Patch 1.7

• KNOWN ISSUE FOR CONSOLES: You won’t be able to use Feathers to purchase items from the Store until 1.7.1.
  • This bug has been corrected for patch 1.7.1, which will be sent to certification on the very day we launch 1.7. It shouldn’t take more than two weeks to be certified and launched.
  • You will still be able to purchase the Tamer Pass with either Novas or Feathers. The bug only affects the daily and weekly Premium Store.
  • We didn’t want to postpone 1.7 any longer by re-starting the certification process, so we’ve opted for a new, quick build containing the fix, which is 1.7.1.
  • We deeply apologize for the inconveniences this might cause.

 

• Premium monetization has been removed from the game.
  • As of this patch, you won’t be able to purchase Novas anymore. There won’t be an option for it in the Shop anymore, and the bundles are being removed from all the platforms’ stores.
  • Remaining Novas in player’s inventories won’t be removed and you’ll be able to keep using them to purchase cosmetics.
  • You won’t be able to combine both Novas and Feathers to make purchases: the game will prioritize using your available Novas over your existing Feathers.
  • We’re rounding up everyone’s Novas to a multiple of 50, to make sure any remaining amount is usable.
    • This rounding will happen to the Novas on each platform (remember: you have a common stash of them, and the ones purchased in each platform. All the info here).
  • All the loot pools that included Novas as a reward will have them swapped for Feathers.
  • The Weekly Challenges of Tamer Passes will now reward Feathers instead of Novas, and the Premium Challenges will have added Pansuns to them. Tamer Passes will now be purchasable for 2000 Feathers or 750 Novas.
  • Items will have a price of 2.5x times its price in Novas. For example, an item that costed 300 Novas will cost 750 Feathers.
  • If you don’t have enough Novas to purchase something, you’ll see its price in Feathers, and Feathers will be used to purchase it. Please pay attention to the currency displayed when making the purchase, as that’s the currency that will be employed.
  • Once you don’t have any Novas, the icon will disappear from the backpack and from the Store UI.
  • There is no time limit to use your Novas, so please don’t feel rushed to employ them, and take your time.

 

• Welcome to the new Season, Neon Reverie!
  • This Season is inspired by urban culture, and a mix between modern and traditional. It’s a Season for nostalgia, but also for trail-blazing.
  • Enjoy the best of cybernetic and ancient Neoedo in a new Tamer Pass and new Store items.
• The Arcade Bar is ready to welcome all of you!
  • Play four different minigames inspired by the classics, but adapted and reimagined into the Temtem universe: Deniz Invaders, Innkball, Gharunner and Project Temcard.
  • Achieve certain scores to obtain unique rewards for each game, including housing replicas of the arcades, titles, and even a mount. You will also be able to obtain three new Gears through the Arcade Bar!
  • Challenge your friends and clubmates with an individual scoreboard for each game!
  • It’s a totally new building located in Neoedo, on the right of Nanto Labs.

 

• We’ve made some improvements to the notification of bonus Tamer Pass experience so players can see it more clearly.
• We’ve introduced a safety checkpoint after the Tucma prison, for players who were getting stuck there.

 

Economy

• We have triplicated the Feather rewards on all activities that could reward Feathers. This includes, but is not limited to:
  • FreeTem!
  • Dojo Rematches
  • Postal service
  • Koish of the Week
  • Kudo completion
  • Ranked matches
  • Tournaments (top 4 participants, who received Feathers)
  • Dojo Wars
  • Mythical Lairs
  • Archtamers.
  • Tamer’s Paradise’s Evershifting Tower, TemSafari, DraftArena, GritArena, and DigiLairs.

PvE

• We have increased the bonus catch rate multiplier of the Four-Leaf Clover Gear, from 1.1x ⇒ 1.2x.

PvP

• The recommended Technique sets of all Temtem on the Showdown pre-defined builds have been revisited and adjusted, corrected or redone.

A note from our balance team:

Over previous patch cycles, we have been reading a lot of feedback from the community and there are a number of specific points that kept coming up, which we wanted to act on:

• Too many dual-typed Temtem have access to efficient/powerful offensive techniques of both of their typings at 0 hold.
• Too many 0 hold techniques have unconditional high priority.
• Too many Temtem have access to both of the above at the same time.

