Highlighted Changes

Temtem

• #065 – Hedgine 
  • Binary Flood has been removed from its move pool.
  • Token has been added to its move pool.
  • Hedgine is one of the strongest digitals in the format thanks to its Gotta Go Fast Trait .This is why we’ve decided to remove the move that we think is the most problematic in the Hedgine kit, and we will keep watch on it and its trait to see if it needs to be adjusted for 1.6.

•  #131 – Tukai
  • Noxious Bomb has been maintained in its move pool as a TC.
  • One of the most talked-about topics in the Tuwai line has been the Noxious Bomb tech. We have considered the feedback provided and have decided to remove this tech from the entire evolutionary line except for Tukai, who relies on the interaction between this technique and Shuine’s Horn for its physical set to exist at all.

•  #144 – Vulffy
  • Sludge Gift has been removed from its move pool.
  • Bush is now an Egg Technique.
  • Petal Dagger can be learned at level 31.
  • Vulffy is still a super dominant Temtem in the format, so we have decided to remove the tech that brought so much controversy with it.

• #165 – Galios
  • SPATK has been increased from 68 ⇒ 72.
  • Transient Echo has been removed from its move pool.
  • Beta Burst has been added to its move pool.
  • The gameplay of Galios has been a problem since its release, as it has not been what we expected. We think that the rotation of a 0 hold move + Transient Echo + Selfless Ruination is too flat, but also very effective. To break away from this combo and the current Galios gameplay, we have increased the pressure that Galios can apply from the start of the game, and we’ve slightly adjusted its signature move, as it depended directly on the interaction with Transient Echo.

Techniques

• Toxin Shower 
  • Evasion turns 2 ⇒ 1.
  • Platimous is probably the most consistent Temtem in the scene, and has been for several patches now. Maybe we haven’t been hard enough on it, but we don’t want to make the two most dominant waters of the format drop too sharply. We feel that this change that Platimous receives will greatly affect how opponents can respond to it.

• Binary Flood 
  • Damage has been reduced 75 ⇒ 67.
  • STA Cost has been reduced 21 ⇒ 19.
  • Despite the removal of this technique from the Hedgines kit, we feel that it is still a technique with excessive value, as it is an AoE non-resistance move that applies two turns of seized.

• Serbatiyo’s Wrath 
  • SPATK Stage Modification has been reduced 2 ⇒ 1.
  • STA Cost has been reduced 35 ⇒ 30.
  • Oceara is undoubtedly one of the most dominant Temtem in the format, even though toxic Tems are very popular in the meta. We want Oceara to continue having a versatile profile in terms of coverage techs, and the ability to apply speed control on the opposing team. We’ve decided to focus Oceara’s changes on the way it scales while applying damage. We know that this is the differential concept for this Temtem, but after the nerf to Freeze, adding Water Blade to its kit made Oceara return to the format, and that’s why we have ultimately opted for this change.

• Selfless Ruination
  • Hold turns from 3 ⇒ 2.
  • Priority has been reduced from High ⇒ Normal.
  • STA Cost has been reduced from 18 ⇒ 15.
  • We have wondered a lot about whether to remove evasion from this tech, or change its priority. Let’s see how Galios performs by keeping the evasion turn and reducing the Selfess Ruination hold, but also lowering its priority. We believe that Galios should play around this tech by exerting control on the opponent, either by creating sleep combos or by speed control, and not by simply clicking a high priority tech.

Traits

• Toxic Skin
  • It now works once per battle.
  • Poison ticks have been increased 1 ⇒ 2.
  • Adoroboros has taken a step aside in this patch, but we still wanted to adjust how this trait works in order to adjust Adoro in a more controlled and fairer way.

• Deceit Aura 
  • Turn limitation has been removed.
  • As we commented back in the day with the switch to Deceit Aura, we are going to slowly make things easier for Nagaise and give it back tools, but in a controlled way, as we think the Tem is close to being in a good spot.

Temtem

As you will see, for this mid-season patch we’ve adjusted or buffed Tems that are not at the end of the evolutionary line in order to make them more viable. We have more things in store for these Tems for 1.6, but this time we’ve carried out all the changes that didn’t require coding.

  • Ninja Jutsu has been added to its move pool.
  • Flaming Meteorite has been added to its move pool.

•  #141 – Pigepic 
  • Boomerang has been added to its move pool.
  • We want to facilitate combos with its Friendship trait. This was sometimes difficult with Debris Typhoon, as you had to use the Tech with synergy if you wanted to create a combo. Anyways, we are keeping this tech in Pigepic’s kit, as we understand that there are situations where Debris Thyphoon is still more efficient`.

Temtem – Ver. 1.5.1

• Release date: October 24th 2023 (North America, Europe, Japan)
• Patch notes:

New Stuff

• The Ignoramus Cloack is no longer a unique item! You’ll be able to obtain a second one in the Pansun route.

Improvements

• We’ve reviewed a very, very long list of emotes (49 on surfing board/skates, 31 sitting/espectating) so they can be used during spectating, sitting, surfing and crystal-skating! Try your favorite emotes to see if they made the list.

Temtem – Ver. 1.5.0 (Endless Night)

• Release date: September 25th 2023 (North America, Europe, Japan)
• Hotfix 1:

Issues fixed:

• Radar Koish appearing as fake Umbra and softlocking your game upon interaction.
• Being unable to interact with the new Lair’s urns and getting softlocked by it.
• Getting the Casual Dojo Rematches as already done, and not getting their rewards. You can do Casual and Disciple Dojo Rematches again, even if you had already completed them before this maintenance.

• Hotfix 2:

• Fixed the trading issue in Mythical Lairs and DigiLairs. DigiLairs have been enabled again.
• Fixed the locks that were happening in the Mythical Lairs.
• We’ve changed our approach to seeding: if you leave a Lair or are unable to complete it, no matter the party size, the following one will be different.
• Adjusted the Galios’ Lair: you’ll now be asked for one less Jewel in party sizes 1 or 2 people, and Galios won’t have the Predatory trait ever again.

• Hotfix 2:

• We’ve corrected and rectified a situation where placing some housing in certain places, due to the new layouts, could cause a false ban. We’ve unbanned all the affected Tamers and stopped the issue from continuing.
• We’ve corrected a bug/exploit where our client (the NPC at Nanto Labs) would speak of a certain amount of Luma Drops in exchange for an Umbra but the server (what you actually got) would multiply that number by 2. The amount of Luma Drops you’ll get from now on will match what the NPC at Nanto Labs tells you, as intended from the start.
• We’ve temporarily solved the issue where players would get stuck in a Lair if they tried to trade while arleady having a complete Squad. You won’t be able to trade for more Tems than your Squad can hold. If you try to, the involves Tems won’t be traded. Items in the trade will be traded. This is a temporary measure until we can implement the required client-side fix in 1.5.1.

• Patch notes:

New Stuff

• A new Mythical Temtem is here
  • Galios is the third and last Mythical Temtem. With a kit focused on Doom, new Traits with new mechanics, and a brand new route and Lair, it’s sure to spice things up around the Archipelago, a place it hasn’t visited in eons.
  • There’s a new quest that will take you to its Lair and unprecedent new heights. You can start it at Nanto Labs, in Cipanku.

• A new quest and a new route
  • Come onboard to a most distant land. The third Mythical Lair can now be unlocked, if you dare.
  • Meet a mysterious Order on your way to Galios, and find out more about their intriguing schemes.

• A new type of Temtem: Umbras are real.
  • After teasing this for months, Umbras really do exist and have been included in this update.
  • Umbras are a new type of differently-colored Tems. They’re Lumas’ dark, even rarer counterpart. They have a new effect, exclusive to them.
  • Umbras won’t spawn until you have finished their respective quest, and after defeating the third Mythical, Galios.
  • There are three ways to obtain Umbras, whose base rate of apparition is 1/75.000:
    • Wild: Using the base rate, an Umbra can appear in any wild battle where a Luma could appear too. If Lumas are blocked on a specific activity or battle type, Umbras will be locked too.
    • Breeding: Umbras are infertile, but Luma parents can produce Umbra children. Each time a Temtem breeds, the base rate will be used to determine if it’s an Umbra. If one of the parents is a Luma, the rate for the child being an Umbra will also be multiplied by 10 (1/7.500) and if both parents are Luma, the rate will be multiplied by 100 (1/750).
    • Umbra Radars: These work like the current Radars, but boost Umbra odds instead. They will be purchasable with Luma Drops in Nanto Labs. These have a different icon and a tweaked UI so you can easily tell them apart from regular Radars. The Umbra rate will be multiplied according to the current radar capture number (0-100: Base rate x10; 101-200: Base rate x50; 201-300: Base rate x100).
  • All Umbra have their SVs set to 50, all the possible Egg Techniques already learned, 0 fertility, and they will be soulbound.
  • Please note that anything that boosts Luma chance (like Saipark or Temtem radars) doesn’t boost Umbra chance, unless specifically mentioned.
  • This is not a drill, nor a joke. Umbras really do exist. They are very hard to achieve, require huge effort, and are a steep climb from Luma hunting. Umbras are meant as a new goal for our most dedicated players, please don’t expect them to casually pop up! The odds are not in anyone’s favor. But still, best of luck, and we hope to see an Umbra or two soon!
  • Please note: there’s currently a small visual bug where, upon capturing an Umbra whose Luma version you already had, the number on your Tamer Info won’t be correctly updated to yourself. Other people will be able to see the right number. Sorry! We’ll fix it asap.

• Time for a new Season!
  • Season 5 is called Endless Night and it’s the dark and spooky season all us goths deserve.
  • Season 5 will be the first one to last one month longer, so it’ll be on from today, September 25th, until January 29th, 2024. Remember you can see this in-game, on the upper right corner of the Tamer Pass!
  • There will be two events during this Season: the first one will be, of course, a Halloween-themed event.

• A new Challenger Mode: Randomized!
  • The Randomized mode is similar to the Randomlocke mode, but without the hardcore Nuzlocke rules. This means your Tems won’t permanently faint, and you’ll be able to catch more than two per route.
  • Most things will be random in this mode: Temtem you find, the Techniques they have, items you might find.
  • You can co-op this mode as well, as long as you follow the Challenge modes co-op rules.
  • This mode comes with its own set of exclusive, new rewards, and its kudo, so give it a try!

• Lairs v2! Lairs have been revamped following player feedback.
  • Apart from the usual ones, you can now form parties of 1 and 2 players.
    • Less Jewels are required to access the Mythical boss according to party size.
    • Rewards have been adjusted according to party size.
    • These new party sizes are focused on players who might not have reached endgame yet. The rewards are focused on resources to build a good, competitive team that can withstand the endgame content.
    • The 3-to-5-person Lair will still be the most challenging and the ones that require the most effort, so they will still be the ones that reward most handsomely. The rewards for 3-to-5-people Lair have been adjusted to account for this.
    • You can get a Mythical egg in Lairs of any size, but Lairs of 3 to 5 players will provide eggs with boosted Luma rates.
  • We’ve introduced a new Node that will let you trade with other players in the Lair.
    • You can only trade with players in your same Lair.
    • The person who reaches the Node initiates the trade. The person on the receiving side must be out of combat to be able to accept and engage with the trade.
    • We’re trying to improve the feeling of cooperation in Lairs, and we believe this will also improve the completion rate of Lairs.
    • This trading node will also be added to DigiLairs.
  • Starting from this patch, you will only be able to revive once per Lair.
    • We’re trying to prevent bitter Lair experiences where one player single-handedly consumes all of the teams’ Jewels, and
    • This change will not apply to DigiLairs.
  • We’ve added a pity system to Lairs. This means that per each node you conquer successfully you’ll net yourself 100 Pansuns even if you don’t defeat the boss or leave the Lair in the middle. All nodes count for this.

