Release date: November 21st 2023 (North America, Europe, Japan)
Patch notes:

Balance

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.

#017 – Paharac

STA has been increased 30 ⇒ 35.

ATK has been increased 50 ⇒ 54.

#022 – Mudrid

SPATK has been increased 80 ⇒ 84.

#047 – 0b10

Look Out has been added to its move pool.

#065 – Hedgine

Binary Flood has been removed from its move pool.

Token has been added to its move pool.

ATK has been increased 78 ⇒ 82.

HP has been increased 66 ⇒ 69.

ATK has been increased 54 ⇒ 70.

SPATK has been reduced 68 ⇒ 54.

SPDEF has been increased 65 ⇒ 68.

#130 – Tuwai

Noxious bomb has been removed from its move pool.

#131 – Tukai

Noxious Bomb has been maintained in its move pool as a TC.

#139 – Vulor

ATK has been increased 49 ⇒ 61.

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`.

#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.

#151 – Minox

Hasty Lunge has been added to its move pool.

#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.

Fixed Galios not changing its Traits properly after fainting and reviving through them in competitive battles.

Fixed a desync in turns left for Status Conditions if Galios revives through any of its Traits.

Fixed a desync in Stamina recovery if we open the battle log while the text for resting is displayed.

Fixed the bonus damage or damage reduction from Hyperkinetic Strike not applying properly.

Fixed some wrong matchmakings happening during Dojo Wars.

Fixed a situation where the Pansun inventory could be shown on the Tamer’s Paradise Feather store, causing a mismatch of currencies.

Fixed some ETCs that were missing from the loot pools. The added ETCs are: Petal Dagger, Denigrate, Plasma Beam and Blue Screen.

Fixed being unable to see the details of an egg obtained as a loot pool reward if we’re using a controller.

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.

Lair Bonuses will now increase depending on the group size, to make Lairs more attainable.

1-player Lairs will have 3 times the Bonuses, and 2-player Lairs will have twice the Bonuses.

Balance

PvE

We’ve reduced the amount of Synstars needed to revive in some parts of the Mythical Lairs for all parties of 1 or 2 players.

This will only take place once you’re in the second half of the Lair.

Amount of Synstars needed 4 ⇒ 3.

We’ve reduced the possibilities of getting Neutral or Crystal Tems in the Pansun Sanctum Lair.

We’ve increased the possibilities of getting Water, Nature and Digital Tems in the Pansun Sanctum Lair.

The Nature to Toxic bonus has been changed to Toxic to Nature in the Pansun Sanctum Lair.

DEF and SPDEF of Lair Boss Galios has been reduced on a 15%.

We’ve adjusted the scaling up of Synstars required in DigiLairs.

As announced in 1.4, DigiLairs were going to require 1 extra Synstar, but unexpected implications caused the scaling to go haywire.

You’ll be required 10 Synstars in base difficulty, and 13, 15, 16 and 18 as you increase the difficulty and rewards.

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.

Cosmetics in the city boutiques have had their price reduced a 40%.

Ranked rewards have been adjusted slightly depending on whether you’re playing with a Pro Squad or a Showdown Squad:

Games played with a Showdown Squad will now provide slightly less rewards, while games played with a Pro Squad will now provide slightly more rewards.

PvP

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]

[Mental]

[Nature]

[Neutral]

[Toxic]

[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.

#143 – Koish

STA has been increased 55 ⇒ 61.

HP has been increased 51 ⇒ 57.

SPDEF has been increased 54 ⇒ 58.

ATK has been reduced 83 ⇒ 76.

Stream

STA Cost has been reduced 23 ⇒ 20.

Earth Stream

Damage has been reduced 95 ⇒ 85.

Neutral Stream

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!

Temtem

SPDEF has been increased 66 ⇒ 68.

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.

#037 – Banapi

#052 – Owlhe

HP has been increased 57 ⇒ 62.

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.

#074 – Tortenite

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.

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.

Damage has been reduced 95 ⇒ 85.

Neutral Stream

Damage has been reduced ~~105~~ ⇒ 85.

Swarm Aid

STA recovery effect has been removed.

Fixed damage when the caster’s HP is over 50% is 10%; fixed damage when the caster’s HP is below 50% is 5%.

New effect: Partner and caster are now healed by 5% when the caster has over 50% of their HP; partner and caster are now healed by 10% when caster’s HP is below 50%.

Swarm Aid now deals more damage when Waspeen is high on health, but heals more when Waspeen is low on health. The goal with this is to give Waspeen a more dynamic playstyle and a signature technique that feels a bit more meaningful.

Swarm Aid (Synergy)

STA recovery effect has been removed.

Fixed damage when the caster’s HP is over 50% is 15%; fixed damage when the caster’s HP is below 50% is 10%.

New effect: Partner and caster are now healed by 10% when the caster has over 50% of their HP; partner and caster are now healed by 15% when caster’s HP is below 50%.

Goring

Damage has been increased 95 ⇒ 102.

STA Cost has been increased 20 ⇒ 21.

Refreshing Breeze

Status removed have been changed ~~All~~ ⇒ Positive

SPDEF Stage modifications have been increased -1 ⇒ -2.

Piercing Wheel

Priority has been increased ~~High~~ ⇒ Very High.

Knockback

Damage has been increased ~~150~~ ⇒ 156.

Zen Meditation

Hold turns have been reduced 3 ⇒ 2.

STA Cost has been increased 9 ⇒ 14.

With the changes to Hypnotist and the fix we’ve done this past season to Blue Screen, we are bringing Zen Meditation to its previous hold but increasing its Stamina cost a bit.

Drool

STA Cost has been reduced 28 ⇒ 24.

Electric Storm

STA Cost has been reduced 29 ⇒ 26.

Horror

STA Cost has been reduced 20 ⇒ 18.

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.

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.

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.

Fixes

All platforms

Fixed a soft lock if Mimit uses Gamma Burst on the Randomlocke mode.

Fixed the issue that caused a soft lock when attempting to play a Challenge Mode.

Fixed being able to get stuck while surfing in Turquesa.

Fixed getting stuck in the pick and ban phase, followed by a black screen on Temtem: Showdown, if there were certain Tems on the Squads of any of the two players on the Ranked match.

Fixed an error while opening an Umbra egg.

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

DEF has been increased 42 ⇒ 44.

SPDEF has been increased 50 ⇒ 52.

#023 – Hidody

Dust Vortex has been added to its move pool.

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.

Morale-Boosting Whip

STA reduction has been reduced ~~25%~~ ⇒ 20%.

Invigorated turns have been increased 2 ⇒ 3.

Temtem – Ver. 1.4.0

Release date: June 19th 2023 (North America, Europe, Japan)
Patch notes:

New Stuff

Time for a new Season! Season 4, called Splash Up!, is all about pools, beaches, summer and its activities.

Season 4 will last from June 19th to September 25th. Remember you can see this in-game, on the upper right corner of the Tamer Pass!

Seasons coming after Season 4 will last a month longer. This is because we’d like to have more time to polish the content we put out, as some features have gotten out of hand and were becoming too big to cleanly launch in three months.

A new event!

Our first ever Pride event is now live, along with Season 4! Take part in the challenges to get rewards inspired by free love and self-expression, or show your support to your LGBTQ+ peeps. The event will last until July 3rd.

If you don’t feel like taking part in the event, but still would like to display your proud colors, we’re giving away banners inspired by the colors of some of the LGBTQ+ pride flags! You can redeem whichever you prefer (even all of them!), using these codes. Happy Pride, Tamers!

