Temtem – Ver. 1.8.2

Release date: December 9th 2024
Maintenance: Yes (more details)
Patch notes:

New Stuff

A new pop-up message has been created for the Randomlocke mode, informing you that breaking co-op during a battle will cause you to lose that randomlocke run.

Improvements

We’ve made it so you can complete the Kudos and Weekly Challenges of completing a Radar if you capture the Luma at some point.

They will still work if you complete the 300 encounters, but now we’ve added a completion condition for players who are unable to complete all 300 encounters because they find the Luma before.

We have modified Dojo Parks furnishing so there is always a straight path to the entrance.

Dojo Parks that had furniture and decoration set in that path will have it returned to their inventory. You’ll see them once you enter Edit mode.

We have adjusted the Triangle Head hat to have fixed dyes.

Balance

PvE

The Techniques to Mythical Lair Bosses have been adjusted to better match their tamable versions.

PvP

Temtem

#010 — Swali

Allergic Spread is now learned at level 27

#011 — Loali

Photosynthesis is now learned at level 35

Plague is now learned at level 49

Resin Trap is now learned at level 94

We wanted to equip Loali with better techniques in the early stages of the game, so Tamers can better enjoy the campaign with this Tem.

#049 — Saku

Bark Shield has been added to its tech pool at level 73.

#050 — Valash

Undermine has been removed from its tech pool.

Double Edge has been added to its tech pool.

With the addition to Undermine in 1.8 and the buff to Madness Buff at the same time, we noticed that Valash was over-performing a little bit. However, we really liked the idea that Valash had access to a neutral special technique, so we decided to go with another, weaker option.

#095 — Zizare

Narcoleptic Hit has been added to its tech pool at level 68.

Zizare was one of the latest monotype Temtem that had no access to any coverage technique. Narcoleptic Hit felt like a good fit and gave him an even more interesting niche, paired with his favorite partner Nagaise.

#108 — Goolder

Paralysing Poison has been added to its tech pool at level 96.

By adding Paralysing Poison to Goolder’s tech pool we wanted to give Goolder a more threatening option to punish players who tend to ignore him for too long.

#121 — Broccolem

Marathonist has been removed from its possible traits.

Strong Liver has been added to its possible traits.

This might be the biggest buff Broccolem has ever received. Since the removal of Strong Liver from Goolder on patch 1.6, this trait had disappeared from the competitive scene. This change is here to bring back the trait on a Temtem that we believe will make better use of it, allowing him to lose a weakness while not being immune to toxic ticks.

#160 — Monkko

Meditation has been removed from its possible traits.

Unnoticed has been added to its possible traits.

Because Meditation was a trait that saw near to no play, and instead of changing Monkko speed tiers, we decided to go with a high risk, high reward trait playstyle that we believe fits the Temtem perfectly.

#162 — Anatan

ATT has been increased from 50 => 55.

SPATT has been decreased from 50 => 45.

Cage has been added to his Technique Course learnset.

#164 — Volgon

Inner Spirit has been removed from its tech pool.

Sparks has been added to its tech pool.

Techniques

Cheer Up

New effect added: It now also gives +1 SPATK to the target.

Hallucination

Exhaust turns have been reduced 2 => 1

Hallucination+

Priority has been reduced from ~~Very High~~ => High

Base damage has been reduced from ~~100~~ => 85

Exhaust turns have been reduced from 2 => 1

Hallucination+ became a little better than expected in 1.8.1. However, we really loved how it opened new sets and new strategies on some Temtem, which is why we decided to reduce its hitting power while keeping the same direction.

Madness Buff

SPATT buff has been reduced +4 => +3

This change is here simply to reduce a bit the gain for special attackers that heavily rely on this technique to sweep, while aiding more defensive Temtem that might want to use this Technique, such as Magmut, for example.

Trample

Base damage has been increased 90 => 110

Trample+

Base damage has been increased 90 => 110

Speaking of Magmut: with the nerf to the offensive part of Madness Buff, this change felt necessary to keep Magmut on track.

Traits

Aerobic

Now only triggers when using an offensive wind technique.

Anaerobic

Now only triggers when using an offensive toxic technique.

Dispersion

Now only triggers when using damaging multi-target techniques.

Team Elusive

Now only prevents offensive multi-target techniques.

Note : This is a revert back to patch 1.4.2 changes. We hope to tone down a bit Vulffy’s usage and give some space to other Earth or Nature temtems.

Fixes

All Platforms

Fixed a hardlock while battling against Mimic Max in a co-op party.

Fixed being unable to change our turn 1 option if we have chosen to run away from a battle against a wild Temtem.

Fixed the Soulbound title requiring Kudos that were removed in patch 1.8, thus being impossible to 100% complete at the time.

Fixed not seeing the “captured” icon on wild Temtem if we have the Umbra version of it.

Fixed not being able to purchase the Tamer Pass using Feathers if we don’t have enough Novas (Novas are no longer obtainable in Temtem).

Fixed not being able to complete a Radar Kudo after reaching 300 encounters.

Fixed a desynchronization in TemSafari bonuses after rerolling.

Temtem – Ver. 1.8.1

Release date: October 14th 2024 (North America, Europe, Japan)
Maintenance: Yes (more details)
Patch notes:

New Stuff

We’ve added a visual indicator on the Saipark UI that lets you know when you’ve done your weekly Luma capture. This way it’ll be easier for players to know once they’ve filled their weekly limit.

You can now enjoy a Trading Station from the comfort of your own home!

In the same vein of having the Temporium machines as furniture pieces for a Tamer’s house, we have now added a Trading Station to the mix.

This replica works the exact same way as their actual counterpart.

It has been included in the Store.

Improvements

We’ve removed the decimals on the 100.00% Luma chance in Digilair, as it was displaying incorrectly.

We’ve made it so the Temtem you receive from defeating NPCs will all be level 100 with all their SVs at 50.

This applies to both Mythical Lairs and DigiLairs (although DigiLairs already provided all Tems with SVs at 50).

You can now exchange Luma Anahir for Luma Drops, and it should provide the right amount of Luma Drops.

Balance

Temtem

#013 — Gharunder

Rend has been removed from its Tech Pool.

#110 — Volarend

Rend has been removed from its Tech Pool.

#124 — Valiar

Rend has been removed from its Tech Pool.

Techniques

Digital Torrent

Base damage has been reduced ~~100~~ => 90

Fixes

All platforms

Fixed a softlock when restarting DraftArena after choosing to end the run.

Fixed a softlock if we click the right mouse button while we’re clicking the left mouse button to run away from a combat.

Fixed a softlock when selecting an egg from the Temdeck (as opposed to the squad) for the Pro Incubator.

Fixed a softlock caused by an error after a Temtem is defeated through Fainted Curse or Toxic Farewell.

Fixed getting the system message about Dojo Warriors at random intervals if we reconnect to the game while inside the Dojo Park.

Fixed not being able to select or find ETCs through the Auction House filter.

Fixed that the 50% Overexertion damage reduction of the Tireless trait isn’t being applied.

Fixed that if an enemy Volgon used Ampere Outburst our ally Volgon would also get the -1 Hold benefit.

Fixed that the animation for Autodestruction wasn’t playing.

Fixed that the animation for the Head Charge synergy wasn’t playing.

Fixed an error in Hold turns reduction that allowed the enemy AI to continuously use Ampere Outburst.

Fixed seeing the dialogue avatar of another NPC while talking to one. This could lead to a lot of softlocks and issues, including the one in the Breeding Center and the one in Telobos, as well as messing up the Postal Delivery quest. All of these should’ve been corrected through this fix.

Fixed that trying to purchase the Pro track of the Tamer Pass with insufficient Feathers would put forth a purchase window with the Novas icon.

Fixed being unable to hover over or navigate the TemCards in the backpack.

Fixed not seeing the rank icon for players in the Club UI.

Fixed that players were hearing the Wild Luma sound when their own Luma Tems appeared in battle if the Skip Animation setting was active.

Fixed the configuration of the Hocus plushie furniture piece, which wasn’t letting players remove or relocate it.

Fixed that the Luma particles of a recently hatched egg will remain in the game after the hatching scene.

Fixed that opening the map while at the Highbelow could cause internal, unseen issues.

Fixed some issues while accessing Atoll Row.

Fixed that the gender text tags were not being correctly applied in the preview of a cosmetic item in the Boutiques.

Fixed that the text for “Rewards already acquired” in the Challenge Modes wasn’t being translated.

Fixed that the Accept button in the Interact UI, or the Accept button in the Tamer Search in Replays were not being translated.

Fixed Quetzaleño having lost its in-game description.

Temtem – Ver. 1.8

Release date: September 2nd 2024 (North America, Europe, Japan)
Maintenance: Yes (more details)
Patch notes:

New stuff

Welcome to the new Store: not Premium, nor rotating anymore!

The Store will not rotate anymore, and the Weekly Feature section has been removed.

The Store is now an enormous, permanent recollection of all previously Premium cosmetic items in Temtem, all of them purchasable with Feathers.

We’ve added all the cosmetics available in the previous Store (both items in the daily rotation and all the history of items available in the weekly featured rotation). You’ll also find all items from past in-game events, the cosmetics from all Tamer Passes (this will allow people to access the cosmetics even if they don’t want to farm the Pass, and to have multiple copies of those that allow it), and a handful of extra items that were currently outside of player’s reach, mostly common cosmetics and furniture for Housing.

Items that are not part of the store are: promotional items (such as the Paharo Mount, the Backer rewards or Twitch drops), items available in Tamer’s Paradise, items available in the normal Boutiques, items obtainable through the Challenge Modes, furniture obtained through Dojo Wars, and items obtainable through the Arcade Bar.

The rotating nature of the Store was the main cause of FOMO that still remained in the game. Part of our desire for Temtem to be enjoyable for as long as possible without new updates includes making sure there is no FOMO left, and offering a greater fan of customization possibilities for players.

We’ve revamped Luma and Umbra hunting:

The new appearance rate for Luma is 1/2.000.

The new appearance rate for Umbra is 1/20.000.

Umbra and Luma radars will now break after you capture an Umbra or Luma Temtem during that radar.

New item: Umbra Radar Box. It will provide a random Umbra Radar when used. You can purchase them at Nanto Labs.

The price of Luma Radars has been lowered a 20%.

Let the party commence! We want players to have a better shot at finding Luma and Umbra, while also keeping some control over hoarding Luma and Umbra Tems. It’s now way easier to find the Luma/Umbra you want, both with Radars and in Saipark, but it should be a tad harder to get 40 copies of your fav Luma/Umbra. To give you some numbers, in 1.7 the chance of finding a Luma/Umbra in a radar was 19.22%, while with patch 1.8 the possibility has gone up to 55.13%.

