun duration from 0.5 seconds to 0.3
• Reduced Stun Chain Radius from 5 to 4.5
• Increased Attack cooldown from 1.7 seconds to 1.9
• Decreased Range from 9 to 8
• Chain attack only hits up to 3 additional targets, not 4

Ghost
Volt wasn't the only Hero in need of a bit of a nerf. Ghost's core stats will remain unchanged, only getting a change to her Slow effect and range buff.

• Decreased the potency of Slow effect by 25%
• Decreased the Effect Range of her buff from 6 to 5.5

Scarab
On the other side of the Hero spectrum, Scarab was in need of a buff to increase its viability. We believe an increase in Speed, for both Scarab and its Zaplings, will provide that.

• Increased Speed from 16 to 20
• Increased Speed of Zaplings

Bomber
To help mitigate the spawner meta, we've increased the viability of two Support cards. The first is the Bomber, which gets an increase in Damage.

• Increased Damage from 110 to 160

Airstrike
The other Support card to get a buff is Airstrike and like the Bomber it will get an increase in its Damage. We're hoping these changes will help get both of these cards into more decks over the more popular Toxic Bomb.

• Increased Damage from 100 to 150

Mortar
The Mortar was meant to be a strong defensive Structure, but not this strong. With a change to its Hit Points and Range, we feel it will be a bit easier to counter.

• Decreased Hit Points from 1,000 to 800
• Decreased Range from 9 to 8

Sniper
The recently-released Legendary card, Snipers, just didn't feel legendary enough. To help rectify that, we've made their attack more potent, but kept it balanced with a slight Damage reduction.

• Increased Range from 12 to 16
• Decreased Attack cooldown from 6 to 4
• Decreased Damage from 750 to 700
