I just unlocked Arena 5 and the upcoming changes will be interesting since I have a lineup that includes Bomber, Witch, Skeletons and Tombstone. All these cards will have an increase in damage and hitpoints. I hope I can get up in the ranks a little with this update. I don't think the changes will require an application update and the changes could be similar to how it was released before that would only require a short downtime of the game.
