Details of the Axie Infinity Origin Updates
To enable this upgrade, the game will be closed by 3 AM EST on the 27th of May 2022. According to Axie Infinity, majority of this update will focus on fixing bugs within the Origin ecosystem. The dev team recognizes that there is need for card balancing and will focus on doing so.
Speaking of card adjustments, there will be quite. For example, Nimo will now heal 40 HP instead of 36. Instead of this Axie gaining 1 Energy it will Target any ally and employ the Banish boost . Furthermore, Koi will now deal 95 damage instead of 110. In similar fashion, Topaz will now deal 5 damage instead of 25. Wall Geck will now cause an Axie to lose 50 HP and take 30% damage for 4 turns.
As for the Runes, there will not be much changes. It only involve the Endless Rage, where users will gain 2 rage when their turn starts. It now grants 3 bonus damage when in use. The reason is to update the description to match the intention behind this Rune.
Charms on the other hand are equally experiencing a overhaul in terms of effect. The reason is that Banish and Ethereal are often positive effects. As such, there is no need in using them to increase a card’s value. Another reason for these changes is to ensure that the description of these assets matches their in-game effect.