A new way of building Showdown teams is here:

There’s a new recommendation system! If you haven’t chosen a Temtem yet and are starting from zero, the system will show you the Tems that have the most overall success; once you pick a Temtem, it will show you the possible partners that have a great affinity with your in-progress team.

There are now two lists in this recommendation system: one tab named Competitive, and one tab named For Fun. The Competitive tab will show you the most played ones, and the ones with the most affinity between each other, while those in the For Fun tab cater to more fun, innovative playstyles and are a step below the most meta ones.

Once you pick a Temtem, you’ll now be offered 3 different choices: Customize, Build 1 and Build 2.

By selecting Customize you’ll get to edit your Temtem’s TVs, SVs, Techs and Traits as usual, and have complete freedom.

By choosing any of the builds you’ll get a pre-made, handmade build! These suggested builds were crafted by our balance team, and they try to cover at least one of that Temtem’s most frequent archetypes. These builds will only be offered for the last Temtem of every evolutionary line, or, of course, Tems that are a single evo stage. We’ll keep on updating these builds as the meta changes so they continue being competitive and good.

Players will now be able to choose a Luma in Showdown as long as they have an OT or Soulbound Luma belonging to that evolutionary line with perfected SVs (either 50 or 1), all TV assigned and all its Egg Techniques learned. This has been applied retroactively, so if you already have a perfected Luma, you should be able to use that species Luma form in Showdown!

Improvements

We’ve made a lot of changes to Dojo Wars! Welcome to Dojo Wars v2:

Dojo Wars will now happen only once per month, on the week that contains the last Sunday of that month.

The period when clubs can subscribe to a Dojo War is one week instead one day. It’ll be the whole week before Dojo Wars commence.

Dojo Wars finals will now require 9 players instead of 11 players.

Players will now earn individual rewards, on top of Club rewards, for each match won during any given Dojo War. The further they progress into a Dojo War, the better their individual rewards will be. These rewards include Feathers, Hotfixes, ETCs or even Novas.

The Dojo War system will now prioritize not matching two people again if they’ve just battled each other, even over the fact that they have the same amount of wins/losses.

Clubs will be penalized if they sign up for a Dojo War but don’t attend it. Pansuns will be deducted from their Club Vault, with the possibility of going into the negative. Clubs with a negative Pansun sum in their Vault cannot sign up for Dojo Wars.

The previous King of the Hill system that allowed current regents to only fight in the finals has been discarded. Regents will have to fight for the Dojo again from 0, like everyone else.

Instead of having a set schedule for each round, rounds will now start 5 minutes after the previous round’s last match ended. This will make the pace of DW quicker.

There will now be a Squad lock. It’s currently not working correctly due to a bug, but it’s in place all the same. The team you choose for the first match of a round will be the Squad you use for the entire duration of that round. There is a chance that you might be prompted to select a Squad after the first round, but regardless of which Squad you pick at this point, you will continue to use the Squad you locked in at the beginning of that round.

We’ve also made a lot of changes to the Premium Store:

The Premium Store will now have two featured items instead of three per week.

The Premium Store will now have eight daily items instead of four. Two of those items will be available in exchange for Feathers.

Mounts in the store (as well as the Tamer Pass) will now have a toggle to display their surf version in the store preview.

In-game tournaments have also gotten some attention:

They will now consist on 16 people, with a minimum of 13, instead of requiring 32 players with a minimum of 25.

The Kudo and achievement/trophy associated to taking part in an in-game tournament will now pop-up if the tournament you sign up for falls through because of lack of players, so players on the lower ranks can now be more at ease.

Following your feedback we’ve adjusted the Nalla quest (Coda: The Jubilee) so that successful Koish fishing isn’t a required activity anymore. This quest, which lets players access Tamer’s Paradise, will now only request any Koish from the Nuru Lodge.

We’ve added a new option in the Settings menu to enable or disable the idle battle cameras.

We’ve made some adjustments to the “Hold to run away” setting so that it now can be engaged on the first Temtem, instead of only applying when we performed the action on the second Temtem’s turn.

You will now only be able to retrieve items from the Club Vault of a Club if you’ve been part of that Club for at least 31 days.

We’ve added a new visual indicator for Gears that shows if a Gear has already been used or has been disabled. This will help clarify Gears that activate only once per battle, like Refreshing Diabolo, Gears that deactivate other Gears like Snare, or Gears that get disabled through status conditions like Seized or through Traits like Burglar.

However, please note there’s a current known bug where deactivated Gears won’t show as such until it’s their time to shine if there’s a Frightening Tyranak on the board. We’ll get it fixed asap, sorry!

We’ve added a new visual overexertion indicator. It will display in battle and in the Battle Log, but only once the turn ends!

We’ve made some changes to the Temtem Details’ UI and the TVs won’t be shown in different colors as their values increase or decrease, as we believed it to be confusing since in Temtem high doesn’t always equal good. SVs will still maintain the current color-coded system.

The Breeding UI has been improved to display more and better info. It will now show both parent’s available fertility, as well as a preview of the offspring’s fertility.

We’ve added a nifty outline to the UI on the Tems that are currently on the battlefield.

We’ve added a nifty new sound effect when claiming a Tamer Pass’ Weekly Quest.

When you reset a character on a given platform, and then use that same platform to do cross-progressing, the name of the character reset will be immediately available to use.

Game Balance

The TMR soft reset between Seasons has been changed from ~~(1000 + TMR) /2~~ to (2000 + TMR) /3

The new ranked system was creating TMR out of the blue, so to speak, so a TMR inflation process was happening. If we kept the reset as it was, the gap between the Legend players and the rest was becoming greater with each Season, to a point where it could be unsurmountable for newbies to reach. The soft reset is now a bit more aggressive to combat that, so your rank come S4 will be a bit lower than it would’ve have been.

PvE

Defeating K.Rex in the last turn of the battle, which used to result in a defeat, will now be considered a win even if the tower does the spoilery thing.

Likewise, we’re extending this to all PvE battles: when the match is a tie, it will count like a victory in your favor, granting an extra 1 HP to your last Temtem.

Economy

The price of teleporting Matter Drones has been reduced from ~~500~~ ⇒ 250.

Tornado is now available as an ETC item.

Temtem

#006 – Molgu

Firewall has been added to its move pool.

Execution has been removed from its move pool.

#008 – Platox

Misogi has been removed from its move pool.

Paralyzing Poison has been removed from its move pool.

#010 – Swali

Misogi has been removed from its move pool.

#012 – Tateru

STA has been reduced 85 ⇒ 82.

ATK has been reduced 78 ⇒ 75.

Stone Ball has been removed from its move pool.

In the 1.4 update we anticipated a decline in Tateru’s dominance due to changes impacting Mental Temtem and the loss of its key partner’s tool, Hyperkinetic Strike. Consequently, we approached Tateru’s changes with caution. Despite its expected decrease in tier placement, Tateru remained a preferred choice over other Earth Temtem due to its access to Stone Ball. This imbalance in counters led us to remove Stone Ball from Tateru’s movepool to address the issue.

#013 – Gharunder

DEF has been increased 45 ⇒ 47.

#014 – Mosu

Head Charge is now learned at level 20.

Rage has been removed from its move pool.

#022 – Mudrid

Turbo Choreography has been removed from its move pool.

#023 – Hidody

Bark Shield is not learned by level anymore. It’s now an Egg Technique.

Relax has been removed from its move pool.

Sacrifice has been removed from its move pool.

Misogi has been removed from its move pool.

#024 – Taifu

Toxic Farewell has been removed from its traits.

Resilient has been removed from its traits.

Natural Conversion has been added to its traits.

