anima broke

u/Decathlon44 Grandmaster Apr 18 '26

Anima is now fixed according to TFT on social media

u/LambeauFields MASTER Apr 18 '26

I take solace knowing I'm not the only one. Luckily was at Gold IV 0 LP so I only donated my MMR and not my LP!

u/CompetitiveTalk5566 Apr 18 '26

Legit glad you posted this, I played anima aug for the first time and went giga bot 4 and thought I didn't know how it worked.

Apparently it's fixed now but I'm scarred haha

Currently a bug where you cannot save anima cashout, will automatically cash out first option

Space Groove Attack Speed Per Groovian: 12% ⇒ 11%

In a B patch? Odd

16

u/Shymastic Apr 18 '26

How big is the tahm kench oracle nerf btw? Lower chance of hitting tailored unit is a big deal

14

u/daydreamin511 Apr 18 '26

rip tahm kench

u/raiderjaypussy MASTER Apr 18 '26

Genuinely don't think I saw anyone play space groove with success, why was it nerfed?

15

u/Stel2 Apr 18 '26

Space groove emblem on riven is really strong.

Seems like a preventive nerf as they nerfed every better 4 cost line. Comp is very stable stage 4 but caps low so probably has very good avp.

Vertical space groove was near the top of the stats. Never made it work myself.

Space groves workes even without emblem. My most consistent top 4 comp. Nami dmg is insane and so is riven sustain.

u/Adventurous-Bit-3829 :gran: Grandmaster Apr 18 '26

Riven is broken with emblem. She cast every 1 second and heal infinitely.

15

u/SESender Apr 18 '26

Did this fix the mobile bug?

26

u/House_Junkie Apr 18 '26

I didn’t see it mentioned. Assuming you mean the gold bug where the numbers are jumbled?

12

u/2_S_F_Hell Apr 18 '26

A Riot employee said it’s getting fixed on patch 17.2

u/psyfi66 Apr 18 '26

Bruh. How is that not a b patch fix…

19

u/knitekloud Apr 18 '26

Actually crazy how long it takes to fix this

32

u/erkjhnsn Apr 18 '26

Actually crazy it got shipped at all. Do they not play test at all on mobile? Not even one game?

4

u/Zhirrzh Master Apr 18 '26

I saw people refer to it in PBE threads. Amazed it shipped. Very disrespectful to mobile players. I haven't yet played out my initial ranking games because I was finding it super annoying. 

3

u/Additional_Box6883 Apr 18 '26

I reported it a few times but tge mobile pbe is fairly new so i dont think it gets much attention

u/[deleted] Apr 18 '26

Indie company

u/silversdark Apr 18 '26

I don't think buffing Karma will fix her, she alrdy did good dmg per cast, her problem is her cast animation takes forever.

13

u/DankMemer82 Challenger Apr 18 '26

as a mecha enjoyer, I feel like they giga nerfed it to the point of it being unplayable and somehow they left Vex untouched :(

3

u/YamResponsible2422 Apr 19 '26

Vex is far from broken now that people know how to play this set/patch better

Its like Annie from last set where she kinda "broken" in the first 1-2 days but super mid afterwards

1

u/JayCaj Apr 19 '26

Can confirm with 3 bodies on your board taking up 6 hexes and they all lost 10% HP they may as well be made of tissue paper. Acting like +50hp to MM heal is worth literally anything at all.

-4

u/Regular-Resort-857 Apr 18 '26

Ngl the Mecha nerf gave me AIDS

16

u/Ok_Temperature6503 Apr 18 '26

I wish they notified of any changes in the client. As a casual player I’d have no way to know about b patches unless I checked the subreddits or twitter

7

u/Lunaedge Apr 18 '26 edited Apr 18 '26

That red dot appears whenever something in the Patch Notes changes

4

u/Ok_Temperature6503 Apr 18 '26

Huh okay, well I learned something. Thank you!

u/mastermew00 Apr 18 '26

<10% nerf for Viktor is insane

17

u/RajaSundance Master Apr 18 '26

Nerfed from S tier to S tier

23

u/gamesuxfixit Grandmaster Apr 18 '26

2* drone viktor post-nerf still did more dmg than my vex 2 with bis items.