Saipark is now a whole different place:

You will no longer have to pay a fee to enter the Saipark.

All weeks will be Luma week at the Saipark.

You will only be able to capture ONE Luma Temtem per week in the Saipark. Once you’ve achieved your weekly Luma catch, no more Luma Tems will spawn in the Saipark. This means you’ll have to choose between the two featured Tems of that week.

You will now be able to use any type of TemCards in the Saipark.

SaiCards will remain, but their special conditions will disappear: they will no longer have an expiration date, will be purchasable from Temporiums and will be usable outside of Saipark.

SaiCards will have a normal capture rate (x1) in all zones except Saipark, where it will have a doubled chance (x2) to capture the Tem.

These changes are made with the main goal of removing as many as possible of the current pain points of the Saipark, and making the experience a lot easier and more enjoyable, which as you can see is the general trend of this patch. Like for Luma & Umbra and radars, we had to put down some limitations so it didn’t get out of control, even more so in Saipark’s case because of our ongoing battle with bots. It will now be easier to find a Luma in Saipark, and it’s now free to enter, so most players will be rewarded with a sparkly new Tem. We’ve also made SaiCards a choice instead of an obligation, while allowing the most aesthetic-oriented players to keep that Saipark drip!

Select any Tamer Pass, from any Season:

You can now select which Tamer Pass from any Season you want to work towards at any given time.

You can select from all Tamer Passes, and switch from one to another in a second.

You can only have one Tamer Pass active at a time.

Your progress in each Tamer Pass is stored, including the progress you might currently have, so you won’t lose anything while switching from one Tamer Pass to another.

You’ll be able to purchase the “Premium” (please keep in mind there’s no longer any Premium currency in Temtem, but we don’t really have a name for this section yet) track of any Tamer Pass you choose, and it’ll remain unlocked even if you change to a different Tamer Pass.

Your selected Tamer Pass and its progress will be maintained across platforms.

While we announced this change a while back, it’s also part of our intention to address FOMO and fully eradicate it from Temtem so all Tamers can enjoy things at their own pace.

An entirely new Ranked system:

Everyone’s TMR will be reset to 1000 with the launch of patch 1.8. This will ensure a cleaner slate for the competitive scene following all these changes.

Ranked Seasons will now happen automatically every two months. This will take place during the scheduled maintenance period, usually the first Monday of each month.

There will still be a seasonal TMR reset like there has been up until now, following the same formula and recalculating TMR for each range based on the population, just as it has been so far.

When the competitive season changes and the TMR is reset, all players will receive a Feather reward based on their rank when the previous season ended. It will follow the same logic as all these past seasons, with the only change being the reward.

Rewards will rank from 1000 Feathers for Bronze, up to 7000 Feathers for Legend players.

The compulsory ranked placement matches have been reduced from 10 to 5.

The TMR multiplier of the placement matches has been reduced so they are not as decisive as they were before.

We have reverted a past change that limited the amount of TMR you could lose to an opponent with a lower TMR to that of your current TMR; if you lose against an opponent with lower TMR, you will lose the natural amount of TMR resulting from the rival’s TMR number.

We have also reverted a past increase in K-factor in ranked: we’ve reduced it so variance in TMR is not that significant.

TMR will now be displayed.

You’ll see how much TMR you win or lose from a Ranked match in the result screen of it.

It will now show on the Tamer Profile of each player alongside the rank. It will only be displayed once the Tamer has completed their placement matches.

It will also be displayed on the Competitive lobby.

With the Tamer Season system gone, the Ranked system can finally have its own schedule. We we want to ensure ranked playing still provides cyclic changes and rewards, and we’ve taken this chance to provide ranked players with features they’ve requested for a long time. Some of the changes made are also intended to combat the TMR inflation the game had been suffering for some months.

Please note: due to a bug, when you log into the game for the first time after a patch, you’ll get a message saying you’ve earned a lot of Feathers. It’s a visual bug, and you’re not actually getting those Feathers, but rather the Ranked rewards from Season 7.

Every Tamer’s Paradise activity has been adjusted and changed. Here’s a complete list of everything added and improved upon!

We’ve changed the behavior of the flame icon on Tamer’s Paradise activities.

Every activity used to have its own threshold to enter flame levels, and it was confusing. We’ve equalized the threshold across activities to 100, so now you’ll start seeing the flame icon after surpassing level 100.

TemSafari

We’ve added a reroll option for the banned types in TemSafari.

When doing a reroll, the game will offer you a new list of banned types for the activity.

You can do as many rerolls as you like, as long as you have the funds for it.

It will cost Pansuns.

The number of banned Types has been reduced from 4 to 3.

The leveling up curve is less steep now, allowing Tamers to go farther in the activity: wild Tems will now appear at level 75, and go up one level per new Tem. After 18 Tems have been defeated, newer Tems go up 2 levels per new Tem. After another 18 Tems, they go up 3 levels per new Tem, etc. The leveling up curve is less steep now, allowing Tamers to go farther in the activity.

DraftArena

Enemies will now appear at level 73, and go up in level in increments of 3.

DraftArena will now display a full battle log when entering combat, even before you have seen the rival Tems.

GritArena

We’ve added a reroll option for the banned Tems on GritArena.

When doing a reroll, the game will offer you a new list of banned Tems for the activity.

You can do as many rerolls as you like, as long as you have the funds for it.

It will cost Pansuns.

The number of available Tem species has been increased from 50 to 60.

The number of banned Tem species has been reduced from 45 to 35.

The leveling up curve is less steep now, allowing Tamers to go farther in the activity: enemies will now appear at level 72, and go up in level in increments of 6.

DigiLair

The Tems you receive at the start of a DigiLair have had their levels raised from 90 to 96, giving them access to their entire Technique pool.

All target Temtem on DigiLairs have received a scaling buff on their Luma and Egg Move chances. The higher the difficulty, the bigger the boosts.

The price of a DigiLair token has been reduced from 7k to 5k Pansuns.

Evershifting Tower

We’ve also added the option to run away from one NPC Tamer per run in the Evershifting Tower.

It’s the same prompt used to run away from combat against wild Tems.

The Tamer will disappear after you choose to run from them, but you will not get any rewards from it.

You won’t be able to skip Tamers that block access to a new floor, the ones marked with the quest icon. You must fight those.

You can now always run away from wild Tems in the Evershifting Tower.

Evershifting Tower will now display a full battle log when entering combat, even before you have seen the rival Tems.

You can now skip animations during combat:

If you enable this setting, you will skip: Tems’ entrance in battles, Technique animations, Status condition animations.

You will not skip any information, and will still see the result screen, or the experience screen.

This will be a new selectable setting in the Settings menu.

This might come as a surprise to many of you, as it was a change we haven’t agreed with for a long time. Back at the start, when the forums were the place to suggest ideas and there were only 3 islands, we commented in passing that we’d like to include this in the game, and it was a viable design choice. However, as Temtem grew and we became aware of the player economy that was bubbling up, and how important it was becoming, we realized introducing this setting would bring forth a lot of trouble for its effect on said economy. We decided against it, because as it were, including it would mean everyone would have to activate it to be able to take part in the economy. Faster combat meant faster Luma hunting for those who activated it, thus creating a situation of imbalance. With Temtem having reached completion, we are not that concerned about the economy anymore, and we’d rather have players of all levels of experience, skill and commitment happy and satisfied, enjoying the game more. Since patch 1.8’s trend is to make the game kinder, more enjoyable for casual and devoted players alike, you can now skip combat animations.

You can now see when a Temtem will evolve.

You can see the level at which the Temtem will evolve on its details page, right under the location where you encountered it.

The message will let you know either the level at which the Tem will evolve, or that it’s ready to evolve (in case you had previously stopped its evo for any given reason).

While we couldn’t add the exact level at which it was caught because of technical reasons, we believe this is a fitting solution to the problem of not knowing when a Tem was going to evolve!

You can now select directly from your TemDeck when handing over a Temtem to an NPC.

You’ll be able to access the Tems on your TemDeck when requested a Tem by an NPC, be it for a quest or an exchange.

We’ve added a new item: Temessence Ampoule.

Similar to the Temessence Phial, it recovers 50% of HP of your entire Team.

It’s, however, a consumable item. You’ll be able to purchase it on Temporium after Tucma.

You’ll find some Temessence Ampoules around the world as well. We’ve introduced new spots to reduce backtracking during the campaign.

It cannot be used during battle.

New item: ETC Pieces.

ETC Pieces are fragmented bits of ETCs (Egg Technique Courses) that you can obtain from loot pools, Wishing Wells, or endgame activities like Lairs.

You can trade these ETC Pieces for any specific ETC at a new shop located in Tamer’s Paradise, the endgame island.

All ETCs will be available to exchange at the shop!

Different ETCs will have a different price in Pieces, but this is a surefire way to obtain those ETCs you might have been after.

We’ve added three new usable furniture pieces from the Temporium!

You can now have a TemDeck, a Vault and a Healing Machine in the comfort of your own house!

These replicas work exactly like their Temporium counterparts.

They will be included in the Store.

We’ve added a new Wishing Well on the Pansun. It can drop pheromones from all Temtem types.

You can exchange Mythical Tems for WishYouWell coins.

Have one too many of those big boys? Ellie, on the Pansun, will gladly take them off your hands and give you two coins for your trouble.

It doesn’t matter which Mythical, or whether it’s regular, Luma, or Umbra: the return is always two coins.

We’ve added an Unstick option at the end of the Settings menu.

It can be used once every 8 hours.

It cannot be used in the Challenge Modes to prevent exploiting.

This command will help in cases where players find themselves stuck on different situations.

If you’re in combat with an NPC, the command will get your character out of battle first, and moved to the Temporium you’d last visited.

If you’re out of combat, your character will be moved to the Temporium you’d last visited.

Improvements

We’ve increased the reward of NPC Tamers by 40 Pansun each.

We made this change to improve and favor player economy during the early stages. You will most notice this on the first two islands, Deniz and Omninesia, where you will now be able to buy a Balm with every Tamer you defeat. This will allow for faster travelling and extra monetary comfort

A total of 685 Tamers have received this change, which means a total increment of 27.400 Pansuns in a complete game run.

Eggs wills now hatch faster.

From a range of ~~5-45~~ to 3-30 minutes, depending on catch rate.

All platforms have received upgrades to their loading times.

Our Tech team have tinkered with the memory management on all platforms to improve it across the board. This results in shorter loading times.

For a more in-depth explanation: Temtem uses Unity’s Addressable system to load and download game assets. To put it simply, each addressable is one little box where we store different assets. For example, all assets pertaining to Platypet (3D mesh, texture, animations) are stored in one addressable, one little box. When we want to show Platypet in game, we simply load this box and all its contents ; once we don’t want to show Platypet in-game, we simply unload that box.

