NERFS and BUFFS follow Supercell's own headings, REWORKS are labeled adjust, and a stat that moves the opposite way to its heading carries a note. Supercell posts a date but no version number, so the date is the post's UTC date. Designer commentary is not tracked. Lines whose stat owner or wording is unclear are held.
