Ever since last month’s balance update, Sylar Hexscorn has been hexing and scorning all the way to the top of the ranked ladder. This month we rein him in while giving some attention to factions that have been unattended for a little bit of time.
The Goff Orks and the Astra Militarum receive a wide variety of updates, mostly focused on tweaking their stat lines. These changes are not yet in the game and will be coming tomorrow, 6th February. Stay tuned for more info!
