v1.11.0 Balancing Notes

High Roller

Over time, we realized that even though the High Roller battle was marketed to appeal to all levels of players, mechanics-wise, High Roller is not actually a very new player friendly battle. From this year on, we're changing the description of the battle to better reflect our new intention of the battle.

  • Approaching the High Roller Sigil with a level 19 or below Toon will now warn the player that the battle is recommended for Toons who have a grasp on the basics of Corporate Clash's battle system.

    • After confirming the message, the player can proceed with the battle as normal.

  • To keep High Roller experiences less volatile, the golden 6-Pip die now grants the user 100% accuracy for the entire battle.

  • 2-Pip die now gives the user a 1-round damage reduction buff, with the damage reduction value chosen randomly between 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, and 25%. Using this die again in the same round will reroll the damage reduction value and does not increase the duration of the effect.

Phase 1

  • Several trivia questions have been changed, others have been removed, and new questions have also been added. Overall, there are now less trivia questions about obscure knowledge.

Phase 2

  • To make the Raise the Ante damage multiplier have more impact in Phase 3, some numbers adjustments were made for Phase 2 and 3.
    • Phase 2 duration: 5 rounds -> 4 rounds

Phase 3

  • High Roller's Phase 3 HP: 44,444 -> 77,777
  • Silhouette Base HP: 9,000 -> 12,000
  • Silhouette HP reduction in subsequent sets: 2,000 -> 3,000
  • Minimum Silhouette HP: 3,000
  • Raise the Ante damage multiplier: 10x + 0.04% defeated Mr. Hollywoods' health -> 15x + 0.12% defeated Mr. Hollywoods' health

Pip farming has been an incredibly contentious strategy for as long as High Roller has graced us with his presence. We're introducing a new mechanic to discourage the stalling aspect of the strategy, but leaving the door open for another method of amassing Pips that may be equally as easy to understand while being more engaging.

  • In Phase 3 only, every round, High Roller can use a new ability called 'Bust' on Toons with over 21 Pips. This reduces their Pips to 21 and deals damage equal to 15 times the number of Pips lost. This ability happens after all players have locked in their choices.

Face The Family

At the end of last year, Face the Family was in a pretty stable balance state, so this year, our goal is simply to fine-tune it.

Last year, Zap was still a little too strong in Face the Family. A similar statement could also be made about Zap's balance state in other areas of the game, but with limited scope in mind, we're taking the approach of giving modest buffs to the base health of most managers in Face the Family instead.

  • Increased the base health of most managers in H.U.O.F.T.F. by 100 (which would be around 90 in Standard O.F.T.F.).
  • Chance for Cog to be Unstable: 15% in Standard O.F.T.F./25% in H.U.O.F.T.F. -> 20% in Standard O.F.T.F./30% in H.U.O.F.T.F.
  • Unstable Cog health multiplier: 2x -> 1.5x

We realized Sniper was over-nerfed last year, so now he's getting some of his firepower back.

  • Sniper Factory Foreman ability damage: 0.5x original attack's damage -> 0.75x original attack's damage
  • Rewrote most Face the Family managers' haikus in their corresponding status effects so they are generally better at hinting at or reminding players of their abilities.

Other Balancing Notes

We've been leaving balance in permanent content alone for a while, but we're making an exception here because of how important of an impression these early taskline managers have on new players.

  • Derrick Man's max health: 100 -> 175
  • Refinement's overheal cap: 10% -> 25%
  • Land Acquisition Architect's max health: 275 -> 350
  • Public Relations Representative's health range has been increased: 575-625 -> 875-925

Loot

After some discussion, we've decided to release the rest of the manager loot drop rate information and provide tables containing probabilities per win to the official Corporate Clash wiki. They can be found here: https://corporateclash.wiki.gg/wiki/Loot
