PVP Balance Pass — Levels 5 & 10
All 19 species received comprehensive base stat adjustments to improve competitive balance at levels 5 and 10. HP, damage, exploit bonuses, and special effect values were recalibrated across the full roster.
This pass targets the early and mid-game competitive meta. Every species was tested in same-level matchups at Level 5 and Level 10 using the PVP simulation tool, then tuned to narrow the win-rate spread across the roster.
What changed across the roster
- DoT species (Bireon, Hotpaw, Kobu, Drago, Pikoto, Ray) — higher exploit bonuses and stronger DoT ticks. Recover heal lowered to 19 to reduce draw rates and increase effective win rates at L10.
- Shield species (Yeti, Pinky, Pefareon, Fernail, Gorly) — significantly stronger magic shield values and higher recover heal. These species now sustain meaningfully longer under pressure.
- Execute species (Toro, Talion) — Toro's base stats overhauled to match its Legendary identity. Talion gets higher attack damage and a stronger execute threshold.
- Wound species (Zaricat, Suimon, Sumiya) — higher base attack, exploit, and magic damage to make the wound payoff more impactful.
- Stun species (Aqua, Voltaryx, Trixon) — large HP and damage increases; all three were significantly undertuned at L5 compared to the rest of the roster.
No archetype identity was changed
Every species retained its archetype (DoT, Shield, Stun, Wound, Execute) and the same skill names. This pass adjusted numbers only — how hard skills hit and how much they heal, not how they work.