Safe Retreat has been added to its traits.

Chain Heal has been removed from its move pool.

Restore has been removed from its move pool.

Taifu has been an exceptionally powerful Temtem, but in a way that could be considered unhealthy. It seemed to function solely as a Leech bot, draining a fixed amount of HP and then boosting its defenses with Bark Shield. Our objective with this mini-rework for Taifu was to address this issue, making it more viable and fair, while also providing it with a dual identity where both builds can thrive and capitalize on its high Special Attack stat, while still maintaining its role in Stall compositions.To achieve this, we have introduced a new trait for each build, allowing us to clearly define two distinct versions for Taifu. Additionally, we have modified the Leech technique to no longer deal fixed damage: instead, it now interacts with Taifu’s high Special Attack stat and heals based on the damage inflicted. This change should contribute to a healthier game environment and make it less of an “auto-win” situation if Taifu manages to set up.

#025 – Fomu

Hyperkinetic Strike has been added to its move pool as an Egg Technique.

Hurricane has been removed from its move pool.

Hyperkinetic Strike was in dire need of a new Temtem capable of learning it as an egg move. After carefully considering several potential candidates, we decided that Wiplump would be the ideal choice. This Temtem doesn’t have the ability to scale its own speed, which historically has been a problem associated with this tech. However, with the addition of the Plethoric trait, Wiplump receives a significant boost without becoming an imbalance due to the conditionality tied to this trait.
We also considered buffing Hurricane, but doing so would contradict the core concept of avoiding tools that enhance the speed of Hyperkinetic Strike Temtem. Therefore, we ultimately chose Hyperkinetic Strike over Hurricane as we believed it would provide greater overall value to Wiplump.

#027 – Skail

Misogi has been removed from its move pool.

#032 – Houchic

Lullaby has been removed from its move pool.

#034 – Nagaise

DEF has been increased 55 ⇒ 58.

#038 – Capyre

Restore has been removed from its move pool.

#041 – Zenoreth

HP has been increased 71 ⇒ 73.

ATK has been increased 72 ⇒ 83.

DEF has been increased 87 ⇒ 91.

Zenoreth’s move pool has a lot of potential on its Physical side, which can greatly benefit Wrecked Farewell. Despite the minor buffs that Glass Blade received in the latest patch, we believe that this Temtem still lacks power on turn 0 with this particular build. However, we remain hopeful that by boosting its Attack stats, Zenoreth will be able to establish itself a distinct role that deviates from the current popular build, allowing it to carve out its own niche in battles.

#043 – Aohi

Misogi has been removed from its move pool.

#045 – Babawa

Chain Heal has been removed from its move pool.

#046 – 0b1

Digithreat is not learned by level. It’s now an Egg Technique.

Burrow has been removed from its move pool.

#047 – 0b10

HP has been increased 61 ⇒ 67.

DEF has been increased 64 ⇒ 68.

SPDEF has been increased 68 ⇒ 71.

Restore has been removed from its move pool.

#048 – Kaku

Petal Dagger has been added to its move pool as an Egg Technique.

Bark Shield has been removed from its move pool.

Toxic Spores has been removed from its move pool.

#049 – Saku

Sanative Rain has been removed from its move pool.

This particular set of changes may initially seem puzzling. Saku has generally been perceived as a Temtem with a focus on bulk and offense, prioritizing its own well-being over that of its teammates. The combination of Kaleidoscope and Lifeful Sap alone did not provide sufficient tools to transition Saku into a supportive role for Stall Temtem. Therefore, with these adjustments, Saku should now assume the role of a carry that excels in Stall compositions, offering a more impactful presence in battles.

#050 – Valash

Kesa Gatame has been removed from its move pool.

Stone Wall has been removed from its move pool.

#052 – Owlhe

Kesa Gatame has been removed from its move pool.

#053 – Barnshe

Misogi has been removed from its move pool.

#057 – Raiber

Roar has been removed from its move pool.

#061 – Piraniant

ATK has been increased 77 ⇒ 79.

Ice Cubes has been added to its move pool.

Restore has been added to its move pool.

Refreshing Breeze has been removed from its move pool.

Sanative Rain has been removed from its move pool.

Due to the changes made to Purgation, Piraniant has lost some of the utility it brought to various teams, particularly in countering Doom. Consequently, Babawa has emerged as a more prominent choice, overshadowing Piraniant in its designated role. To maintain the balance and functionality as it was before, we have granted Piraniant the ability to learn Restore, which allows it to cleanse Doom. Furthermore, adjustments have been made to the conditions for Energy Reserves, enabling Piraniant to unleash its offensive capabilities earlier in battle. These changes aim to restore Piraniant’s viability and ensure it remains a valuable option within its role.

#063 – Scaravolt

Defibrillate has been added to its move pool.

Fiery Heist has been removed from its move pool.

Our goal is to make Scaravolt a viable choice for both special and physical sets, embracing its versatility as a Temtem. We have gradually been introducing tools to enhance the capabilities of physical builds, ensuring we don’t restrict ourselves to a single playstyle.
By popular demand, we have adjusted Half Full to provide a +2 Special Attack boost. Additionally, with recent adjustments affecting Turoc and the removal of Stone Ball from Tateru, we anticipate Scaravolt gaining popularity as a reliable counter to Nagaise, offering a strong solution to the challenges posed by that particular Temtem.

#068 – Osukai

Misogi has been removed from its move pool.
Kesa Gatame has been removed from its move pool.

#069 – Saipat

HP has been reduced 92 ⇒ 75.

STA has been increased 46 ⇒ 55.

SPD has been increased 70 ⇒ 85.

ATK has been increased 80 ⇒ 85.

SPATK has been reduced 70 ⇒ 55.

SPDEF has been reduced 67 ⇒ 61.

Toxic Affinity has been removed from its traits.

Shinobi Tactics has been added to its traits.

Nito Seiho has been added to its move pool.

Misogi has been removed from its move pool.

The initial changes to Saipat in version 1.3 received positive feedback, but its overall performance suffered due to inherent weaknesses. To better align with Saipat’s “speedy ninja duck” concept, we have adjusted its base stats and techniques accordingly. Additionally, we have introduced a new trait that enhances its identity and replaced the previous Toxic Affinity trait.

#071 – Drakash

HP has been increased 64 ⇒ 66.

DEF has been increased 45 ⇒ 49.

SPATK has been increased 83 ⇒ 86.

#072 – Crystle

Restore has been added to its move pool.

Stone Wall has been removed from its move pool.

Crystallize has been removed from its move pool.

#076 – Shaolite

Composure has been added to its move pool.

Misogi has been removed from its move pool.

Hook has been removed from its move pool.

Gaia has been removed from its move pool.

#077 – Shaolant

HP has been increased 47 ⇒ 51.

5PPEH has been removed from its move pool.

Shaolant provided one turn of evasion but seemed uncertain about its role thereafter. Its toolkit has been somewhat lacking, and its identity remained poorly defined. However, with the upcoming Season’s planned changes to Stall, we recognized an opportunity to establish Shaolant as a valuable support Temtem for carries and a noteworthy inclusion in Stall compositions due to its assortment of utility tools.

#078 – Cycrox

DEF has been increased 61 ⇒ 64.

Wastewater has been removed from its move pool.

Cycrox is typically found in stall teams, occupying a specific niche where it performs admirably. However, we aim to make playing Cycrox more engaging by expanding its capabilities beyond simply using Wastewater to apply Doom. These changes also intend to make Cycrox more manageable for players in lower ranks.

#079 – Hocus

Psychosis has been removed from its move pool.

#080 – Pocus

Time Split has been removed from its move pool.