• Casual Dojo rematches are here
  • You will be asked to choose your difficulty level when walking up to any Dojo Master for a rematch. You can choose between Disciple and Casual.
  • Casual Rematches have been scaled down so players who haven’t reached endgame yet have a better chance at winning the rematches and get to practice on the competitive mode.
  • You can complete the Casual option first, and the Disciple option later. If you complete the Disciple option first, the Casual version will be counted as completed as well, and you will get the Casual rewards automatically.

• Dye preview in the Luma Drops store!
  • You will now be able to preview the Luma Dyes on the Luma Drop store before you buy them. They’ll preview over a generic t-shirt.

• A new musical instrument: the Theremin!

Improvements

• Premium Store items from Season 1 have been added to the rotating Daily Store pool!
• FreeTem! has received a lot of changes:
  • You’ll now be asked to release Tems from 4 particular, randomized species, instead of the current anything-goes method.
  • Each player will get 4 different species at random, so each set of groups will be different for each player.
  • You can release them in any order, and at any time during the week, even switching from group to group at random.
  • Groups will be equalized in terms of difficulty, factoring in spawn rate and catch rate.
  • The max amount of releases required is 90, and the minimum is 5.
  • We’ve made it so you can only get one group of the maximum amount per week, making sure FreeTem is never more demanding than before.
  • The released Tems will maintain the current FreeTem! restrictions, such as having to have been captured that same week, and having to have your OT.
  • Rewards will be Feathers and Pansuns per each group completed, as opposed to the previous Tier system.
  • Every group gives the same amount of rewards, regardless of the group, the week or the player.
  • You can do as many and as little groups as you please. You can do them all, just half, none at all… whatever you feel like that week!
  • With this change we hope FreeTem! feels a bit more fresh, more interesting and challenging, and closer to our idea of an actual activity.

• We’ve made it so currently equipped cosmetics and currently placed furniture items don’t show up in trades or while selling to an NPC. No more accidentally selling your clothes!
• We’ve added a new feature for clarity that will let you see some Gears at the beginning of a turn, even if their behavior hasn’t been activated yet. This will record them in the Battle Log and make it harder to forget they’re there. You’ll see the complete list in the Balance section.
• Mythical Temtem now have variants in their intro and fainting VO sounds.
• Credits have been updated. We’ve added the newer Crema peeps to them!
• Matter-Transfer Drone travel transitions now have sound effects and audio behavior like the Narwhal travels do.
• Special trainers now have a distinctive music intro.
• We’ve reviewed the cosmetics in the regular loot pool to make sure all of them are sellable to NPCs and tradeable.

Balance

Economy

• The Feather reward for the GritArena has been increased by 33%.
• The Feather reward for the TemSafari has been increased by 15%.
• The Feather reward for the DraftArena has been increased by 15%.
• Disciple Dojo Rematches now provide better rewards through the extra rewards obtained from automatically beating Casual Dojo Rematches.
• The rewards for 3 to 5-people Mythical Lairs have been adjusted so they are more reliable and more consistent, with less difference from one run to the other. We’ve also moved some of the rewards to match the difference in challenge between small-sized Lairs and regular size Lairs
• DigiLairs will now ask for one more Jewel to access the DigiLair boss.

We’re sticking with the Highlighted Changes following your positive feedback on it! Remember that these changes will still appear under their respective categories lower down below.

HIGHLIGHTED CHANGES

• #004 – Chromeon

• • STA has been increased 55 ⇒ 61.
  • SPATK has been increased 78 ⇒ 85.
  • Shy Shield has been removed from its tech pool.
  • Generify has been removed from its tech pool.
  • Data Burst has been removed from its tech pool.
  • Hologram is now learned at level 8.
  • Binary Flood is now learned at level 15.
  • Rainbow Guard is now learned at level 29.

Chromeon has been awaiting a rework for quite some time, and it’s finally here! Its tech pool has been greatly improved so that Chromeon can achieve diversity while staying true to its glass-cannon identity. You’ll notice that some variations, like Electric, will remain mostly the same, while other types like Mental are receiving some much-needed new tools. Its signature move, Torrent, has been buffed, ensuring that every Chromeon has a decent turn 1 technique.

In terms of its traits, Chromeon’s Special Attack (SPATK) has been adjusted to match the nerf that has been applied to Synertyper. This adjustment prevents Chromeon from falling short when the trait isn’t activated, while also ensuring it doesn’t become overwhelming at lower TMR ranges. This is particularly important as digi-aggro poses a significant hurdle for less experienced players to overcome. On the other hand, Pigment Inverter has been changed with the aim of turning it into a healthier mechanic. The previous iteration’s lack of information was a problem for players in terms of clarity. While we acknowledge that this version may be less prevalent and more situational, we believe it leads to much more dynamic and creative gameplay, allowing for the setup of combos and even the choice to nullify your ally.

Here are the list of changes per Chromeon type, and other changes that affect it specifically:

• [Crystal] 

• • Quartz Dirt has been added to its tech pool.

• [Digital] 

• • Overclock has been added to its tech pool.
  • Token has been added to its tech pool.

• [Earth] 

• • Petrify has been removed from its tech pool.
  • Sludge Gift has been added to its tech pool.
  • Drought has been added to its tech pool.

• [Electric] 

• • Electric Storm has been added to its tech pool.
  • Tesla Prison has been added to its tech pool.
  • DC Beam has been added to its tech pool.

• [Fire] 

• • Fire Tornado has been added to its tech pool.
  • Fire Flame has been added to its tech pool.
  • Fiery Heist is now learned at level 85.

• [Melee] 

• • Kesa Gatame has been added to its tech pool.

• [Mental] 
  • Energy Manipulation has been added to its tech pool.

• [Nature] 

• • Allergic Spread has been added to its tech pool.

• [Neutral] 

• • Willpower Drain has been added to its tech pool.

• [Toxic] 

• • Toxic Gas has been added to its tech pool.

• [Water] 

• • Tsunami has been added to its tech pool.
  • Water Blade has been added to its tech pool.
  • Sharp Rain has been added to its tech pool.

• [Wind] 

• • Blizzard has been removed from its tech pool.
  • Gust has been added to its tech pool.

 

• Torrent
  • Damage has been increased 65 ⇒ 95.

• Pigment Inverter
  • Previous effects no longer work.
  • New effect: When attacking a Temtem with an ineffective technique, the target receives 3 turns of Nullified.

• Synertyper
  • Damage increase has been reduced 30% ⇒ 25%.

Now, onto another Tem:

• #034 – Nagaise
  • HP has been increased 47 ⇒ 53.
  • DEF has been increased 58 ⇒ 62.
  • SPDEF has been increased 76 ⇒ 78.

• Deceit Aura

• • Previous effects no longer work.
  • New effect: From Very Low to Very High, the priority of the techniques used during a turn is inverted.

Nagaise has been a significant challenge for both players and the balance team. Deceit Aura has, arguably, been the most polarizing trait in the game’s history, so it’s undergoing a comprehensive rework. With this trait change and buffs to its base stats to compensate for what Nagaise has lost, we aim to establish a new starting point for this Temtem. This will allow us to reintroduce moves or base stats adjustments that had to be removed due to the impact of Deceit Aura, or fine-tune the values for this trait.

For now, we’ve kept the 4-turn restriction to assess how Nagaise performs after the change with moves like Lullaby, 5PPEH, Zen Meditation, etc., before removing the turn limit. Our team of balance helpers has reported that, since it’s now less punishing to be fast against Nagaise, this approach to Deceit Aura will make speed control more relevant in the meta. We hope this new Deceit Aura change will provide a more user-friendly experience, but we’ll closely monitor its impact, as mentioned.

• #101 – Kauren
  • Willpower Drain is now learned at level 30.
  • Nightmare Feed has been added to its tech pool.
  • Earth Wave has been removed from its tech pool.
  • Stone Ball has been removed from its tech pool.
  • Stampede has been removed from its tech pool.
  • STA has been increased 54 ⇒ 57.
  • ATK has been reduced 81 ⇒ 52.
  • SPATK has been increased 52 ⇒ 81.

• Petrify

• • Hold turns have been increased 1 ⇒ 2.
  • Trap turns have been reduced 3 ⇒ 2. 
  • Damage has been increased 60 ⇒ 61.
  • STA Cost has been increased 12 ⇒ 17.
  • New effect: Overexerts the target.

• Skull Helmet

• • New effect: The Temtem is now immune to the Exhausted Status Condition.

We came across a player feedback thread on Kauren that suggested a shift to a Special attacker. Given our previous unsuccessful attempts to improve this Temtem, we decided to give this idea a try. The outcome has made Kauren more efficient in terms of damage output and stamina management. This change, paired with the introduction of Nightmare Feed to address the healing deficiency in Skull Helmet builds (which has also been improved), can potentially help Kauren find its spot in the meta. We are optimistic that it will be as effective as proven during our internal scrims.

  • STA has been increased 55 ⇒ 61.

  • Damage has been reduced 95 ⇒ 85.

  • Damage has been reduced 105 ⇒ 85.
• Iridescence
  • Previous effects no longer work.
  • New effect: When receiving a technique, the type of this technique is ignored but it deals 12.5% more damage to Koish.

Koish, like Chromeon, has been awaiting a rework for quite some time, and it’s finally here as well. We’ve applied the same principles we employed with Chromeon. A review of the entire tech pool for each type was done to ensure they all feel relevant, while also addressing the unhealthy trait (Iridescence) and adjusting the rest of Koish’s kit accordingly.

The new Iridescence offers flexibility in teambuilding and helps variants that were weak on the defensive side but had offensive potential, such as the Mental variety. In the early stages of testing Iridescence, combined with the changes to base stats, it felt quite strong. That’s why we added the extra damage taken to balance it, especially since Synergy Adept benefitted from the additional stats. This flexible value provides us with a tool to balance this build if needed once players have their hands on the Temtem.

 

• #165 – Galios

We want to let the playerbase discover what this Temtem is capable of and enjoy the surprises it brings naturally, so information here will be brief. Testing has revealed that this Temtem is quite complex, so we expect player experimentation to discover new builds or combos that we might have missed. We will be monitoring this Temtem throughout the season as we understand the impact it could have on the PvP scene. We have some potential changes prepared, depending on how its adaptation to the meta goes.

That’s it for this patch’s highlighted changes!

  • Last Rush has been removed from its traits.
  • Bird Season has been added to its traits.
  • Granpah hasn’t been able to fully recover fully after losing Hyperkinetic Strike. Following feedback from the community, and after some testing, we have replaced Last Rush with a brand new trait: Bird Season. This trait will allow Granpah to put pressure on other Wind Temtem.

• #020 – Amphatyr
  • STA has been increased 57 ⇒ 61.
  • SPATK has been increased 62 ⇒ 66.
  • Infectious has been removed from its traits.
  • Settling has been added to its traits.
  • Amphatyr had a tough time with its damage output and the high Stamina cost of its techniques. We modified the Settling trait to boost SPATK as well, and we’ve replaced Infectious with this trait. This change allows  Amphatyr to scale offensively while being the fast, frail Temtem that it is.

• #034 – Nagaise
  • HP has been increased 47 ⇒ 53.
  • DEF has been increased 58 ⇒ 62.
  • SPDEF has been increased 76 ⇒ 78.

