Illuvium: Arena Update 1.12.1

Patch Notes

In this update, we’ve made a series of balancing adjustments aimed at creating a healthier meta and encouraging more diverse strategies. Notably, Harbinger and Magma composites have been toned down to reduce their overwhelming impact in late-game scenarios, while Earth-aligned tank weapons with strong reflection mechanics have been reined in to ensure fairer counterplay. Alongside these nerfs, several under/overperforming Illuvials, composites, and weapons have received adjustments to bring them closer to parity.
