Balance Changes — April 2026 (Season 82)
A nerf-heavy patch for Season 82: five Hero cards are toned down (Hero Magic Archer's dash now costs 2 Elixir), three Evolutions lose damage, and Firecracker and Skeleton Dragons get quality-of-life reworks.
The Balloon Festival season is mostly about reining in the Hero roster — every one of the five Hero changes is a nerf, from Hero Ice Golem losing its knockback entirely to Hero Knight's taunt window shrinking to a tenth of a second.
Defensive staples Cannon and Fisherman also get clipped, while Skeleton Dragons trade a slower hit speed for a much larger splash radius.
