◎ Balance Change Explanation
For this update, we’ve lowered the duration of some of the strongest spells and structures (Energy Beacon, Exhaust, Spike Shield). We think these changes will still let players utilize their strong effects, while not being overly oppressive.

After analyzing match data, we’ve discovered that Empire vs. Republic matchups are a bit unbalanced, with Empire having the advantage. Apart from reducing Spike Shield’s duration, we hope that the slight reduction to Lancer’s HP, as well as buffs to Pulse Tank and Carpet Bombing can help balance out this matchup.

Our team will continue to monitor the effects these changes have on the battlefield after they go live, and will continue to adjust cards in the future if necessary.

◎More cards incoming!
Apart from these changes, SoE will see 5 all-new Empire cards coming with the update. Please stay tuned to social media for upcoming reveals!