It’s evident that Pocus has been exceptionally powerful in version 1.3, and one of the primary concerns revolves around the combination of Time Split and Hypnosis within its kit. In addressing this issue, we were faced with two options: either nerf Time Split, which would significantly impact struggling Temtem like Vental, or remove Time Split from users who have access to sleep-control tools. Considering similar situations in the past, such as Rusher+Hypnosis, we chose the latter approach. Furthermore, we have also removed Psychosis from Hocus and Pocus’ move set to further refine its overall identity.
Given these changes, a nerf to Rejuvenate doesn’t appear necessary, especially since it would adversely affect Myx, a Temtem that has already faced its fair share of setbacks.

#083 – Golzy

Kesa Gatame has been removed from its move pool.

#084 – Mushi

Paralyzing Poison has been removed from its move pool.

#088 – Umishi

Turbo Choreography has been removed from its move pool.

#089 – Ukama

Laundry has been removed from its move pool.

#091 – Raignet

HP has been increased 68 ⇒ 75.

DEF has been increased 69 ⇒ 74.

SPDEF has been increased 50 ⇒ 57.

Composure has been added to its move pool.

After observing the positive reception of the Saipat buffs in version 1.3, we decided to apply a similar approach to another Temtem. In this case, instead of pushing the limits, we opted for a set of buffs that would enhance the intended role of the Temtem. During the testing phase, Raignet demonstrated potential as both a supportive presence and a durable combatant. We sincerely hope that these changes carry over into your gameplay experience and that Raignet finds its rightful place as a support and bulky bruiser.

#092 – Smazee

Misogi has been removed from its move pool.

#097 – Mitty

Matter Teleport has been added as an Egg Technique.

Hypnosis is not learned by level and it’s now an Egg Technique.

Paralyzing Poison has been removed from its move pool.

Bamboozle has been removed from its move pool.

Time Split has been removed from its move pool.

#098 – Sanbi

Matter Teleport is not learned by level and it’s now an Egg Technique.

So, regarding the changes to Sanbi, we took into account the concerns raised about sleep control users combined with Time Split during the previous season. Following the same approach as with Pocus, we have decided to remove Time Split from Sanbi’s move pool. Additionally, there has been a longstanding discussion about how Sanbi tends to overshadow Valiar in various aspects. To address this, we have further differentiated the two Temtem by removing Bamboozle from Sanbi’s moveset. This change aims to emphasize Valiar’s role as a support Temtem, while keeping Sanbi focused on its offensive capabilities.

#099 – Momo

Sanative Rain has been removed from its move pool.

Zen Meditation has been removed from its move pool.

Restore has been removed from its move pool.

#100 – Kuri

Block has been removed from its move pool.

Restore has been added to its move pool.

#102 – Spriole

Petal Dagger has been added to its move pool.

#104 – Cerneaf

Sanative Rain has been removed from its move pool.

Cerneaf, while possessing potential, suffered from outdated design choices that limited its effectiveness. The previous implementation of Settling penalized Cerneaf for swapping out and its Stamina issues further hindered its performance.
To address these issues, we have made changes to improve Cerneaf’s gameplay. The addition of Petal Dagger provides it with a reliable damage option. Our goal is to transform Cerneaf into a more dynamic Temtem, capable of seamlessly transitioning in and out of battles while maintaining its late-game carry potential.

#106 – Noxolotl

Toxic Gas has been removed from its move pool.

Refresh has been removed from its move pool.

#107 – Blooze

Toxic Slime has been removed from its move pool.

#108 – Goolder

Venom Spread has been added to its move pool.

Restore has been added to its move pool.

Toxic Gas has been removed from its move pool.

Charcoal Wall has been removed from its move pool.

Goolder, the classic stall Temtem, underwent a move pool evaluation to address overlapping techniques. Similar to our approach with Piraniant, Goolder will retain Doom cleansing through the addition of Restore. However, we also aimed to make Goolder more interactive and less passive.
To achieve this, we introduced new Techniques that complement its existing move pool, potentially encouraging Tamers to invest in boosting its offensive stats. The goal is to create a Goolder that strikes a better balance between its Stall capabilities and active participation in battles.

#110 – Volarend

ATK has been increased 51 ⇒ 56.

Wind Burst has been added to its move pool.

#111 – Grumvel

Toughen has been removed from its move pool.

#112 – Grumper

Dust Vortex has been added to its move pool.

Tesla Prison has been added to its move pool.

Restore has been removed from its move pool.

Grumper is a prime example of the type of support Temtem we envision in Stall compositions. It excels at buffing its allies with Stone Wall and Sparks, while also possessing the newly added Dust Vortex, which boasts high base power and serves as a defensive tool against threats that could otherwise force its teammates out of battle. This allows Grumper to create more opportunities to utilize its support techniques effectively.
Additionally, we included Tesla Prison as an additional support tool for Grumper. While it may not appear as a direct buff for Grumper in Stall compositions, its purpose is to provide a stamina-efficient means for activating Inductor without relying solely on Thunder Strike. Overall, these changes aim to enhance Grumper’s capabilities as a supportive force within Stall teams.

#113 – Ganki

Misogi has been removed from its move pool.

#114 – Gazuma

HP has been increased 46 ⇒ 49.

SPD has been increased 67 ⇒ 75.

DEF has been increased 43 ⇒ 49.

Restore has been added to its move pool

Hurricane has been added to its move pool.

Laundry has been removed from its move pool.

Gazuma was in need of a small tweak to its base stats, particularly in terms of its bulk and speed. The previous stats were insufficient for its intended role, hindering its overall performance. To address this, we have increased Gazuma’s speed. This adjustment aims to allow Gazuma to function more effectively as a support Temtem without necessarily requiring maximum speed investment to avoid being outsped by its Digital counterparts.
Recognizing Gazuma’s compatibility with Digital cores, we saw an excellent opportunity to introduce Hurricane as a new addition to its move pool. To enhance the offensive coverage of Gazuma and its users, we have significantly buffed the power of this technique. This change should provide Gazuma with a valuable tool to bolster its offensive capabilities and make it an even more formidable presence in battle.

#115 – Oceara

Laundry has been removed from its move pool.

#116 – Yowlar

Misogi has been removed from its move pool.

Block has been removed from its move pool.

#119 – Broccolini

Hook Kick has been added to its move pool as an Egg Technique.

#120 – Broccorc

Block has been removed from its move pool.

#121 – Broccolem

ATK has been increased 60 ⇒ 63.

Mithridatism has been removed from its traits.

Marathonist has been added to its traits.

During our testing phase, we observed that this particular Temtem shows promising potential as a bulky attacker. Recognizing the need for an egg Tech user of Hook Kick, similar to Hyperkinetic Strike, we have granted Broccolem access to this technique to enhance its physical set.
Additionally, after experimenting with Mithridatism and making some adjustments, we concluded that it was not the ideal trait for Broccolem. Also, considering the potential confusion it could cause for new users who capture a Swali early on, we have decided to revert the changes made to that trait, so we’ve removed the regenerating turns. Instead, we have introduced Marathonist as a new trait for Broccolem, which has proven to be highly effective in scrim battles.

#122 – Shuine

HP has been increased 43 ⇒ 47.

DEF has been increased 49 ⇒ 52.

Crystal Deluge has been added to its move pool.

Sacrifice has been removed from its move pool.

Relax has been removed from its move pool.