An example of this is Tulcan. With Wind Burst and Fiery Soul, it could use offensive techniques of both of its typings on any turn, and one of these techniques also burned the opponent at high priority. As a result, it was consistently at the top of tier lists as these qualities made it “always good”. Our goal of this patch is to cut down on these types of Temtem, while leaving just a few like this. We don’t want to remove these kinds of Temtem completely as we believe Temtem with strong 0 hold techniques are an important part of aggressive play, which makes up a key part of the competitive ecosystem. However, it should be a more rare quality for a Temtem to have, rather than the norm which defines the benchmark against which Temtem are compared and evaluated. For this reason, we have decided to aim for Temtem learn sets, rather than apply a blanket nerf to high priority and low hold techniques. This has been at the core of our approach to balance for Season 7.

We’re sticking with the Highlighted Changes following your positive feedback on it! Remember that these changes will still appear under their respective categories lower down below.

HIGHLIGHTED CHANGES

• [NEW] Fiery Ballad 
  • Type: Fire
  • Damage: 95
  • STA cost: 25
  • Hold: 1
  • Priority: Normal
  • Attack Category: Physical
  • Target: One Target

• [NEW] Fiery Ballad + 
  • In combination with a Wind ally, Fiery Ballad gifts the user with +1 SPD.
  • Everything else stays the same.
  • Like with Phantom Whiplash in patch 1.6, we are still looking to add techniques that we think are necessary to the range of possibilities in the game. In this case we introduced a 1 Hold, physical fire move with normal priority. This is something certain Fire-type Tems that have been in the shadows for a long time were in need of. It’s always interesting to introduce synergy techniques to the game, and even more so, if its synergy involves something as key to the game as increasing SPD to the user.

• [NEW] Cable Link
  • If the holder takes part in a synergy Technique, both the holder and the ally regain 10% of their max Stamina.
  • So far we had no Gear that interacted with one of Temtem’s unique game mechanics, synergies. After multiple tests, we feel like this gear is way stronger than other Stamina gears in the right team compositions, while it’s weaker than these same gears when not used correctly. We cannot wait to see how creative you’ll get with this gear.

• [NEW] Haz’trap
  • When the holder gets knocked out, the attacker gets trapped for 2 turns.
  • This gear is revealed at the beginning of the turn.
  • We have been receiving feedback for some time about how oppressive the opponent’s leads can be, even from the picks and bans phase, and how in many occasions the first two turns’ offsets have too much weight in the game. With the design of Haz’trap we want to make it easier to look for an even exchange in the early stages of the game, even being able to trap the opponent’s key Tem, and aim to weaken it in the next turn. This gear will be revealed at the beginning of the turn, so both players will have to prepare their move around it, and further assess the range of possibilities and how the field situation may change in the next turn. During scrims we saw that any fragile and fast Tem is a good holder of this gear, but we are looking forward to see what strategies come out around it.

• [NEW] Power Bank
  • Offensive techniques gain 6.5% damage boost per hold.
  • Similar to Cable Link, we like gears that interact with Temtem’s unique mechanics. Hold is another one of these, and testing showed this gear played well. We found lots of Temtem that benefit from this gear (more than just Turoc!), and even discovered some new builds that it enables. We think that Power Bank is especially relevant and interesting for special attackers, as some of these tems, depending on their type, were lacking a damage-boosting gear. One of the users that surprised us the most during the scrims was Oceara, fitting perfectly with its Hurry-Wart trait. We’re eager to see players cook up ideas we missed in the testing phase!

  • In combination with a Wind ally, Fiery Ballad gifts the user with +1 SPD.
  • Everything else stays the same.
  • Like with Phantom Whiplash in patch 1.6, we are still looking to add techniques that we think are necessary to the range of possibilities in the game. In this case we introduced a 1 Hold, physical fire move with normal priority. This is something certain Fire-type Tems that have been in the shadows for a long time were in need of. It’s always interesting to introduce synergy techniques to the game, and even more so, if its synergy involves something as key to the game as increasing SPD to the user.

• Head Charge
  • Damage has been increased 80 ⇒ 100.
  • STA cost has been increased 10 ⇒ 15.

• New Synergy: Head Charge+
  • Synergy with the Crystal type.
  • Priority increased from Low ⇒ Normal.
  • In combination with a Crystal ally, Head Charge gifts the user with +1 DEF.

• Antitoxins
  • Priority has been increased Low ⇒ Normal.

• Aquatic Whirlwind
  • Damage has been reduced 130 ⇒ 120.

• Bubbles
  • Damage has been increased 27 ⇒ 36.
  • STA cost has been increased 5 ⇒ 6.

• Cold Geyser
  • STA cost has been reduced 29 ⇒ 25.

• Confiscate
  • Seized Condition turns have been increased from 3 ⇒ 5.

