▶ Developer Announcement

Hello everyone, this is Gon, the Game Design Director.

▶ Balance Update Highlights

● White Feather Clan / White Feather Storm

Based on match data across many games, the synergy between White Feather Clan and Shuriken has been performing exceptionally well across the board — and it has forced many cards in the meta to have their sturdiness raised.

We're adjusting Shuriken to cost energy so it slows down a bit, and giving White Feather Storm a small buff so it sees more play.

● Casting Mold

The most compelling moments in Grid Tactics: Duel come from positional choices and disruption. This new card is designed to give the meta more early-game board-placement mind games.