  • STA has been increased 51 ⇒ 55.
  • SPDEF has been increased 40 ⇒ 49.
  • Determined has been removed from its traits.
  • Furor has been added to its traits.
  • Continuing our efforts to revitalize less played Temtem, we have chosen to explore a playstyle for Owlhe where it can truly shine. Recognizing its frail nature and ability to be brought to low HP ranges, we have given it Furor so it can take advantage of this position

• #053 – Barnshe
  • STA has been increased 51 ⇒ 56.
  • DEF has been increased 40 ⇒ 47.
  • HP has been increased 57 ⇒ 63.

• #061 – Piraniant
  • STA has been increased 52 ⇒ 58.
  • SPDEF has been increased 45 ⇒ 50.

  • HP has been increased 74 ⇒ 76.
  • STA has been increased 55 ⇒ 61.
  • DEF has been increased 76 ⇒ 78.
  • SPDEF has been increased 60 ⇒ 65. 
  • Tortenite has been limited in terms of buffs due to the defensive potential offered by its trait, Confined. Following a nerf to Confined, now providing a +1DEF/+1SPDEF bonus, we’ve created an opportunity for buffs to Tortenite this season and in the future if necessary.

• #075 – Innki
  • DEF has been increased 58 ⇒ 61.
  • SPDEF has been increased 58 ⇒ 61.

• #100 – Kuri 
  • Willpower Drain has been added to its tech pool.
  • Sludge Gift has been added to its tech pool.
  • Petrify has been added to its tech pool.

  • Stone Ball has been removed from its tech pool.
  • Stampede has been removed from its tech pool.
  • STA has been increased 54 ⇒ 57.
  • ATK has been reduced 81 ⇒ 52.
  • SPATK has been increased 52 ⇒ 81.

• #107 – Blooze
  • Bamboozle has been added to its tech pool.
  • Beef Up has been added to its tech pool as a TC.
  • Pollution has been added to its tech pool.

• #114 – Gazuma
  • HP has been increased 49 ⇒ 54.
  • STA has been increased 53 ⇒ 56.
  • DEF has been increased 49 ⇒ 52.
  • Gazuma has gained increased popularity since receiving buffs during the past season. We are pleased with its position in the meta, showcasing its versatility as a Temtem that performs well both as an offensive threat and a valuable support. While we are content with these aspects, we acknowledge the issues posed by its trait, Fast Charge. We are reducing the Speed buff provided by this trait while making necessary adjustments to Gazuma’s stats to maintain its position in the meta.

• #122 – Shuine 
  • HP has been increased 47 ⇒ 51.
  • DEF has been increased 52 ⇒ 55.

• #124 – Valiar
  • Blackhole has been added to its tech pool.
  • Jinxed Whisper has been added to its tech pool
  • This will be brief. Valiar is regaining Blackhole, but there are additional changes planned for this Temtem in the next season that had to be postponed due to their complexity.

• #129 – Adoroboros
  • HP has been reduced 70 ⇒ 67.
  • STA has been reduced 66 ⇒ 63.
  • SPDEF has been reduced 107 ⇒ 105.
  • Adoroboros has been one of the strongest Temtem during this last season. We think it needed another nerf on its bulk. We will keep an eye on this Temtem to see how it performs after this changes, specially on Toxic Skin builds.

• #131 – Tukai
  • Turbine has been added to its tech pool.

• #135 – Tuwire
  • HP has been increased 59 ⇒ 62.
  • DEF has been increased 52 ⇒ 60.
  • SPDEF has been increased 51 ⇒ 61.
  • Tuwire feels similar to Tortenite. Common Factor had to be nerfed for this Temtem to receive any buff. After testing the changes, our scrims have shown that there are situations that have resulted in benefits for the Temtem while others…not so much. We will be monitoring this Temtem now that it has gained space for potential buffs.

• #139 – Vulor
  • Smoldering Kiss has been added to its tech pool.

• #140 – Vulcrane
  • SPDEF has been increased 35 ⇒ 43.

  • Hold turns have been increased 1 ⇒ 2.
  • Trap turns have been reduced 3 ⇒ 2. 
  • Damage has been increased 60 ⇒ 61.
  • STA Cost has been increased 12 ⇒ 17.
  • New effect: Overexerts the target.
  • Techniques that allow the player to create space for their team through overexertion are positive and under-explored. These type of techniques require a clear previous reasoning to get the best of them.

• Perfect Jab
  • Damage has been reduced 30 ⇒ 25.

• Time Split 
  • Damage has been increased 55 ⇒ 61.
  • STA Cost has been reduced 18 ⇒ 16. 

• Toxin Shower
  • Damage has been increased 60 ⇒ 61.

• Clay Ball 
  • Damage has been increased 60 ⇒ 61.

• Double Gash
  • Damage has been increased 60 ⇒ 61.

• Stone Trench
  • STA Cost has been reduced 29 ⇒ 25.

• Electropunch
  • Damage has been reduced 110 ⇒ 100.
  • STA Cost has been increased 22 ⇒ 24.

• Sting
  • Attack type has been changed Physical ⇒ Special.

• Faraday Cage
  • STA Cost has been reduced 34 ⇒ 31.

• Double Edge (Synergy) 
  • New effect: This technique can ignore the Evasion Status Condition.

• Fire Flame 
  • Priority has been increased Normal ⇒ High.

 

Traits

• Backhanded
  • Previous effects no longer work.
  • New effect: When using an Status Condition Technique, this Temtem receives 1 turn of Regenerating.

• Toxic Farewell
  • Poison turns have been reduced 3 ⇒ 1.
  • HP reduction has been reduced 10% ⇒ 7%.
  • New effect: The poison ticks now are applied to both rivals.

• Kinetic Transfer
  • Previous effects no longer work
  • New effect: When attacking a Temtem, the user recovers 15% of the damage done as STA.

• Hypnotist
  • The trait is no longer triggered when the Temtem enters the battlefield.
  • This trait is now enabled after the Temtem has spent 2 turns in the battlefield.
  • Maoala has consistently applied significant pressure during Pick/Ban phases, mainly due to the uncertainty of it using its Hypnotist trait. Traits like these should require a specific setup and offer substantial benefits thereafter. This has been the reasoning behind the Hypnotist changes. Now, Maoala needs to be in a favorable position to fully utilize the trait but it will gain a slot on its tech pool as Wake Up won’t be needed anymore and its ally won’t require a specific Gear to avoid the Sleep Status Condition.

• Deceit Aura
  • Previous effects no longer work.
  • New effect: From Very Low to Very High, the priority of the techniques used during a turn is inverted.

• Iridescence
  • Previous effects no longer work.
  • New effect: When receiving a technique, the type of the technique is ignored, but it deals 12.5% more damage to Koish.

• Pigment Inverter
  • Previous effects no longer work.
  • New effect: When attacking a Temtem with an ineffective technique, the target receives 3 turns of Nullified.

• Tri-Phytologist
  • Exhaust turns have been increased 1 ⇒ 2.

• Last Rush
  • Damage increase has been reduced 40% ⇒ 33%.

• Fast Charge
  • SPD Stage modification has been reduced 2 ⇒ 1. 

• Settling
  • New effect: Settling gifts the holder with +1 SPATK and +1 ATK for each 2 consecutive turns they are on the battlefield.

• Common Factor
  • Nullified turns have been reduced 2 ⇒ 1.

• Skull Helmet
  • New effect: The Temtem is now immune to the Exhaust Status Condition.

• Synertyper
  • Damage increase has been reduced 30% ⇒ 25%.

 

Gears

• Vitamin Complex
  • Previous effect no longer works.
  • New effect: After the Temtem with this gear spends 3 turns in battle, all negative stage modifications are removed.

• Nutrition Bar
  • This Gear won’t be activated after the holder receives damage anymore.
  • This Gear will be enabled at the end of the turn if the holder has taken damage that turn.

• Slingshot
  • Previous effect no longer works.
  • New effect: Techniques with base damage lower than 60 and priority lower than High deal 30% more damage.
  • We are happy with the whole idea behind the new Slingshot. The release of this new iteration could feel a bit weak, but values can be tweaked in the future if required.

• Sweatband
  • Previous effect no longer works.
  • New effect: The holder restores 5 points of STA at the start of the turn.
  • Sweatband has been a subject of internal discussions for quite some time. Sweatband and other Stamina-related Gears allow a Temtem to remain on the field for longer durations. However, this gear was enabling certain Temtem to persist indefinitely, particularly when coupled with healing or evasion techniques. Our aim is to ensure that Temtem do eventually deplete their stamina, even when equipped with such a Gear. Stamina Gears should prolong overexertion, not entirely prevent it.

• Building Blocks
  • Previous effect no longer works.
  • New effect: Regenerating 1 turn instead of DEF[+] and SPDEF[+].
  • As it was mentioned in the preview of the season, we want to avoid Gears that grant free stats. To keep it a bit in line with what it used to be, Building Blocks now serves as a healing tool. We will keep an eye on this Gear during this season.

We are leaving one of the main changes of this season for last. We are testing a new approach for the announcement of some Gears, with the idea of helping with planning strategies during the game. The following Gears will be announced at the beginning of a turn, even if their behavior hasn’t been activated yet. This will record them in the Battle Log and make it harder to forget they’re there

These are the Gears affected by this change:

• Kaleidoscope
• Adrenaline Shot
• Nutrition Bar
• Snare
• Grease
• Gravels Bag
• Bait
• Drill
• Shuine’s Horn
• Refreshing Diabolo
• Building Blocks
• Talisman
• Energy Drink
• Strange Vest
• Reactive Vial
• First Aid Kit
• Vitamin Complex
• Hopeless Tonic

These are the Gears that have the most significant impact when planning a move. The team believes that these Gears will maintain a similar impact to what they already possess, as we assume that most competitive teams base their Gear selection on a sound and consistent strategy. Even with this ‘semi-open’ information approach, these Gears will fulfill the role they were designed for. We will closely monitor this change to determine whether we need to revert it or apply a similar change to every Gear.

Temtem – Ver. 1.4.2

• Release date: August 17th 2023 (North America, Europe, Japan)
• Patch notes:

Balance

HIGHLIGHTED CHANGES

• #001 – Mimit
  • DNA Extraction
    • SPD Stage modification has been reduced 2 ⇒ 1.
    • Damage has been reduced 25 ⇒ 20.
  • Striking Transmog
    • Damage reduction has been reduced 50% ⇒ 30%.
  • Mimit is one of the most predominant Temtem in this meta. The changes to Striking Transmog have been successful in terms of gaining popularity, but we believe that its potential has gone a bit overboard. Therefore, we are making some adjustments to both Striking Transmog and DNA Extraction. We want this version of Mimit to remain strong, as its effectiveness relies on how players interpret the game and analyze win conditions; however, we also aim to provide opponents with more opportunities to counter-play. That’s why we have decided to reduce the resistance on the transformation turn for Striking and decrease the speed boost of DNA Extraction. These changes will allow the opponent’s team more room to strategize and respond.

