Mechabellum Update 0.8.2.2 Balances Units And Brawls

Mechabellum update 0.8.2.2 adjusts unit stats across the board, tweaking health pools for Fortress and Vulcan while changing scaling mechanics for Marksman and Phoenix.

The latest patch for Mechabellum brings targeted balance adjustments to several units, alters tech timing, and adjusts costs in the 4-Player Brawl mode. The changes shift how certain units scale into the late game and alter deployment economics.

Unit Stat Tweaks

Fortress health drops from 51205 to 48644, a 5 percent decrease, and shield HP decreases to 36000 per level. Vulcan health increases by 4 percent from 38585 to 39920. Overlord attack increases from 3514 to 3742, while attack interval lengthens from 4.4s to 4.6s. War Factory range decreases from 110 to 100.

Scaling And Mechanic Adjustments

Marksman and Phoenix scale directly with unit rank, gaining 5 range and 20 percent attack per rank increase. Arclight attacks gain a 300 percent boost alongside a 35 percent longer attack interval, maintaining the same overall DPS as before. Melting Point tech launch interval moves from 13 seconds to 15 seconds, and production interval shifts from 30 seconds to 32 seconds. Wraith units project a degeneration beam within 120m that reduces enemy movement speed by 40 percent, lowers ATK by 20 percent, and increases incoming damage by 30 percent.

Cost And Brawl Adjustments

Scorpion cost drops from 300 to 200. Sandworm ATK rises 10 percent from 7567 to 8324. Specific Sandworm-related costs change: one drops from 250 to 200, another drops from 250 to 100, a third drops from 250 to 200, and a fourth increases from 250 to 300. In 4-Player Brawl mode, Stronger Unit Drops appear more frequently but cost more, level 2 and above Hackers no longer appear as unit drops, neutral unit kills correctly grant supplies and points, and Sandworm targeting bugs are resolved.

Why this patch matters

Update 0.8.2.2 addresses outlier units with precise nerfs and buffs while rebalancing costs to encourage different army compositions.
