Right now, I'm participating in a tournament using the TE version! For the third time, I've been matched against a Conflux in the draw!!! Even though it's my favorite Castle, I'm losing games one after another!!! Firstly, the increase in birds is only +2 with the Castle!!! You can only upgrade the Fey after building the Resource Vault!!! In short, I'm already having doubts!!!! And is the Castle really strong after these nerfs??? Many strong players consider it weak!! Although, of course, with a +5 bird increase, it's viable!!! But try it out??? And they don't favor Ciel!!! Everyone seems to be playing Monere, who has the Psi specialty.
And in general, it's more difficult to play on TE - many things have indeed been nerfed... I'm not happy with the situation with spells, for example. Like Slow on level 2, etc. But you can upgrade classes - Warrior, Sage, and so on. The advantages are quite noticeable and attractive...
