The Season 40 patch has arrived like a tumbleweed in the wind!
We’re back, this time with small but mighty updates. While we’ve kept things light on the patch front, we’ve been hard at work behind the scenes, preparing for an exciting new Western Saloon takeover this season, featuring not one, but two brand-new teams! As part of this, we’ll be reworking Wildcard Wolf and Barkeep Sheepdog, who will each join one of the two new teams being introduced during this takeover. Here’s all you need to know:
Lady Luck Shines on All
Wildcard Wolf will be joining the table with three new toons to play the game of luck. The Lady Luck team leaves things to chance. Much of what they do can go either way, but as long as luck’s a lady, the odds will always favor them. Their theme passive gives a glimpse into the kind of gamble they like to take:
Showdown at the Saloon
Join Barkeep Sheepdog and three new characters for a western showdown at the local Saloon. When this team walks into a room, they quite literally own it. They relentlessly lower the enemy’s Damage, Speed, and Recovery while empowering their own abilities and controlling the tide of battle to ensure they stay standing long after the dust settles. Here’s a sneak peek into their theme passive:
Reworks
You can find the reworks down below. As always, they might not be the final version and are subject to change.
Lady Luck
Wildcard Wolf
Now that Wildcard Wolf is receiving his Lady Luck passive, we’ll be updating his kit to account for strong team synergy and battlefield impact. He will gain Damage Up on landing critical hits and will grant teammates Attack or Piercing when they land critical hits. He’ll also be able to inflict Defense and Critical Defense Debuffs, and other random Stat Downs on enemies, boost his team’s Damage, Attack, and Piercing, and gain and remove Turn Meter from Stunned and Silenced foes in Alliance Wars.

Barkeep Sheepdog
These reworks will reinforce Barkeep Sheepdog’s role as a reliable and protective backbone for the Saloon team. He will now be able to boost his Speed and Cleanse Stat Downs on his team. He’ll also be able to reduce the damage enemies deal and inflict Damage Over Time when enemies land Critical Hits. The cooldown reduction on Sarsaparilla will now trigger when any of his teammates fall low on health, and has been shifted to his Basic Skill, which will allow for easy access during crucial moments.
