Wherein we level the playing field as toons both old and new take center stage.
These changes will be added to the game shortly.

- Gridiron Gossamer now has a Friendship with Athlete toons.
- Substitutes his rivalry with Bugs Bunny toons
Dev notes: A solid push that was long overdue. Should help increase his synergy with Henery Hike and QB Daffy, while keeping the spirit of his kit, buffing up the football players while being a lot more defensive in general.
Cheerleader Wile E.
- Big Cheer now cleanses more debuffs from your team after healing them.
- Heal your team for (100 / 110 / 110 / 120 / 120)% heal-power, granting them 3 Attack Up for 2 turns and cleansing (1 / 1-2 / 2 / 2-3 / 3) random debuffs from each.

Dev notes: A few upgrades to bring Cheerleader in line with other supports and refine the toon’s playstyle, allowing Wile E. to close the Athletes team nicely.
VILLAINS
Evil Granny
- All the World’s a Cage scales slower now, and is more effective the more Space toons you have on your team.
- While this toon is in battle, non-Space enemies have (-1 / -2 / -3 / -4 / -5)% Attack for each Space toon on this team.
- Stat scaling used to be (-10 / -12 / -14 / -16 / -20) and applied while Evil Granny was in battle.
- This will not affect her function within the Villains team.
- While this toon is in battle, non-Space enemies have (-1 / -2 / -3 / -4 / -5)% Attack for each Space toon on this team.
- Tyranny Endures now is triggered only on Villain ally defeat.
- Whenever a Villain ally is defeated, at the end of turn, this toon has a 50% chance to Revive a random ally at 50% Health. Whenever a Villain is revived, remove 3-5 buffs from all enemies.
- As with the above skill, should not affect her function within the Villains team.
- Whenever a Villain ally is defeated, at the end of turn, this toon has a 50% chance to Revive a random ally at 50% Health. Whenever a Villain is revived, remove 3-5 buffs from all enemies.
Dev notes: Some toons should be strong. In the case of a Legendary team leader like Evil Granny, this is very much true. The balance lies within making sure these strong toons don’t cross the line into being purely brainless or unfun. With these changes we intend to maintain her power untouched within her final team, while making her matchups a bit more favorable and keeping her skills from being used at full power in teams that would cause constant passive triggering and other less than ideal interactions.
Supersonic Hopper
- Archetype Passive changed from Strength to Prowler.
- While Hidden, this toon has +(5 / 7.5 / 10 / 12.5 / 15 / 20)% Attack and Speed.
- Used to be This toon has +(8 / 12 / 16 / 20 / 25 / 30)% Attack.
Dev notes: For a toon with a name like that, Hopper was surprisingly slow. This is a simple change that should give him a considerable speed boost without taking away too much of his hard-hitting attack.
