Power Tank, loot range, and other adjustments in the Squad Busters balance changes

If you’ve used the Power Tank recently, you probably noticed how easily it could stunlock an enemy Hero with the right Traits and Powers. While that might’ve felt great for you, it wasn’t fun for anyone on the receiving end.

This update fixes that by reducing the Power Tank’s base Attack Speed boost from 35% to just 5% and completely removing the knockback effect from both Power Tank and Tank attacks. You’ll still get solid frontline muscle, but without the unfair lockdowns.

Meanwhile, the loot pickup range has been increased by 15% in the latest Squad Busters balance changes to help struggling squads gather nearby loot. Now you won’t have to circle awkwardly around Coins, Hearts, and Gems mid-battle. Just move close to collect them.

Furthermore, the effect of slowed-down movement after taking damage has been reduced in both amount and duration. It’s still important for balancing escapes and chasing, but this fix makes moving and attacking feel smoother after getting hit.

Several annoying issues have also been patched:

• Mortis’ Monster Charge IV now summons the correct number of Bats.
• Super Sonic battle completions now properly count toward quests.
• Mega Crabs and Royal Recruits' summon limits have been introduced to prevent overloading matches.
• The loot drops of Mega Crabs and Royal Recruits have been temporarily removed as part of the latest Squad Busters balance changes, but will return in a future update.
• Cookie Goblin will no longer jumpscare you mid-match.