We have updated the entire addressable system. The new version includes improvements in the way addressables are managed, so they take less to load and require less memory. This new addressable version couldn’t handle past addressables, so we’ve had to redo all the addressables in the game. This is also why the size of this patch is slightly larger than usual: all the addressables in the game have been rebuilt.

You’ll be able to feel this when loading up the game, teleporting, entering and leaving buildings and entering and leaving combat.

Switch has received extra improvement on loading times.

On top of the previously mentioned loading times improvements to all platforms, Switch has gotten a severe enhancement of how it handled and cleaned up memory. Since memory management has been improved, we can now allow for better memory allotment.

We’ve lowered the quality of textures on Switch, so they take up less memory and contribute to the general improvement of loading times. This is a small sacrifice in looks that will go a long way in performance.

Anahir can now be selected as the target Temtem on DigiLair.

Since it doesn’t have spawn points in the wild, DigiLair will treat it as if it were a Temtem with a 5% encounter rate.

We understand that achieving Anahir Luma, or even Umbra, were tasks that were getting more difficult as fewer new players joined the game, putting those Anahir into circulation. With this change we hope players who have that goal in mind can feel it more feasible.

Please note: due to a small bug with the amount of Luma Drops it provided, you won’t be able to exchange Luma Anahir at Nanto Labs until next patch.

Mythical Lairs have been adjusted:

The Tems you receive at the start of a Lair have had their levels raised from 90 to 96, giving them access to their entire Technique pool.

The minimum required Warriors for Dojo Wars has been reduced from 9 to 5 members of a club.

Now clubs with less active members can still take part in Dojo Wars!

We have removed the Kudos for winning tournaments and Dojo Wars.

These two Kudos, Champion and Dojo War Champion, will be hidden from the list of Kudos and removed from the requisites of the Archtamer Kudo.

Players who had already completed these Kudos will keep the title

In our effort to make Temtem as enjoyable and sustainable as possible without content updates, and with greater attention to a less populated environment we want to ensure these Kudos, hard to obtain with a lower population, don’t stand in the way of completion of other Kudos.

We have added a new Folder to the Backpack: Patch folder.

This includes all the Patch gears that prevent a Tem from gaining TVs on a particular stat.

We’ve increased the amount of different Stickers each player can find.

While this does not completely remove trading from the picture, each player can now find more Stickers without help.

Stickers can now also be obtained from completing Postal Service daily quests!

The chance to get a sticker is higher the more packages you get to deliver.

We have changed the way X/Y Incubator tickets work.

It will now add a 30% plain increase to the existing gender probabilities. So if the Temtem had a 10% chance of being male, by using a Y Incubator ticket, the chance will rise up to 40%.

You can now purchase WishYouWell coins using Feathers.

Sold by Soulful Souldad at the Tamer’s Paradise mall.

We’ve added more cosmetics and housing furniture to the Wishing Wells! All come from those available to purchase with Pansuns.

We’ve changed the loading screen for teleporting, which was causing eye strain for some players, and we’ve also gone and changed the loeading screen for the Narwhal, and for the Umbra spaceship.

We’ve added an internal trigger on the Innkball ramp so players can open the door from the inside and avoid having the ball get stuck on it.

This improvement made to the Innkball minigame was a response to a bug that happened after we had sent the Nintendo Switch build to certification, so that change didn’t make it into the Switch version. We’ll add this change into the Switch version in a following update, and we apologize to Switch players for this mishap.

We’ve updated the time goal for the Speedrun Challenge Mode.

It has been lowered from 10 hours to 9.5 hours.

The Speedrun Challenge Mode will have the option to skip animations activated by default. Players can turn them off in settings if they want to.

Since this patch includes a lot of improvements that help complete the campaign faster, such as more Pansuns, the Temessence Ampoule and the option to skip animations, this challenge mode has been revisited to reflect those changes.

We’ve created a separation to ensure the recent items tab in the Backpack isn’t affected by playing Evershifting Tower.

Now you’ll see the recent items for Evershifting Tower only while you’re in it, and they won’t persist after you leave the activity.

Balance

Economy

The price of the Matter Transfer Drone has been lowered, from ~~250~~ to 100 Pansuns.

As mentioned above, the price of Luma Radars has been lowered a 20%.

The price of Luma Chromeon Radars has been reduced an extra 50% on top of the price reduction for all Luma radars.

The price of a DigiLair token has been reduced from ~~7000~~ to 5000 Pansuns.

The price of all purchasable items on the Breeding Center (DNA Strands) has been reduced a 50%.

We’ve reviewed all the prices in the ETC shop according to Trade House tendencies to make sure they align with it.

PvE

Dojo Parks will now reward 2 more Telomere Hotfixes, and have a better chance to drop a Telomere Hotfix: Trait Swap.

We have reviewed and updated the TV spreads and Technique Pools of all Tems you can rent/use in endgame activities, such as Tamer’s Paradise activities and rematches.

PvP

Notes from the Balance team will be signaled in cursive.

Patch 1.8 is finally upon us, Tamers! Our goal for balance in this patch was to bring lower-tier Tems up towards the power level of more well-established Temtem, hopefully reducing the gap in playability between Temtem on the roster. We have also reworked Volgon, with more specific details on that below.

Temtem

#004— Chromeon

Digital Chromeon

Plasma Beam has been removed from its Tech pool.

Rend has been removed from his Tech pool.

Reset has been added to his Tech pool.

Neutral Chromeon

Rend has been removed from its Tech pool.

Nature Chromeon

Rend has been removed from its Tech pool.

Electric Chromeon

Rend has been removed from its Tech pool.

Earth Chromeon

Rend has been removed from its Tech pool.

Drought has been removed from its Tech pool.

Sand Storm has been added to its Tech pool.

Melee Chromeon

Rend has been removed from its Tech pool.

Wind Chromeon

Hurricane has been added to its at level 65.

Turbo-Choreography has been added to its at level 75.

Rend has been removed from its Tech pool.

Chromeon tends to be a very hit-and-miss Temtem in aggro teams. To improve its minimum performance we have made changes to some of the Torrent techniques, to provide Chromeon with a better baseline from which to build on. Digital Torrent received the biggest change, to compensate for the mono-typing of its user. Those will be detailed in the Techniques section of these patch notes, later down below.

#052 — Owlhe

Uppercut has been added to its Technique pool at level 84.

#053 — Barnshe

STA has been increased 56 => 61.

Phantom Whiplash has been added to its Technique pool at level 72.

#059 — Raican

Head Charge has been added to its Technique pool at level 68.

Execution has been added to its Technique pool at level 92.

Rend has been added to its Technique pool as a Technique Course.

At higher levels of play, Raican tends to get left behind, while other Fire Type Temtem take its place. We hope that Head Charge can give Motivator sets some coverage and defensive play, while Execution and Rend can set up for Prideful sweeps.

#060 — Pewki

Rend has been removed from its Technique pool.

#061 — Piraniant

Aquatic Whirlwind is now learned at level 40.

Waterjet is now learned at level 50.

Fluid Barrier is now learned at level 59.

Ice Cubes is now learned at level 69.

A new Technique, Abyssal Maw has been added to its Technique pool at level 75.

Ultrasound is now learned at level 83.

Rend has been removed from its Technique pool.

Piraniant is a strange case. On paper, it looked like it had all the tools it needed to succeed, and yet it was consistently one of the least picked of all fully-evolved Temtem. We have tried adding a new signature technique that can help both support and bulky offense builds.

#063 — Scaravolt

Smoldering Kiss has been added to its Technique pool at level 25.

#065 — Hedgine

Rend has been added to its Technique pool as a Technique Course.

#068 — Osukai

Rend has been removed from its Technique pool.

#069 — Saipat

Sanative Rain has been added to its Technique pool as a Technique Course.

#074 — Tortenite

Hallucination has been added to its Technique pool at level 74.

#075 — Innki

Rend has been added to its Technique pool as a Technique Course.

#078 — Cycrox

Toxic Gas has been added to its Technique pool at level 87.

Rend has been added to its Technique pool as a Technique Course.

#087 — Mastione

Laundry has been added to its Technique pool as a Technique Course.

#098 — Sanbi

Head Charge has been added to its Technique pool at level 83.

Transient Echo is now learned at level 91.

#104 — Cerneaf

STA has been increased 56 => 60.

SPDEF has been increased 50 => 55.

Head charge has been added to its Technique pool at level 80.

Rend has been added to its Technique pool as a Technique Course.

Similarly to Raican, we wanted to give Cerneaf some coverage that would be a different type compared to Taifu. On top of this, giving it access to Rend and its good speed allow him to support the ally offensively, setting up KOs.

#106 — Noxolotl

STA has been increased 49 => 61.

Sanative Rain has been added to its Technique pool as a Technique Course.

#108 — Goolder

Hallucination has been added to its Technique pool at level 70.

#110 — Volarend

Tornado has been removed from its Technique pool.

Toxic Spores has been added to its Technique pool at level 16.

Blizzard is now learned at level 25.

Multiple Pecks is now learned at level 38.

Toxic Plume is now learned at level 51.

Volarend has been in need of a nerf for quite some time, but we struggled to find how. Removing Tornado from its kit felt like the best way to do it, by removing the ability to rotate between 2 of the best Wind Type nuke techniques in the game.

#123 — Nessla

Rend has been removed from its Technique pool.

#124 — Valiar

Rend has been added to its Technique pool as a Technique Course.

#128 — Kalabyss

Sanative Rain has been added to its Technique pool as a Technique Course.

#131 — Tukai

Sanative Rain has been added to its Technique pool as a Technique Course.

#143 — Koish

Water Koish

Fluid Barrier has been added to its Technique pool at level 60.

Earth Koish

Stone Wall has been added to its Technique pool at level 60.

Stone Ball has been added to its Technique pool at level 91.

Melee Koish

Show Off has been added to its Technique pool at level 65.

Haito Uchi has been added to its Technique pool at level 92.

Neutral Koish

Late Torment has been added to its Technique pool at level 92.

Crystal Koish

Glass Blade has been added to its Technique pool at level 52.

Sharp Stabs is now learned at level 69.

Sharpening is now learned at level 80.

Mineral Hail is now learned at level 92.

#149 — Hazrat

Rend has been added to its Technique pool as a Technique Course.

#153 — Maoala

Chain Heal has been added to its Technique pool at level 34.

Zen Meditation has been added to its Technique pool as a Technique Course.

Maoala’s nerf in patch 1.6 proved to be too much. Having learned from removing Zen Meditation and reworking Hypnotist at the same time, we have chosen to give Maoala its technique back. Haka has also been reworked, and with these changes, we believe Maoala is in the best spot it has ever been.