• #078 – Cycrox
  • Digithreat
    • Hold turns have been increased 1 ⇒ 2.
    • STA Cost has been reduced 29 ⇒ 23.
  • Neurotoxins
    • Doom turns have been increased 3 ⇒ 4.
  • Doom has taken a twist this season with the role change to Purgation and Restore. We believe that Cycrox, specifically Neurotoxins, is in need of a rework. While this rework is forthcoming, we believe it is necessary to provide opponents with more opportunities to remove the Doom condition or to inflict as much damage as possible while the Doom counter reaches 0. Currently, with Neurotoxin set to 3 turns, Cycrox itself or a Strangle user can render a Temtem completely incapacitated without having to exert any extra pressure while the Doom counter reaches 0. This additional turn will help make these situations more manageable.
  • The other Doom mechanic of this season is Digithreat. As we mentioned in the preview of patch 1.4, we aim for the Doom mechanic to serve as a finishing blow. Therefore, we intend to increase the hold requirement for moves that apply this status to prevent them from being spammed. With the rise in popularity of mental Temtem, such as Adoroboros, building a team composition around this strategy has become relatively easy, utilizing Digithreat users like Mawmense and Cycrox. This increase in hold will mean that you will have to choose more precisely when to use this tech

• #122 – Shuine
  •  Crystal Deluge has been removed from its move pool.
  •  Relax has been added to its move pool.
  • After receiving Crystal Deluge, this Temtem has skyrocketed its way to the top of the meta. It’s become quite the versatile player, covering a range of roles – from safeguarding its allies against status effects and swiftly setting up defenses, to dishing out damage with Water Cannon and even applying poison. Plus, with Adoroboros gaining popularity, Crystal Deluge and the high priority it has thanks to its Synergy have been keeping threats at bay way too effectively. 
  • However, we’re of the opinion that relying on Crystal Deluge as one of its main control tools might be a bit too much. After these changes to its move pool, we’ll be closely observing Shuine’s performance for the remainder of the Season. If it seems like some adjustments to its base stats could be in order, we’ll definitely consider giving it a little boost.

• #134 – Turoc
  • HP has been reduced 105 ⇒ 101.
  • Rockfall
    • Damage has been increased 75 ⇒ 83.
  • Rockfall (Synergy)
    • Damage has been increased 75 ⇒ 83.
  • Tactical Strike
    • Damage has been reduced 16% ⇒ 12%.
  • The nerfs we applied to this Temtem and Tactical Strike at the start of the season don’t appear to have had any impact on the potency that Turoc brings to the table. Despite implementing minor nerfs once more, we’d rather maintain this approach to avoid painting ourselves into a corner, until we pinpoint the ideal balance for Turoc in comparison to other Physical Earth Temtem.

• #144 – Vulffy
  • Sludge Gift
    • STA Cost has been increased 9 ⇒ 13.
  • Team Elusive
    • Now it only activates when using a damaging move.
  • Vulffy currently reigns supreme in the meta. Its flexibility and reliability make it a top pick for almost any team. We want to be cautious not to over nerf this Temtem, as we think its base stats and move pool are pretty balanced. So, we’re just gonna tweak its most efficient technique and tone down its main trait, Team Elusive. These changes aim to keep Vulffy relevant in the meta while slightly reducing its overall popularity.

That’s it for the highlighted changes! Now let’s continue normally, onto Tems, Techs, Traits and Gears.

 

Temtem

• #007 – Platypet
  • Tsunami has been added to its move pool. 
  • Noxious Bomb has been added to its move pool as a TC.

• #008 – Platox
  • Toxin Shower has been added to its move pool.

• #010 – Swali
  • Urushiol is now learned at level 14.
  • Toxic Spores is now learned at level 5.
  • Allergic Spread is now learned at level 35.
  • Bark Shield is now learned at level 44.

• #013 – Gharunder
  • Clay Ball has been removed from its move pool.
  • Voltopuncture now is learned at level 5.    
  • Tesla Prison is now learned at level 12.
  • Gharunder is one of the most common Temtem used during this Season. After the changes to Beef Up, players seemed to use that slot for Clay Ball, which serves as an excellent coverage move for an electric-type Temtem, as well as a valuable tool for speed control. Following the same reasoning we had with the removal of Stone Ball from Tateru, we are going to remove Clay Ball from Gharunder to prevent this Temtem from occupying a slot that rightfully belongs to Earth Temtem.

• #021 – Bunbun
  • Soil Steam has been added to its move pool as a TC.
  • Quartz Dirt has been added to its move pool as a TC.
  • Stone Ball has been added to its move pool.
  • Crystal Deluge has been added to its move pool.

• #022 – Mudrid

  • Frond Whip has been added to its move pool.

• #025 – Fomu
  • Water Cannon has been added to its move pool.
  • Gust has been added to its move pool.

• #026 – Wiplump
  • Water Cannon is now learned at level 42.
  • Gust is now learned at level 57.
  • Tornado is now learned at level 73.
  • Hibernate is now learned at level 100.

• #027 – Skail
  • Ninja Jutsu has been added to its move pool.
  • Savage Suplex has been added to its move pool.

• #028 – Skunch 
  • Ninja Jutsu is now learned at level 32.
  • Inner Spirit is now learned at level 56.
  • Savage Suplex is now learned at level 42.
  • Wrenching Massage is now learned at level 73.

• #029 – Goty 
  • Goring has been added to its move pool.
  • Execution has been added to its move pool.
  • Base Jump has been added to its move pool as a TC.
  • Held Anger has been added to its move pool as a TC.

• #039 – Lapinite
  • Sharpening has been added to its move pool as a TC.
  • Crystal Bite has been added to its move pool.

• #040 – Azuroc 
  • Madness Buff is now learned at level 37.
  • Crystal Bite is now learned at level 24.
  • Quartz Shield has been added to its move pool.

• #042 – Reval 
  • Fire Flame has been added to its move pool.
  • Quetza-leño has been added to its move pool as a TC.
  • Horror has been added to its move pool as a TC.

• #044 – Bigu 
  • Aqua Stone has been added to its move pool.
  • Iced Stalactite has been added to its move pool.
  • Harmful Lick has been added to its move pool.
  • Laundry has been added to its move pool as a TC.

• #046 – 0b1
  • Cooperation has been added to its move pool.
  • Electric Storm has been added to its move pool.

• #048 – Kaku 
  • Humiliating Slap has been added to its move pool.
  • Turbine has been added to its move pool.
  • Frond Whip has been added to its move pool.
  • Urushiol is now learned at level 4.
  • Nimble is now learned at level 7.

• #049 – Saku
  • ATK has been increased 71 ⇒ 74.
  • DEF has been increased 68 ⇒ 72.
  • SPDEF has been increased 70 ⇒ 74.
  • Our original intention was for Saku to serve as a raid boss for this Season. However, we acknowledge that the absence of self-buffing tools and the removal of Bark Shield appeared to contradict this concept. We hope that with the addition of Petal Dagger at the start of the Season and this increase in base stats, Saku can find a new role where it performs better.

• #055 – Occlura
  • Clinch has been added to its move pool.
  • Hallucination has been added to its move pool.

• #056 – Myx
  • STA has been increased 59 ⇒ 61.
  • DEF has been increased 43 ⇒ 53.
  • HP has been increased 51 ⇒ 58.
  • SPD has been increased 65 ⇒ 68.
  • AoE techniques have become quite common these past seasons, which has become an issue even for Puppet Master Myx. Hopefully, these stat boosts can amp up Myx’s game, whether Puppet Master’s in play or not.

• #059 – Raican
  • SPDEF has been increased 54 ⇒ 57.

• #062 – Scarawatt
  • Defibrillate has been added to its move pool.
  • Earthbreaker has been added to its move pool.
  • Drought has been added to its move pool as a TC.

• #066 – Osuchi
  • Nito Seiho has been added to its move pool.
  • Uppercut has been added to its move pool.

• #067 – Osukan
  • Petrify has been added to its move pool.
  • Rockfall has been added to its move pool.
  • Base Jump has been added to its move pool as a TC.

• #068 – Osukai 
  • SPDEF has been increased 51 ⇒ 53.
  • Inner Spirit has been added to its move pool.
  • Osukai has been feeling the impact of the Slingshot tweak we introduced at the beginning of the season. Nonetheless, we believe that Temtem should find their balance based on their entire kit, rather than relying too heavily on just one piece of gear. By adding a touch of SPDEF and incorporating Inner Spirit into its move pool, we aim to enhance the offensive capabilities of Osukai. While these adjustments might seem modest, we want to make safe changes with this Temtem as it has  what we consider one of the strongest interactions in the game in the form of Sensei+Hook, which allows Osukai to scale while dealing substantial damage simultaneously.

• #070 – Pycko
  • Sand Storm has been added to its move pool.
  • Fiery Soul has been added to its move pool.

• #071 – Drakash
  • Fiery Soul is now learned at level 42.
  • Hellfire is now learned at level 76.
  • Dust Vortex has been added to its move pool.
  • We’ve been considering the idea of giving Drakash Dust Vortex for a while. However, we wanted to test it properly as it is a heavy-hitting technique and we didn’t want to overtune the Temtem. After observing how the Temtem performed following the initial buff at the start of the season, it became apparent that it needed something powerful to use before Fire Tornado came into play.

• #076 – Shaolite
  • Dim Mak has been added to its move pool.
  • Inner Spirit has been added to its move pool.
  • Cheer Up has been added to its move pool.

• #077 – Shaolant
  • Haito Uchi has been added to its move pool.
  • The support version of Shaolant that we buffed for this Season was missing a suitable option for the first few turns, something to kickstart the action on early turns. While Cooperation has its merits, it doesn’t quite cut it on the second turn. That’s where Haito Uchi comes into play. We’ve also added Cheer Up to the mix to further enhance its supportive toolkit, giving it a bit more impact in this role. Additionally, we’ve tweaked Composure to become available a bit earlier; this adjustment might help put a cap on the scaling of certain Temtem, but time will tell. We will keep an eye on this Temtem to see if it needs anything else for next season.

• #079 – Hocus
  • Horror has been added to its move pool as a TC.

• #086 – Magmis
  • Meteor Swarm has been added to its move pool.

• #090 – Galvanid
  • Electropunch has been added to its move pool.

• #091 – Raignet
  • Electropunch is now learned at level 40.
  • Thunder Strike is now learned at level 48.

• #096 – Gorong
  • ATK has been increased 71 ⇒ 75.

• #097 – Mitty
  • Nightmare Feed has been added to its move pool.

• #103 – Deendre
  • Water Cutting Lily has been added to its move pool.

• #105 – Toxolotl
  • Harmful Lick has been added to its move pool.
  • Virulent Gust has been added to its move pool.

• #106 – Noxolotl
  • Virulent Gust is now learned at level 50.
  • Harmful Lick is now learned at level 58.
  • Acid Reflux is now learned at level 66.

• #109 – Zephyruff
  • Noxious Bomb has been added to its move pool as a TC.

• #110 – Volarend
  • ATK has been increased 56 ⇒ 66.
  • After the implementation of the Anaerobic changes we’ve seen that Volarend was falling a bit behind the rest of the Temtem.  Beefing up its ATK should give it a solid boost in popularity, but in a much more balanced way. In addition, we think that this Temtem could help with common threats that have been seeing during the season, such as Hazrat or Oceara.

• #111 – Grumvel
  • Dust Vortex has been added to its move pool.
  • Petrify has been added to its move pool.
  • Sparks has been added to its move pool.

• #112 – Grumper
  • STA has been increased 50 ⇒ 55.
  • SPDEF has been increased 67 ⇒ 69.
  • Dust Vortex is now learned at level 50.
  • Electric Storm is now learned at level 63.
  • Earthbreaker is now learned at level 96.

• #117 – Droply
  • Flood has been added to its move pool.
  • Rockfall has been added to its move pool.
  • Ice Stalactite has been added to its move pool.
  • Soil Steam has been added to its move pool as a TC.

• #118 – Garyo
  • Rockfall is now learned at level 50.
  • Earthbreaker is now learned at level 78.

• #121 – Broccolem
  • HP has been increased 79 ⇒ 81.
  • SPDEF has been increased 73 ⇒ 77.

• #122 – Shuine
  • Crystal Deluge has been removed from its move pool.
  • Relax has been added to its move pool.

• #127 – Kalazu
  • Laundry has been added to its move pool as a TC.

• #129 – Adoroboros 
  • SPDEF has been reduced 112 ⇒ 107.

• #134 – Turoc
  • HP has been reduced 105 ⇒ 101.

