Dear Hamster Kings!
Itβs time to sink your teeth into a new combat dynamic, enjoy new quality-of-life improvements, take a look at new Manager Hamsters, and dive straight into the thick of the upcoming battles of the Winter Hamster Pit Season! Let's see whatβs in Todayβs Update:
βοΈ Combat Formula Rebalance
As we mentioned earlier, the combat formula has been adjusted to reflect the desired battle dynamics. Letβs recap the key points:
The combat formula worked well when Cartel power was only a few million. As overall power increased, balance issues emerged, and further upgrades became less impactful. In many cases, victories could be achieved simply by spending more Paw Healing Tokens. Our goal is to make progression feel consistently meaningful π. Support Cartels are also currently undervalued in boss fights. Regular Cartels contribute most of the total power, causing Support Cartels to fight on equal terms instead of providing a strong strategic advantage.
π How will this affect the game?
π Outside of Boss Pit and Regional Boss battles, very little will change.
π In boss fights (Boss Pit, Regional Bosses, and the final PvP battle), both the formula and Support Cartel contribution will be updated.
π Support Cartels will now contribute x5 power, including Idols, Crypto, Gurus, Coordinators, and future Support Cartels.
π Improved rewards in Pits and Regional Boss Battles
- In all Pits starting from Level 70, new large boxes with increased amounts of valuable resources will be available in the Pits.
- Battles against powerful Regional Bosses can now grant new rewards containing increased amounts of valuable resources, as well as new Manager Hamsters.
π§ New Manager Hamsters
15 new Manager-class Hamsters have been added to each main Cartel. They can be obtained as rewards from powerful Regional Bosses.
π In-game shop and fare update
Limited offers featuring Boss Invitation Token and Beast Boss Invitation Token have been added to the in-game shop. New lots with those Tokens are also available in the Fair.
π§Ύ Hamster Generals Collection
Now available in the corresponding Collection tab.
π Hamster filters added
In the tab with information about your Cartels, you can now use multiple filters: new Hamsters, available level-ups and upgrades, classes, and more.
