March's balance changes are largely made of nerfs. They targeted the stats and abilities of a fair amount of Brawlers, especially newcomers such as Glowy and Najia.

Meanwhile, only two buffs were implemented. These affected Clancy and Gigi.

Separately, a bug fix was applied to Spike. Their buffied Popping Pincushion Gadget previously dealt less damage than the non-buffied version. This has now been resolves so that the buffied version deals more damage than the non-buffied version.