• Crystal Tail
  • Damage has been increased 60 ⇒ 90.
  • STA cost has been increased 10 ⇒ 14.
  • With this change we’d like to unlock a new Gear slot for physical Zenoreth set, instead of being forced to run Slingshot for this technique to be interesting enough.

• Data Corruption
  • Priority has been increased from Normal ⇒ High.
  • STA cost has been increased 17 ⇒ 26.

• Dim Mak
  • Damage has been increased 100 ⇒ 130.

• Drought
  • Doesn’t overexert the user anymore.

• Electromagnetism
  • Priority has been increased from Normal ⇒ Very High.

• Execution 
  • Added new effect: If this technique knocks an opponent out, the user gets +2 ATK and +2 SPATK.

• Fiery Heist +
  • Priority has been increased from Normal ⇒ High.
  • Seized turns have been reduced from 4 ⇒ 3.
  • Burned turns have been reduced from 4 ⇒ 3.

• Footwork
  • Added new effect: Gifts the user with the Invigorated Condition for 2 turns.
  • The whole description now reads as follows: Footwork gifts the user with SPD +2 and the Invigorated Condition for 2 turns.

• Glass Blade
  • Priority has been reduced High ⇒ Normal.
  • Damage has been increased 45 ⇒ 55.

• Hasty Lunge
  • Previous effects no longer work. It no longer overexerts the user for the next turn.
  • Priority has been reduced from High ⇒ Normal.
  • Damage has been reduced 90 ⇒ 80.
  • STA cost has been reduced 25 ⇒ 20.

  • STA cost has been reduced 25 ⇒ 20.

• Mirror Shell
  • Priority has been increased Low ⇒ Normal.

• Penance
  • Self inflicted damage has been increased from 20% ⇒ 100%. 
  • STA cost has been reduced 5 ⇒ 0.
  • With the previous buff to Straw Shield, Loatle has been overperforming. Because of his typings, Loatle has one of the best tech pools in the game, resulting in a huge advantage for the player who had Loatle open during the pick & ban phase. This change, while massive at first glance, allows for Loatle players to decide if they want to boost defense (with Sacrifice) or offense before losing Loatle, allowing also for its Seppuku trait to trigger in an easier way.

• Plague
  • STA cost has been reduced 31 ⇒ 28.

• Pollution
  • Hold turns have been increased from 2 ⇒ 3.
  • Poison turns have been increased 2 ⇒ 3.
  • STA cost has been increased from 22 ⇒ 26.
  • STA drain has been increased from 25% ⇒ 35% of target(s) maximum STA. 

• Refresh
  • HP recovery has been increased from 6% ⇒ 10%.

• Refreshing Breeze
  • STA cost has been increased 22 ⇒ 26.

•  Refreshing Breeze +
  • Targeting has been changed from Single Target ⇒ Single Team.
  • Priority has been reduced from Very High ⇒ Low. 
  • STA cost has been increased 22 ⇒ 26.
  • New description and effect read as follows: If used with a Nature ally, gifts the whole team +3 SPDEF without removing status conditions.
  • The game has been lacking techniques that could buff SPDEF for quite some time now. When we decided to rework this technique, it felt like the right call to make it a “special” Bark Shield with synergy, especially since this technique was already interacting with SPDEF but seeing close to no use.

• Sandstorm
  • Damage has been reduced 80 ⇒ 70.
  • New effect: Inflicts the Isolation Condition for 2 turns to both targets.

• Smoldering Kiss
  • Damage has been increased 50 ⇒ 61.
  • STA cost has been increased 9 ⇒ 12.
  • This is a simple change to reduce Tyranak’s hitting power with Slingshot.

  • Hold turns have been reduced 4 ⇒ 3.

• Untangle
  • SPDEF Stage modifications have been increased from +1 ⇒ +2.

• Venomous claws
  • Priority has been reduced High ⇒ Normal.
  • Stamina cost has been reduced from 9 ⇒ 7.

• Wastewater
  • Damage has been reduced 90 ⇒ 80.
  • STA cost has been reduced 29 ⇒ 27.

 

Traits

• New Trait: Dispersion
  • Trait description and effect: +20% damage inflicted with damaging, multi-target Techniques.

•  Heat Discharge
  • Burn turns have been reduced from 3 ⇒ 2.
  • The Burn ticks now are now applied to both rivals.
  • When knocked out, both rivals get the Burned Status Condition for 2 turns.

•  Ruminant
  • Previous effects no longer work.
  • New effect: When hit by an enemy Nature technique, damage is reduced by 50% and receives +1 ATK.
  • The intended thought process behind this change was to give Minothor a trait that is almost as good as the Rusher trait is. After reading feedback from the players when Ruminant was first leaked, we decided to wait and see how this trait performs before applying any further changes to it, but we will monitor it closely and add extra changes if it turns out to be too weak.

