over sixty games and I haven't seen Clear Mind from anyone in my games since the new Set was released. The lobbies I was in were either low-rolling like crap or people just don't take it and I'm the one who's actually low-rolling like ass
You can push levels earlier and you can econ with a lose streak. You will have earlier access to 4 cost units and if you hit a good 4 cost, you can win streak from there.
Empty bench is a hefty cost but the payoff of the XP is insane, for one you're gonna be level 5 without spending a cent by 2-3, so you get to fight people without actually bleeding out that much early, and the extra board space early also lets you use it as kind of a "pseudo bench" where you just field your pairs so you can star them up, and you're not that bothered by missing units because you're gonna fill out your team with the early high cost units off having more levels. The nerf also feels pretty fair since it only slow you down a bit and it also means on PVE rounds you get to maybe spike your board since it's not gonna cost you xp to hold units those rounds. Definitely a good change imo, makes it weaker without ruining it while also making it not so autopilot since you gotta use those chances to use the bench on pve rounds well.
Its a bit better this season because it synergizes well with threats since as people mentioned you can just run two copies of a unit you want to triple, and threats dont pay a price for doing that
Because it's 3 gold per round basically. Empty bench is not that hard to play around (you can just play the pairs you want to hold for later), especially not if you're looking to losestreak, which is the common thing to do in this comp
The initial investment is a quite heavy econ cost to be fair, the interest you miss out on means you miss out on more interest later too, i've had games with the augment where filling the bench plus holding units i want to star up cost me so much gold it barely ended up being an advantage (obviously it still was, just not a very big one compared to other gold augs)
Except you could already choose to hold pairs in PVE and not get XP, now the choice is forced. Any advantage you gain you already had the option of doing.
Meh, it's a super tiny nerf. Especially since I've played a ton of Clear Mind, and there's only ONE threshold to hit after Wolves. You'll end up losing like... 12 experience or something, so it's still the same good ol' fast 8 augment we all know and love.
Nah but really hero augments should NOT bd there for 1st turn. The amount of people that don't even use any of them in their comps cuz they either garbage or just take up a slot is insane.
So what? It's up to you whether you play around your hero augment or not. If you find it not worth to keep on the board, then just fill in stronger units instead. Also support hero augments are usually strong af stage 1, even in late stages of the game getting rid of them is usually a mistake.

Iron 5 here, can someone explain, why this augmentation is op? I always thought holding your bench empty is very uncomfortable

Thank you all, guys

How is cluttered mind not being nerfed? Is it not just strictly better besides the initial 1-9 gold investment to fill your bench?

Not really a nerf. Small xp price to pay for being able to hold pairs during PvE
Except you could already choose to hold pairs in PVE and not get XP, now the choice is forced. Any advantage you gain you already had the option of doing.

How do you get that augment? Played 2 sets but never ever got to even see it
@@ossucoolchamp2401 It's a Gold Augment. I've gotten it a few times.
Fair nerf