#158 — Arachnyte

Chain Heal has been added to its Technique pool at level 78.

Hallucination has been added to its Technique pool at level 87.

#162 — Anatan

Diamond Fort has been added to its Technique pool at level 80.

Rend has been added to its Technique pool as a Technique Course.

#164 — Volgon

HP has been decreased 63 => 53.

SPD has been increased 60 => 83.

ATK has been decreased 58 => 41.

DEF has been decreased 65 => 59.

SPATK has been increased 90 => 110.

SPDEF has been decreased 69 => 58.

Defibrillate has been removed from its Technique pool.

Hypoxia has been added to its Technique pool.

Late Torment has been removed from its Technique pool.

Sharp Rain has been added to its Technique pool.

Boomerang has been removed from its Technique pool.

Inner Spirit has been added to its Technique pool.

Rend has been removed from its Technique pool.

Volgon deserved a major rework. When looking at all three Mythical Temtem, it was disappointing to see that all three had fallen into bulky support or offense builds as their “optimal” playstyle. Tyranak and Galios are more obviously designed to be this way, but we wanted to differentiate Volgon from the others. This became even more necessary when we removed the ability to use the Strangle + Adrenaline Shot combo, which was one of Volgon’s strongest tools.

We have instead redistributed its base stats and changed the learnset to set Volgon apart as a much more obvious glass cannon Temtem, with an emphasis on coverage and tempo. We hope that Volgon should be more fun to use, and to play against.

Techniques

New Technique: Abyssal Maw

Type: Water

Physical

Hold turns: 2

Damage: 75

Stamina cost: 23

Priority: Normal

Effect & Description: If this technique leaves its target under 30% of their max HP, they’re instantly knocked out and Piraniant gets healed for 30% of its max HP.

This is Piraniant’s Signature Tech. Support builds can use this technique to pick off low-HP targets while keeping Piraniant healthy. Builds leaning towards offensive can use Energy Reserves to gain a lot of ATK and initiate a sweep. We can’t wait to see which teams you’ll build around Piraniant! This Tech also has two VFX: one when it knocks the target out, and one when it doesn’t. Enjoy!

New Synergy: Glass Blade +

Synergy typing: Neutral.

Priority increases from ~~Normal~~ => High.

Damage increases from 55 => 70.

Ampere Outburst

Previous effects no longer work.

Technique class has been changed from ~~Status~~ => Special.

Stamina cost has been increased from 14 => 26.

Damage has been increased from 0 => 100 to the whole enemy team.

Added new effect: When using this technique, both Volgon and its ally get their Hold turns decreased by 1.

The whole description now reads as follows: Volgon’s Heavenly Might unleashes a wave of power that strikes the entire team. When using this technique, both Volgon and his ally get their Hold decreased by 1.

With Volgon’s rework, we decided that the “team OX” effect no longer fit the Temtem. With the change in tempo, negatively impacting the opponent’s turn economy did not make much sense, so we instead changed it to positively affect the turn economy of Volgon’s own team while also dealing damage.

Burrow

Added new effect: Now also removes negative stages.

The whole description now reads as follows: In a hole in the ground there lived a Temtem… which allowed it to Evade for 4 turns and remove negative stages.

Crystal Deluge

Hold turns have been reduced from 2 => 1.

Crystal Deluge +

Hold turns have been reduced 2 => 1.

Inflicted turns of Sleep Status Condition have been reduced 2 => 1.

We noticed that putting Crystal Deluge at 2 holds was too much, so we decided to take back the latest nerf and bring back Crystal Deluge to 1 hold, but with only 1 turn of sleep. Paired with the Base Damage and the priority this technique has, it feels more than enough to play this technique again.

Divine Inspiration

SPDEF stage raises have been increased 1 => 2.

Hallucination +

Priority has been increased from ~~Normal~~ => Very High.

Horror

Damage has been reduced from ~~175~~ => 90.

Added new effect: When this technique hits a target affected by the Asleep Status Condition, the base damage of this technique gets doubled.

Ice Cubes

Damage has been increased from 54 => 60.

Priority has been reduced from ~~High~~ => Normal.

Ice Cubes +

Damage has been increased from 54 => 70.

Priority has been increased from ~~High~~ => Very High.

Ice Shuriken

Priority has been increased ~~Normal~~ => High.

Inflicted turns of the Freeze Status Condition have been reduced from 2 => 1.

Jinxed whisper

Previous effects no longer work.

Overexertion isn’t inflicted on the user anymore.

Turns of Sleep Status condition have been reduced from 2 => 1.

Added new effect: After using this technique for the first time in battle, it will have 1 hold for the rest of the match.

Jinxed Whisper will now work just like Bamboozle. Because of the previous changes to Adrenaline Shot, this technique needed to be adjusted.

Laundry

Priority has been increased from ~~Normal~~ => High.

Madness Buff

SPATK and SPDEF stage raises have been increased from 3 => 4.

Matter Teleport

STA cost has been reduced from 33 => 28.

Nightmare feed

Hold has been reduced from 2 => 1.

Rainbow Guard

Targeting changed from ~~Self target~~ => whole ally team.

Hold has been increased from 1 => 2.

Stamina cost has been increased from 15 => 21.

This technique, shared across all Chromeon & Koish, never saw play. With this change, we’re adding a very good support option to all of them.

Rend

Previous effects no longer work.

New effect: Deals 50% of target’s remaining HP.

Rend was a technique that, despite being in numerous Temtem Technique pools, has never had any real use. With this rework and its new distribution we want it to be a strong option for monotype Temtem who have trouble dealing with direct threats due to a lack of coverage in their kit.

Sand Storm

Damage has been increased from 70 => 80.

Stampede

Stamina cost has been reduced from 33 => 27.

Stampede +

Stamina cost has been reduced from 33 => 27.

Priority has been increased from ~~Low~~ => Normal.

Shelter

Previous effects no longer work.

It does not inflict Overexertion on the user anymore.

Stamina cost has been increased from 10 => 18.

DEF & SPDEF stats stage raises have been reduced 4 => 3.

Added new effect: Restores 33% of max STA to the user.

Stone Ball +

Turns of Burn Status condition have been increased from 1 => 2.

Crystal Torrent

Damage has been reduced from 95 => 85.

Priority has been increased from ~~Normal~~ => High.

Added new effect: Inflicts 2 turns of the Isolated Status Condition to the target.

Digital Torrent

Damage has been increased from 95 => 100.

Stamina cost has been increased from 21 => 26.

Priority has been increased from ~~Normal~~ => High.

Added new effect: Inflicts 1 turn of the Burned Status Condition to the target.

On paper, this technique is now probably one of the strongest in the game. However, it is worth noting that Digital Chromeon is at the greatest disadvantage. As a mono-Digital Temtem with no coverage, Pigment Inverter cannot trigger, and the player is forced to stack Digital Temtem for Synertyper. We decided that the technique needed to be this strong to compensate for these severe weaknesses and give Digital Chromeon a chance to shine among its other variants.

Earth Torrent

Damage has been reduced from 95 => 90.

Added new effect: Inflicts -1 SPD to the target.

Mental Torrent

Damage has been reduced from 90 => 85.

Priority has been increased from ~~Normal~~ => High.

Added new effect: Inflicts 1 turn of the Exhausted Status Condition to the target.

Toxic Torrent

Damage has been reduced from 95 => 85.

Added new effect: Inflicts 1 turn of the Poisoned Status Condition to the target.

Trample

Previous effects have been removed.

Hold turns have been reduced from 3 => 2.

Damage has been reduced from ~~120~~ => 90.

Trample +

Previous effects no longer work.

Synergy required changed from ~~Melee~~ => Earth.

Technique class has been changed from ~~Physical~~ => Special.

Hold turns have been reduced from 3 => 2 .

Damage has been reduced from ~~120~~ => 90.

Added new effect: With synergy, this technique Overexerts both targets.

Turbo Charge

Added new effect: Now it also gives +1 SPD to the whole team.

Traits

Dispersion

Added new effect: Spread techniques also inflict -1 SPDEF to both targets.

The whole description now reads as follows: When using multi-target techniques, damage gets boosted by 20% and targets get inflicted with -1 SPDEF.

Haka

Previous effect no longer works.

Added new effect: When an enemy is knocked out, both Maoala and its ally gain +1 ATT and +1 SPATK.

Haka is now a very scary Trait, even as the signature trait of Maoala, which is a very fragile Temtem and quite hard to play. We want to reward players for picking such a Temtem, which is why we decided to give Maoala two very strong Traits.

Ignite Protection

It now only triggers if the holder is targeted by an offensive, single-target technique.

Inner Shield

Added new effect: It now also protects the ally from Status techniques.

Neurotoxins

Previous effects no longer work.

Added new effect: While on the board, any Temtem that receives the Poisoned Status condition also gets inflicted by -1 DEF / -1 SPDEF.

We’re aware of how frustrating and binary facing a Cycrox could be. With this change, we hope to see Cycrox in different and more varied teams than before, and that some interesting combos could see play.

Protostar

Doom turns reduced 6 => 5.

Inflicted damage on trigger has been reduced from ~~40%~~ => 30%.

Supernova

Doom turns reduced 6 => 5.

Inflicted damage on trigger has been reduced from ~~40%~~ => 30%.

Ruminant

Added new effect: It now also triggers when targeted by an allied Nature technique.

Added new effect: It now also grants +1 SPD when hit by a Nature technique.

The whole description now reads as follows: When targeted by a Nature technique, damage is reduced by 50% and receives +1 ATK and +1 SPD.

Based on the feedback you gave us on 1.7 regarding Ruminant, we decided to remove the fact that Ruminant can only be triggered by enemy techniques. On top of this, we decided to make it also boost speed so it can really compete with Rusher, which has always been the initial goal behind this Trait’s rework.

Self-esteem

Previous effects no longer work.

Added new effect: Prevents getting a negative Status Condition from being attacked with a technique, and gets +1 SPD.

Tardy Rush

Previous effects no longer work.

Added new effect: Gives +2 ATK and +1 SPD for every 3 turns the Temtem remains on the battlefield.

Tardy Rush was the only trait left that was boosting stats with a percentage, which felt “invisible”. With this simple change it’s way easier for players to know what is happening on the battlefield, while also making Rhoulder a more oppressive raid boss, especially with the change to Shelter, which can combo directly into this Trait’s activation window.

Welcomer

Previous effects no longer work.

Added new effect: Each time an ally enters the board, that ally gets healed by 10% of its max HP.

We decided to get rid completely of the Evasion part of Welcomer, as it became clear that if it’s not on turn 1, it’s not as good, all while feeling too strong in leading positions. Instead, we went for a support Trait. Paired with Bruiser, which is more offensive, it gives Shaolant two very different play styles that we hope will bring it back into the competitive scene.