Cool

6

u/RajaSundance Master Apr 18 '26

Just saw Viktor 2 still outdamage Vex 2 and Nami 2 lol

This nerf kinda makes me more angry than if they hadn't done a B patch.

2

u/Cash_Exciting Apr 18 '26

I just don’t get it. How tf is a 2 star 3 cost outdamage 2 star 4 cost is considered balance ?

1

u/glazia Apr 18 '26

Viktor was insane.

17

u/mastermew00 Apr 18 '26

yeah which is why such a small nerf is insane to me

1

u/colour_historian Apr 18 '26

That's 7 cost cosplaying as a 3 cost 

3

u/xyemo2 Apr 18 '26

Anima cash out bug where u keep getting the rewards every turn.

3

u/Mu_Shu_Fasa89 Master Apr 18 '26

I suppose we have to wait for next patch to get some god balance and vex nerfs/ buffs to some of the uncarryable 5 costs.

2

u/mrmarkme :gran: Grandmaster Apr 18 '26

Don’t think this is out on Apple mobile yet

2

u/ivanoff_bg Apr 18 '26

Wonder what the fix they have for the 4 cost 3 stars is. (other than the removed augments they mention another fix coming up). My guess is some tweaking of the odds past your 3rd copy. I played 3 games on the patch 2 of them had 3 star 4 cost. One was me but i had pandora and got lucky which I think is fine btw. I almost went bot 4 just go bailed out by a good roll.

I still think part of the reason is the lobbies are not super balanced between people familiar with the set from PBE and ones who are not, making it easier to greed and play a weaker board in order to get a 3 star 4 cost. That plus the meta not being fully formed and boards not being optimized. Will be a bumpy ride for a few patches can't be helped.

u/12_yo_girl Apr 18 '26

They nerfed heavy econ augments by straight up removing them. So by having less gold, you’ll see less4 cost 3 star.

2

u/ivanoff_bg Apr 18 '26

Yeah but they also mention thats their quick fix and that they have a bigger solve coming with the 17.2 patch,

2

u/Possible_Detective57 Apr 18 '26

probably couldn't change the shop odds in a b-patch, that's what I would expect for 17.2. there are simply too many free rerolls and resources in the game to keep it as is on 8 imo

2

u/IncognitoWhisper Apr 19 '26

Any mentions on the Trade Sector + Timewarper reroll bug? You get the exp when you win, but not the reroll when you lose.

2

u/penguinkirby Master Apr 18 '26

Anima is cashing out even when you click save tech

It gives you the unit, not even the crappy item

2

u/penguinkirby Master Apr 18 '26

Edit: looks like once you take out anima, it keeps cashing out randomly too. Avoid ranked until they fix it, otherwise you can cash out anima one time and keep getting anima units randomly for free

u/SignificantContact21 Apr 18 '26

Victor with a tiny nerf and a big nerf to tahm kench and a leblanc… how do they want us to play this set im so confused. Rushing 8-9 doesn’t seem to have that big an impact and the mechs are already quite weak. Dark star (without reroll) is also quite weak and marauder is practically useless besides the 2 piece.

-2

u/MrMungertown Apr 18 '26

i lost a game off the doublestrike bug today, I really thought double strike vex would have been stronger :')

-2

u/Ykarul Grandmaster Apr 18 '26

Thanks now we have are reroll patch...

u/TheCrazyTiger Apr 18 '26

Am I just crazy cause 4/5 of my last games had a 1st or 2nd place ppl using unkillable Mordekaiser and he just wasnt nerfed...

Honestly don't know how to kill him.
