As part of the upcoming Station Combat implementation, we are releasing our first balance pass for all stations. All of the changes are listed in the change log below, modifiers can be found here. Station Combat is currently available in Showdowns only, a feedback thread for Station Combat balance can be found here. The Rules team will also be monitoring the Feedback channel on discord.

The Rules team will also be running some admin showdowns in the near future, these will not be tournaments but will have XP enabled. More information regarding this showdowns will be posted in the Showdown Discord Server

And finally a big thank you to all the rules team members responsible for this update but a big thank you to Dak and Lyle!