• #147 – Mawtle
  • Plasma Beam has been added to its move pool.
  • Resin Trap has been added to its move pool.

• #148 – Mawmense
  • Plasma Beam is now learned at level 55.

• #151 – Minox
  • Blackhole has been added to its move pool.

• #152 – Minothor
  • Piezoelectric Blow is now learned at level 94.
  • Blackhole is now learned at level 68.

Techniques

• Leech
  • Damage has been increased 95 ⇒ 104.

• Leech (Synergy)
  • Damage has been increased 95 ⇒ 115.
  • Taifu is quite unexplored right now. We agree, however, that Leech does not have the potential we would like for it after the “rework”. We hope this buff will allow us to have more data about Taifu to see what possible changes it might need in the future.

• Rockfall
  • Damage has been increased 75 ⇒ 83.

• Rockfall (Synergy)
  • Damage has been increased 75 ⇒ 83.
  • Nerfing Turoc and Tactical Strike might not be enough to help the rest of Physical Earth Temtem. Rockfall should keep being a great technique on Turoc’s move pool but it should also be a better tool for the rest of Earth Temtem that have access to it.

• Hook
  • STA Cost has been reduced 24 ⇒ 19.
  • After changing Slingshot with the arrival of the new season, users of this technique have fallen in use substantially. The reduction of its Stamina cost should help some Hook users to improve in the meta while we analyze them for the next upcoming season.

• Diamond Fort
  • Hold turns have been reduced 3 ⇒ 2.
  • STA Cost has been increased 17 ⇒ 19.
  • The changes made to this technique didn’t quite meet our expectations, so we’re bringing back its original hold to see if this move has the value we originally wanted for it. Additionally, we’re keeping a close watch on certain users for potential adjustments in the upcoming season.

•  Misogi
  • Clear all Stage modifications effect has been removed.
  • Clear all negative Stage modifications effect has been added.

• Misogi (Synergy)
  • Clear all negative Stage modifications effect has been removed.
  • Clear all Stage modifications effect has been added.
  • After reading the feedback for this technique we’ve seen that the idea was good for stall/bulky Temtem. However, it might have posed a challenge in terms of usability due to a crucial effect being linked to a Synergy. This change should help to clear debuffs and allow Temtem to stay a bit more in battle to help them do their thing. The “reset” aspect will remain tied to the Synergy, ensuring its effectiveness in various scenarios.

• Sludge Gift 
  • STA Cost has been increased 9 ⇒ 13.

• Chain Heal
  • STA Cost has been reduced 23 ⇒ 18.

• Stone Wall
  • STA Cost has been reduced 18 ⇒ 15.

• Hyperkinetic Strike
  • STA Cost has been reduced 28 ⇒ 25.

• DNA Extraction
  • SPD Stage modification has been reduced 2 ⇒ 1.
  • Damage has been reduced 25 ⇒ 20.

• Hibernate
  • % STA recovery has been reduced 35% ⇒ 15%.
  • The main winner with the rework of Building Blocks, Yowlar, had to receive an adjustment in the form of a nerf for Hibernate. The HP recovery it was getting proved to be more than sufficient for this Temtem, so this change might help cut down on the time Yowlar spends in battles, all while maintaining a more balanced approach.

• Composure
  • Hold turns have been reduced 3 ⇒ 2.

• Digithreat
  • Hold turns have been increased 1 ⇒ 2.
  • STA Cost has been reduced 29 ⇒ 23.

Traits

• Tactical Strike
  • Damage increase has been reduced 16% ⇒ 12%.

• Refurbished
  • Regenerating turns have been reduced 4 ⇒ 3.

• Scavenger
  • Percentage of HP restored has been increased 17% ⇒ 20%.

• Team Elusive
  • Now it only activates when using a damaging move.

• Striking Transmog 
  • Damage reduction has been reduced 50% ⇒ 30%.

• Neurotoxins
  • Doom turns have been increased 3 ⇒ 4.

• Puppet Master
  • HP needed to be activated has been increased 40% ⇒ 45%

Gears

• Building Blocks
  • Turns needed to be enabled have been increased 3 ⇒ 4.
  • While we were quite pleased with the rework we implemented for this Gear this Season, it might be overperforming. We’re going to extend the number of turns required for the Gear to be activated, and we’re even considering a complete overhaul for the next Season. This Season’s rework had a notable impact on the game, and looking back at examples like Slingshot or Morale-Boosting Whip, we’ve come to the conclusion that providing “free” stats through Gears is something we want to steer clear of moving forward.

Temtem – Ver. 1.3.1

• Release date: April 17th 2023 (North America, Europe) / April 18th 2023 (Japan)
• Patch notes:

Temtem – Server-side update

• Release date: March 17th 2023 (North America, Europe, Japan)
• Patch notes:

New Stuff

• The new Challenge Modes are in.
  • Experience Temtem like never before with three new challenges delimited by extreme rules:
    • Nuzlocke Mode: You only get to catch the first 2 Temtem you see per route (1 Temtem each if you’re playing Co-op!). Each and every Temtem knocked out during battle will be released automatically.
    • Randomlocke Mode: Same rules as the Nuzlocke mode, but with randomized Tems, move sets and items.
    • Speedrun Mode: You must complete the story in as little time as possible. A clock will be timing each island and the general progress, and you’ll need to beat a mark set by Crema to consider the run a success.
  • You will be able to start a Challenge mode once you’ve completed the campaign story, or by unlocking it anytime through a very well-known videogame code (use your left thumbstick!). You can only have one Challenge run at a time, but you can end one and start the next with no restrictions. You will always start from zero.
  • The Challenge Mode runs have their own server, and a different save slot between the three of them. You’ll interact with other people attempting a Challenge run, including being able to co-op. This effectively means you’ll be able to have both your normal save and usual account, and a challenge save with a Challenge run at the same time.
  • You cannot trade during a Challenge run. You won’t be able to earn Tamer Pass experience during a Challenge run, due to technical limitations. You can PvP during a Challenge run, and your Tems won’t die, so you can safely enjoy it still. Saipark will exist and be open, but only the resident Tems will ever appear.
  • You can co-op in the Challenge Modes, but there are limitations:
    • For all modes, you can only co-op with someone who is playing the same Challenge mode as you; there can’t be a Tamer Level difference of more than 5 levels between both partners.
    • For Nuzlocke and Randomlocke, you’ll need to choose whether you’re playing solo or co-op at the beginning of the run: if you choose Co-op, you’ll only be able to tame one Tem per route instead of two; if you choose solo, you won’t be able to co-op during the run. This setting will continue for the duration of your run.
  • Challenge Modes have exclusive rewards for each of them, and you’ll only be able to obtain them if you conquer the challenge.
  • We’ve added some spicy new Kudos in relation to conquering the Challenge Modes, good luck!
• The doors of Nanto Labs are open!
  • • Exchange your Lumas for Luma Drops, a new currency. You’ll be rewarded more or less Luma Drops depending on the species, whether you’re the OT or not, and whether they’re Soulbound or not.
    • You’ll be use your Luma Drops in a new shop where you’ll be able to buy previously unavailable dyes, items like the TemCard X, and more goodies coming in the future.
• Of course, a new Season begins today!
  • • Clash of Tamers is a Season centered around the spirit and fierceness of competition, of working hard to be better, and other epic themes.
    • We’ve added a new set of cosmetic items to the Daily Shop pool, and in the Weekly Premium Shop as well!
• We’ve added all the 15 Backer characters for Backers with tiers Villager and Dojo Disciple. Some of them have been placed as non-mandatory NPC Tamers in some Dojos.

Improvements

• We’ve improved the loading time when exiting a battle on the Switch a bit more.
  • In our ongoing effort to improve the game’s performance on Switch, for this patch we put our focus on the loading times, which since 1.2.2 have been one of the main points of dissatisfaction.
  • Due to the other improvements carried out in the previous patch, the game was taking longer when exiting a battle because it was loading and unloading assets that weren’t needed. With the current change, repeating battles in the same environment should feel faster and the game will try to maintain the reused assets between battles in memory in order to optimize loading times.
  • Like we mentioned in patch 1.2.2, we’re going to continue working on improving memory performance on the platforms that require so.
• We’ve made a full rework to the untamed Tems spawn system:
  • The idea behind this change is to make encounter frequency more consistent and constant.
  • There should now be a bit more space between combat and combat, and you shouldn’t get an encounter right after a battle.
  • However, the longer you walk without an encounter, the higher the possibilities you find and encounter will get, so you won’t end up walking too long without an encounter.
  • In short, the range of variability has been reduced, so encounters should feel more constant and steady, and less dry or overwhelming.
  • Items related to spawn rates have also been tweaked to adapt to this rework; in practice this means they’ll work nicely, like before, in the optimal scenario, and way better than before in the worst case scenario.
• Likewise, we’ve also made some changes to the way the PvP timer works when a player gets disconnected:
  • If you disconnect from a competitive match, it will now use the extra time instead of the current turn time. This applies to both the pick&ban phase and the actual battle.
  • Also, turns will now last the same as they would for a connected player, instead of discounting time and rushing them.
• The duration of all Scent items has been doubled! Their price has also been reduced, check down below for the full list.
• Some previously alert NPCs will now be distracted and won’t stop to battle you as you walk by, only when you talk to them.
• The last encounter from the Finding Aina quest will now have the “Dojo Master” music track.

Balance

Economy

• All ETCs will now have the same chance to appear as a reward in all applicable loot pools.
• The Anak Sanctum and Highbelow Sanctum Lairs have gotten some buffs:
  • All runs of the Mythical Lairs will provide the rewards as if it were the first run of the week, Mythical egg included.
  • They will now reward 30% more Feathers upon completion.
  • The price of entry for these Lairs has been reduced from 2500 ⇒ 2000 Pansuns. The price of Lair Tickets has been reduced too.
  • Lair rewards now have a 118% increased chance of having an ETC, and a 37% reduced chance of having a Trait Hack.
• Similarly, Tamer’s Paradise activities have gotten some review:
  • The GritArena, DraftArena and TemSafari activities will now reward 30% more Feathers upon completion.
  • The Evershifting Tower activity will now reward 20% more Feathers upon completion.
  • The price of the Evershifting Tower, DraftArena, GritArena and DigiLair activities (the tries beyond the initial free Token) has been reduced by 1000 Pansuns.
  • The price of the TemSafari activity (the tries beyond the initial free Token) has been reduced by 2000 Pansuns, so from from 7000 ⇒ 5000 Pansuns.
• PvP activity required a little tweaking:
  • All Weekly and Daily PvP Challenges will now reward 30% more Pansuns and Feathers. Tamer Pass experience won’t be affected.
  • PvP battles’ will now reward 30% less Pansuns and Feathers. Tamer Pass experience won’t be affected.
  • PvP battles were way above any other activity in the game, and although this is something we want to perpetuate and agree with, the distance to other activities shouldn’t be that abysmal. Improving the Weeklies will make people more interested into and drawn to PvP, even if just to complete the Challenges, and will appeal to a different, more casual sector of the PvP players.
• All the cosmetic items available in Boutiques across the Archipelago have experienced a 25% price reduction. They will now be cheaper.
• Balms’ price has been reduced from 80 ⇒ 64.
• Balm+’s price has been reduced from 325 ⇒ 280.
• Revives’ price has been reduced from 500 ⇒ 400.
• Smoke Bombs’ price has been reduced from 120 ⇒ 70.
• Scents’ price has been reduced from 60 ⇒ 20.
• Super Scents’ price has been reduced from 320 ⇒ 150.
• Max Scents’ price has been reduced from 1200 ⇒ 500.
• TemCard+’s price has been reduced from 80 ⇒ 65.
• TemCard++’s price has been reduced from 325 ⇒ 275.

