Claws Of Power Patch notes
Every Claws Of Power update since launch, plus the official roadmap.
Welcome to the Claws Of Power updates hub. This section gathers every patch note released by Garlic Sprouts, plus the official roadmap.
Key pages
- Release notes — every patch listed with its content, fixes, and impact on the meta.
- Roadmap — upcoming content, scheduled dates, and official announcements.
Patch schedule
Garlic Sprouts follows a major-patch cycle every 4 to 6 weeks, with one-off hotfixes for critical bugs. Content patches (new cats, dungeons, events) are released around the 21st of every even month.
How we document patches
Every patch is documented within 24 hours of its official release. The documentation includes the full patch notes as published by Garlic Sprouts, plus our own analysis of the meta impact and any breaking changes that affect existing decks.
Where to find live patch news
For real-time patch news, follow the Garlic Sprouts Discord or the Steam announcements on the game’s store page. We mirror both sources on this wiki within an hour of any official post.
Archive
Older patches are kept in the Release notes archive. We never delete a patch note — even the smallest hotfix is kept for historical reference.
This hub links the live Release notes archive to the Roadmap so you can always tell what shipped and what is next.
What changes with every major patch
Every major patch ships the same five things in the same order: a balance pass on the lowest-tier cats, one or two new cats, one new dungeon, an event window tied to the new dungeon, and a tracked achievement that lasts the whole event window. The balance pass is what shifts the tier list, so we re-run the S-Tier Cats comparison within 48 hours of any patch that touches a melee or ranged DPS. The event window is the cheapest source of premium gems outside codes — we list every active window inside Release notes so you can plan around them.
Reading patch numbers
Garlic Sprouts uses semantic versioning on the client but patches the live build independently. The number on the main menu reflects the major version only; the full changelog lives in the Steam announcement. When a patch is mandatory, the launcher will refuse to connect until you update — this is the moment when old codes stop working as well, because the server rejects the old client signature.
Where the wiki mirrors patches
We mirror every official announcement inside the wiki within an hour of release. Major patches get a dedicated section in Release notes with our own meta analysis. Hotfixes are listed at the bottom of the same page in chronological order. If a patch breaks something we cover elsewhere, we leave a banner on the affected page until the next stable build.
Frequently Asked Questions
Fast answers to the questions players ask most.
How often does the game receive updates?
A major patch every 4 to 6 weeks. Hotfixes ship within 48 hours for critical bugs that block progression.
Do patches come with server maintenance?
Yes, usually 1 to 3 hours depending on the content. The [Release notes](/updates/release-notes/) page announces the exact windows in advance.
Are saves preserved between patches?
Yes. Every patch preserves player progression, even when tier lists reset. Accounts and inventories are never wiped.
