Welcome to the Invokation Akademy Review Session, where I go over all the changes to GITCG from the latest update, and give you my first impressions to get you better prepared for the new metagame.
Well in a surprising twist after one week of Version 4.6, we have our first ever mid-patch balance change, with Underwater Treasure Hunt increased from 1 to 2 aligned cost, and Yelan's burst being reduced from 2 to do only 1 DMG for each Exquisite Throw, and an increase on the initial hit from 1 to 3 DMG to (not quite) compensate for that loss.
Treasure Hunt decks were slowly being figured out, and it seems the devs didn't want a repeat of the Jeht patch, and went ahead and adjusted it right away. The Yelan change too was a long time coming - and it is likely the Yayoi nerf didn't do it's intended job of shutting down Magic/Gilded decks - Yelan OTK being the most dominant - and so they decided to adjust her similar to XQ.
In this video, we'll go over the balance changes and their implications for both the Prince Cup, and the upcoming metagame.

Quick amendment to some stuff in the video! Treasure hunt is +6 healing, not +5 - accidentally carried forward a dice error. Yelan's combo is SKILL / NA / NA, (not NA skill NA). Also I forgot to mention the second NA should be on the next round. Thanks to MrPillow in GITCG server pointing these errors out! I guess I made this too fast haha.

@Senorgato029 Месяц назад

The breaking news bit was hilarious, also I think instead of doing sudden no announcement changes they should adopt a mid patch balance change model to fix things that are particularly bad without it being a whole patch until it’s fixed but not so sudden that it throws tournament things out of wack not to mention it gives them the second half of the patch to see if the changes did anything meaningful *cougn cough* gilded *cough cough*

@2qbx Месяц назад

Seconding this. Kinda weird that balance changes are tied to the regular release schedule, which is probably too sparse, but having a hotfix coming out of nowhere was also not good. Mid-patch balance changes feels sane enough. Though, the way they currently handle things cause the cards to be changed mid-match for matches happening in the middle of the hotfix, so I think they will have to sort that out first.

@Juju_Invokation Месяц назад

This should be a new thing the broadcast bit was so funny, although I doubt any changes like this will shock the community as much it'd be a fun thing to do otherwise

@blepthecat Месяц назад

Hehe glad you liked it!

@ChewyFlyer Месяц назад

I'm honestly very glad that we won't have to wait for 2 months to have these cards nerfed, they were obviously op and I really didn't want another jeht with yelan otk They should really playtest more tho, these flagrant issues should not make it to the live version

@ChewyFlyer Месяц назад

I also don't understand why yelan was 2 DMG per coordinated attack when every other 2 [rounds] uses character is 1 dmg

@DungNguyen-xk8ss Месяц назад

Honestly yeah, it seems like they do not put tcg on beta test for beta tester (might be because not easy to find beta testers willing to play tcg) so it’s much harder for them to balance things

@blepthecat Месяц назад

It's pretty good for watchability of the upcoming tournament scene for sure

@dorianmckinney7496 Месяц назад

I was actually thinking the same thing. Burst aside, Yelan is still pretty nice since she's able to draw cards on demand. They didnt touch her talent card either, so extra dice if you run that. Also... "Where did my Yelan decks go??" Hilarious.

@blepthecat Месяц назад

Haha Lia was in charge of the news segment so they were the ones to think of that idea! And yes I agree Yelan is still a great character choice for some decks, though I think it's too much of a hit competitively (reminding me of Itto)

@cornelio78 Месяц назад

@blepthecat Месяц назад

@Schmedricks Месяц назад

lol I hadn't even gotten the chance to try out Treasure Hunt. I'll never experience what alleged craziness it was causing lol

@blepthecat Месяц назад

Ahh well it functions the same, just is a bit harder to play. Still try it out for sure

@ClaustroPasta Месяц назад

As someone who managed to try it out first day and spend 2 long days refining my deck for it, I can say life was not the same anymore... Made me happy to play TCG again in a long while (since Gambler and Yoimiya nerf). IT WAS FUN AGAIN!!! that one minor dice change really changes everything. Would've preferred if it was 2 black dice cost instead of white if theyre going to nerf...

@blepthecat Месяц назад

@@ClaustroPasta Yes definitely a fun card! I can see it going to 2 unaligned and not being too broken. Hopefully we see it as a later adjustment when they think it's safe

@thedoc1061 Месяц назад

I didn’t think they’d do any emergency balances. I didn’t really use Yelan so I’m not too upset!

