BattleCon Changes History

This page intends to collect all the changes that have been in battlecon cards through each edition.

Board

The original Board for War of Indines had two sides, one with a single track with seven spaces and another with two tracks with seven spaces. Originally, Tag Team, EX and Allmighty matches would take place in the two-track board, and a character could only hit or affect an opponent at the same track. This board, along with the Tag Team, EX and Allmighty rules, were changed to the current 9 track board.

Starting Space

In War Classic and Devastation, the characters in a regular duel would start the match in the second and sixth space, with three spaces between them. In order to make the fights more dynamic, in the final version of War Revised and in Fate the opponents now start in the third and fifth space.
