Jull-tide Changelog

Round length

All units have had their health lowered by 25%. Health values are now 1.5x the original values that we shipped with the game initially.

Dev Note: We wanted to find a balance between early game and late game survability for our units. Doubling the health was too much, and we think we found a good balance with the new health values.

Standard / Duos Mode flow changes

Starting Unit Cap changed from 1 to 3.
Players start with 5 gold.
Interest is now capped at 3 (rewarded at a maximum of 30 gold)
Round Gold increased from 5 to 7.
Creep rounds have been removed.
Items are granted every 5 rounds. Item quality does not change if you win or lose the round.
Underlords are no longer selected before the game and are now pickable in a new phase later into the match (Round 10 for Standard/Duos, Round 2 for Knockout).
Higher tier units now deal more damage to enemy players at the end of a round.
- Unit damage is now = 1 + (Power Level / 3)
- unit Power Level = Cost
- unit Power Level = Cost + 2
- unit Power Level = Cost + 4

General changes

The Lords of White Spire leaderboard has been updated to support Ranked Knockout and Ranked Duos. https://underlords.com/leaderboard
You can now view stats from previous rounds in the post-game scoreboard.
You can now view the duos scoreboard on the post-game screen.
Knockout tries to avoid giving you the same opponent twice in a row.
The multiplier for permanent stat changes in Knockout for e.g. Brawny kills or Legion Commander duels is now 4 instead of 5.
Jail has been disabled.

Underlords

Underlords have changed based on community feedback.
Players don't start the game with an Underlord, instead they are chosen during the match (Round 10 for Standard/Duos, Round 2 for Knockout).
Underlords have been streamlined into Fight Styles. Fight Styles contain a Core ability and an Ultimate.
Underlords talent selection has been removed. Some of the talents have been merged into the Core Underlord abilities. See individual Underlord sections below.
Hype system has been removed. Underlords will cast their abilities on cooldowns.
Underlord Core abilities start each round with 50% cooldown remaining. (eg. Anessix's Martyr's Boon has an 8 second cooldown. It will trigger for the first time 4 seconds into the fight.)
