Season 6 of Battlegrounds saw spells arrive in the tavern to shake up the meta. Many servants were therefore removed, while others were added to Bob’s long list. On the hero side, new faces have also appeared with their own mechanics. But it’s time to make some changes to ensure that no one can dominate too easily.

What impacts on the meta for patch 28.2.3
With the first balancing made to Battlegrounds with patch 28.2.3, some spells lose power. But more generally, the servants undergo a number of modifications. As for the heroes, it is mainly their armor that is impacted to prevent some from dominating. Overall, a majority of the changes made to heroes serve to reduce their power.