Gears

Cable Link

Stamina recovery has been increased ~~10%~~ => 12%.

Power Bank

Damage per Hold turns have been increased ~~6.5%~~ => 7.5%.

Strawshield

Removed the turns requirement.

Damage reduction has been reduced ~~75%~~ => 65%.

Tucma Mask

The gear is now revealed at the beginning of the turn.

Fixed Trade nodes appearing as rest nodes in the map and mini-map of Lairs.

Fixed that we could do a second launch on Innkball if the ball had entered the zone from a very soft initial launch.

Fixed a wrong translation for the “What are you Buying?” kudo in German.

Fixed that the lighting on places would overlap with the lighting in the cosmetic preview of Stores and Tamer Passes.

Fixed an issue with lighting in co-op is we spent too much time on the Learning Tech screen followed by an evolution scene.

Known issues:

Due to a bug, if you had a Competitive rank, when you log into the game for the first time after a patch you’ll get a message saying you’ve earned a lot of Feathers. It’s a visual bug, and you’re not actually getting those Feathers, but rather the Ranked rewards from Season 7. Apologies for the issue.

Due to a small bug with the amount of Luma Drops it provided, you won’t be able to exchange Luma Anahir at Nanto Labs until next patch.

There is a visual bug the first time you open the Tamer Pass selection menu. Although it’ll be fixed in a future patch, it will go back to normal if you re-enter that menu.

Temtem – Ver. 1.7

Release date: June 10th 2024 (North America, Europe, Japan) at around 2AM PT / 5AM ET / 10AM BST / 11AM CEST / 6PM JST
Maintenance: Yes (more details)
Patch notes:

Important Notice

Premium monetization has been removed from the game.

As of this patch, you won’t be able to purchase Novas anymore. There won’t be an option for it in the Shop anymore, and the bundles are being removed from all the platforms’ stores.

Remaining Novas in player’s inventories won’t be removed and you’ll be able to keep using them to purchase cosmetics.

You won’t be able to combine both Novas and Feathers to make purchases: the game will prioritize using your available Novas over your existing Feathers.

We’re rounding up everyone’s Novas to a multiple of 50, to make sure any remaining amount is usable.

This rounding will happen to the Novas on each platform (remember: you have a common stash of them, and the ones purchased in each platform. All the info here).

All the loot pools that included Novas as a reward will have them swapped for Feathers.

The Weekly Challenges of Tamer Passes will now reward Feathers instead of Novas, and the Premium Challenges will have added Pansuns to them. Tamer Passes will now be purchasable for 2000 Feathers or 700 Novas.

Items will have a price of 2.5x times its price in Novas. For example, an item that costed 300 Novas will cost 750 Feathers.

If you don’t have enough Novas to purchase something, you’ll see its price in Feathers, and Feathers will be used to purchase it. Please pay attention to the currency displayed when making the purchase, as that’s the currency that will be employed.

Once you don’t have any Novas, the icon will disappear from the backpack and from the Store UI.

There is no time limit to use your Novas, so please don’t feel rushed to employ them, and take your time.

New stuff

Welcome to the new Season, Neon Reverie!

The recommended Technique sets of all Temtem on the Showdown pre-defined builds have been revisited and adjusted, corrected or redone.

A note from our balance team:

Over previous patch cycles, we have been reading a lot of feedback from the community and there are a number of specific points that kept coming up, which we wanted to act on:

Too many dual-typed Temtem have access to efficient/powerful offensive techniques of both of their typings at 0 hold.

Too many 0 hold techniques have unconditional high priority.

Too many Temtem have access to both of the above at the same time.

An example of this is Tulcan. With Wind Burst and Fiery Soul, it could use offensive techniques of both of its typings on any turn, and one of these techniques also burned the opponent at high priority. As a result, it was consistently at the top of tier lists as these qualities made it “always good”. Our goal of this patch is to cut down on these types of Temtem, while leaving just a few like this. We don’t want to remove these kinds of Temtem completely as we believe Temtem with strong 0 hold techniques are an important part of aggressive play, which makes up a key part of the competitive ecosystem. However, it should be a more rare quality for a Temtem to have, rather than the norm which defines the benchmark against which Temtem are compared and evaluated. For this reason, we have decided to aim for Temtem learn sets, rather than apply a blanket nerf to high priority and low hold techniques. This has been at the core of our approach to balance for Season 7.

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

[NEW] Fiery Ballad

Type: Fire

Damage: 95

STA cost: 25

Hold: 1

Priority: Normal

Attack Category: Physical

Target: One Target

[NEW] Fiery Ballad +

In combination with a Wind ally, Fiery Ballad gifts the user with +1 SPD.

Everything else stays the same.

Like with Phantom Whiplash in patch 1.6, we are still looking to add techniques that we think are necessary to the range of possibilities in the game. In this case we introduced a 1 Hold, physical fire move with normal priority. This is something certain Fire-type Tems that have been in the shadows for a long time were in need of. It’s always interesting to introduce synergy techniques to the game, and even more so, if its synergy involves something as key to the game as increasing SPD to the user.

[NEW] Cable Link

If the holder takes part in a synergy Technique, both the holder and the ally regain 10% of their max Stamina.

So far we had no Gear that interacted with one of Temtem’s unique game mechanics, synergies. After multiple tests, we feel like this gear is way stronger than other Stamina gears in the right team compositions, while it’s weaker than these same gears when not used correctly. We cannot wait to see how creative you’ll get with this gear.

[NEW] Haz’trap

When the holder gets knocked out, the attacker gets trapped for 2 turns.

This gear is revealed at the beginning of the turn.

We have been receiving feedback for some time about how oppressive the opponent’s leads can be, even from the picks and bans phase, and how in many occasions the first two turns’ offsets have too much weight in the game. With the design of Haz’trap we want to make it easier to look for an even exchange in the early stages of the game, even being able to trap the opponent’s key Tem, and aim to weaken it in the next turn. This gear will be revealed at the beginning of the turn, so both players will have to prepare their move around it, and further assess the range of possibilities and how the field situation may change in the next turn. During scrims we saw that any fragile and fast Tem is a good holder of this gear, but we are looking forward to see what strategies come out around it.

[NEW] Power Bank

Offensive techniques gain 6.5% damage boost per hold.

Similar to Cable Link, we like gears that interact with Temtem’s unique mechanics. Hold is another one of these, and testing showed this gear played well. We found lots of Temtem that benefit from this gear (more than just Turoc!), and even discovered some new builds that it enables. We think that Power Bank is especially relevant and interesting for special attackers, as some of these tems, depending on their type, were lacking a damage-boosting gear. One of the users that surprised us the most during the scrims was Oceara, fitting perfectly with its Hurry-Wart trait. We’re eager to see players cook up ideas we missed in the testing phase!

Techniques

New Technique: Fiery Ballad

Type: Fire

Damage: 95

STA cost: 25

Hold: 1

Priority: Normal

Attack Category: Physical

Target: Single Target

New Synergy: Fiery Ballad+

In combination with a Wind ally, Fiery Ballad gifts the user with +1 SPD.

Everything else stays the same.

Like with Phantom Whiplash in patch 1.6, we are still looking to add techniques that we think are necessary to the range of possibilities in the game. In this case we introduced a 1 Hold, physical fire move with normal priority. This is something certain Fire-type Tems that have been in the shadows for a long time were in need of. It’s always interesting to introduce synergy techniques to the game, and even more so, if its synergy involves something as key to the game as increasing SPD to the user.

Head Charge

Damage has been increased 80 ⇒ 100.

STA cost has been increased 10 ⇒ 15.

New Synergy: Head Charge+

Synergy with the Crystal type.

Priority increased from ~~Low~~ ⇒ Normal.

In combination with a Crystal ally, Head Charge gifts the user with +1 DEF.

Antitoxins

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

Aquatic Whirlwind

Damage has been reduced ~~130~~ ⇒ 120.

Bubbles

Damage has been increased 27 ⇒ 36.

STA cost has been increased 5 ⇒ 6.

Cold Geyser

STA cost has been reduced 29 ⇒ 25.

Confiscate

Seized Condition turns have been increased from 3 ⇒ 5.

Crystal Tail

Damage has been increased 60 ⇒ 90.

STA cost has been increased 10 ⇒ 14.

With this change we’d like to unlock a new Gear slot for physical Zenoreth set, instead of being forced to run Slingshot for this technique to be interesting enough.

Data Corruption

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

STA cost has been increased 17 ⇒ 26.

Dim Mak

Damage has been increased ~~100~~ ⇒ 130.

Drought

Doesn’t overexert the user anymore.

Electromagnetism

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

Execution

Added new effect: If this technique knocks an opponent out, the user gets +2 ATK and +2 SPATK.

Fiery Heist +

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

Seized turns have been reduced from 4 ⇒ 3.

Burned turns have been reduced from 4 ⇒ 3.

Footwork

Added new effect: Gifts the user with the Invigorated Condition for 2 turns.

The whole description now reads as follows: Footwork gifts the user with SPD +2 and the Invigorated Condition for 2 turns.

Glass Blade

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

Damage has been increased 45 ⇒ 55.

Hasty Lunge

Previous effects no longer work. It no longer overexerts the user for the next turn.

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

Damage has been reduced 90 ⇒ 80.

STA cost has been reduced 25 ⇒ 20.

Hasty Lunge +

STA cost has been reduced 25 ⇒ 20.

Priority remains High.

Hologram

STA cost has been increased 10 ⇒ 15.

Leech

Leech +

Heal via damage dealt has been increased ~~50%~~ ⇒ 55%.

Look Out

Targeting changed from Single Target to Single Team.

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

Magma Cannon

Hold has been reduced 2 ⇒ 1.

Burn ticks have been reduced 3 ⇒ 2.

Martial Strike

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

STA cost has been reduced 15 ⇒ 11.

Mirror Shell

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

Penance

Self inflicted damage has been increased from ~~20%~~ ⇒ 100%.

STA cost has been reduced 5 ⇒ 0.

With the previous buff to Straw Shield, Loatle has been overperforming. Because of his typings, Loatle has one of the best tech pools in the game, resulting in a huge advantage for the player who had Loatle open during the pick & ban phase. This change, while massive at first glance, allows for Loatle players to decide if they want to boost defense (with Sacrifice) or offense before losing Loatle, allowing also for its Seppuku trait to trigger in an easier way.

Plague

STA cost has been reduced 31 ⇒ 28.

Pollution

Hold turns have been increased from 2 ⇒ 3.

Poison turns have been increased 2 ⇒ 3.

STA cost has been increased from 22 ⇒ 26.

STA drain has been increased from ~~25%~~ ⇒ 35% of target(s) maximum STA.

STA cost has been increased 22 ⇒ 26.

Refreshing Breeze +

Targeting has been changed from ~~Single Target~~ ⇒ Single Team.

Priority has been reduced from ~~Very High~~ ⇒ Low.

STA cost has been increased 22 ⇒ 26.

New description and effect read as follows: If used with a Nature ally, gifts the whole team +3 SPDEF without removing status conditions.

The game has been lacking techniques that could buff SPDEF for quite some time now. When we decided to rework this technique, it felt like the right call to make it a “special” Bark Shield with synergy, especially since this technique was already interacting with SPDEF but seeing close to no use.

Sandstorm

Damage has been reduced 80 ⇒ 70.

New effect: Inflicts the Isolation Condition for 2 turns to both targets.

Smoldering Kiss

Damage has been increased 50 ⇒ 61.

STA cost has been increased 9 ⇒ 12.

This is a simple change to reduce Tyranak’s hitting power with Slingshot.

Sparkling Bullet +

Damage has been increased 98 ⇒ 105.

Spores

STA cost has been increased 5 ⇒ 8.

Stone Trench

Damage has been increased 75 ⇒ 80.

STA cost has been increased 25 ⇒ 27.

Swarm’s Aid

Hold turns have been reduced 3 ⇒ 2.

Tornado

Damage has been reduced ~~125~~ ⇒ 110.

Toxic Slime

Damage has been reduced 80 ⇒ 65.

Toxin Shower

Damage has been reduced 61 ⇒ 60.

Trample

Hold turns have been reduced 4 ⇒ 3.

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

Stamina cost has been reduced from 9 ⇒ 7.

Wastewater

Damage has been reduced 90 ⇒ 80.

STA cost has been reduced 29 ⇒ 27.

Traits

New Trait: Dispersion

Trait description and effect: +20% damage inflicted with damaging, multi-target Techniques.

Heat Discharge

Burn turns have been reduced from 3 ⇒ 2.

The Burn ticks now are now applied to both rivals.

When knocked out, both rivals get the Burned Status Condition for 2 turns.

Ruminant

Previous effects no longer work.

New effect: When hit by an enemy Nature technique, damage is reduced by 50% and receives +1 ATK.

The intended thought process behind this change was to give Minothor a trait that is almost as good as the Rusher trait is. After reading feedback from the players when Ruminant was first leaked, we decided to wait and see how this trait performs before applying any further changes to it, but we will monitor it closely and add extra changes if it turns out to be too weak.

Confined

It now triggers each time Tortenite gets trapped, not only when the attacker traps itself.

New description: When getting the Trapped status condition, gets +1 DEF and +1 SPDEF.

Motivator

STA regeneration increased from ~~10%~~ to 15%.

Natural Conversion

Damage reduction from Nature techniques has been removed.

The whole description now reads as follows: While using any other non-Nature type technique, deal 25% more damage.

Safe Retreat

Removed the once-per-battle condition.

Regenerating turns have been reduced from 2 ⇒ 1.

The whole description now reads as follows: When leaving the battlefield, the Temtem receives 1 turn of Regenerating.

Seismic

Damage has been increased from 7% ⇒ 10%.

Gears

New Gear: Cable Link

If the holder takes part in a synergy technique, both the holder and the ally regain 10% of their max Stamina.

So far we had no Gear that interacted with one of Temtem’s unique game mechanics, synergies. After multiple tests, we feel like this gear is way stronger than other Stamina gears in the right team compositions, while it’s weaker than these same gears when not used correctly. We cannot wait to see how creative you’ll get with this gear.

New Gear: Haz’trap

When knocked out, the attacker gets Trapped for 2 turns.

The gear is revealed at the beginning of the turn.

We have been receiving feedback for some time about how oppressive the opponent’s leads can be, even from the picks and bans phase, and how in many occasions the first two turns’ offsets have too much weight in the game. With the design of Haz’trap we want to make it easier to look for an even exchange in the early stages of the game, even being able to trap the opponent’s key Tem, and aim to weaken it in the next turn. This gear will be revealed at the beginning of the turn, so both players will have to prepare their move around it, and further assess the range of possibilities and how the field situation may change in the next turn. During scrims we saw that any fragile and fast Tem is a good holder of this gear, but we are looking forward to see what strategies come out around it.

New Gear: Power Bank

Offensive techniques gain a 6.5% damage boost per hold.

Similar to Cable Link, we like gears that interact with Temtem’s unique mechanics. Hold is another one of these, and testing showed this gear played well. We found lots of Temtem that benefit from this gear (more than just Turoc!), and even discovered some new builds that it enables. We think that Power Bank is especially relevant and interesting for special attackers, as some of these tems, depending on their type, were lacking a damage-boosting gear. One of the users that surprised us the most during the scrims was Oceara, fitting perfectly with its Hurry-Wart trait. We’re eager to see players cook up ideas we missed in the testing phase!

Adrenaline Shot

Previous effects no longer work.

Once per battle, when the holder would lose a turn by cause of Overexertion because of lack of STA, the turn penalty is prevented.

Hopeless Tonic

Previous effects no longer work.

Once per battle, if the Temtem is the last ally standing, it gets the Evading and Invigorated Status Conditions for 2 turns, and gets +2 SPD.

This gear never really shone since its release, and its description was already way too complicated for us to add any more effects to it. Instead, we decided to completely change its effect while keeping the initial intentions of the gear. Pairing Evasion and the Invigorated status effect, as well as giving +2 SPD to the user, allows it to handle 1 vs 2 situations more easily, while not being a game-breaking gear if the player manages to pull it off.

Redirection device

Previous effects no longer work.

Renamed to “Proxy Kit” due to the new effects of the gear.

When the ally is targeted by a Digital technique, damage is reduced by 50%.

The gear is now revealed at the beginning of the turn.

This gear gave us many headaches in terms of balancing. First, it was too match-up dependent, then it saw close to no play after its latest change in 1.4. With these changes we hope to see this gear back in play in specific teams that accumulate digital weaknesses. We hope it won’t be as frustrating to deal with as its previous version for digital Temtem players. Moreover, this new behavior of the gear allows players to have a way to somehow resist Digital Techniques, which was a common request from the community.

Building Blocks

Turns to trigger have been reduced from 3 ⇒ 2.

Straw Shield

The holder needs to stay on the field for at least 2 consecutive turns for the effect to be able to trigger.

Straw Shield has definitely been one of the most used gear of patch 1.6.2 because of how strong it was. While we are very happy with the percentage of use of the gear, we felt that, because it required no set up from the players, the gear allowed for too many openers and could make a good pick & ban selection worthless for the player who did not run this gear. This change, while being simple, allows for more counter play from the opponent and requires more thought process from the player.

Known issues:

KNOWN ISSUE FOR CONSOLES: You won’t be able to use Feathers to purchase items from the Store until 1.7.1.

This bug has been corrected for patch 1.7.1, which will be sent to certification on the very day we launch 1.7. It shouldn’t take more than two weeks to be certified and launched.

You will still be able to purchase the Tamer Pass with either Novas or Feathers. The bug only affects the daily and weekly Premium Store.

We didn’t want to postpone 1.7 any longer by re-starting the certification process, so we’ve opted for a new, quick build containing the fix, which is 1.7.1.

We deeply apologize for the inconveniences this might cause.

a bug that causes both players to get hard-stuck in combat caused by interactions between the Kaleidoscope gear and some traits.

Fixed following server maintenance on June 12th.

Temtem – Ver. 1.6.2

Release date: March 25th 2024 (North America, Europe, Japan)
Patch notes:

Improvements

We’ve added the character name and TamerID to the section in Settings where you could check your Support ID.

We’ve correctly updated Bunbun and Hidody’s Umbra Radar prices and they now match that of similar Tems.

Balance

PvE

We’ve increased the the bonus that the Isolated Status Conditions offers while capturing Temtem, from ~~1.0x~~ ⇒ 1.3x.

We’re aware that removing Cage from some Tems may affect some capture methods in the PvE environment. We hope that we can provide useful and valid alternatives for PvE players by making Isolated have the same catch rate bonus.

We have removed Venx from Musa’s Rematch roster.

PvP

Temtem

#012 – Tateru

Resilient has been removed from its traits.

Burglar has been added to its traits.

#021 – Bunbun

Resilient has been removed from its traits.

Camaraderie has been added to its traits.

#022 – Mudrid

STA has been increased 44 ⇒ 52

The nerf to Deluge affects Mudrid, as it is one of the key moves in its kit. We know that a simple STA buff may not be enough, so we have already prepared more changes for this Temtem in patch 1.7.

#031 – Rhoulder

STA has been increased 51 ⇒ 58

#052 – Owlhe

Furor has been removed from its traits.

Sentinel has been added to its traits.

#084 – Mushi

Resilient has been removed from its traits.

Receptive has been added to its traits.

#094 – Seismunch

SPDEF has been increased 43 ⇒ 54.

Seismunch has been MIA for several meta cycles, so we’ve decided to apply “the Saipat treatment” and considerably increase its bulk in the Special Defense department.

#114 – Gazuma

Tornado has been removed from its tech pool.

Blizzard is now learned at level 67.

Cage has been removed from its tech pool.

Electromagnetism is now learned at level 85.

This group of adjustments is the type of change we have planned for patch 1.7, so it serves as a small leak for the next patch. We consider that Gazuma has been central for many consecutive meta cycles thanks to its typing and tools. That’s why we intend to keep its support role intact, but we lower its offensive pressure by removing Tornado from its kit. On the removal of Cage and addition of Electromagnetism: this tech might not very interesting right now, but we are preparing a small buff for it.

#130 – Tuwai

Resilient has been removed from its traits.

Air specialist has been added to its traits.

#139 – Vulor

Individualist has been removed from its traits.
Resilient has been added to its traits.

#152 – Minox

Body stretch has been removed from its traits.

Resilient has been added to its traits.

Techniques

Harmful Microwaves

The type to activate its synergy has been changed from ~~Electric~~ ⇒ Fire.

Digi-cores have been quite the headache for us to balance around. We have especially struggled with the combo of Monkko and Zaobian, that had no safe switch-ins in the whole game, all while giving each other the chance to enact a hard-hitting high priority technique on turn 1. We believe this change, while simple, will give a new life to the whole archetype.

This also slightly helps break the combo with Gazuma, and leaves the core much more exposed as the archetype loses coverage. We can’t wait to see what new combos appear with this change, such as Hazrat-Water Chromeon, Capyre-Neutral Chromeon…

Blue Screen

Priority has been reduced from ~~Normal~~ ⇒ Low.

