#BizarreCircus Patch Notes

Maintenance - November 16

In this one, we’re fixing some bugs and making improvements to Legendary Starr Drops!

  • Legendary Starr Drops will no longer give Gadgets, Pins, Sprays, or Profile Icons. These will move to Mythic Starr Drops only

  • Now, Legendary Starr Drops will only contain Star Powers, Hypercharges, Brawlers of Epic to Legendary rarities, and Super Rare and Epic Skins

  • You can still get resources from Legendary Starr Drops, but only if they are fallback rewards

  • To be able to make this change without increasing the total reward distribution we had to rebalance resources in other rarities, so Coins and Token Doublers were slightly nerfed, but

  • Gadgets, Star Powers, and Hypercharges probabilities got increased

  • Fixed an issue where some top contributors in the Mega Pig Club event were receiving double the Starr Drops than supposed

And in case you were wondering, we haven't decreased the chances of getting a Legendary Starr Drop as a result of all these changes!


Maintenance - November 9

  • Fixed an issue where players could still pick banned Brawlers in Power League

  • Fixed an issue where new players would lose Coins when autocreating a Club after unlocking this feature in the Trophy Road

  • Fixed an issue in Duo Showdown where players would spawn next to opponents on certain maps

  • Cocoons now deal damage or healing at the start of the instance rather than at the end

  • Fixed an issue where other types of damage over time would continue to have effect while inside a cocoon

  • Balance changes for Charlie:

    • Reduced cocoon duration from 10 → 7s

    • Star Power - Digestive - Reduced max HP damage from 50 → 25%

    • You now keep the same ammo after getting out of a cocoon that you had when entering

Optional Update (Android) - November 2

A new optional update is available for Android devices. Make sure to download it from the Google Play store to apply the following fix:

  • Fixed an issue that was causing a crash when entering the Shop

Maintenance - October 27

  • Fixed the issue with some Star Powers and Gadgets crashing the game

Titles

  • The Amazing (Charlie)

Balance Changes

Buffs

  • Gears

    • Pet power - Increased power 20 → 25%

      • Pet power has underperformed in comparison to normal damage gear. They should be more in line for brawlers that can utilize both, so this is one step towards that.

    • Sandy - Exhausting storm - Increased damage reduction effect 10 → 20% 

      • Now, even sandier!

    • Shield - Increased health 600 → 900

      • Shield is the only element that will not be affected by the % revamp. Making it % based would flip it from being great on squishy brawlers to great on tanky brawlers instead - which is not something we want.

    • Leon - Lingering smoke - Increased duration 1 → 2s

      • One second is all it takes - getting a takedown for me, possibilities...

  • Doug

    • Increased Super range 20 → 28

    • Increased Super width 50 → 200

      • Now, why would anyone want to miss out on the tastiest of hotdogs? This should allow Doug to properly use his super on teammates when he's full himself!


Nerfs

  • Gears

    • Speed - Decreased movement speed 20 → 15%

      • Welcome to the jungle - but slower.

  • Crow

    • Gadget - Slowing toxin - Decreased duration 3 → 2s

      • Gadget gear gave Crow a bit too much control, so tuning some of it down

  • Chuck

    • Chuck doesn't have his Super Charged after respawning (so it prevents him from using his Super while still invincible).

      • The train will be slightly delayed

  • Shelly

    • Decreased Super charge from Super 112 → 60

      • ANOTHA ONE - she's been too good simply at chaining supers off of supers.

  • Gus

    • Gadget - Kooky Popper - Removed knockback effect

      • With the combo of knocking back enemies + using the main attack, it allowed Gus, a support Brawler, to become a friggin' assassin.

  • Pearl

    • Gadget - Overcooked - Decreased extra damage 60 → 40%

      • Who let Pearl cook to this extent? It couldn't be me

  • Squeak

    • Gadget - Residue duration - Decreased duration 8 → 6s

      • Same as Crow's

  • Fang

    • Main attack - Reduced damage 1400 → 1360

      • Fang has been really strong lately, thanks to his Super charge buff + damage. While we want to keep him high risk-high reward, reducing his burst allows more brawlers to fight him even when he does come up to you

  • Buster

    • Main attack - Reduced damage 1440 → 1400

      • Buster, much like Fang, also saw a resurgence due to his stats being increased. This, along with the gadget gear for slo-mo replay, has made him a tad too strong - but the first step is to tune his overall stats down a little.

Club League Changes

  • Both League weeks and Quest weeks have been removed

  • Club Shop is removed, and unused Club Coins will be converted to Coins & Power Points: 

    • Half will be converted to Power Points, and the other half will be converted to Coins


New Club Event: MEGA PIG

New monthly event replacing Club League! 

  • Fill the MEGA PIG to smash it open at the end of the event and get loads of rewards!

  • At the start of each monthly event, all Club Members receive 18 Tickets that they can use to play matches

  • Every win will fill up the MEGA PIG with Coins, Power Points, Bling, and Starr Drops that will be distributed to all Club members at the end of the event

  • Reaching each MEGA PIG milestone increases the amount of rewards you receive

  • The more you fill the MEGA PIG, the more rewards you get! So, being in a full and active Club highly increases your chances of completely filling the MEGA PIG

Rewards!

  • The rewards are always divided by how many members you have in your Club

    • There's a cap on the maximum rewards you can get if you manage to fill the MEGA PIG with fewer members

    • This allows smaller clubs to also get the benefit of the event, but it prevents the system from being exploited if you have fewer members

  • To be eligible for the rewards, you need to win at least one game


MEGA PIG Games

Together with the MEGA PIG event we’re introducing a new format featuring random game modes, maps and (new) modifiers!


The new modifiers are:

  • Super Bushy

  • The match starts with normal bushes, then the bushes start spreading in random directions every second

  • Instant Overtime

  • All objects disappear from the map (including unbreakable walls)

  • Unlimited Power

  • On death, Brawlers spawn a Power Cube that any Brawler can pick up

  • Classic

    • Just a good old match without any modifiers


Games during the MEGA PIG event feature a simplified Ranked format:

  • No ban phase

  • No preparation phase

  • Synchronous pick-phase for both teams (blind)

  • Duplicates in the enemy team allowed


Our goal for this change was to improve the time it takes to get to matches while still allowing you to pick the best composition for the map, mode, and modifier.


Bye Club League Calendars Event!

After the update releases, there will be a 25-day login calendar to welcome the MEGA PIG into the game and to compensate somewhat for the reduced total rewards, counting down the days until the 1st MEGA PIG event starts!


The calendar features Starr Drops, new Pins and the last rewards depends on your highest-ever Club League Tier: 

  • No Club, Bronze, Silver & Gold Epic Starr Drop

  • Diamond, Mythic = Mythic Star Drop

  • Legendary & MASTERS - Legendary Starr Drop on the last day
