I wasn’t expecting Shere Khan but I’m glad we got another villain

This means no? So no new hero until… February?
Yay!

I’m not a graphic artist, but Shere Khan’s eyes look slightly off; maybe one of his pupils needs to be adjusted slightly? Anyway, setting that aside, he does have an interesting skill set, though it looks like it might be game-breakingly OP. I guess time will tell. His friendships are… obvious, but probably entertaining, even if I would have preferred to see Kaa as one of his friends.
My main worry in this regard is heroes with patches that allow them to pretty much stay invisible for the entire battle, since the only Ducktales hero with Precise is Donald, and that requires so many basic attacks to trigger that he’ll probably never use it in the trials.
Well, maybe; the numbers are so out of whack now that some heroes can still wipe out opponents at Emerald rank while they’re still on Orange ranks. It’s a good initial attempt, and maybe it’ll do the job.
As drastic as this measure is, it might be for the best; there’s a few heroes that one might not expect to cause problems that might need to be considered as well, such as Simba & Nala, whose initial charm can cause problems.
This is a very welcome change; thanks!
These all sound promising, especially the special invasion. And while I know we’ve had a Frozen-themed trial before, I think there’s still a lot of comedic potential yet to be mined with Olaf; maybe the Frozen heroes can interact with some of the newer heroes in this trial. (I’d love to see Eda’s reaction to Olaf, Kristoff, and Sven…)
Also, on a slightly-related note as this is the sort of change usually announced in Patch Notes: Was the Delayed Arrival sabotage removed from the pool of available Guild War sabotages a couple of updates ago? I don’t recall seeing it during the past two seasons, and wasn’t sure if it was just less common now or if it’s gone altogether.
EDIT: Upon re-reading my comment, this does seem more negative than I actually feel about the update; it’s less that I’m unhappy with it than my reactions to much of it range from “cautiously optimistic” to “wary but curious”.

Isn’t it supposed to be 3 weeks like the other prize wall heroes?

It is 2 weeks, with 1 week gap.

That is not at all the case! Prize Walls typically run for 2 weeks. We are extending that time. It has no effect on the release of the new hero afterwards, because we will be entering a new release cadence in 2024. As of now, we are aiming for late January.

I am sorry, what do you mean here, I am still confused here.
Next hero is released in late January, or the new hero candace is starting from late January, so in early January we’re still getting new hero?

I doubt it cause orange heroes don’t have red skills, and usually heroes become broken with red skill and disk stats

I missed that costume because since Frozen 2 came out they changed Elsa

We’re looking into longer term/other small and quick adjustments we can do! For now, this is the quickest fix we can spool up with what we have available.
Hmm, I don’t remember talking about that, but I can ask the team to double check!

Shere Khan is the last Prize Wall hero. The next hero will be released in the new cadence in late January.

Good to know, but now…
Are there any plans to fill the time? New heroes are the MAIN thing.
Now will be an awkward time with no new system, and no new prize wall, and just 1 costume?

I knew it but does this mean the new cadence will be unrevealed but in black like challenger approaching from Super Smash Bros?

Looks like we won’t see it on Tuesday so I’m guessing on Thursday because that’s the day of the game awards