You might be wondering why we decided to go with a low priority instead of normal priority. With this change we want to break away from frustrating situations while using this tech. We know there are still ways to make this tech high priority again (namely along Nagaise’s Deceit Aura), but we believe that combo to be very specific, and manageable through pick and ban countering and planning. We hope to solve the situation of getting both of your Tems perma-locked, or at least reduce it to only in very specific situations, with a very specific combo.

Crystal Deluge

Hold has been increased 1 ⇒ 2.

STA has been reduced 29 ⇒ 25.

Crystal Deluge (Synergy)

Hold has been increased 1 ⇒ 2.

STA has been reduced 29 ⇒ 25.

Crystal Deluge, paired with Blue screen, has been one of the reasons the sleep archetype has been so strong lately. We believe increasing the hold while maintaining the 2 turns of sleep will give the players more time to react and adapt than before. We will keep a close eye on the performance of this tech in case it’s necessary to return to the original hold, but with an adjustment to the Asleep turns it applies.

Traits

Bird Season

Damage has been increased ~~66%~~ ⇒ 100%.

Burglar

Removed the “once per battle” condition.

Removed the “when inflicting x status conditions”.

Burglar can now disable two gears at once, if the technique triggering it affects multiple targets.

New effect: When hitting a target that is already affected by the asleep or exhausted status condition, its gear gets disabled until the end of the match.

Team Elusive

It now prevents multi-targeting negative status techniques as well.

New description: Prevents any offensive multi-target technique.

We believe we may have been too hard on Vulffy by removing Sludge Gift & nerfing his main trait. With a slight rework to Burglar, we decided to bring back Team Elusive’s old behavior as we understood his trait wasn’t the reason Vulffy was so strong in the past.

Resilient

SPD Stage modifications have been reduced from +3⇒ +2.

We think that Resilient has a too high value as long as it keeps its design. That’s why we have decided to change the distribution of this trait, and keep it only for Temtem that are in their second stage of evolution, thus avoiding PvE problems with the radars and balance problems in PvP.

Adaptive

Now triggers before taking a hit.

Special attack buff reduced from +2 ⇒ +1.

New description: Once per battle, before being attacked, changes the Temtem’s secondary typing to the type of the incoming technique and gets SPATK +1.

Adaptive and Reactive Vial have a very strange interaction. The way the game engine handles them means it must work like this, or the (bugged) way it was working in the past. Having Adaptive trigger after receiving damage is what causes the bug with Reactive Vial, which forces us to choose which of the two behaviors we would prefer, as the game engine leaves us no room for a 3rd “perfect” option.

Gears

Straw Shield

Damage reduction has been increased ~~50%~~ ⇒ 75%

The gear is now revealed at the beginning of the turn.

Tucma Mask

Previous effects no longer work.

New effect: Tucma Mask prevents the Poisoned Status Condition.

Fixed seeing Mimit as transformed in our game if we had just seen a replay where it was transformed.

Fixed that we could be unable to see the hold on Mimit’s techniques if its HP had been altered outside of combat with medicine items. When he’s cute but problematic.

Fixed Straw Shield triggering after a Temtem with the Nullified Status Condition received a highly effective Tech.

Fixed seeing the notification for Slingshot twice if the Tem carrying it performed Bright Beam.

Fixed Goolder’s infectious triggering and acting on Tems that are not on the battlefield. He’s just that powerful.

Fixed Arachnyte’s type changing through Adaptive before receiving the incoming Technique that triggers the trait.

Fixed a desync regarding Mimit’s HP after it had copied a Tem with more TVs allocated on that Stat.

Fixed seeing the wrong type on Arachnyte and Zaobian if they change types at turn 1 and we turn back to turn 0 during a replay.

Fixed TMR Decay notifications not disappearing after using the Clear All button.

Fixed Seals not being visible in Replays under certain conditions.

Fixed losing the tints on the head cosmetics if we unequip it after starting a Challenge Mode run. Hair is everything.

Fixed being able to purchase the OP Seal, which should only be obtainable by completing the OP Kudo. Lying is a big non-non.

Fixed an incorrect flow of conversation with Masha and Dolores in Arbury.

Fixed being able to hang decoration on some invisible walls in some Housing Layouts, and then being unable to remove that decoration.

Fixed the visual effects for Seismunch’s Wreck, which were showing displaced rocks in combat against other NPCs or Players if the attack was carried out by their Temtem on the right.

Fixed not seeing the Book in the Eldritch Summoning emote.

Fixed having the rotate option for Titles on the Store.

Fixed seeing the bonfire change place in the preview every time we hovered over the emote icon. Oh I know of a game where you have to follow bonfires around…

Fixed the text “Current Game” being left untranslated in the Challenge Modes section.

Fixed seeing an incorrect message if you tried to play on two linked platforms at the same time.

Fixed some outdated information in the Dojo Wars’ in-game tutorial.

Fixed a handful of cases where the word étalon had not been replaced by coursier in French.

Fixed Raize’s description being the wrong one in the Tempedia in Japanese.

Fixed an error in the Spanish dialogue of the Tired Pilgrim.

Switch

Fixed a black screen when launching the game while in battle.

Temtem – Server Hotfix

Release date: March 6th 2024 (North America, Europe, Japan)
Patch notes:

Fixed some Umbra and Luma not properly unlocking in Showdown.

Please note! This fixes the issue moving forward, but players already suffering from the issue need to take one little step to fix it manually. Simply take away 1 TV from the Tem, then add it back, and the Umbra/Luma version will be unlocked in Showdown.

Fixed not being able to unlink two accounts in cross-progression if the main account was a console account.

Fixed dealing the wrong amount of damage on the turn when Attack-T triggers.

Fixed the type not changing correctly on the turn when Adaptive triggers.

Fixed that Goolder’s infectious trait would trigger and affect Tems that are not in battle.

Temtem – Ver. 1.6.0

Release date: January 29th 2024 (North America, Europe, Japan)
Patch notes:

Important Notice

As of 1.6, we’re retiring events from Temtem.

Events were planned as a fun little addition for endgame players to continue having tasks to work on, and goals to work towards. However, as it’s happened with some features in the past, they weren’t to the liking of us team, nor you Tamers.

The feedback you’ve given us is invaluable and we’ve heard all of your suggestions. Still, we’re unable to carry out the suggestions provided nor fulfill your expectations at this time of development, nor in the foreseeable future. They’re not an easy feat to code, fix and patch promptly, and as they are now, they’re causing more headaches and dissatisfaction than happiness.

On a brighter note, we are giving all players the cosmetics for the Valentamers event that didn’t see the light last year. No work needed for these ones! We will post the redeem instructions on Valentine’s Day so be on the lookout!

From now on, you won’t be able to reset your character if you have an ongoing Challenge Mode run.

This change is to prevent the many issues that the intersection between cross-progression and Challenge runs was causing.

When you try to reset your main character, you’ll get an error message if you have an active Challenge Mode run. You’ll need to try again after deleting your Challenge Mode run. There is no cooldown for this.

Likewise, when you try to link two platforms via cross-progression, you’ll get an error message if you have an active Challenge Mode run. You’ll need to delete your Challenge Mode run. There is no cooldown for this.

New Stuff

The Replays system is now in-game!

Replays are saved automatically and players don’t need to turn on anything or worry about it.

All competitive PVP matches will have their replay stored, including those from friendly PVP, ranked matchmaking, in-game tournaments, and dojo wars.

A total of 10 replays are saved for each player. When this limit is reached, the oldest replays will be automatically deleted to give space to new ones. Players can also pin up to 3 additional replays, which will be kept safe and won’t be deleted automatically.

Players can also watch replays from other players freely, all from the new Replay section of the competitive screen.

While watching a replay, players can pause the game, go forward/backward a turn, or even go to a specific turn.

Please note there’s a known issue regarding replays on Switch: to avoid a bug, the turn selector is unavailable at this time, and one cannot skip forward nor backwards inside a given replay. We’re working on having these issues corrected for patch 1.6.1, apologies for the inconveniences!

Improved emote wheel, now with pages!

Tired of not knowing where to place your 72+ emotes? You’ll now get an array of up to 10 pages that you can easily circle between to place your sprays, emotes and holos.

You can fill up to 12 emotes, holos or sprays per page, summing up to a whopping 120 emotes, holos or spray that you can easily access now. No more having to pick and choose!

You don’t have to do anything extra for these pages! Enjoy a wider array of expressions.

Added a Found location to the Details UI.

You’ll now be able to see where a Temtem can be found: it’ll show the approximate location and the exact island where you found it.

The Found location section appears in the Details screen of any Temtem, under the Original Tamer name.

You don’t need to have caught that Temtem to see its found location! You also don’t need to be the OT. You can see the found location of all Tems, just like that.

This will help you locate any Temtem species you might want to catch, as well as determine the approximate level at which you found a Temtem by checking out the level of other Tems in that area. While it’s fantastic for new players, we hope existing players can make use of this new feature too!

There are a few exceptional cases: Starters will all appear as being from Zadar, Deniz; Tems that are hatched will have the location of the Breeding Center in Omninesia; Tems that are provided to you by an NPC will have the location of that NPC.

Please note: there’s a known issue with previously existing Tems before this patch that were obtained by breeding. While most of them will keep their found location as Breeding Center, those that can also appear as untamed on the first route, will say the name of the route as their location instead of the breeding center.

TemCard swapping is now available!

This is a highly requested feature that will allow you to change the containing TemCard of any given Temtem.

You’ll need to own the TemCard you want to transfer that Tem to, with a cost of 250 Luma Drops.

Mythical Temtem, and even the Anahir line, can be moved to different TemCards too!

TemCard swapping takes place in the basement of Nanto Labs, in Neoedo.

Temtem types are now shown on PvP battles!

During a PvP battle, the type of each Temtem will be displayed next to its avatar during the Pick&Ban phase, and in the Battle Log.

This will help with clarity, especially for those Tems that can have multiple types, and with the addition of Umbras.

The TemCS World Champion, aarrggnn, will now have a permanent commemorative trophy statue on Tamer’s Paradise, which will display his name and title as the TemCS World Champion!

We’ve added sound effects to some emotes that were missing in 1.5! Enjoy hearing your emotes in the new emote wheel.

Improvements

We have improved the precision of the target selector during matches while using a mouse. This will prevent most cases where the selector moved to the Temtem on the side accidentally.

We’ve improved the control system behind instrument playing. All instruments have been reviewed and their animations improved!

We’ve improved the clarity of the Dojo Rematches’ UI so it’s easier to see which option is highlighted, and selected.

Balance

General

We’ve improved the amount of Stamina recovered upon resting.

We’ve gone from 1 + CEIL(20% max STA) to 4 + CEIL(25% max STA).

Both the fixed and the variable numbers have been buffed, so you should see a considerable improvement in your STA recovery when resting.

We’ve improved or modified the bonus that some Status Conditions offer while capturing Temtem.