When evaluating Stall and support Temtem, we took into consideration the need to avoid redundant effects in their move pools. This led us to assess the situation with Shuine and the choice between Sacrifice and Quartz Shield. While both techniques offered similar benefits, we preferred Shuine to remain in battle rather than perform a few actions and then leave.
To enhance Shuine’s versatility and proactive nature, we have removed Relax and introduced Crystal Deluge. This change allows Shuine to retain its sleep control capabilities while encouraging it to actively engage in buffing allies and controlling opponents. With these adjustments, we aim to provide a more engaging and dynamic experience when using Shuine in battles.

#124 – Valiar

Nightmare Feed has been added to its move pool.

Intimidation has been removed from its move pool.

Blackhole has been removed from its move pool.

Composure has been added to its move pool.

In our pursuit to ensure each Temtem has a distinct role and unique traits, we’ve focused on refining Valiar’s gameplay. To differentiate Valiar from Sanbi and enhance its support capabilities, we have made adjustments to its move pool. Blackhole, a technique more suited for offensive coverage, has been replaced with Nightmare Feed. This change aligns Valiar with its supportive role and introduces added durability, especially when paired with sleep control techniques like Hypnosis.
Furthermore, we recognized the value of providing support options for Valiar. In situations where Intimidation conflicted with Ultrasound and Bamboozle, we made a clear choice to prioritize Valiar’s ability to aid its allies.

#126 – Loatle

HP has been increased 84 ⇒ 86.

STA has been increased 51 ⇒ 61.

SPDEF has been increased 57 ⇒ 62.

#127 – Kalazu

Humiliating Slap is not learned by level and it’s now an Egg Technique.

Toxic Slime has been removed from its move pool.

#128 – Kalabyss

Toxic Skin has been removed from its traits.

Toxic Farewell has been added to its traits.

#129 – Adoroboros

HP has been increased 68 ⇒ 70.

DEF has been increased 47 ⇒ 50.

Lullaby has been removed from its move pool.

Pollution has been removed from its move pool.

#131 – Tukai

SPD has been increased 65 ⇒ 70.

DEF has been increased 49 ⇒ 52.

SPDEF has been reduced 78 ⇒ 75.

#137 – Kinu

HP has been increased 47 ⇒ 50.

Denigrate has been added to its move pool as an Egg Tech.

Lullaby has been removed from its move pool.

#141 – Pigepic

Debris Typhoon has been added to its move pool.

#142 – Akranox

Paralyzing Poison has been removed from its move pool.

Restore has been removed from its move pool.

Akranox, like some other Temtem, will be observed closely in the wake of the Slingshot changes. While the extent of its reliance on Slingshot is less clear, we will monitor its performance during the first half of the season. Adjustments, if needed, will be made to maintain a balanced gameplay experience. Stay tuned for updates on Akranox and related changes.

#144 – Vulffy

Chain Heal has been removed from its move pool.

Burrow has been removed from its move pool.

#145 – Chubee

Blue Screen has been added to its move pool as an Egg Tech.

Plasma Beam has been added to its move pool as an Egg Tech.

Chain Heal has been removed from its move pool.

Cheer Up has been removed from its move pool.

#146 – Waspeen

Toxic Slime has been added to its move pool.

Binary Flood has been added to its move pool.

Generify has been removed from its move pool.

We acknowledge the ongoing challenges with Waspeen. While we have made some changes for this season, we are not fully satisfied with the results. Rest assured, we have further plans for Waspeen in the upcoming 1.5 update. Please consider the current changes with caution, as we will be revisiting and making additional adjustments to Waspeen in the near future. We are also aware of the imbalance between Royal Jelly and Wax Bath, and have made adjustments to Wax Bath to align it with the defensive role of the Temtem.

#147 – Mawtle

Spores is not learned by level and it’s now an Egg Technique.

Shy Shield has been removed from its move pool.

#148 – Mawmense

Sanative Rain has been removed from its move pool.

#149 – Hazrat

HP has been increased 52 ⇒ 54.

SPD has been increased 76 ⇒ 78.

#158 – Arachnyte

Execution has been removed from its move pool.

#160 – Monkko

Kesa Gatame has been removed from its move pool.

#161 – Anahir

Warm Cuddle has been added to its move pool.

Sharpening has been removed from its move pool.

Magma Cannon has been removed from its move pool.

#162 – Anatan

Flaming Meteorite has been added to its move pool.

Fiery Soul has been removed from its move pool.

We recognized Anatan’s potential as a powerful win condition in stall compositions or even as a formidable raid boss. While it already performed well in this role, we felt it needed an additional tool to excel in late-game destruction without relying solely on the expensive Mineral Hail.

#163 – Tyranak

Shelter has been removed from its move pool.

#164 – Volgon

Restore has been added to its move pool.

Techniques

STA Cost has been increased 17 ⇒ 25.

Misogi (Synergy)

Clear All Stages removed.

New effect: Clear All Negative Stages modifications.

Regenerating turns have been reduced 2 ⇒ 0.

We went too far with Misogi this past season, as it essentially became another Reset. Along with Laundry, we’ve made some changes to their synergies to instead be tech options you can bring on certain Temtem to help against buffing/debuffing strategies, while restricting the access to them so they don’t counter these strategies entirely.

Toxic Slime

New effect: Applies the Poison Status Condition for one turn.

STA Cost has been increased 14 ⇒ 18.

Blue Screen

STA Cost has been increased 16 ⇒ 21.

Priority has been increased ~~Very Low~~ ⇒ High.

Target has been changed ~~Single Target~~ ⇒ One Team.

Blue Screen is now much more powerful, with a significant payoff for having its user wait so many turns to use it. We hope that this new version of Blue Screen can be used to give Stall teams a turn or two of space to establish themselves and begin to turn around and/or close out a game in their favor.

Data Corruption

STA Cost has been reduced 22 ⇒ 17.

Toxic Gas

New effect: Applies the Poison Status Condition for one turn.

STA Cost has been reduced 29 ⇒ 22.

Humiliating Slap

New effect: Now this technique has a Synergy.

Damage has been reduced 95 ⇒ 78.

[New] Humiliating Slap (Synergy)

Type needed to activate the Synergy: Crystal.

Effect: It applies -2 DEF and 2 turns of Isolated on the Target.

After the rework of the Stage system, Humiliating Slap lost its viability as a result of being changed to a -1 DEF debuff. To revive its power and make the Crystal type more relevant in teambuilding, we have introduced a synergy that enhances its effectiveness. This change aims to restore the prominence of Humiliating Slap and provide more strategic options when constructing teams.

On Burn:

We have made adjustments to techniques that apply the Burn status condition. Our intention was to maintain the utility and benefits that Burn provides, such as chip damage and increased survivability, while also ensuring that it does not become a central strategy around which teams are built. To achieve this, we have reduced the number of turns the Burn status lasts. These changes were carefully considered, taking into account factors such as damage, priority, number of targets, hold, and usage.

Hellfire (Synergy)

Burn turns have been reduced 2 ⇒ 1.

Rockfall

STA Cost has been reduced 28 ⇒ 24.

Rockfall (Synergy)

Burn turns have been reduced 2 ⇒ 1.

STA Cost has been reduced 28 ⇒ 24.

High-Pressure Water

STA Cost has been increased 17 ⇒ 19.

High-Pressure Water (Synergy)

Burn turns have been reduced 3 ⇒ 2.

STA Cost has been increased 17 ⇒ 19.

Priority has been increased ~~Normal~~ ⇒ High.

Stone Ball

STA Cost has been reduced 34 ⇒ 32.

Stone Ball (Synergy)

Burn turns have been reduced 2 ⇒ 1.

STA Cost has been reduced 34 ⇒ 32.

Synergy type changed ~~Fire~~ ⇒ Digital.

