Paragons: Balancing Changes

During Season X: Highlanders, many adjustments and balancing changes were made to improve the core experience of playing Conqueror’s Blade. Now, as Paragons approaches, even more changes are coming to improve balancing for Heroes and Units, with a focus on targeting stats and damage, but not changing their mechanics. With this also comes a promise to roll out balance changes more frequently—stay tuned for more information throughout the new Season!

These changes will go live on March 24.
