Relic Arena 1.5c

We're pushing a small update, with some MMR quality of life improvements, a few balance changes, and a FOURTH OF JULY BUNDLE!

Matchmaking Improvements

  • Supreme Overlord is no longer derankable
  • You can no longer lose MMR for getting top 4 (has a minimum of +1 MMR, no matter the MMR difference in the lobby)
  • MMR loss will be less punishing when high rated players play in a very low rated lobby

To offset matchmaking being much more forgiving, we plan on doing a soft MMR reset in 2 weeks from this patch. Effectively, your MMR will be reset, but the matchmaker will try to quickly calibrate you to your "true MMR" (if you win low rank lobbies, the matchmaker will put you in higher rated lobbies, until start losing).

Balance Changes

  • If you are leader level 5 and shop level 5, you can save up to 2 gold for the next round (instead of it just disappearing).
  • Mana Burn is now reduced by Magic Armor.
  • Upgrading to leader level 5 on Darwin and Harambe will now immediately change the cost of the Darwin Relic/Harambe Banana to 0 if it is already in your shop.
  • Fixed Gandhi interaction with Tommy gun not resetting their aim
  • Fixed some interactions with Catapult and Pirate Flag sometimes activating multiple times

4th of July Bundle

Celebrate in style!

New bundle added to the store! Contains a Legendary Abe Lincoln Bald Eagle Skin, Abe Lincoln Ranger Hero Skin (because we need more hero skins in the game), Fireworks Winstreak, and 3 Epic emotes.

Germany

  • Added German translations to the game, for the Germans.

We are working very hard on some big stuff for patch 2.0 (second Battlepass patch), and you will know the exact date of that soon. Before then, we have some fun stuff cooked that will hopefully tide you over until the big patch. More info on that coming in the next couple of weeks.

As usual, thank you for being the BEST community, and we hope you like the changes in the meantime!