This is it on Burn!

Ice Cubes

Priority has been increased ~~Normal~~ ⇒ High.

New effect: Applies 1 Turn of the Cold Status Condition.

Venomous Claws

Damage has been increased 50 ⇒ 51.

STA Cost has been increased 7 ⇒ 9.

Priority has been increased ~~Normal~~ ⇒ High.

Nicho Sai

Damage has been reduced ~~135~~ ⇒ 110.

STA Cost has been reduced 34 ⇒ 26.

Diamond Fort

New effect: Nullified the user for 3 turns.

Hold turns has been increased 2 ⇒ 3.

Paralyzing Poison

Trapped turns have been reduced 2 ⇒ 0.

New effect: It applies -2 SPATK and -2 ATK.

Hold turns have been increased 2 ⇒ 3.

Poison turns have been reduced 4 ⇒ 3.

STA Cost has been reduced 23 ⇒ 15.

Paralyzing Poison (Synergy)

Trapped turns have been reduced 2 ⇒ 0.

New effect: It applies -2 SPATK and -2 ATK.

STA Cost has been reduced 23 ⇒ 15.

Paralyzing Poison has been repositioned as a slow HP burner and a debuff in one. Its intended use is to land it on an opposing carry to effectively take them out of the game and create space for the Stall team to take over.

Winter Call

Cold turns have been reduced 2 ⇒ 0.

New effect: It applies 2 turns of Frozen to everyone but the user.

New effect: It applies +3 ATK to the caster.

Hold turns has been increased 3 ⇒ 5.

STA Cost has been reduced 23 ⇒ 20.

Let’s be honest, how many of you have clicked this move before? For a “signature” move, this technique has never been good. In the past we’ve seen that Yowlar performs very well with self buffing techs, but when losing Show Off it lost too much in comparison to what we expected. Winter Call has been changed to create space and set Yowlar up as a win condition in the later stages of the game, and help it close the matches.

Kesa Gatame

New effect: It applies 3 turns of Trapped.

STA Cost has been increased 15 ⇒ 24.

Execution

Hold turns has been increased 3 ⇒ 4.

Health percentage needed to trigger the execution has been increased ~~35%~~ ⇒ 45%.

Rush

Hold turns has been increased 0 ⇒ 1.

STA Cost has been reduced 18 ⇒ 15.

Roar

SPATK Stage reduction has been increased 1 ⇒ 2.

On Purgation and Restore:

After the addition of Purgation to the game, the Doom status condition has been a very very niche tool with a very accessible tool to counter it. To resolve this, we’ve removed the Doom cleansing part from the Tech, as it already provides enough utility with its +2 ATK, and moved the removed effect to Restore, one Technique that wasn’t seeing that much usage. It is important to note that Restore cannot target the user, so the Doom player now has a game plan available in being able to Doom the Restore user first and then close in on other Temtem with the Restorer out of the way.
These changes were decided later during the development of the new Season, so the changes to these two Techs won’t be reflected on their VFX, but we already have them ready for the next Season or, if possible, the next patch. We’ve also changed Purgation’s name to reflect this change.

Purgation

Name changed to Beef Up

It no longer removes the Doom Status Condition from the target.

STA Cost has been reduced 18 ⇒16.

Restore

New effect: Removes the Doom Status Condition from the target.

That’s it on Purgation and Restore!

[New] Petal Dagger

Type: Nature.

Attack Type: Physical.

Damage: 75.

STA Cost: 13.

Hold turns: 0.

Priority: Normal.

Single Target.

Bamboozle

Hold turns has been increased 0 ⇒ 1.

STA Cost has been reduced 21 ⇒15.

We wanted to avoid the constant 50/50 situations of who’s going to receive the Bamboozle. Although we know that it is a Technique that has a clear use, which is to protect the carries, we want this to be done in a more planned way and not in a spammable way. This also should help a bit to do something against Nagaise + Goolder on the first turn.

Toxic Plume

Hold turns has been reduced 2 ⇒ 1.

STA Cost has been reduced 23 ⇒ 20.

Toxic Plume (Synergy)

Hold turns has been reduced 2 ⇒ 1.

STA Cost has been reduced 18 ⇒ 15.

ATK Stage reduction has been reduced from 2 ⇒ 1.

Our goal with the Toxic Plume changes last season was to preserve its power and reduce the no-brainer of just clicking it when it came up. So, we chose to raise the hold and the technique at -2 ATK. This change didn’t land the way we wanted it to, so we are trying a different approach, hitting the immediate impact instead.

[New] Composure

Type: Neutral.

Attack Type: Status.

STA Cost: 22.

Hold turns: 3.

Priority: Normal.

Target: All.

Effect: Remove all Status Condition and Stage Modifications from all the Temtem on the battlefield.

Digithreat

STA Cost has been increased 23 ⇒ 29.

Digithreat (Synergy)

STA Cost has been increased 23 ⇒ 29.

Doom turns have been increased 3 ⇒ 4.

During conversations about Doom we realized that Digithreat was pushing out Techniques that applied Doom with Hold 2 and above, as it provided a similar effect multiple turns earlier. This was disruptive to our plans for Stall, so we are hitting its efficiency to encourage these high Hold Techniques to see play and to give the opponent more space to think about how to clean the Doom.

Hurricane

Damage has been increased 67 ⇒ 77.

STA Cost has been reduced 29 ⇒ 20.

Hurricane (Synergy)

Damage has been increased 77 ⇒ 92.

STA Cost has been reduced 29 ⇒ 20.

SPD Stage increase has been increased from 1 ⇒ 2.

Swarm Aid

Exhausted turns have been reduced 1 ⇒ 0.

New effect: Source recovers 5% STA.

Swarm Aid (Synergy)

Exhausted turns have been reduced 1 ⇒ 0.

New effect: Source recovers 10% STA.

Electromagnetism

Exhausted turns have been reduced 3 ⇒ 2.

SPD Stage reduction has been increased from 1 ⇒ 2.

Priority has been reduced ~~Very High~~ ⇒ Normal.

Martial Strike

STA Cost has been increased 11 ⇒ 15.

Priority has been increased ~~Normal~~ ⇒ High.

Extinction

New effect: It applies 2 turns of Burn to the target.

Doom turns have been reduced 4 ⇒ 3.

Hold turns has been increased 2 ⇒ 3.

STA Cost has been reduced 34 ⇒ 26.

Extinction has been reworked to regain its status as a team-defining technique. With an increased hold and reduced Doom timer, Extinction becomes a more pressing threat that demands immediate attention. The addition of a burn effect adds defensive utility, as countering the Doom now requires two statuses. These changes aim to elevate the impact and strategic importance of Extinction in battles.

Hasty Lunge

Damage has been increased 80 ⇒ 90.

Hasty Lunge (Synergy)

Damage has been increased 80 ⇒ 90.

Zen Meditation

Target has been changed ~~Self~~ ⇒ One Team.

Hook

STA Cost has been reduced 26 ⇒ 24.

Traits

[New] Natural Conversion

Offensive Nature type techniques deal 10% less damage, while using any other non-nature type technique deals 25% more damage.

[New] Safe Retreat

Once per battle, when leaving the battlefield, the Temtem receives 2 turns of Regenerating.

Water Custodian

New effect: The user gets SPATK[++] when redirecting a technique.

The 15% damage reduction has been removed.

The balance between Nagaise’s Water Custodian and Deceit Aura has always been complicated. We believe this change to Water Custodian is more in line with the role it performs with this trait and can serve as a relief after losing Madness Buff.

Energy Reserves

HP percentage required for activation has been increased 40 ⇒ 45.

