BattleTabs Ship Balance
When designing ships, there are two things we look for - “is this fun and interesting?”, and “is this balanced?”. Balance is an essential part of ship design, and I wanted to share some of our process!
BattleTabs Emotes and New Ships - See Slug, Magic Mirror
There is a new set of Emotes for you to use - BattleTabs Emotes! This is our very first set of custom emotes. You can find them in the same emote wheel where current emotes are located. Love to know what you all think! 😀

Updates on Coracle, Medium Galleon, and Long Sub, New 2v2 Tournament!
We are continuously reviewing ship abilities and observing the meta. Some changes to ships this week:
New Units - Magic Mirror, Mini Tourney Update, Replay and Streaming!
A new unit has been released to 🛡 Battle Club! Magic Mirror is our first Building unit, and it’s got a sneaky ability. Use the Magic Mirror to copy the ability your opponent has last used! It’s the counter of all counters. You can even mirror a mirror attack (back to back to back Catamaran shots is super fun 😉 )
New Units - Crafty Crab for Battle Club, and Electric Eels for Everyone!
A new unit is coming to Battle Club! We have our very first unity with a passive ability. Crafty Crab’s ability is automatic — when it is alive, every normal attack will generate an additional random reveal attack. It also has the shape of your favourite Tetris piece. We can’t wait to see what new fleets you’d combo this mischievous unit with! 😀
