A huge balance update for Axie Infinity was long overdue—and it’s finally here. Which Axie parts and meta builds will be affected?
The latest PVP Arena is now live, and along with it is a huge list of balance updates to several Axie cards and abilities.
In their recent Season 19 announcement blog post, Sky Mavis devs stated that they made these changes to balance the power of overused cards in the meta, while boosting the power of those less popular ones.
These balance changes were based off of data from the last PVP and off-season meta, leaderboards, and tournaments.