@blepthecat Месяц назад

It surprised everyone for sure

@moonlightnightisalright2088 Месяц назад

im surprised they nerfed these but didn't add an upper limit to crab, I imagine in the future they will cap it around 100. I imagine they implemented the hotfix because of too much early sinergy between the two cards but i honestly have only really seen crab decs this meta

@blepthecat Месяц назад

An upper limit isn't too relevant for PvP since realistically you shouldn't be letting opponents stack that high, but a cap would remove the neat screenshots we get to see heh

@Emu_otori1111 Месяц назад

its so funny to think Hoyoverse saw the games snd was like. 😨 time to change it!

@szupixx Месяц назад

I’m so glad I had a chance to play old treasure yelan… ok so when another abnormously good deck drops.

@blepthecat Месяц назад

We'll find out soon with Prince Cup matches starting. But it usually takes a few weeks for the "best" deck of the meta to emerge

@PRO100SashaX Месяц назад

It's funny how very much broken magic and hypermagic being nerfed via regular updates (and both taking more that one patch to fix) all the while these 2 sudden fixes are out of nowhere, one for a new card no less, with little to no use data. My only guess is that these changes are meant to be in the version but somehow were missed.

@blepthecat Месяц назад

No I think the data came from the CN tournament scene which tends to break things much faster than we do. It's very likely they assumed the Yayoi/Seed change would be enough to tone down Yelan but it turns out it's just raw character power backed by also good cards

@blankuhaku12 Месяц назад

Yes i agree with the treasure hunt nerfed. It's annoying with the +1 heal spam.

Uhhh who knows! I mostly just took Lisa's costume since I thought it was cooler than NPC Sumeru costumes haha. There's no deeper meaning (for now)

@CoolGrovyle Месяц назад

@@blepthecat Oh yeah .... that is... why originally wrote Spantamad (Lisa is Spantamad), but then when I was fact-checking it, I realised that Spantamad should have red gem on their hats :D Blue gems are worn by Rtawahist students :D Thus Lisa's gem on hat does not represent her Darshan :D (Or it is oversight :D )

@younitor4998 Месяц назад

I'm shocked. Nerfs so soon... I don't think Elan's burst is a huge problem. And now it looks useless. I thought they nerf crab, it much more powerful.

@blepthecat Месяц назад

These changes are mostly aimed at competitive play mostly, and there Crab is doing ok but not great. It's definitely very hard for newer players to deal with. The less efficient your decks are, the harder time they have with crab usually

@faey69 Месяц назад

its OP. Compare her with Yoimiya. They do similar things yet Yelan can draw 2 cards, deal so much Hydro dmg early on, and 2dmg per basic atk for 2 full rounds. Too much value

they be nerfing good cards and ignoring new crab character with no shield limit and someone did 250 dmg with its burst💀

That does require help from you opponent though, 250 is not achievable in a normal game heh

@Syokool Месяц назад

Good riddance, now nerf Lyra as well.

@jeremiahsmith916 Месяц назад

I stay convinced that they should introduce some deckbuilding restrictions for cards like Lyre/Unseen Razor/Boar Princess + Gilded-like dice printers. Something like “only one type of ‘forcefully discard equipment’ is allowed per deck, not all of them at once”. Or even "these cards cannot be added to a deck where dice generating artifacts already exist". Like, pick one, either a significant discount on 3-cost equipment OR free 2 dice. No restrictions on playing all of that at once feels a bit excessive to me.

@blepthecat Месяц назад

Would definitely would like to see more restricted cards like the Resonance cards. It definitely would produce more variety in deckbuilding

@LunaSuzuyaTCG Месяц назад

I really wonder, if they don’t test the cards correctly before releasing them or what’s going on there. I mean, the Jeht nerf took way too long but for the new shell card, they do an emergency patch? I’m a lil bit confused.. maybe Hoyoverse needs some TCG RU-vidr in the team to test new cards & characters before releasing them🥲

@blepthecat Месяц назад

The main issue ends up being that there's way less developers making TCG than players, and the best players are usually going to be better than the developers at the game. I'm sure they test the cards as best as they can, but there is always a risk of "missing" something just because the community is spending like 1000x the number of hours playing the game. Usually, heavy balance changes means they're making risky designs - which is honestly a good thing, we've had 'low impact' patches before where new cards don't change anything and it's kind of boring. Honestly I don't mind the patch if it wasn't for the fact that it messed with Prince Cup pretty heavily
