Alliance War Season 62

KabamPinwheel

Foreword

Hey all, and welcome to another Changelog for Season 62 of Alliance War! As we ramp up into the end of year, we have some exciting developments coming down the pipe for Alliance War. To ensure that those plans line up with other events for the End of Year, this Season will be 5 weeks long. 2 Weeks of Off Season, and 3 Weeks of On-Season, with 9 War Season matches rather than the normal 12. To compensate, we are lowering the threshold to qualify for season rewards from 5 to 4 wars. In addition, we have some minor changes for the map to allow for more Attackers to take on some Tricky Nodes, and reduce the difficulty of some key nodes on the map. What are those changes? Let’s find out, shall we?

Map Changes

Node 16 was a particularly rough placement for some players. Aggression: Fury is a Buff that stacks up quick, and with the right Defender, means that you could potentially be taking unavoidable damage which leads to a frustrating War Experience. Our in-house Balance Team has taken a look at recommendations, and we have settled on the following change broken down by Tier…

ELITE

Champion Boost 200%
Health Boost 200%
Special Burst Tranquilize - 3
Blood in the Water - 2
Physical Resistance - 60

EXPERT

Champion Boost 150%
Health Boost 150%
Special Burst Tranqualize - 3
Blood in the Water - 2
Physical Resistance - 60

CHALLENGER

Champion Boost 150%
Health Boost 100%
Special Burst Tranqualize - 3
Blood in the Water - 1
Physical Resistance - 40

HARD

Special Burst Tranqualize - 2
Physical Resistance - 20

INTERMEDIATE

Champion Boost 100%
Health Boost 75%
Special Burst Tranqualize - 1
Physical Resistance - 20

We have outright removed Aggression nodes from lower Tiers, and replaced the Aggression Node with Blood in the Water in higher tiers to push Non-Damaging Debuffs from Special Burst Tranquilize as the main threat. Purify / Cleanse those debuffs from you to avoid the increased damage from Blood in the Water, and you'll reign supreme upon any Defender that is placed on that node.

In addition, we have opened up the counters to Node 49 using a modified version of the buff, Polka Dot Power. Before, the node used to look for Damaging Debuffs alone. We’ve deemed it a restrictive node, and as a result, have decided to allow Passive Effects as well for players. This opens players up to let them use Champions who rely on Passive Damage Effects to earn Power for their Specials. This is now what the Node looks like between Tiers…
