Patch date: . Guide reviewed 2026-11-03. Historical changes can be superseded; use current definitions for a match today.
How this guide was prepared: AI-assisted analysis with a separate source-check pass against archived official notes. Practical decisions are reasoned suggestions, not player-tested results or measured win-rate evidence. A small hotfix receives a short guide rather than a reconstructed full build.
Original update sources
Recorded topics: Heroes. Dates refer to the update named in the notes; a mirrored post can be published later.
Explore Baba’s described abilities
What changed: Baba and her pigeons are available now. The announcement describes Threadsap as stealing enemies’ spirit to grant Baba greater power, and her bench as letting her run, jump, and kick. It also names Baba’s Brews and The Birds, without explaining their effects.
How to adapt: If you try Baba, test how her named abilities work in matches; the announcement gives no detailed mechanics or numbers to establish their exact effects or optimal use.
Plan around the revised Ranked season date
What changed: The first Ranked season now ends Thursday, November 5, 2026 at 2pm PDT, and the next season starts immediately afterward.
How to adapt: Use the revised end date when planning Ranked participation; the announcement gives no changes to Ranked rules or rewards.
Note the next hero introduction
What changed: The announcement says the next hero will be introduced Friday at 2pm PDT; it does not state a date for that Friday.
How to adapt: If you want to follow the next hero reveal, check back Friday at 2pm PDT and confirm the calendar date from an official schedule.