PvE

• We’ve adjusted some endgame Elite Kudos so that they’re a tad bit easier and more affordable to achieve, without them losing their Elite essence.
• The Weekly Challenge that was “Defeat 6 Tamers in the GritArena” has been changed to 5 Tamers.
• Naolin no longer has a Temtem with the Hypnotic Peg-Top Gear in their Archtamer pool.
• Yareni’s Volarend now has all 500 TVs on its spread.
• Percival’s Aohi now has all 500 TVs on its spread.

Temtem

Season 3 is here! The changelog for balance this patch could be one of the biggest we have ever had, so there’s a lot of stuff to unpack. There are many things we wanted to tackle, and some we just wanted to start work on, so there’ll be a bit of everything and some changes are going to be more meaningful than others.

We have reviewed almost every Temtem in game and made changes to its stats, Techs or Traits. Our main objective has been to dethrone the top tier Temtem, but not bury them, all while pushing new faces into the group of frequently-seen Temtem. You will discover 3 new Traits and a brand new Tech that were created to support this intention.

On top of that, we analyzed some mechanics that felt unfair to a majority of players and we have started taking action to test and measure the impact they really have in the game. The principal mechanics we have adjusted are Freeze and Healing. Both are going to be a little less free to abuse: Freeze has been capped at 2 turns, and healing has been reduced in a handful of techniques. We are going to keep an eye on them and, if needed, we’ll make adjustments on following seasons.

To close this intro, we’re already working on season 4! Our objective for Season 4 is to revisit Stall and its lack of interaction.

• #003 – Zaobian
  • SPD has been increased 51 ⇒ 63.
• #006 – Molgu
  • HP has been increased 79 ⇒ 82.
  • STA has been increased 47 ⇒ 55.
  • SPDEF has been increased 58 ⇒ 66.
  • Molgu has a lot of potential, but its typing was not helping its bulky design much. We hope that Molgu can stay in battle a bit more with the proposed changes and that it can use its tools more freely thanks to its new STA values and the changes to Splitter.
• #007 – Platypet
  • Water Blade has been removed from its movepool.
• #007 – Platimous
  • SPD has been increased 78 ⇒ 82.
  • After testing the changes done to Water Blade and the SPD of Platimous during the previous patch cycle, we want to bring back its lost SPD but we’ll still keep Water Blade from it as a fee.
• #011 – Loali
  • STA has been reduced 81 ⇒ 74.
  • SPD has been reduced 80 ⇒ 77.
  • SPDEF has been reduced 90 ⇒ 81.
  • Toxic Farewell has been removed from its traits.
  • Backhanded has been added to its traits: When attacking with a Status Technique, gets Invigorated for 2 turns.
    
  • Loali is one of those Temtem that have been performing really well, a bit too well. We had to adjust it a tad, but we’ll give it something in return: a new trait that could offer a different playstyle from what we’re used to with it.
• #012 – Tateru
  • Now learns Tenderness at level 3.
  • Now learns Scratch at level 1.
  • Even though there’s no substantial change to Tateru, the main Gears it takes advantage of have been hit this patch, so we think these changes should be enough to bring this Temtem closer to balance.
• #015 – Magmut
  • STA has been increased 53 ⇒ 58.
• #016 – Paharo
  • Tornado has been added to its move pool as an Egg Technique.
• #017 – Paharac
  • Hyperkinetic Strike has been removed from its move pool.
  • Grandpah has been a staple in Turbo teams for this past season. It will continue to do so, but more as a support rather than a multitasking Temtem with high impact. We have reworked Bully to help it and Skunch take advantages of new situations.
• #020 – Amphatyr
  • STA has been increased 42 ⇒ 57.
  • Amphatyr was one of those Temtem that looked like one thing and ended up being a completely different role. We wanted to give Amphatyr more time to support its allies and at the same time, we have improved Infectious so it can also support their teammates by negating opportunities to their rivals.
• #028 – Skunch
  • STA has been increased 62 ⇒ 67.
• #030 – Mouflank
  • STA has been increased 65 ⇒ 73.
• #033 – Tental
  • Madness Buff has been removed from its move pool.
  • These changes affect Nagaise, so we are going to talk about them as if they were for it. Madness Buff offers way too many tools to Nagaise, specially its Deceit Aura build. This change along with some adjustments to its signature tech and trait should make Nagaise feel a bit more decent than before but not as annoying as it was when it was released.
• #036 – Nidrasil
  • SPD has been increased 61 ⇒ 66.
  • ATK has been reduced 88 ⇒ 84.
  • DEF has been reduced 80 ⇒ 77.
  • Toxic Farewell has been removed from its traits.
  • Tri-Phytologist has been added to its traits: After attacking with a Physical Technique, the target gets Exhausted for 1 turn if it’s a rival or Invigorated for 2 turns if it’s an ally or itself.
  • Nidrasil has become one of the Temtem we could consider flexible and almost perfect for our idea of a balanced Temtem. The introduction of this new trait and some changes to its stats aims to round up an already interesting Temtem.
• #038 – Capyre
  • HP has been increased 55 ⇒ 65.
  • STA has been increased 55 ⇒ 61.
  • ATK has been increased 71 ⇒ 76.
  • SPDEF has been increased 47 ⇒ 49.
  • Capyre has a 0.04% winrate (wink wink) so it was clear it needed some love. Its main problem was that it was lacking in almost every stat, so these changes should give Capyre a much better chance to perform in battle.
• #041 – Zenoreth
  • STA has been increased 45 ⇒ 46.
  • Knockback has been added to its movepool.
  • Zenoreth now has more tools to go boom! We have changed Wrecked Farewell too, so going boom! should feel more rewarding.
• #049 – Saku
  • ATK has been increased 66 ⇒ 71.
    DEF has been increased 62 ⇒ 68.
• #050 – Valash
  • DEF has been increased 56 ⇒ 62.
  • SPDEF has been increased 56 ⇒ 62.
  • Determined has been removed from its traits.
  • Jack of all Trades has been added to its traits: When attacking with a Physical Technique, gets two stages of increased SPATK, and when attacking with a Special Technique, gets two stages of increased ATK.
  • Valash is a raid boss, that’s a fact. Determined was not helping Valash in any way, so we decided to give it a brand new trait so the players can unlock its raid boss potential from different angles.
• #051 – Towly
  • Hook Kick has been removed from its movepool.
    Oshi-Dashi has been added to its movepool as an Egg Technique.
• #052 – Owlhe
  • SPD has been increased 78 ⇒ 80.
  • Boomerang has been removed from its movepool.
  • Feather Gatling has been added to its movepool.
  • Owlhe was one of those Temtem that didn’t have many tools to excel in their role. We’ve adjusted some things here and there to make it feel as powerful as its mental counterpart.
• #053 – Barnshe
  • HP has been increased 50 ⇒ 57.
• #054 – Gyalis
  • HP has been reduced 79 ⇒ 74.
  • ATK has been increased 77 ⇒ 81.
  • Helicopter Kick has been removed from its movepool.
  • Gyalis was everywhere, and it will remain as one of the top Temtem, but Helicopter Kick was doing way too much work for this Temtem.
• #059 – Raican
  • HP has been increased 77 ⇒ 79.
  • STA has been increased 49 ⇒ 55.
  • SPDEF has been increased 50 ⇒ 54.
  • A lot of Fire Tems were seen this past season but Raican was not very frequent in those comps. Giving it more bulk and improving its signature technique should position this Temtem on a much healthier spot, and we could start seeing it some more.
• #063 – Scaravolt
  • ATK has been increased 57 ⇒ 60.
  • Embers has been added to its move pool.
  • Physical Scaravolt is a reality, embrace the truth.
• #065 – Hedgine
  • STA has been increased 43 ⇒ 48.
• #068 – Osukai
  • STA has been increased 48 ⇒ 54.
    ATK has been reduced 95 ⇒ 92.
    SPDEF has been increased 46 ⇒ 51.
• #069 – Saipat
  • STA has been increased 42 ⇒ 46.
  • DEF has been increased 55 ⇒ 60.
  • SPDEF has been increased 50 ⇒ 67.
  • Noxious Bomb has been added to its move pool.
  • Saipat is seeing some play as a bulky offense Temtem, so we would like to help this playstyle for it. We are going to keep an eye on this Tem to see how it performs after the changes, but we might have some plans in mind for its future.
• #074 – Tortenite
  • STA has been increased 52 ⇒ 55.
• #077 – Shaolant
  • SPATK has been increased 64 ⇒ 70.
• #080 – Pocus
  • DEF has been increased 40 ⇒ 45.
  • SPDEF has been increased 51 ⇒ 55.
  • Pocus should be able to weather the storm better now thanks to its brand new values on stats and a small buff to Rejuvenate, and we are opening a brand new horizon for it with the rework of Dreaded Alarm.
• #083 – Golzy
  • HP has been reduced 76 ⇒ 71.
  • ATK has been reduced 84 ⇒ 80.
  • Another top 3 usual suspect. These changes, along with some adjustments on its Techs and traits, should make Golzy a more manageable Temtem to face.
• #085 – Mushook
  • HP has been increased 67 ⇒ 71.
  • ATK has been increased 76 ⇒ 80.
  • SPDEF has been increased 43 ⇒ 48.
  • With the increasing population of Wind Temtem in the meta, Mushook was relegated to the background. Some tweaks on its stats should help the Tem deal with the birds.
• #086 – Magmis
  • Tenderness is now learned at level 5.
  • Fire Flame is now learned at level 1.
• #087 – Mastione
  • HP has been increased 76 ⇒ 80.
  • STA has been increased 62 ⇒ 68.
• #096 – Gorong
  • HP has been reduced 86 ⇒ 81.
  • DEF has been reduced 100 ⇒ 96.
  • Gorong has been one of the key hypercarries on Stall teams. We would like for it to continue being there for their chonky partner, but in a fairer way to their opponents.
• #098 – Sanbi
  • HP has been increased 71 ⇒ 75.
  • SPDEF has been increased 61 ⇒ 64.
  • Transient Echo has been added to its move pool: This Mental Physical Tech has one hold, high priority, costs 20 STA, inflicts 80 damage and reduces the number of Holds on the caster by one.
  • High Priority Techs for Mentals have been a very mentioned topic this past season. We are introducing Transient Echo to cover this for Sanbi, and making some tweaks to its stats to help its bulky offense role.
• #100 – Kuri
  • Clay Ball has been added to its move pool.
• #101 – Kauren
  • STA has been increased 45 ⇒ 54.
  • SPDEF has been increased 51 ⇒ 57.
  • Roar has been added to its move pool.
• #104 – Cerneaf
  • STA has been increased 52 ⇒ 56.
  • SPDEF has been increased 46 ⇒ 50.
• #110 – Volarend
  • SPDEF has been reduced 96 ⇒ 92.
  • Cold Breeze has been removed from its move pool.
  • Volarend was a frustrating Temtem to play against for many reasons: its combos with Freeze, the synergy it had with Slingshot and its Aerobic trait, its high SPDEF and the high impact Toxic Plume was having on games. All of these threats have been alleviated or removed to get a more fair fight against this Temtem.
• #112 – Grumper
  • STA has been increased 43 ⇒ 50.
• #121 – Broccolem
  • HP has been increased 74 ⇒ 79.
  • STA has been increased 63 ⇒ 67.
  • Gaia has been added to its move pool.
• #124 – Valiar
  • HP has been increased 56 ⇒ 60.
  • SPD has been increased 69 ⇒ 72.
  • ATK has been reduced 79 ⇒ 75.
  • Sanbi vs Valiar has been a topic for quite sometime within the community. With the revision done to both Temtem Sanbi should do the job of a bulky offense Temtem, while Valiar should feel more like a speedy support. This way the identity of them doesn’t overlap anymore and they can coexist in the meta.
• #126 – Loatle
  • SPD has been increased 61 ⇒ 65.
  • ATK has been reduced 79 ⇒ 75.
  • SPDEF has been increased 54 ⇒ 57.
  • Loatle is getting a second chance. It will continue doing good in Doom teams, even better, you could say, but we have added a new layer to its supportive kit with some changes to Voodoo. We hope to see this fella more often this new season.
• #131 – Tukai
  • Aqua Bullet Hell has been added to its move pool.
• #132 – Tulcan
  • HP has been reduced 62 ⇒ 59.
  • SPATK has been reduced 79 ⇒ 75.
  • Tulcan will remain as one of the top dogs of the game due to the utility it brings to the table, but we at least had to reduce a bit the offensive power it had, so the combination of both utility and damage doesn’t feel too much to handle.
• #133 – Tuvine
  • STA has been increased 47 ⇒ 49.
  • SPDEF has been increased 47 ⇒ 50.
• #135 – Tuwire
  • Reset has been added to its move pool.
• #141 – Pigepic
  • ATK has been increased 60 ⇒ 65.
  • DEF has been reduced 72 ⇒ 69.
  • SPDEF has been reduced 72 ⇒ 69.
  • Chain Heal has been removed from its move pool.
  • Pigepic is one of those Temtem we label as uninteractive. Having 4 non-damaging moves on its move pool should not be a thing. It has very powerful tools to keep helping as a support Temtem, but now the excessive healing potential should be gone. All of this along with a revamp of Friendship should bring Pigepic closer to a more interactive gameplay.
• #144 – Vulffy
  • HP has been increased 50 ⇒ 56.
  • STA has been increased 70 ⇒ 74.
  • We are hoping to see Vulffy more in the meta this next season and, fingers crossed, we hope we see Burglar builds more frequently after the changes implemented.
• #153 – Maoala
  • Transient Echo has been added to its move pool.
• #154 – Venx
  • ATK has been reduced 81 ⇒ 78.
  • DEF has been reduced 81 ⇒ 78.
  • SPATK has been reduced 81 ⇒ 78.
  • SPDEF has been reduced 81 ⇒ 78.
  • The pre-evo who lived. Venx feels more powerful and useful than its evolutions, to a point that it’s even more powerful than so many Temtem in the roster. We have done some small tweaks to its stats to position it on a healthier spot in the new meta.
• #156 – Vental
  • HP has been increased 55 ⇒ 60.
  • Psy Wave has been added to its move pool.
• #157 – Chimurian
  • STA has been increased 54 ⇒ 61.
  • ATK has been increased 62 ⇒ 65.
  • Although Chimurian was perceived as very strong after releasing it, the different nerfs it has received have left the Tem feeling underpowered at times. We are giving it some potential back and we’re providing it with new tools with the buffs to Glass Blade.
• #163 – Tyranak
  • HP has been reduced 78 ⇒ 76.
  • DEF has been reduced 74 ⇒ 71.
  • SPDEF has been reduced 76 ⇒ 72.
  • Tyranak was too much to handle this past season. It was too polarizing, and that should change. Cutting down its bulk as well as reducing the oppression its trait offers will leave this Mythical Temtem on a strong but more manageable spot.