Burnt ~~1.25x~~ ⇒ 1.4x

Poisoned ~~1.25x~~ ⇒ 1.4x

Exhausted ~~1.1x~~ ⇒ 1.3x

Seized ~~1.1x~~ ⇒ 1.3x

Cold ~~1.2x~~ ⇒ 1.3x

Trapped ~~1.2x~~ ⇒ 1.3x

Alerted ~~0.8x~~ ⇒ 1x

Evading ~~0.5x~~ ⇒ 0.8x

Asleep, Frozen, Vigorized and Doomed have not been changed.

Competitive

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

Phantom Whiplash

Type: Mental

Damage: 135

STA: 22

Hold: 2

Priority: High

Attack Category: Special

Target: One Target

The other star addition alongside Straw Shield. The mental type has long been in need of a more impactful priority technique than Energy Manipulation. We believe that 2 hold is the right fit for this technique as mental tems, despite being fragile, have access to or synergize with sleep control moves.

Tireless

ATK Stage modification has been reduced 2 ⇒ 1.

New effect: The damage this Temtem receives from OX is reduced by 50%.

Tireless has been too strong for too long, and it finally takes a hit from the nerf hammer. This trait has been a big part of the meta for a while now, but we wanted to avoid gutting it entirely. It has a new effect to compensate for the loss of direct power, and we hope it will be in a healthier spot going forward.

Welcomer

Previous effect: Once per battle, when an ally enters the battlefield, the ally gets evading for 1 turn.

New effect: Once per battle, when the Temtem has spent 1 turn on the battlefield, the ally gets evading for 1 turn.

The popularity of this trait has dropped at the end of the patch but we still think it has a very strong impact, as it didn’t need any kind of set-up. It was a trait that can be frustrating to deal with. To avoid these snowball situations from the lead, we’re going to make the trait have a prep turn and make its focus and gameplay more skillful.

#153 – Maoala

Zen Meditation is removed from its movepool.

Once per battle, after 2 consecutive turns in battle, rivals get asleep for 2 ⇒ 1 turns.

The combo of Hypnotist plus Zen Meditation in the same turn is excessive. We think that with this trait design we should break this combo and have the other temtem provide the set-up, rather than Maoala doing it all in one.

However, we feel that the effect of putting opponents to sleep for two turns is excessive, as it forces you to reposition if you don’t want to lose the entire tempo of the game, so we have also decided to nerf this aspect of the trait for the time being. We know it’s a very aggressive nerf, so we’ll keep a close eye on Maoala during the patch in case its trait needs another turn of the screw.

Temtem

#004 – [Mental] Chromeon

[NEW] Phantom Whiplash has been added to its movepool.

#008 – Platox

SPATK has been increased 76 ⇒ 81.

Resistant has been removed from its traits.

[NEW] Toxifier has been added to its traits.

Resilient has been removed from its traits.

Toxic Farewell has been added to its traits.

#015 – Magmut

[NEW] Trample has been added to its movepool.

We are giving Magmut some love this patch. This Temtem has usually used a “clunky” set in competitive battles, with multiple slots used on buffing itself offensively and defensively and then (most of the time) two offensive techniques. We created Trample to smooth out its gameplan by combining offensive buffing and damage in one technique. We also wanted to make sure we didn’t give preference to physical or special sets, so we had it work, regardless of your build.

#028 – Skunch

ATK reduced from 71 ⇒ 68

#038 – Capyre

Resilient has been removed from its traits.

[NEW] Ignite Protection has been added to its traits.

#040 – Azuroc

ATK has been increased 58 ⇒ 68.

DEF has been increased 69 ⇒ 75.

SPDEF has been increased 62 ⇒ 67.

Major Slash has been added to its movepool as a TC.

[NEW] Crystal Tail has been added to its movepool.

#041 – Zenoreth

[NEW] Crystal Tail has been added to its movepool.

#043 – Aohi

[NEW] Phantom Whiplash has been added to its movepool.

#056 – Myx

[NEW] Phantom Whiplash has been added to its movepool.

#057 – Raize

Fiery Heist has been added to its movepool.

Furor has been removed from its traits.

[NEW] Ignite Protection has been added to its traits.

#085 – Mushook

ATK has been increased 80 ⇒ 84

#108 – Goolder

Slime has been added to its movepool.

Strong Liver has been removed from its traits.

Infectious has been added to its traits.

Strong Liver Goolder has always been an example of a Temtem that’s working against itself. Healing off of toxic techniques instead of taking damage is a great effect in a vacuum, but not when the damage gets halved by your resistance to Toxic before being converted to HP. We saw this patch as an opportunity to give Goolder a trait that it can use more effectively, and chose the new Infectious as that replacement. Combined with poison ticks from Toxic Ink, we expect Infectious Goolder to be a very strong niche pick against Temtem that want to play passively and defensively.

#115 – Oceara

Water blade is removed from its movepool.

Aqua bullet hell has been added to its movepool.

#144 – Vulffy

DEF has been increased 55 ⇒ 58.

#153 – Maoala

Zen Meditation is removed from its movepool.

#156 – Vental

[NEW] Phantom Whiplash has been added to its movepool.

#157 – Chimurian

Crystal Plume Gatling is now learned at level 90.

#158 – Arachnyte

Overclock has been added to its movepool.

Techniques

Phantom Whiplash

New Mental type technique. Single target, Special Attack category.

Damage: 135

STA cost: 22

Hold: 2

Priority: High

Crystal Tail

New Crystal type Technique. Single target, Physical Attack category.

Only available for Zenoreth and Azuroc

Damage: 60

STA cost: 10

Hold: 0

Priority: Normal

Trample

New Melee type Technique. Targets entire team, Special Attack category.

Signature move for Magmut.

Damage: 120

STA cost: 14

Hold: 4

Priority: Low

If any enemy Tem is knocked out, it applies +3 ATK/ +3 SPATK to the caster.

Trample+

Synergy with Melee.

The synergy to Trample changes the nature of its attack from ~~Special~~ ⇒ Physical.

Everything else stays the same.

Bamboozle

Hold turns have been reduced 1 ⇒ 0.

New effect: After using this technique for the first time in battle, it will have hold 1 for the rest of the match.

This technique has historically been a nightmare for us, in balance. We didn’t like how it made battles play out at 0-hold, but nerfing to 1-hold seemed to be too much. With no middle ground between 1 and 0, we had a difficult time figuring out how to change Bamboozle. We were able to get this effect working, and hope it brings Bamboozle back without it being overwhelming.

Rush

Hold turns have been reduced 1 ⇒ 0.

Tesla Prison

STA cost raised from 14 ⇒ 19.

Serbatiyo’s Wrath

SPATK stat stage change increased from SPATK +1 to SPATK +2.

STA Cost from 30 ⇒ 35.

Aqua Stone

Damage has been increased 80 ⇒ 105

Aqua Stone+

Damage has been increased 104 ⇒ 135

Traits

Resilient

Previous effects no longer work.

New Effect: Once per battle, when knocked-out due to technique damage, prevents getting knocked-out, gets Doom for 1 turn and SPD+3.

Digi-protection

Added effect: Ally’s damage taken by Digital techniques is also reduced by 30%.

The whole description now reads as follows: When an ally is damaged by a Digital technique, damage is reduced by 30%. When the Temtem is damaged by a Digital technique, damage is reduced by 75%.

Toxifier [New]

When attacking with a Physical Toxic technique, the Temtem uses its SPATK instead and increases its damage by 10%.

Ignite Protection [New]

Once per battle, when the Temtem is attacked, the attacker receives 2 turns of Burn.

Gotta Go Fast

From now on, Gotta Go Fast only works with techniques with more than 0 Hold.

Tireless

ATK Stage modification has been reduced 2 ⇒ 1.

New effect: The damage this Temtem receives from OX is reduced by 50%.

Tireless has been too strong for too long, and it finally takes a hit from the nerf hammer. This trait has been a big part of the meta for a while now, but we wanted to avoid gutting it entirely. It has a new effect to compensate for the loss of direct power, and we hope it will be in a healthier spot going forward.

Infectious

Previous effects no longer work.

New effect: All healing is negated while the Temtem is in the battlefield.

This trait has been weak for a long time, simply because it was far too niche to ever be worth considering. We’ve changed the effect into something less narrow, and we see it being an option to counter strategies that rely a lot on healing, but still niche enough to not see use as a generic trait, which is a place we’re okay with it occupying.

Welcomer

Previous effects no longer work.

New effect: Once per battle, when the Temtem has spent 1 turn on the battlefield, the ally gets evading for 1 turn.

Bully

Damage multiplier has been increased 25% ⇒ 30%

Mucous

Freeze has been added to the list of Status Conditions this trait has immunity to.

Parrier

Damage reduction has been increased 20% ⇒ 25%.

Water Synthetize

Previous effects no longer work.

New effect: When attacked with a water technique, instead of receiving damage restores HP by 125% of that damage.

Protostar

Doom turns have been increased 5 ⇒ 6 turns.

Supernova

Doom turns have been increased 5 ⇒ 6 turns.

Hypnotist

Asleep turns have been reduced 2 ⇒ 1 turn.

Gears

Straw Shield

Now available outside of Tamer’s Paradise. Please note: These changes affect both the DraftArena and the Evershifting Tower versions of the Gear.

Previous effects no longer work.

New effect: Prevents 50% of the damage from the first super-effective technique received.

Can be purchased from the Gear shop at Tucma.

Straw Shield is one of the new additions that we think will have the biggest impact on the format. We believe this gear can finally give some temtems with x4 weaknesses the space they need (yes, this gear only protects against x4 attacks). We will be keeping a close eye on the performance of this gear and how it performs for its potential users.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: As of 1.6, Straw Shield cannot be equipped on competitive squads due to a bug. This will be fixed in 1.6.1

Matcha

Previous effects no longer work.

New effect: Prevents the Cold Status Condition and, upon resting, removes the Frozen Status Condition and restores 40% of max STA.

Slingshot

Techniques with base damage lower than 60 and priority lower than High deal ~~30%~~ ⇒ 50% more damage.

Fixes

Umbras not being unlocked in Showdown after being evolved and raising their TVs using the Fruit Blender.

Tyranak’s Intimidator not being activated in the third turn after entering the battlezone through a manual swap.

HP desync when using Chain Lightning with Inductor.

Inductor’s effect being multiplied when another Temtem uses a multi-target technique.

Very Low Priority techniques being executed before other priorities under some circunstances.

Cosmetic sets equipped in the normal game mode not appearing on Challenge modes.

Some cases where the Temtem portrait could appear duplicated in the Temtem UI.

Not being able to untrack a quest in the normal game mode after tracking that quest in a Challenge run.
