Progress and Balance Update on Artix Entertainment

Progress Report

This week has been a busy one keeping up with requests to distribute Gifting items while working on the new Battlepass, but we're finally ready to announce the launch date for the next BP: The Kaiju Slayer Battlepass will launch Friday, October 4th. If you're still grinding through it or haven't started yet, you still have time to complete the current Nanotech Nightmare showcase!

Balance Changes

With this update, EpicDuel has ungone a massive update to item stats. We are essentially reverting the change made years ago that allows someone to allocate all points into one stat when upgrading and item. Previously, the limit was 40% of the stats available stats for an update. While this update was certainly interesting and changed balance dynamics, it led to out-of-control stat stacking. To revert this change, we will have to do a few major changes to roll back to the old system. Please pay attention, because this will probably affect you!

1. All upgraded items will be reset to 0 stats. This is inconvenient, especially if you've upgraded 100s of items, but it is the only way to do this change.

2. All items will be unlocked to the current level of their owner. This will allow all affected items to be upgraded for 100 Credits.

3. Everyone level 15 and over will be given 25,000 Credits to allow them to upgrade their items with minimal additional cost.

We apologize for this inconvenience, but this update will allow us to limit the impact of stat stacking going forward.

After logging in after this update, remember to update your equipped items so you can redistribute their stats before you battle!
