The forces of chaos rise in a new balance update

The first season after the Dark Angels struck the battlefields of Warhammer 40,000: Warpforge ended with two very clear contenders for the top of the ranks. The Adepta Sororitas have been a very consistent powerhouse ever since their latest changes, while the new Dark Angels have entered the meta with a vengeance. These changes are not yet in the game and will be coming in the next update. Stay tuned for more info!

It is still very early to apply drastic changes, so this update aims to slightly hinder the most lethal Warlords of the Adepta Sororitas and the staying power of very popular Dark Angels troops. At the same time, we are giving a boost to many of the least fortunate factions in December’s meta, focusing on making some Legendary cards become better pay-offs and adjusting a handful of Defence cards.