• Hyperkinetic Strike

  • New effect: Adds 1 turn of Regenerating after being the target of a Toxic Technique.

Temtem – Ver. 1.2.2

• Release date: February 2nd 2023 (North America, Europe, Japan)
• Patch notes:

Temtem – Ver. 1.2.1

• Release date: January 9th 2023 (North America, Europe, Japan)
• Patch notes:

Important notice

• We’ve had to delete all the Showdown codes, except the eSports ones, due to a data conflict. Your teams haven’t been affected, you’ll just need to generate a new code, and, if you were using or posting it somewhere, replace that with the new one.
• Aqua Bullet Hell has accidentally been removed from your Umishi and Ukama, but you’ll have an empty technique slot and ABH will be in your learned techniques, so you can re-learn it immediately. We apologize for the inconveniences!

New stuff

• We have added chat to battles.
  •  You’ll see a new menu during battles from now on, with new icons for the Details, Battle Log, and the Chat with their assigned hotkey.
  • Chat will be hidden by default, and you can make it pop out by pressing the associated hotkey, just how the Battle Log works. Chat in battle is disabled for Ranked matches, in-game tournaments, and Dojo Wars, and available for friendly competitive matches and PvE.
• We’ve added the new music variations per island, this time to the competitive battle theme.
• The Egg Technique icon now appears in Techniques that are Egg Techs in the details of a Tem in Showdown.
• We’ve implemented a new icon that will notify you if there is something available to claim in events.

Improvements

• We have tweaked the idle battle cameras following the feedback provided by the community:
  • In order to reduce motion sickness in some players, we’ve slowed all camera movement to 1/3 of its original movement speed.
  • They will also start after 12 seconds of inactivity, as opposed to the previous 5 seconds of threshold. This will make them way less prevalent.
  • In the specific case of Koish fishing, we’ve removed most of the camera angles so that only cameras that focus on the Koish patterns appear. We have also developed some new cameras for this activity in particular that will make identifying the patterns and colors easier.
  • We know idle cameras have caused issues to some our players. Before we go through with disabling them, which would imply we stop receiving feedback and iterating on the feature, we’d like to give these changes a go to improve the main problems the cameras had. We believe the idle cameras add variety and richness to the game, so we’d rather polish them until everyone is happy than disable them without giving them a chance to be good.
• We have added some performance improvements to the Switch version. These improvements will be a huge help with the current crashes that the console is experiencing. But we’re not done yet, and we will be adding even more performance improvements for it in future patches.
• Tem Renaming Voucher is no longer automatically used when renaming a Temtem. Players will now always have the option to pay the name change with Pansuns instead.
• Players will now be able to use the Fruit Blender with Tems in the Temdeck too, not only the ones in the squad.
• The Fruit Blender will now show how the stats will change based on the TVs selected.
• Showdown Temtem will now always start with their SV value at 50 by default, instead of 0.
• We have added rarity indicators to customization items, like emotes, loading screens, battle intros, battle outros and battle outro music.
• The game will now show the gamepad buttons for each action when you press a modifier (a button that displays a set of hotkeys) in battle.
• We’ve added new notifications for the Trade House: when you sell something, and when an auction ends without the item/Tem selling.
• When you input a maximum quantity in one of the advanced options of the Temdeck and Trade House filters, it will now automatically select 0 as the minimum quantity.
• Added more information to the Victory screen at the end of a Ranked match in the case of winning because the opponent concedes or in the case of tying.
• Added a glowing effect to the claimable items of events, the same effect that is used in the Tamer Pass.
• We’ve made some improvements to entering text in some UIs, so it’s easier to understand if the text is not valid for any reason.
• We’ve made some performance improvements to the game’s UI.

Temtem – Ver. 1.2

• Release date: December 5th 2022 (North America, Europe) / December 6th 2022 (Japan)
• Patch notes:

New stuff

• A new Season begins today: Days of Yore.
  • Enjoy this medieval-themed Tamer Pass filled with imposing mounts, knights, bards, royalty, clergy and an old-timey new musical instrument.
  • A new set of items has entered the shop rotation, so keep an eye out for interesting new things!
  • Your Pass has returned to level 0. Remember you can check the resting duration of your Pass on the upper right corner.
  • Items in Season 1 Tamer Pass will join the regular rotation of the store in about a year.
• Ranked v2 has been implemented.
  • Ranked will now be determined by Seasons, the same ones that determine the Tamer Pass.
  • TMR has been hidden. You will instead see a new system of ranks and leagues: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Diamond and the Legend rank.
  • Bronze, Silver, Gold and Diamond ranks also have 3 sub-ranks each (called divisions), while Legend will have a public leaderboard where you’ll see your position compared to other Legend players.
  • Even though TMR is now hidden, internally the system still uses it. We have plans to make this data available via the API.
  • In order to enter a new rank, players must reach the base TMR set for that rank. However, a rank can only be lost by losing two consecutive matches and reaching the threshold for the previous rank TMR.
  • These ranks are calculated at the beginning of each season, and the idea is to calculate them based on the current population TMR spread.
  • Rewards per match are now based on your current rank, and overall have been buffed from what they were before this patch.
  • Seasonal rewards will now start being granted at the end of each season. These are a title that displays the highest rank you achieved, a seal for each rank you achieved, and a banner for each rank you achieved. These rewards will be different each season and will remain exclusive to each ranked season.
  • The TMR lost when losing a ranked match will now be calculated with the max value between your current TMR and the TMR of your rival. This effectively means that losing against someone worse than you won’t penalize you as much as it did before.
  • Also, the factor at which TMR gains and loses are calculated has been incremented, meaning matches will give (and subtract) more TMR in general. This will allow to have a bigger TMR spread along the leaderboard.
  • We’ve reduced the TMR multiplier in placement matches so they are now less decisive.
  • We’ve made some improvements to the matchmaking timings in order to reduce them when there is not a good opponent available. It will now match faster against worse or better opponents. The idea behind this is that is better to fight against someone non-optimal that not fight at all (or having to wait 20 minutes) and since TMR loses are now capped, it shouldn’t be as punishing as before.
  • TMR decay will now happen. Each week (at the weekly activity reset), Diamond and Legend players that have been inactive for the past week will get their TMR decayed. In order to calculate the TMR lost, the system will simulate a lost match against yourself and the value will be multiplied by 2. A notification will be sent to each user that has had their TMR decayed.
  • Tournaments will now use the player’s max TMR of the season to calculate the appropriate Tournament league, instead of the current TMR.
  • We’ve included a fixed set of daily and weekly challenges that will grant further rewards to active ladder players.
• Temtem Showdown has been added to the game.
  • Temtem Showdown is a PvP tool ingrained into the game that will allow you to create your PvP teams from scratch with no training needed. You will be able to access Showdown from the in-game menu.
  • As a result, auto-scaling has been disabled for ranked games.
  • You will now be able to edit your squads on the go, without needing to be on a Temdeck.
  • You can access Temtem Showdown from the beginning of the game.
  • Squads can now be shared and imported using short codes.
• A new Kudo category has been added: Elite Kudos.
  • Elite Kudos are a hardcore set of Kudos for the most daring, dedicated, and challenge-seeking Tamers.
  • Some previously existing Kudos have been moved into this category, and some are brand new.
  • New rewards have been created for these Kudos.
• Events have been implemented into the game
  • Events will consist in a set of quests and challenges that will grant you points to spend on thematic rewards, exclusive and specifically created for that event.
  • Events will have a defined duration that you will be able to check at all times on the Events menu.
  • The first Temtem event, Winterfest, will begin on December 12th.
• We have added a new colorblind setting for Koish fishing.
  • Koish all throughout the game will now display patterns apart from their usual colors.
  • Each pattern will be unique to a color+section of the tail, so you will be able to easily identify each color by the pattern and the tail where it’s placed.
• A new building opens its doors in Neoedo: the Beauty Center.
  • You’ll be able to change your character’s appearance in exchange for Feathers.
  • You will also be able to change your running and idle animations, and you’ll get 4 new ones to pick from, completely exclusive to the Beauty Center.
• Players can now change their name at the Citizen’s Bureau Central Offices in Neoedo in exchange for Feathers. The OT on Tems will update following said change.
• A new furniture item has been added: the Fruit Blender.
  • This item will allow you to change all the TVs of a Temtem in one single UI from the comfort of your home.
  • You will need to own the fruits to create a concoction that will immediately add or subtract the Temtem’s TVs according to your selection.
  • This furniture is given as a reward from the Fruiterer Kudo. Players that already obtained this Kudo should have the item in their inventories now.
• We have added 6 new competitive battlezones representing each of the 6 Archipelagic islands. These are randomly chosen each time the player enters a ranked match. Dojo Wars will still show the battlezone of that Dojo’s island, and PvE matches will still show the environment of the route. We’re also currently working on new battle music variations to go along these new battlezones.
• The previous competitive battlezone has also been tweaked and improved.
• We have added idle battle camera animations to Temtem. Enjoy different shots and angles while you wait or think your next move.
• You can now mark cosmetic items and dyes asfavorites and they will show up at the top of your customization list.

