Albertospinos Rebalance
Hello Explorers! Ludia surprised us today with an announcement about a rebalance for the creature Albertospinos. This is what the post said:
Hello DPG members!
Following our latest update, we’ve noticed through analysis that Albertospinos isn’t performing the way it should be in relation to its design intentions. Therefore, we are adjusting the creature’s Stats and Abilities.
The changes to Stats will be available in the game February 23rd, 2022.
The new ability will be available in the upcoming 2.14 Update.
These changes ensure that Albertospinos will meet its original design intentions. Here’s a sneak peek of the new ability, Merciless Alert, below!

Attack: 1200 to1450
Health: 3900 to 4200
Speed: 124 to 125
Critical Hit Chance: 10% to 15%

Speed Decrease Resistance: 50% to 100%
Damage Over Time Resistance: 25% to 75%

MERCILESS ALERT

Thanks for playing and fight on!
What are the changes?
Okay, so there's a lot to unpack with this one. Since the stats changes occurred in-game today, we'll start with that. It received an increase in Attack, Health, Speed, and Critical chance. It also has a higher resistance to DOT as well as being immune to speed decrease now. This is a HUGE change for this creature. When this creature was first introduced in the notes, people were so excited to finally get a viable Fierce in the arena. When it was released in-game, its stats were less than satisfactory and it was barely usable as it lose to the one class it was meant to counter: resilient. The increase in HP and slow immunity allows it to live long enough to get more than a couple of hits off before dying. It can better counter the Apex Bear as well as Ankylos Lux. This is a good change that people have been asking for and we are excited to see them implement it now instead of waiting for a new update.
In addition to the change in stats, Albertospinos will be getting a new move in 2.14. It's called Merciless Alert and it will be replacing Lethal Swoop. This new move looks like an improved version of Lethal Swoop, especially in the threatened state. We like that it attacks in both the secure and threatened state and we can't wait to see it in action when the new update is released.
Parting Words
It's nice to see that Ludia is listening to the community and making appropriate changes as needed. We are excited to see what additional changes might be coming in 2.14 and we hope we get a teaser soon. This is the step in the right direction if Ludia continues to listen to community feedback.
