Update confirmed · November 4, 2026. Koin Games has published the official Steam announcement: Cyber Queen is boss 11, Dr. Frank leads the Relentless deck, and all ten balance changes below are confirmed.
More expensive defensive cards, a sturdier Dorothy and a new graveyard-focused deck: the November 4 update gives players several reasons to review their lists. Here is what the confirmed changes can mean for your deck.
The changes at a glance
The update raises the cost of all three bears and Obliterate, reduces Guy of Gisborne’s attack, and improves Dorothy, Banshee, Esmeralda, Genie and Searing Light. Cyber Queen is the new boss; Dr. Frank is the Legendary in her Relentless deck.

What should you check in your decks?
The bears: revisit your opening turns
A one-mana increase matters even when an ability stays the same. Before replacing every bear, look at the turns on which your deck usually needs it. Can you still defend the location you want while playing another card? If your hand now leaves mana unused early, test an alternative with a different cost rather than simply swapping one expensive card for another.
Obliterate and Guy: reassess the job, not just the number
A ten-mana spell demands more commitment. Review the situations in which you actually need Obliterate and whether saving for it prevents useful plays elsewhere. Guy’s lower attack instead affects combat calculations: a familiar trade may leave an enemy alive. Neither change alone proves the card should leave every deck.
Dorothy and the buffs: test specific opportunities
Dorothy’s extra health makes one-damage removal insufficient against her unmodified body. Banshee and Esmeralda gain different advantages—damage for one, survival for the other. Cheaper Genie and Searing Light may fit alongside plays that previously used the entire turn’s mana. Start with one substitution so you can tell what improved.
Cyber Queen is the boss; Dr. Frank is the Legendary
The reported boss number 11 is Cyber Queen, using the Relentless deck. Dr. Frank supplies its Legendary card. This clarifies the earlier shorthand “Dr. Frank boss”: the character you face and the Legendary in the deck are different roles. The previewed cards revolve around discarding and returning characters from the graveyard; that is a direction to explore, not yet a proven competitive ranking.
A short checklist before your next match
- Inspect the affected cards in the game after the rollout.
- Check the cost curve of an existing deck before changing several cards at once.
- Recalculate trades involving the changed attack and health values.