• Confined
  • It now triggers each time Tortenite gets trapped, not only when the attacker traps itself.
  • New description: When getting the Trapped status condition, gets +1 DEF and +1 SPDEF.  

• Motivator
  • STA regeneration increased from 10% to 15%.

• Natural Conversion
  • Damage reduction from Nature techniques has been removed.
  • The whole description now reads as follows: While using any other non-Nature type technique, deal 25% more damage.

• Safe Retreat
  • Removed the once-per-battle condition.
  • Regenerating turns have been reduced from 2 ⇒ 1.
  • The whole description now reads as follows: When leaving the battlefield, the Temtem receives 1 turn of Regenerating.

• Seismic
  • Damage has been increased from 7% ⇒ 10%.

 

Gears

• New Gear: Cable Link
  • If the holder takes part in a synergy technique, both the holder and the ally regain 10% of their max Stamina.
  • So far we had no Gear that interacted with one of Temtem’s unique game mechanics, synergies. After multiple tests, we feel like this gear is way stronger than other Stamina gears in the right team compositions, while it’s weaker than these same gears when not used correctly. We cannot wait to see how creative you’ll get with this gear.

• New Gear: Haz’trap
  • When knocked out, the attacker gets Trapped for 2 turns.
  • The gear is revealed at the beginning of the turn.
  • We have been receiving feedback for some time about how oppressive the opponent’s leads can be, even from the picks and bans phase, and how in many occasions the first two turns’ offsets have too much weight in the game. With the design of Haz’trap we want to make it easier to look for an even exchange in the early stages of the game, even being able to trap the opponent’s key Tem, and aim to weaken it in the next turn. This gear will be revealed at the beginning of the turn, so both players will have to prepare their move around it, and further assess the range of possibilities and how the field situation may change in the next turn. During scrims we saw that any fragile and fast Tem is a good holder of this gear, but we are looking forward to see what strategies come out around it.

• New Gear: Power Bank
  • Offensive techniques gain a 6.5% damage boost per hold.
  • Similar to Cable Link, we like gears that interact with Temtem’s unique mechanics. Hold is another one of these, and testing showed this gear played well. We found lots of Temtem that benefit from this gear (more than just Turoc!), and even discovered some new builds that it enables. We think that Power Bank is especially relevant and interesting for special attackers, as some of these tems, depending on their type, were lacking a damage-boosting gear. One of the users that surprised us the most during the scrims was Oceara, fitting perfectly with its Hurry-Wart trait. We’re eager to see players cook up ideas we missed in the testing phase!

•  Adrenaline Shot
  • Previous effects no longer work.
  • Once per battle, when the holder would lose a turn by cause of Overexertion because of lack of STA, the turn penalty is prevented.

• Hopeless Tonic
  • Previous effects no longer work.
  • Once per battle, if the Temtem is the last ally standing, it gets the Evading and Invigorated Status Conditions for 2 turns, and gets +2 SPD.
  • This gear never really shone since its release, and its description was already way too complicated for us to add any more effects to it. Instead, we decided to completely change its effect while keeping the initial intentions of the gear. Pairing Evasion and the Invigorated status effect, as well as giving +2 SPD to the user, allows it to handle 1 vs 2 situations more easily, while not being a game-breaking gear if the player manages to pull it off.

• Redirection device
  • Previous effects no longer work.
  • Renamed to “Proxy Kit” due to the new effects of the gear.
  • When the ally is targeted by a Digital technique, damage is reduced by 50%.
  • The gear is now revealed at the beginning of the turn.
  • This gear gave us many headaches in terms of balancing. First, it was too match-up dependent, then it saw close to no play after its latest change in 1.4. With these changes we hope to see this gear back in play in specific teams that accumulate digital weaknesses. We hope it won’t be as frustrating to deal with as its previous version for digital Temtem players. Moreover, this new behavior of the gear allows players to have a way to somehow resist Digital Techniques, which was a common request from the community.

• Building Blocks
  • Turns to trigger have been reduced from 3 ⇒ 2. 

• Straw Shield
  • The holder needs to stay on the field for at least 2 consecutive turns for the effect to be able to trigger.
  • Straw Shield has definitely been one of the most used gear of patch 1.6.2 because of how strong it was. While we are very happy with the percentage of use of the gear, we felt that, because it required no set up from the players, the gear allowed for too many openers and could make a good pick & ban selection worthless for the player who did not run this gear. This change, while being simple, allows for more counter play from the opponent and requires more thought process from the player.
