Hey Pack Leaders,

We’ve just rolled out a new update featuring improved matchmaking, the beginnings of multi-faction support, and some long-requested visual and balance changes to make battles smoother and more strategic. Here's everything that's new:

🔄 Smarter Matchmaking

You’ll now be matched based on both your round number and your number of wins. This should lead to fairer matchups and a better sense of progression through each run. 💪

🧬 Multi-Faction Support Begins

We're introducing early support for multi-faction cards, with more content planned around this feature in the future:

• 🥚 Shiny Egg is now considered part of all five factions, making it easier to hatch and enabling broader synergy.

• 🐣 Hatchling is now both Aquatic and Mire, giving it new flexibility in deck builds.

🐾 Ability Changes & Balance Tweaks

• 🦈 Megalodon – Now causes Aquatic animals to hunt ALL Bronze critters, not just pests.

• 🐛 Giant Centipede – Now affects Swarm animals played after it enters play, rather than retroactively.

• 🦑 Giant Squid – Courage buff increased: +3 instead of +2.

• 🐦 Plover – Now only returns to your deck when Mire animals are crowned, making timing more important.

• 🦌 Stag – Moved from Gold ➜ Silver, and now starts as a 1/1 instead of 2/2.

🎨 Visual & Animation Improvements

• 🔔 Buff Visuals! – When an ability buffs another animal, it now has a clear visual indicator to improve readability.

• ⏩ Faster Attack Animations – Especially in crowded scenes, attacks now move more quickly, keeping the pace up in late-game turns.

That’s it for this update! Let us know what new combos you’re finding with Shiny Eggs, multi-faction builds, and the Megalodon meta 😈

As always, thank you for playing, sharing your feedback, and being part of the Pack Tactics community.
