MyLittleRebalance

A Monster Train 2 mod that rebalances vanilla cards and relics.

Changes

Every vanilla card, its current text and the changes suggested so far are in a public spreadsheet. Suggestions are welcome there.

• Pyreblooded — Empower's attack gain is now permanent instead of lasting one battle; cooldown 3 → 6, and it starts on cooldown.
• Twisted Back — Rage on attack 2 → 1; attack bonus +15 → +5.
• Iron-tongue — its fixed attack is now the status effect Fixed Attack 30, shown on the card and the unit, replacing the card's extra sentence. Fixed Attack stacks add up (Fixed Attack 10 + Iron-tongue = Fixed Attack 40), and Superfood Primordium passes it to the eater instead of just +30 attack.
• Ethereal Seelie — Dualism now doubles its "+1 Conduit each time it is applied" too (+2 with Dualism).
• Test Subject Alpha — Sweep → Pierce 2 (Conductor): attacks hit the targeted unit and the 2 units behind it.
• Inspire — costs 0 ember instead of 1.
• Conductor Steward — Train Whistle's whistle sounds before the units attack, not after. The effect itself is unchanged.
• Electricity Chamber — friendly units also gain Unstable 10 and Rage 8 (with Spikes 8) on Summon and Reanimated.
• Reanimation Lab — now: the front friendly unit gains Reanimate 1 on Resolve (was +7 Attack and +7 Health on Summon and Reanimated).
• Herzal's Hammer — no longer gives +5 Attack; Strike buff +3 Attack and Armor 3 → +2 Attack and Armor 2.
• Organ Harvester — gains Reanimate 1 on Siphon instead of Slay.
• Penitent's Bloodsuit, Penitent's Deathsuit — return to hand when the equipped unit is destroyed. Bloodsuit costs 1 ember instead of 0.
• Stoic Platemail — adds Steelguard.
• Windblade — Shift gives Valor 2 instead of 1.
• Meathook — gains Sniper: attacks the rearmost enemy unit.
• Collection of Tails — also: when a friendly unit gains Rage, it gains +1 stack (Rage still does not decay on friendly units).
• Scorching Restraints — friendly units enter with Rage 5 instead of 3.
• Judge's Scales — pick the cards to discard all at once: a click greys a card out where it sits in hand (click again to unmark it), and one Discard button discards every marked card and draws that many. Done keeps the hand. SelectedCardTint in the mod's BepInEx config sets another colour for the marked cards, applied at once. The effect itself is unchanged. BetterUI ships the same change; when it is installed, this mod leaves Judge's Scales to it.
