Greetings House Leaders,

A new update has arrived! Read on to learn more about some recent changes to Game of Thrones: Legends that you’ll find in the November 18th update.

New

New Campaign Chapters: Bring your Champions beyond the Narrow Sea, to Essos, land of the Free Cities! Explore the rolling grasslands and rugged hills, home to the Dothraki, Lhazareen, and Pentoshi peoples.

• Chapters 32 - 36: The Dothraki are quick to fight, but also fiercely loyal. Aid them in their adventurous exploits and bloody raids. The Khaleesi awaits!
• Chapters 37 - 38: Join Jorah Mormont and face a slew of Pentoshi bounty hunters in the Great Grass Sea, come to collect their due.
• Chapters 39 - 40: Join the Dothraki in delivering justice to the conniving Viserys within their camp in Vaes Dothrak.

Raids Tuning Update

We've made adjustments to the post-battle Trophy calculation system to improve balance and strategy. Here’s a summary of the key changes:

Max Trophy Limit: The maximum number of Trophies you can earn or lose from a single Raid is now capped at 40.

• Trophy-Based Scaling: Previously, the number of Trophies you could earn or lose was based on the Might difference between you and your opponent. We've shifted this to be based on the Trophy difference instead. This change encourages more strategic attacks of higher-ranked players and reduces the incentive to target lower-ranked players on the Leaderboard.
  
  
• Tier-based Trophy Scaling: We’ve rebalanced the scaling for how many Trophies you can earn or lose when battling opponents. The amount of Trophies you can gain or lose from an attack will gradually increase as you progress from early tiers (Bronze 3) to the more competitive tiers (Gold and Iron Throne).
  
  
• Opponents Tab Adjustments: The opponents you encounter in the “Opponents” tab will now be more consistent. We’ve replaced the previous random selection with a logic that surfaces opponents primarily from your own tier, followed by players from adjacent lower and higher tiers.

These changes aim to create a more balanced and strategic Trophy progression system. We are continually monitoring the Raids feature to make sure it remains competitive and rewarding for all players. We have some exciting changes in mind for the future and can't wait until they're ready to share with you all.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed Legendary Trial notification text issues.
• Replaced previously-rewarded placeholder gear items that were unable to be upgraded.

Coming Soon

We’re working on some tuning changes for an upcoming release that are sure to put The Greens on the map.

The Greens BIRTHRIGHT Buff: The rightful rulers are coming!

No longer will Alicent Hightower, Aemond Targaryen, and Otto Hightower find themselves fighting alone on the battlefield. More members of their faction, The Greens, are coming.

In preparation for the arrival of new Greens Champions, we have evaluated the play style of these Champions, and you will soon notice some changes to their gameplay.

The Greens use their unique keyword BIRTHRIGHT to secure themselves an early advantage in combat, but their power weakens as the battle goes on, and their BIRTHRIGHT reduces. With new members of the faction arriving, we’ll be pushing their gameplay towards their identity.

The Greens’ early combat power will increase, helping them secure an insurmountable lead, but their ability to maintain BIRTHRIGHT will become more difficult, so those who fail to “claim their birthright” and take advantage, will be left wanting.

The BIRTHRIGHT Buff will become much stronger, making all Greens Champions do more damage on average, while the Greens’ Faction Bonus is being reduced, making it important to utilize BIRTHRIGHT early. All things considered, this is a buff to the Greens.

Alicent Hightower (The Green Queen) will retain her role as a supportive buffer, with her Skill, You Are The Challenge! continuing to ensure her allies will never strike without BIRTHRIGHT. But with the addition of more Greens to support her, we are reducing some of her supportive effects. She will grant less BIRTHRIGHT overall, some of her effects will be weaker, but to compensate, her HEALING will scale with ATK instead of Max HP, allowing her to utilize Buffs. The buff to BIRTHRIGHT will also increase her damage.

Aemond Targaryen will lose some of his supportive effects to embrace his intended role as a damage dealer. Expect his damage values to increase in addition to the effect of the BIRTHRIGHT buff, resulting in substantially more damage from him. In exchange, his passive abilities to grant BIRTHRIGHT will be reduced.

Otto Hightower will retain his role ensuring his Greens allies maximize their early combat advantage. With the additional Greens Champions coming online to benefit from his effects, we are reducing some of the potency of his effects. He will benefit from the BIRTHRIGHT buff’s damage increase, and has received some tuning to his upgrades to help him perform better at lower Star Ranks, while a new upgrade to his Leader Trait will remove his drawbacks.

Other Champion Tuning To Expect

We have detected a bug which caused Roose Bolton to occasionally REMOVE more Buffs than was intended with his passive ability. This bug should be fixed soon, and Roose’s abilities should behave as per their description. We apologize to anyone who has been negatively impacted by this, especially any Starks. Roose sends his regards.
