Balance Changes — August 2024 (Season 62)
A buff-heavy patch lifting underused mid-elixir troops like Hunter, Ice Wizard, and Cannon Cart, while trimming Arrows' tower damage and reworking Void toward its anti-swarm role.
Void's rework was the headline: its single-target damage came down while its damage against five or more targets went up sharply, pushing the spell toward swarm control instead of tower sniping.
The Wizard changes moved power from the Evolution's shield into the base card's hitpoints, making the regular Wizard sturdier without keeping the Evolution oppressive.