Improvements

• We’ve made some improvements to Koish fishing.
  • We’ve reduced the number of Koish color possibilities at the Nuru Lodge to make easier to complete the Weekly Koish Fishing activity. The number of possible colors remain the same at other wild places.
  • We’ve also reduced the number of minimum encounters required to ensure the 4/5 and 5/5 Koish for the Weekly Koish Fishing activity.
• We’ve turned Seals into a unique item.
  • Players will only be able to buy one copy of each Seal, and can equip the same Seal to any number of Temtem.
  • Extra number of copies of the same Seal have been refunded to the players that had them.
• Club vault items are now sorted like they are on the personal Tamer vault.
• Pro squads (previously known simply as competitive squads) can now be edited anywhere, even if you are not in a Temporium.
• We have added the Legend rank icon to the text displayed on the top 3 ranked player holograms at Tamer’s Paradise.
• When you move between Temtem entries on the Tempedia, the selector will now automatically skip the ones you have no information on.
• We’ve added “Victory” and “Defeat” labels when a player concedes on a Ranked match, and in battles versus NPCs that employ competitive ruling, like Dojo Rematches.
• We’ve added a fade in and a fade out effect to most of the UIs in the game.
• We’ve added a new animation for receiving rewards from a loot pool.
• We have changed some tutorials and System messages to reflect the new Ranked/Showdown feature instead of the previous system.
• We have balanced the audio levels for Temtem techniques and NPC dialogue expressions.
• We have polished and improved the audio ambience transitions between zones.

Balance

PvE

• We have added Telomere Hotfix – Trait Swaps to the Dojo Park loot pools.
• We have added Telomere Hotfix – Trait Swap and Telomere Hack – Trait Swap to the Tamer’s Paradise Feather shop.
• We have doubled the amount of Novas that premium Weekly Tamer Pass Challenges provided.
• Tamer Pass’ free Weekly Challenges will now also give Pansuns as reward.
• We have reduced the XP needed to advance through each level of the Tamer Pass, from 3300 ⇒ 2500. We’ve also incremented the Tamer Pass level boundary until which the player can get TP XP from defeating trainers, from level 20 ⇒ 25.
• Evershifting Tower now gives 9% more Feathers upon completion.
• All Evershifting Tower initial rooms will now grant an extra Growth Enhancer+.

• Archtamers’ Sanctum now gives 20% more Feathers upon completion.
• We have reviewed the builds for some of the Tems in Tamers’ Paradise activities that we’re correctly set up.

Temtem

Time for change: Rhoulder, Gyalis, Golzy, Minothor, Ukama and Tulcan had their fun, now it’s time for other Temtem to shine. Special Temtem will be seen more, and the era of Purgation domination is coming to an end, we hope. Electric Temtem will be electrifying once more.

• #013 – Gharunder
  • Defibrillate has been added to its movepool.

• #015 – Magmut
  • STA has been increased 45 ⇒ 53.

• #026 – Wiplump
  • SPATK has been reduced 95 ⇒ 88.

• #028 – Skunch
  •  ATK has been reduced 70 ⇒ 66.

• #031 – Rhoulder
  • HP has been reduced 90 ⇒ 83.
  • DEF has been reduced 91 ⇒ 86.
  • Rhoulder has been the absolute king of the last meta. Its base stats, the synergy with Reactive Vial and its trait Tardy Rush have made this Temtem one of the regulars. The changes to all of these things, as well as some changes to the techs it uses regularly, should leave Rhoulder on a healthier spot. It will still have its place on this meta where Electric Temtem are expected to be seen more often than before.

• #035 – Orphyll
  • Noxious Bomb is learnable as a Technique Course.

• #036 – Nidrasil
  • Noxious Bomb is learnable as a Technique Course.

•  #052 – Owlhe
  • STA has been increased 46 ⇒ 51.
  • Nito Seiho has been added to its movepool.
  • Owlhe is just in the opposite spot of Rhoulder: it has been the least picked Temtem this past meta. This Temtem was in need of some love and we are going to give it to them. We will keep an eye on it as we are aware of the similarities between Owlhe and Tutsu, but we felt that it was too rushed to make a big shift and split both Temtem into two completely different archetypes, plus we’re still lacking valuable data on Owhle.

• #054 – Gyalis
  • ATK has been reduced 85 ⇒ 77.
  • The most successful Temtem in the last meta is getting hit too. This Temtem has been too effective on both its offensive and its defensive playstyles. Even though it’s not going to be as oppressive as before offensively, it will still play a important role in this new meta as Electric Temtem are going to be more prevalent.

• #061 – Piraniant
  • Fluid Barrier has been added to its move pool.
  • STA increased 50 ⇒ 52.
  • We hope this Temtem earns its deserved spot on Stall compositions. There are not many Temtem that can buff SPDEF, so the addition of Fluid Barrier alone should give Piraniant a bit more time in the spotlight.

• #075 – Innki
  • SPD has been increased 73 ⇒ 80.

• #078 – Cycrox
  • Virulent Gust has been added to its move pool.

• #080 – Pocus
  • SPD has been increased 78 ⇒ 85.

• #085 – Mushook
  • SPDEF has been increased 41 ⇒ 43.

• #087 – Mastione
  • SPD has been reduced 52 ⇒ 50.
  • SPDEF has been increased 45 ⇒ 52.
  • Mastione has also been one of the least picked Temtem. We are still aiming at them becoming a bulky-offensive Temtem, so the changes made to their stats and the techs should reinforce a bit more this identity, specially on Solidifier builds.

• #089 – Ukama
  • SPATK has been reduced 76 ⇒ 72.
  • Come on mate, the other Water Temtem want to play too. Your parents say it’s their turn on the meta.

• #094 – Seismunch
  • ATK has been reduced 89 ⇒ 83.

• #112 – Grumper
  • STA has been increased 41 ⇒ 43.
  • Sparks has been added to its move pool.

• #116 – Yowlar
  • ATK has been reduced 80 ⇒ 74.
  • DEF has been reduced 82 ⇒ 77.
  • Yowlar still has an impressive win rate even with all the changes it has received in the past. This Temtem has been extremely oppressive since its birth, and we want to re-focus it as a bulk-offensive Temtem. They might not be seen as much as before, but we think players won’t miss them much if it’s just a short bit while we explore new options for it.

• #121 – Broccolem
  • Inner Spirit has been added to its move pool.

• #123 – Nessla
  • DEF has been increased 50 ⇒ 56.
  • STA has been increased 58 ⇒ 62.
  • HP has been increased 58 ⇒ 60.

• #129 – Adoroboros
  • HP has been increased 65 ⇒ 68.
  • DEF has been increased 42 ⇒ 47.

• #133 – Tuvine
  • Turbine has been added to its move pool.

• #135 – Tuwire
  • Turbine has been added to its move pool.

• #136 – Tutsu
  • ATK has been reduced 74 ⇒ 69.

• #157 – Chimurian
  • ATK has been reduced 67 ⇒ 62.

• Denigrate
  • It will now apply -1 SPATK to the target.

•  Psychic Collaborator
  • STA Cost increased 22 ⇒ 29.
  • Now the target gets +2 SPATK.
  • Along with some other changes, we wanted to offer more tools in this meta to have control over the SPATK. This past meta had more focus on Physical Temtem, it was time to leave a bit of space for Special ones.

• Psychic Collaborator (Synergy)
  • STA Cost increased 22 ⇒ 29.

• Drought
  • The order of the Status Conditions has been inverted. It will now first apply Seized, and then Exhausted.

• Piezoelectric Blow (Synergy)
  • STA Cost has been increased 36 ⇒ 39.

• Sparkling Bullet (Synergy)
  • Damage has been reduced 105 ⇒ 98.

• Frond Whip: 
  • Damage has been increased 146 ⇒ 153.

• Aqua Bullet Hell
  • Damage has been increased 67 ⇒ 89.

• Electric Storm
  • Damage has been increased 76 ⇒ 85.

• Wrenching Massage
  • Damage has been increased 89 ⇒ 92.

• Wrenching Massage (Synergy)
  • Damage has been increased 116 ⇒ 120.

• Water Blade
  • Damage has been increased 64 ⇒ 75.
  • Priority has been increased Normal ⇒ High.

• Goring
  • Damage has been reduced 120 ⇒ 95.
  • STA Cost has been increased 18 ⇒ 20.

•  Thunder Strike
  • Damage has been reduced 115 ⇒ 107.
  • The 2 turns of Exhausting on the caster have been removed.
  • This might be one of the biggest changes for this new meta. Electric Temtem are going to be relevant aside from Golzy and Minothor.

• Bright Beam
  • The order of the Status Conditions has been inverted. First it applies Alert, and then Evading.

• Virulent Gust
  • Damage has been increased 60 ⇒ 80.

• Virulent Gust (Synergy)
  • Damage has been increased 60 ⇒ 80.

• Double Gash
  • Damage has been increased 49 ⇒ 55.

•  Tornado
  • Damage has been reduced 135 ⇒ 125.
  • This tech has given Tulcan and Wiplump a lot of power during this past meta. Also, thanks to the rise of Electric Temtem, the users of this tech should feel more balanced.

• Blizzard
  • Damage has been increased 120 ⇒ 123.

• Martial Strike
  • It’s now a Physical Technique.
  • STA Cost increased 5 ⇒ 8.
  • Hold turns reduced 1 ⇒ 0.
  • It now grants +1 SPATK to the caster.

•  Purgation
  • STA Cost increased 16 ⇒ 18.
  • Priority increased Low ⇒ Normal.
  • Hold turns increased 0 ⇒ 1.
  • Maybe the whole reason why the last meta was so focused on Physical Temtem and why Temtem like Minothor have been seen so much. This change should leave Purgation as a strong supportive technique but it should be more manageable than before.

• Sparks
  • STA Cost increased 9 ⇒ 13.
  • It now grants 1 turn of  Invigorated.
  • Special Temtem fell off after the Stages rework, with these changes to Sparks we expect more presence of this type of Temtem.

• Wind Burst
  • Damage has been reduced 90 ⇒ 80.

• Tesla Prison
  • Damage has been increased 50 ⇒ 70.

• Refreshing Breeze (Synergy)
  • Now the caster can also be a target for this technique.

• Turbo Choreography (Synergy)
  • STA Cost has been reduced 23 ⇒ 20.

• Harmful Microwaves
  • Priority has been increased Low ⇒ Normal
  • STA Cost has been reduced 28 ⇒ 25
  • Digital Temtem were played only under one playstyle, and we wanted to see them outside this Digi-Core compositions to analyze their strengths and weaknesses for future changes. We will still keep an eye on this tech after the buffs to its damage.

• Harmful Microwaves (Synergy)
  • Damage has been increased 86 ⇒ 95.
  • STA Cost has been increased 14 ⇒ 18.
  • Type needed to activate its Synergy has been changed Digital ⇒ Electric.
