Changes Overview

In most of the changes to the updates for 2021.S02, the Neutral remain, well… Neutral! Currently, we are happy with how most Neutral units and Attachments are faring both as a faction and as a supplement to other Factions (except Free Folk). We’ve listed all the changes below by category to help you out.

General Ability Changes

• Brienne, Maiden of Tarth: Changes to Knightly Vow.

Points Costs Changes

• Golden Company Crossbowmen dropped from 8 to 7 points.

We’ve taken a point from this unit to make it more in line with its other ranged peers.

Specific Ability Changes

• Glory Seeker: Removed Rally Cry, added Iron Resolve, added Stubborn Tenacity.

We’ve reworked the Glory Seeker into a more defensive Cavalry Attachment. Having Rally Cry as an option for most factions was affecting game balance and faction identity.

• House Bolton Flayed Men: Attack dice dropped on first Rank from 7 to 6.

We’ve reduced their Attack dice to make them more in line with other heavy Cavalry units.

• Petyr Baelish, Littlefinger: Changes to Master of the Game.

We’ve constricted Petyr’s first effect to 3 times per game. This was to incentivize players to use him more strategically.

Once again, short and sweet! With the Neutrals, we finish our last Visions in the Flames for 2021.S02. We hope these visions have helped clarify our intent with this season’s updates.
