The flow of battle is ever-changing, so readiness to face the enemy is the key to success. Seeing the traitor tide getting ever closer to Terra, the Imperial Fists muster their forces to receive the Warmaster as he deserves: with their surface-to-orbit defence systems.

In this balance update, the Imperial Fists receive a significant shake-up for the first time in quite a while. At the same time, we are introducing a set of changes aimed at reining in some of the Warlords that have been consistently dominant in recent metas. These changes are not yet live, but will make it into the game during this week. Take a look at the full list of changes below:
