Hey everyone!

We’ve just rolled out another update for Pack Tactics, and this one’s packed with new art, tighter balance, and some sparkle for the egg-lovers out there. Let’s dig in:

🎨 Visual Updates

🐢 Hatchling – This little squirt has a unique look that better matches its aquatic nature. Now you’ll recognize it instantly as a creature of the shallows.

🦛 Hippo Calf – Formerly just “Hippo,” this card now features new art showing it playfully interacting with birds. Its smaller size reflects its new statline as a 3/3.

🐠 Koi → Coral Reef – A full transformation! Koi has been renamed Coral Reef, with brand new artwork and a fresh ability to match (see below).

⚙️ Ability & Stat Updates

🐾 Beasts

• Hippo Calf: Down from 7/7 to 3/3 – it still has one of the strongest abilities in the game, but now there’s a real tradeoff.

• Hyena: Moved from Silver to Bronze – no longer just a “worse Vulture,” it's new rarity gives it a bit more potential in different ecosystems.

• Wolverine: Upgraded from Bronze to Silver, and from 2/2 to 4/4 – now its ability is much easier to trigger multiple times.

• Rhino: Buffed from 4/4 to 6/6 – a bit more punch to fit its weight class.

🕊 Winged

• Hummingbird & Pigeon: Swapped abilities! Now their effects better reflect their real-world behaviors. (Spoiler: Hummingbirds are not pest-hunters.)

🐍 Scaled

• Egg & Shiny Egg: Now transform when crowned instead of dethroned – so they will have a quicker impact on the battle.

• Axolotl: From 3/3 to 3/4

• Alligator: From 3/4 to 5/3 – more bite!

🌊 Aquatic

• Coral Reef (formerly Koi): Now adds a Bronze Animal for each aquatic in your den. Flood the board!

• Trout: Now makes your other aquatics hunt pests – a great combo setup.

🐛 Pest

• Dung Beetle: Now triggers when anything is hunted, not just pests – more chances to shine (or stink).

💠 New Additions

🌟 Two New Sapphire Animals These rare creatures can now be discovered by hatching a Shiny Egg. What are they? We’ll let you find out.

🛠 Usability Improvements

• 📘 Tutorial Button is now more prominent – easier to find for new players.

• 🗂 Deck Viewer now has a header.

• ✏️ More UI improvements are in the works, but they take a bit longer than gameplay design.

That’s it for this update! We’re still actively watching your feedback and excited to keep improving Pack Tactics. Keep posting your favorite builds, bug reports, and wild plays — and don’t forget to check those Shiny Eggs. 🥚✨