[New] Shinobi Tactics

High priority techniques deal 10% more damage.

Settling

Previous effect no longer works.
New effect: At the end of the turn, after each 2 consecutive turns in battle, the holder gets +1 ATK when a new turn starts.

Anaerobic

SPATK Stage reduction has been reduced 2 ⇒ 1.

SPDEF Stage increase has been reduced 2 ⇒ 1.

Anaerobic, like Jack of All Trades, was scaling too much, too fast. Anaerobic Volarend builds were using their stat buffs to snowball a little faster than we’d like, so, to keep it in line with other traits that affect stats, we reduced its scaling now that Toxic Plume is going to be a bit more spammable. Volarend is still one of those Temtem in the top 5 of most valuable Temtem, so we expect it to keep being in the higher tiers despite the changes.

Half Full

SPATK Stage modifications have been increased 1 ⇒ 2

Mithridatism

Regenerating turns has been reduced 1 ⇒ 0.

Wax Bath

Previous effects no longer work.

New effect: Wax Bath decreases the damage the holder takes from Fire Techniques by 25% and invalidates the effects of the Burn Status Condition.

Tactical Strike

Damage increase has been reduced ~~20%~~ ⇒ 16%.

Jack of All Trades

ATK Stage increase has been reduced 2 ⇒ 1.
SPATK Stage increase has been reduced 2 ⇒ 1.
Jack of All Trades, and Valash by extension, have warped the 1.3 meta more than we’d like. The version we shipped was too much compared to what we expected. We know that this is a big change and we might see a drop in Valash’s usage. We are ready to make some possible adjustments to its base stats in case of need, but leaving Jack of All Trades as it is now.

Toxic Skin

Now works only once per turn.

Toxic Skin saw a large rise in play once it got changed to retaliate against both sides on the attacking spectrum. It has become too efficient, so we are limiting the impact it can have on a game.

Gears

Building Blocks

Old effect no longer works.

New effect: Increases +1 DEF and +1 SPDEF for every 3 turns the Temtem remains on the battlefield.

This item had the same issue Settling had, so it was obvious the solution should be the same. This change should help with clarity and it should help with the utility of the item. We will keep an eye on it to make sure it isn’t overbearing in stall compositions.

Hacked Microchip

Previous effects no longer work.

New effect: Damage done to Digital Temtem is increased by 15%.

Another polarizing Gear. It very rarely saw any play, and if it did, it enabled something unhealthy for the game. We’ve changed this gear to have a completely new effect that can’t be abused in the way, while still maintaining its originally intended identity as an anti-digital gear.

Redirection Device

Old effect no longer works.

New effect: When the holder receives damage from a Digital Technique, it deals 20% of the damage received to the caster of the Tech.

This Gear had the same impact on the game as the Hacked Microchip, and it is related to one of the hottest topics in competitive Temtem: unpredictability. Digital Temtem were greatly affected by this Gear. Taking into account how other similar Gears have influenced the game (such as the original Bait), we have learned our lesson and decided to completely remove the redirection effect. We have established a new rule for ourselves that no gear will ever have a redirection effect again.
This change, along with the Hacked Microchip, will be closely monitored to prevent Digital Temtem from becoming uncontrollable.

Morale-Boosting Whip

It no longer grants +1 SPD to the ally.

New effect: When entering the battlefield, the ally gets 1 turn of invigorated.

STA loss has been reduced ~~35%~~ ⇒ 25%.

Slingshot

Previous effects no longer work

New effect: Damage done with techniques with a priority Low or Very Low is increased by 8%.

Acknowledging the persistent issues surrounding the Slingshot gear, we are aware that it has caused frustration among players and has had a significant impact on Temtem’s balance. Throughout our attempts to address this gear, we have encountered challenges in finding a satisfactory solution. Various iterations we explored either disrupted game balance or presented other gameplay concerns.
For the time being, we have implemented a new version of the Slingshot gear as a temporary measure. This will allow us to gather data and assess its performance in the game. Moving forward, we will continue to work on finding a permanent solution for Slingshot. We understand the importance of reaching a resolution that satisfies the community without causing further disruption. Therefore, we plan to use future patches to carefully address the issues and ensure a balanced and enjoyable experience for all players.

Temtem – Ver. 1.3.1

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

New Stuff

We’ve added an indicator for the Nuzlocke and Randomlocke modes that will show you the number of captures left for the zone you’re currently in. It’s located next to the Minimap.

We’ve added an Species Clause to the Nuzlocke and Randomlocke modes:

When running into a Temtem they have already tamed before as the first encounter on any given zone, the player can defeat it or run away without wasting one of their allowed encounters.

If the player decides to capture that Tem despite already having it, it will count as a valid encounter and it’ll consume one of the allowed encounters.

The game will check for the entire evolutive line, so if you have a Granpah in your squad and encounter a Paharo, you will be able to defeat it without using one of your allotted encounters.

We’ve added new internal rules to the Techniques of starter Temtem to prevent insta-failed runs in the Randomlocke mode.

Starters must now have at least one Technique that fulfills all of these requisites: Damage greater than 1, Hold 0 and STA Cost less than 20.

These changes will be applied to all existing Challenge Runs, and any Challenge Run created from now onwards.

Improvements

We’ve changed the message you get when trying to capture a Temtem once you’d surpassed the capture limit in Nuzlocke and Randomlocke modes. It’s now a new message created specifically for the Challenge Modes.

The Anahir given to the player during the story will now be full HP in the Nuzlocke Mode, and the random Temtem given instead of Anahir will follow suit in the Randomlocke Mode.

We’ve improved and clarified the process of choosing a name for your character. It should now be more clear when the name you’ve picked is already in use or otherwise not fit to be picked.

The Trait and Technique textbox is now scaled based on the description text.

Balance

Economy

The price in Novas of all Premium musical instruments and Premium emotes has been reduced by 40%.

We’ve adjusted the Luma Drop rewards given by the species located in the Tuwai Shrines. They will now reward higher amounts of Luma Drops.

Temtem

These changes were meant to be included with patch 1.3, but didn’t make it in due to a bug. After checking the competitive community’s feelings on it, we’ve decided to include them in this patch to place us closer to the idea of balance we had for this Season.

#101 – Kauren

STA has been increased 45 ⇒ 54.

SPDEF has been increased 51 ⇒ 57.

#121 – Broccolem

HP has been increased 74 ⇒ 79.

STA has been increased 63 ⇒ 67.

Gaia has been added to its move pool.

Temtem – Server-side update

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

Additional notes: none.
Source: Crema Games (Twitter)

Temtem – Ver. 1.3.0

Release date: March 13th 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.

Techniques

DNA Extraction

Priority has been increased ~~Very High~~ ⇒ Ultra.

This change, combined with the ones done to Striking Transmog could balance a tad the usage difference between Striking and Landing Transmog we are seeing in the meta right now.

Turbo Attack

Damage has been increased ~~115~~ ⇒ 130.

STA Cost has been reduced 32 ⇒ 30.

Physical Digital Temtem were missing some damage on many Techniques. We have tackled this for a few Techs, starting with Turbo Attack.

Hologram

STA Cost has been reduced 14 ⇒ 10.

Cyberclaw

Damage has been increased 80 ⇒ 90.

Cage

STA Cost has been reduced 27 ⇒ 21.

STA Cost has been reduced 21 ⇒ 20.

Tenderness

Hold turns increased 0 ⇒ 1.

STA Cost has been increased 8 ⇒ 13.

ATK Stage reduction has been increased 1 ⇒ 2.

