Mechabellum is an infinitely replayable, turn-based tactical auto battler in which you gain victory by adapting your strategy and outhinking your opponents. Select, customize, and deploy a variety of powerful mechs in a futuristic battlefield face-off, and watch as they wreak epic mechanized havoc.
From the nimble Wasp to the massive, flame-wielding Vulcan, learn the strengths and weaknesses of dozens of unique units. Between matches, visit the unit workshop to refine your army, access new technologies, and develop advanced tactics to maximize your squad’s destructive power.
Utilize dozens of battle-ready mechs in a chaotic, tactical dance between battalions. Anticipate your opponent's moves, select the perfect combination of units, and strategically position your mechs on the battlefield to annihilate the enemy’s forces.
Hone your skills with community-created challenges and tutorials. Spectate live matches. Battle against bots and complete challenges in the game’s solo modes. Take control of replays of past battles to explore different strategies. Then face off against other human commanders in intense 1v1 duels, strategic 2v2 team battles, and chaotic four-player free-for-all competitions.

Balance Adjustments
Stormcaller
\[Heavy Missile] ATK modifier +120% → +80%, missile HP modifier +250% → +200%
Developer's Note: Currently, we are still collecting more balance data on \[Heavy Missile]. Early data show that the strength of this Tech is unstable, sometimes strong and sometimes weak. To play it more safely, we have decided to make a minor nerf to it for now and plan to make further adjustments after obtaining more data in the future.Bugfixes
Now Missile Interceptor Tech will also show an indicator of the area like other Techs.
Fixed a visual issue with the Experimental Death Knell

Balance Adjustments
Stormcaller
\[High Explosive Anti-tank Shells] changed to \[Heavy Missile]: Increases ATK by 120%, increases Missile HP by 250%, but increases Attack Interval by 25%
Developer's Note: This Tech provides players with a means to counter Missile Interceptors. It is worth noting that the significantly increased Attack Interval makes Stormcaller particularly ineffective against Light Units.Sledgehammer
\[Armor-Piercing Bullets] Cost 150 → 100
Developer's Note: After the nerf to \[Mechanical Rage], \[Armor-Piercing Bullets] seems a bit too weak.Mustang
\[Culling Rounds] Cost 200 → 250
\[Armor-Piercing Bullets] Cost 300 → 250
Developer's Note: We have adjusted both the most and least popular Tech for the Mustang, aiming to make the Mustang's Tech choices more diverseVortex
\[Grid Integration] Cost 200 → 250

Balance Adjustments
[p align="start"]The remake of Typhoon and the nerf to Hacker have triggered a series of ripple effects. Currently, many Typhoon-related tactics are still developing, which results in a relatively low win rate despite their high usage. We are closely monitoring the situations of Typhoon, Phoenix, Fortress, and Vulcan, and we expect to make more adjustments once the data for Typhoon becomes more stable.[p align="start"]Hacker
ATK 615 → 645 (+5%)
Developer's Note: After the adjustment to the Attack Mode, as we expected, Hacker's efficiency in hacking medium and light units has decreased. The goal of this new adjustment is to slightly improve Hacker's efficiency in hacking larger units while maintaining its weakness against medium and light units.Overlord
ATK 4474 → 4742 (+6%)
HP 20323 → 21339 (+5%)
Developer's Note: Due to the remake of Typhoon and the rise of Farseer, the usage rate and win rate of Overlord have dropped quite a bit. Therefore, we need to slightly buff it. Additionally, we are considering adding new Tech to Overlord and Stormcaller in the future to help them counter Missile Interceptors.Vulcan
\[Best Partner] Cost 300 → 350
Developer's Note: The Vulcan Marksman combo is one of the most popular unit combinations in the game. Currently, the \[Best Partner] has become too strong, so we need to slightly increase its cost.Marksman
\[Assault Mode] Cost 150 → 200
Developer's Note: After Hacker's nerf, Marksman's \[Assault Mode] became too dominant in higher MMR ranges.Phoenix
ATK 3058 → 2814 (-8%)
\[Charged Shot] Damage modifier +175% → +200%
Developer's Note: After the Typhoon's remake, the already very powerful Phoenix has become even stronger, which indirectly led to an increase in the usage of units like the Fortress that counter Phoenix. This adjustment slightly nerfs the Phoenix's base damage while buffing its less popular Tech.Starter Packs
\[Fang & Sledgehammer] Player HP modifier 0 → +100
\[Crawler & Sledgehammer] Player HP modifier -400 → -300
\[Sabertooth & Arclight] Player HP modifier -300 → -200
\[Hound & Mustang] Player HP modifier +600 → +400
\[Vortex & Mustang] Player HP modifier 0 → +200
\[Vortex & Tarantula] Player HP modifier 0 → +300

