Happy new year, Toonsters! We hope everyone had a great time at the holidays, and we hope we can contribute to their follow-up with some exciting changes!
In season 23, we’re boosting the Go Karts to top speed, ensuring they’re a consolidated force to be reckoned with both in and out of Arena! Besides the changes to these mean machines, we’re also bolstering the Daffy All-Stars since Star-Pharaoh Daffy’s changes left them a bit behind, and reworking a few of our OGs into a full fledged team – which we hope we can do with more of them in the future!
The Barnyard Team
Back in ye olde barnyard, our seasoned OGs are coming up to speed this season. While they are keeping the original Rural tag AND have interactions with it, they’ll also receive the Barnyard tag, which will allow for further interactions that round out their mechanics. This team does not currently have a Legendary toon, but packs a punch anyway, being composed of Foghorn Leghorn, Miss Prissy, Barnyard Dawg, Henery Hawk and Egghead Jr.
Here’s a sneak peek of their new Theme Passive:
Balance Changes
In this season, the only team going through balance changes are the Daffy All-Stars, as the other changes are more encompassing reworks.
Our goal is to make each of the Epic team members of the Daffy All-Stars team be stronger as a standalone character, enabling them to push past the power lost by Star-Pharaoh Daffy. In general, these include better defensive traits as well as giving more offensive power to the feathered menaces that are OG Daffy and Captain Daffy.
As always, and for these ones specially, a reminder that these changes might not be final:

Barnyard
The Barnyard team is our first team fully composed of reworked OGs, this time all the staples from the Farm region. The Barnyard team is focused on Critical Hits, relying on the power of the original auto-taunter Foghorn Leghorn for protection.
As 5 toons are being introduced to the team, there’s also some combinations to try out!
These are complete reworks, so some details like cooldown adjustments will be left-out for brevity:
Foghorn Leghorn (OG)
Foghorn will retain most of his core kit, while we modernize his stat and fit him in the new Barnyard theme to be able to self-sustain through powerful critical hits and self-healing while enabling his crew to take the offensive.
