Though last month’s balance update made the Goff Orks more playable, this month’s focus is on making them krumpier than ever, including even a change to Unstable! Together with these changes, Hive Fleet Leviathan’s least played cards receive some much needed attention as it prepares to devour its next victim! That victim might just be their very own followers, whose more frustrating play patterns are being hampered.
This update will go live soon. Check out the full list of changes below.