Tenderness was a mere reflection of what it used to be. These modifications should bring some memories of the past back, but this time it will be a bit more contained.

Heavy Blow

STA Cost has been reduced 12 ⇒ 9.

Wind Blade

Damage has been increased 40 ⇒ 67.

Spores

STA Cost has been reduced 6 ⇒ 5.

Gust (Synergy)

STA Cost has been reduced 28 ⇒ 19.

Trapped turns have been increased from 1 ⇒ 2.

Damage has been reduced ~~170~~ ⇒ 165.

STA Cost has been increased 27 ⇒ 32.

Meteor Swarm

Damage has been increased 80 ⇒ 85.

Warm Cuddle

Damage has been increased 53 ⇒ 70.

Soul Shout

STA Cost has been reduced 34 ⇒ 27.

Melee Special Temtem were struggling to impact the game due to STA management. Reducing the STA cost for Soul Shout should help its users alleviate this issue.

Block

STA Cost has been increased 18 ⇒ 23.

Madness Buff

STA Cost has been reduced 22 ⇒ 15.

Hyperkinetic Strike

SPD multiplier has been reduced.

The synergy this technique has in Turbo teams is great, so great that we felt that it could be too much. We are adjusting its power so it doesn’t get out of hand on the late game.

Kick

STA Cost has been reduced 8 ⇒ 5.

Head Ram

Damage has been reduced ~~100~~ ⇒ 90.

Roots

Priority has been increased ~~Normal~~ ⇒ High.

Rush

STA Cost has been reduced 21 ⇒ 18.

Savage Suplex

STA Cost has been increased 28 ⇒ 29.

Energy Manipulation

STA Cost has been increased 12 ⇒ 15.

Energy Manipulation (Synergy)

STA Cost has been increased 12 ⇒ 15.

Nagaise’s Fury

Double Gash

Damage has been increased 55 ⇒ 60.
STA Cost has been increased 7 ⇒ 9.

Turbo Choreography (Synergy)

STA Cost has been increased 20 ⇒ 24.

We think we can all agree that Turbo is one of those Techs that build team. Even though this change doesn’t seem that relevant, it will punish running several Wind Temtem to activate this Synergy.

Gaia

It no longers heals 20% of HP.

New effect: It applies 2 turns of Regenerating.

Lifeful Sap

STA Cost has been increased 23 ⇒ 26.

Crystallize

New effect: It applies 2 turns of Immune.

Bully

The previous effects no longer works.

New effect: At the start of the turn, the holder loses 15% of their max HP.

Momo wasn’t being a good Temtem. Bad Temtem! Stabmaster is now nerfed.

Mithridatism

Damage reduction has been increased ~~20%~~ ⇒ 22%.

Temtem – Ver. 1.2.2

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

Important notice

We’ve taken this chance to re-synchronize the status of the Tempedia and the Kudos. This should improve, and hopefully eradicate, any discrepancy between the Kudos that involve capturing Tems and Lumas, and your actual Tempedia number. This is an issue we’ve been after for a while, so please let us know if you still experience any bug with it.

Improvements

We’ve improved the issue with crashes on the Switch.

Most of the crashes on Switch were happening due to memory issues. The game would use up all the memory available in the console (the amount varies depending on the console), and then it’d crash. We’ve implemented a series of optimization changes that will substantially ameliorate the current issues.

Crashes will still happen from time to time, but now that we’ve dived deep into the issue we will be carrying out more optimization in future patches, so as to improve performance even more.

We have made some improvements and changes to the dye system:

We’ve added a confirmation pop-up when trying to apply a dye to a cosmetic.

We have added a confirmation pop-up when trying to remove a dye from a cosmetic.

Players cannot use the same dye twice in the same slot of a cosmetic; the game will now show a pop-up error when attempting to do so.

A preview of the dyes will now be shown at the Tamer Pass UI and the Premium Store UI.

We have added a new label to dyes in the Tamer Pass UI and Premium Store UI to clarify they’re a one-time use item.

Dyes were the source of a lot of community feedback and unrest. With these changes we hope to make the experience better and easier to navigate. This doesn’t mean dyes are coming back to the Premium Store, as we’re still deciding whether that’s the right place form them or not.

We have reworked Skail’s animations so they look better and our little dude has more prep in its step.

The Dulcimer instrument now has a new texture.

Balance

Stowaway no longer has a Temtem with the Straw Shield gear in their Archtamer pool.

We have reduced the Co-op bonus experience from ~~20%~~ to 15%.

Since launch we’ve been monitoring the experience gained by playing alone and the experience gained by playing in Co-op, and we’ve come to realize the initial bonus we implemented was a bit too strong, and was causing an imbalance between the two. Tamers playing in Co-op were over-leveled and had an advantage over Tamers playing solo. We want to offer all playstyles a balanced and fair experience, so we’ve tweaked the percentage a little bit.

Wild Umishi and Ukama no longer have Water Blade in their move pool, following the changes made to these Tems in 1.2.1.

Fixes

Fixed a softlock when defeating the Digilair boss.

Fixed a case where players could get stuck in a black screen after a battle in some places, for example at The Highbelow.

Fixed the chat automatically swapping to the Local tab when entering buildings or leaving combat.

Fixed the Tamer Pass’ Weekly Challenge about buying or selling at the Trade House for a value of 10k Pansuns, that could not be completed by buying before the fix.

Fixed that Temtem on the fourth, fifth and sixth slot of a player’s Squad were receiving EXP and TVs through the Co-op Bonus even when that Temtem had the Ignoramus Cloak equipped.

Fixed not being able to clear the notifications that were sent manually by using the “Clear all notifications” button.

Fixed the scroll in the Cosmetics’ menu not working properly if there was an empty row at the end.

Fixed Tihani having two Temtem with the Sweatband gear.

Fixed the props of some emotes not being displayed in the Shop preview.

Fixed the Settings’ UI overlapping with the Ranked UI that appears after a Ranked match if the Player had Settings opened while their opponent conceded.

Fixed that the Club Banner colors were being changed just by hovering over their icons instead of by clicking the buttons.

Fixed that, when changing cosmetics, the new one was keeping the old one’s dye colors for a few frames.

Fixed the description of the technique Lifeful Sap to better explain that it gives 5 turns of regeneration.

Fixed the description of the technique Hallucination showing the wrong status condition in the description.

Changed the name of the Magma Eruption seal to something that better reflects the seal animation.

Fixed the Subscribe prompt appearing in sections of the Trade House where it doesn’t have functionality.

Fixed a typo in the title Surferfolk in English.

Fixed some localization bugs in dialogues with NPCs in Portuguese

Fixed level numbers overlapping the “Lv.” text when playing in French or Chinese.

Fixed that the “Ready for Picnic” table furniture was not localized in English.

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.

Balance

PvE

Dojo Rematches and Archtamers teams have been revisited and modified to match the current meta.

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.

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.

It will now grant +1 DEF and +1 SPDEF.

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.

Cooperation

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.

Quartz Shield

STA Cost has been increased 9 ⇒ 15.

Gears

Reactive Vial

Nullified turns have been reduced 3 ⇒ 2.

Healing has been reduced ~~15%~~ ⇒ 8%.

Bait

Immune and Invigorated turns have been reduced 3 ⇒ 2.

Along with Reactive Vial and Fake Beard, this Gear was one of the most valuable ones during this past meta. We hope this change will leave Bait at a more balanced spot.

Tucma Mask

Damage reduction has been reduced ~~20%~~ ⇒ 8%.

It now reduces the effects of the Poison Status Condition by 1 turn.

Pillow

Healing has been increased ~~10%~~ ⇒ 15%.