Bugfix
Fixed an issue related to Vortex
Balance Adjustments
Experimental Death Knell
\[Laser Trial] Attack Range modifier -10 → 0
\[Hyper Diffraction] Attack Range modifier -30 → -25
\[Rapid Reload] Missile launch interval reduced by 5s → 6s
\[Magazine Expansion] Missile count per launch increased by 10 → 15
\[Shield Trial] Shield value per Rank 30000 → 25000
\[Wide-Area Projection] Shield value increased per Rank by 50000 → 25000
\[Shield Recharge] Shield regenerates HP per second 4000 → 2000
\[Shield Reboot] Reboot time 20s → 25s
Developer's Note: The shield Tech line of the Experimental Death Knell has been too strong in the past week, so we have nerfed its shield Tech line while buffing other weaker Techs.Typhoon
\[Wreckage Detonation] Explosion range 15 → 12, damage 125 → 115
\[Field Reassembly] Cost 250 → 300
Developer's Note: Currently, we are closely monitoring the evolution of Typhoon-related tactics. What is relatively clear at this point is that some Typhoon Techs are a bit too strong, so a minor nerf is needed.
Hacker
ATK 585 → 615 (+5%)
Developer's Note: After changes to its Attack Pattern, Hacker has become a bit too weak. This minor adjustment will help Hacker more effectively counter High HP Units while still maintaining its weakness against Light Units.Vortex
HP 7071 → 7425 (+5%)
ATK 1246 → 1309 (+5%)
Developer's Note: When making Vortex a starting unit, we made some nerfs to it, and it seems these nerfs might be a bit excessive. In particular, Vortex appears extremely weak against Sabertooth, and this adjustment will make Vortex perform slightly better when facing the Sabertooth.Phoenix
ATK 3219 → 3058（-5%）
Developer's Note: With the addition of Vortex as a starting unit and the complete rework of the Typhoon, both the win rate and usage rate of the Phoenix have increased a lot. Therefore, we need to make a minor nerf to it.Sabertooth
ATK 7243 → 6881 (-5%)
Developer's Note: With the addition of Vortex as a starting unit and the complete rework of the Typhoon, both the win rate and usage rate of the Sabertooth have increased a lot. Therefore, we need to make a minor nerf to it.Arclight
\[Charged Shot] Cost 150 → 100
ATK 347 → 365 (+5%)
Developer's Note: While Arclight is already slightly weaker compared to other chaff-clear units, we fixed a bug related to Arclight's \ in this patch, which makes Arclight slightly weaker than before. So we decided to make a minor buff to it.Scorpion
\[Convergent Fire] Attack Range modifier +20 → +30
Developer's Note: The initial stats of Scorpion's new Tech are a bit too conservative, which resulted in a lower win rate for this Tech. Therefore, we need to slightly buff it.War Factory
\[Phoenix Production] Production interval 15.6s →17.2s, Maximum production count 7 → 6
\[Steel Ball Production] Production interval 8.8s → 9.7s, Maximum production count 11 → 10
\[Sledgehammer Production] Production interval 6s → 6.6s, Maximum production count 17 → 14
\[Armor Enhancement] Cost 400 → 350
\[Photon Coating] Cost 300 → 250
\[Launcher Overload] Cost 350 → 300
Developer's Note: This adjustment aims to balance the usage rates of different Techs of War Factory. We slightly nerfed the production-related Tech, and at the same time, slightly buffed other Techs. The reduction of the maximum count of production will mainly affect 2v2 and 4-Player Brawl matches, and it will have very little impact on 1v1 battles.Bugfixes

Balance Adjustments
Mustang
\[Culling Rounds] Cost 150 → 200
Developer's Note: The new Techs of Mustang, Hound, and Arclight have brought more tactics to the game, but data shows that they are currently slightly overpowered. The goal of this adjustment is to slightly nerf these three new Techs while ensuring they remain useful, and we hope this gives more opportunities for other units and Techs to be used.
Hound
\[Chamber Compression] ATK increases by 70% per second → 65%
Arclight
\ AOE damage 82 → 75
Scorpion
\[Acid Attack] Cost 300 → 250, Duration 15s → 18s
Developer's Note: Our goal for adjusting the Scorpion is to make it more effective against high-HP units, including Titans. This adjustment is the first step in a series of adjustments to Scorpion, and we will also add a new Tech to it in Season 8.Void Eye
\[Electromagnetic Armor] EMP effect duration 4s → 3.5s
Farseer
\[Photon Emission] Startup time required 1.1s → 0.6s
Developer's Note: Adjusted Photon Emission will provide more stable resistance against EMP effects, while also ensuring Sandworm will be definitely affected by Photon Emission.Overlord
\[Photon Emission] Startup time required 1.1s → 0.6s
Battlefield Powers
\[Photon Emission] Startup time required 1.8s → 0.6s
Other Improvements
Now players can preview the type of the next rift anomaly.
